"Frustrated with the lack of options on the market, she and her husband set out to create a shoe that would cater specifically to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and new parenthood. "

The product of their work is Ja-Vie, a line of “comfort flats” that are lined with functional fabrics and wrapped in a unique jelly coating.

The Fashionable Affair

"After some research, I came across Ja-Vie, a brand of ballet jelly flats. And girl I am so glad that I did! I'm the kind of girl that needs it all in a shoe- arch and heel support, extra comfiness, and a super soft interior. Ja-Vie did all that and more! "

I wore these for a full 8 hour day at school and they were amazing! My feet didn't hurt one bit and I loved the chic look!

"They are ridiculously comfy, cute, and durable."

Mine that I've had for years now still look great, and you can pop out the leather insole and machine wash the shoe. YES, machine wash the shoe!

"Guys, I love them. I love them so much."

There are a few things about Ja-vie that initially sold me. The prints. Oh those prints. If you've been around me or stalked me on social media, you know that I'm a sucker for a good, fun print.

BEING MVP

"Who knew flats could be fashionable, comfortable and machine washable. Yes you read that correctly."

Ever since becoming a mom, I've been mainly living in flats rather than teetering on 5 inch heels while balancing a baby. However, my feet are not always happy due to pinched toes, no support, achy heels and even blisters.

THE REEDY REVIEW

"I've really enjoyed wearing these shoes to work because I can wear them all day long and they never hurt my feet."

I received my first pair of Ja-vies a few weeks ago, and I have absolutely loved them. There was so much thought put into these flats. They're made with a knit lining (similar to an ankle sock) with a jelly coating on the outside.
