I’ve gotten a couple press releases for this shoe and I just have to laugh.

Toronto, ON – Make the best-dressed list this fall by wearing Alegria, the new “it” shoe from LA. They’re comfortable, affordable and feature the hottest patterns and colors.

Ooooooh, the new shoe trend from L.A. can I hop on the bandwagon? /sarcasm off

Fall Fashion Forecast With Allegria
Cuddle up! Warm, soft and stylish – from jackets to footwear, shearling will be seen on the best dressed this fall. Featuring an ultra-comfort insole, Alegria’s shearling collection is an ideal companion for a crisp fall day.
Get Trendy with Tartan: Plaid is back and hotter than ever. Tights, short dresses, long jackets – Fall runways are cluttered with all sorts of colors and styles of this pattern that’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Purple Haze: Fall fashion runways are awash in a sea of purple and high-gloss plum. Keeping on trend, Alegria has designed a plum, patent shoe that will take fashionista’s from the catwalk to café.
Welcome to the Jungle! Animal prints continue to make a mark on fall fashions, as Out of Africa inspires international runways. Trendsetters will step happy this fall in whimsical, giraffe printed Alegria shoes.

Just like the Ugg, Crocs and this particular Coach shoe the Alegria shoe will stay on my permanent don’t list. It’s doesn’t matter if it’s patent, zebra or tartan. However for you misguided folk who are serious about purchasing a pair of this ugly shoe, visit stephappy.ca to find retailers.
