APMA Podiatrist Approved Sandals Certified by Podiatrist for Good Foot Health The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) is the leading resource for foot health information, representing 15,000 podiatrists across the United States. Many Alegria products carry the APMA Seal of Acceptance, which certifies that Alegria are beneficial in promoting foot health. Alegria has proven millions of times over to demonstrate the ability to provide proper support, improve posture, and reduce stress on the foot thus reducing foot pain. Alegria sandals are made with the same hand-sewn, quality materials, and workmanship as the core Alegria styles. One look at the huge selection of styles, colors, and patterns will make you realize that your feet can be comfortable AND stylish all summer long. The Alegria sandals come in the trendy patterns and colors that you expect from an Alegria shoe. They come in all of the popular sandal styles, as well. The fisherman look, t-strap, thong style, open toe, open heel, a version of a gladiator look and even some styles that you have never seen before—unique and original—just as you have come to expect from Alegria. Alegria sandals have the same patented, interlocking footbed as Alegria shoes. This insole molds to your foot after just a few days of wear. That perfect footbed- made with a unique combination of latex, memory foam, and cork- is the key to providing your feet with a custom sole and arch support that usually are reserved for very expensive shoes. They wouldn’t be Alegria sandals if they didn’t have the “rocker” outsole that promotes perfect posture as you walk, while toning leg muscles and allowing your body to walk in a comfortable, proper gait so that you aren’t exhausted at the end of the day. You will find the same top-quality leather, suede-covered footbed and hand-sewn details in the Alegria sandals that you always find in your favorite Alegria shoes.
