One of the most popular Vivaia silhouettes that received a blessing from podiatrists is the Margot Mary Jane, which has been spotted on Selena Gomez.

Why it matters

The shoe's updated strap prioritizes all-day comfort. Other Vivaia styles that received the APMA Seal of Acceptance include the chunky-heeled Julie Arch Pro and the Margot 2.0 flat.
