Liquid Shell™ is a protective barrier between the upper and lining of the vamp that repels liquids and helps to keep the feet dry. This technology comes in addition to Alegria’s signature ergonomic support and modern design.

“It’s rare to find shoes that balance fashion-forward, of-the-moment designs with all-day support, but Alegria does exactly that. I wear them during my shifts and love how they keep me comfortable while staying on trend,” explained Dr. Porscha Bailey, DPM. “I confidently recommend them to my colleagues and patients who want shoes that perfectly combine style and reliable support."
