Holiday Gift Guide: Alegria Shoes -Review (and a Giveaway)

I love shoes,  especially cute comfortable shoes I came across Alegria Shoes and found that you can have both, fashionable and comfortable in one shoe!

ALEGRIA™ means HAPPINESS.. it is also a new line of fun footwear created by California based company PG Lite.

Alegria is developed with technical features that promote health and wellness. Its simple slip on ergonomic construction suits the relaxed California lifestyle. A heavenly padded footbed really feels like you are walking on clouds. Made with leather in a variety of bright, up-beat collectable designs, Alegria adds color therapy to your day and its rocker bottom adds spring to your step. Being comfortable in your own shoes never felt like this before.

I was very fortunate to be able to pick a pair to review, that was so hard for me! After browsing the great Fall 2011 selection there were just so many great styles and colors of shoes to choose from. 

I went with the Alegria Feliz Black Leather Shoe

Alegria Feliz Black Leather Shoe

• Black Leather Upper Women's Casual Flat
• New Mini Bottom Outsole
• Adjustable velcro strap makes this a great fitting shoe for all width
• Removable patented interlocking footbed system with latex, memory foam and cork.
• Superior arch support
• Leather lining and hand sewn

My Review:

As many of you know I am a working mother. And my job requires me to be on my feet at times most of the day. And this really takes it out on my feet., buy the time I get home most of the time my feet are beat and sore. I am not a nurse but I have worn nurse shoes at work before… the pair I had was a white clunky pair. They were not very flattering at all! But they were so comfortable and they saved my feet from the pain so I wore them… those are long gone. And to have a comfortable pair of shoes that are stylish? Alegria to the rescue! So I was so excited when the shoes arrived.

As soon as they arrived I just had to try them out, taking them out of the box I say that they had this cute Alegria key chain attached to the shoes. But the most important thing I saw was that the shoes are incredibly well made, I love the leather upper, and  the ergonomic construction does suit the California life style, but it also suits the Philly working mom style!  The foot bed is heavily padded, and this makes all the difference, I would describe it as a soft marshmallow. It is just like walking on air, and that makes these shoes one of a kind!

I just had to wear the shoes to work the next day, and I was very impressed. I sometimes wear sneakers to work (because it is quite the trip to get into work two trains lots of walking etc..) but I decided I would wear my Alegria Feliz Black Leather Shoes. I was a bit concerned… Would the shoes stay comfortable on the trip to work? Sure they are comfortable when you try them on but will they make the trip and be comfortable thought the work day?  I have to say yes they stay comfortable. I am very happy with the shoes, my feet were comfortable the whole day, I could not ask for more out of a pair of shoes.

 And they are quickly becoming my favorite shoes for work and play.

With these shoes, they are comfortable enough to wear all day, and stylish enough that I can wear them out after work, if I am going to a happy hour, or just out to dinner with friends.  I love the simple “Mary Jane” look to them.

Do you know a nurse, a Hair dresser, a teacher someone on their feet all day? Or just someone who loves stylish and comfortable shoes? Then Alegria Shoes is the place for you to start getting some of your holiday shopping done. With the holidays right around the corner who on your list would love a great comfortable shoe for a gift. I know I would love it!
