Lokal Love with the Vida shoes!

The first time I had Oxford shoes was when I was still in elementary. It was a black suede Oxford. It was a formal shoe. Since then, I have always known Oxford as a formal shoe. It has that classic vibe that I really love to this day.

Classic seems to be the trend right now. And, Oxford shoes have really become popular these days and I never thought I'd be having one especially during the ECQ.

I have seen a lot of Oxford shoes that are locally made, particularly on Facebook, but with the Vida Shoes, it was "love at first sight". 😅

I came across the Vida shoes when my friend re-posted her photo wearing the shoes from Una Lokal. I had no idea that it was a shoe post at first, but it was definitely the first thing I noticed. That nice brown leather shoes was just oh-so-beauuutiful!

The Vida Shoes is priced at PhP1990. It's made of genuine cow leather and handcrafted by Marikeño artisans.

Vida is simple yet elegant. It can be used for formal/business ocassions, office footwear, or casual wear. It's what an Oxford shoe is and always will be--a classic!

Like any other leather shoes, "matigas siya sa unang suot". It hurt my left little toe a bit, but my feet were able to adjust on the second or third use. This is why it took time for me to write a review. I was able to walk the shoes without finally hurting my feet just after a couple of use.

I'm also glad that they helped me choose the right size for me. I'm usually an 8, but because of the width of my feet, they recommended a Size 9 and it was a perfect fit. It actually makes may feet look narrower than usual. 😄

The soles have always been comfortable. I also love that my heels didn't hurt even after the first use. 😊 So, yes it is comfortable and it'll feel more comfortable in time. After all, leather gets better with age! 😅

As to the packaging, it's very artsy and classy at the same time. It complements the style and feel of the shoes. Loved the "thank you" note! A "how to care for your shoes" guide is also provided in the shoe box cover.
