Papa Bear Discoveries: GLAGLA Ventilated Shoes

Was just going through Facebook and saw an interesting Facebook ad.

Papa Bear just loves sneakers as you well know and the design of the shoe on the ad caught my eye.

Well Glagla apparently is from France and is unisex. The description of the brand on the page reads:


"The original challenge was to create from scratch a shoe that was designed for warm weather activities. Thus, the shoe would need to allow the foot to be cooler and more ventilated than any other shoe on the market. Making the creation of this shoe even more difficult was the desire to accomplish the technological revolution in a very fashionable and visually appealing design.

The Glagla shoe is unisex and is a huge hit with men, women and kids alike. Glagla has been called the revolutionary shoe of sport and leisure activities dedicated to summer. Glagla is the first sneaker in the world with natural ventilation through its high-tech components that allow complete circulation of the air in the entirety of the shoe. It also protects the natural movement of the foot thanks to its shape and flexibility. It’s extra-flexible sole creates the sensation of walking comfortably without shoes."

Hmmmmm... if its designed for warm weather then its perfect for the Philippines. Now if its waterproof and can be submerged in water then it would doubly perfect don't you think? 

Interesting also is what they say that it creates the sensation of walking without shoes. So is this shoe minimalist or part of the barefoot craze? I'm hopping over to one of their stores this weekend to try on a pair: Rustans Gateway, Rustans Alabang Town Center, Rustans Cebu, Happy Feet Robinsons Galleria, The Shoe Shop, Powerplant Mall, Rockwell.

Not sure yet if PAPA BEAR approves, so wait for the final verdict.
