Aleys MNL: A step beyond style
We’ve stayed at home for so long now that dressing up has become even more exciting. But let’s face it: the pandemic changed fashion indefinitely. It’s kinda crazy, I know.
Two years ago, fashion used to be a big part of the millennials’ and Gen Z’s days. One wouldn’t go out without sporting a fashion statement – whatever that may mean personally. And the cherry at the top? Which, ironically, is something you wear down your body – footwear!
Sadly, because of the virus, there are a lot of us who spend the majority of our time at home. And two years later, our fashion statement has become comfortable pajamas more than anything. Despite this, a brand saw the opportunity to take fashion and style right back on track.
Aleys Mnl
Aleys Mnl‘s owner, Hamidy Ismael, is his glimmer of hope amidst the pandemic.
When the pandemic happened, Hamidy Ismael had to shut down the food business he invested in and was still learning to handle. He moved back to their province and was there for months without anything to generate income from. So after the health situation become more manageable, he knew that he just have to back to Manila to try again.
What started as just a side hustle, Aleys Mnl garnered so much love and respect among its market, and quite a following at that, that Hamidy Ismael decided to focus on marketing the footwear brand.
Setting no boundaries
Upon talking to Mr. Hamidy Ismael himself, I slowly started to understand just how big of a heart is backing Aleys Mnl. Despite being a startup in the complicated footwear industry, the brand is a replica of its humble origin story.
Aleys Mnl remains firm on the stance that comfort and confidence – exactly what Aleys Mnl, as a brand, stands for – is for everybody that wants it, needs it. And in case you’re needing a boost, wearing Aleys’ platforms sandals is definitely the way to go!
“Since footwears are wardrobe essentials, and of course, an outfit staple, we don’t want to limit our target market only into a specific group. We just want Aleys to be for everybody regardless of gender, age, etc. And we made sure to consider all things possible – its weight, durability, appearance and so on – when creating our footwears so anybody can use it.”

And their market is a testament to this claim.
The details and best-sellers
Aleys Mnl’s market just keeps on growing, and there’s no doubt that it will be even bigger. I guess we can’t blame them, I mean, Aleys footwears are simply the best! No exaggerations, the quality is really just superb.
Aleys Mnl’s footwear are made from Italian leatherette. That’s a synthetic material that’s specifically made to mimic real leather. This, of course, makes the products significantly more affordable without compromising the quality. And another plus side, using leatherette makes the sandals waterproof! The perfect fix to the Philippines’ moody, unpredictable weather.
Completing the look are brass metal buckles and almost the same-colored stitching – a definite scream for aesthetics!
Aleys Mnl is not just all aesthetics though. The brand stands for providing classic footwear that provides comfort and confidence, after all.
Did I mention that the sandals are actually light and is a platform at the same time? Yes, you heard that right! With an added height of an inch and a half, you’ll be feeling like you’re taller than you actually are – the best way to stand out!
Kudos, as well, on how well-made Aleys Mnl’s footwears are! It’s like a step into cushion every time since the soles are firm but soft at the same time.
Currently, Aleys Mnl has five (5) well-loved designs. But among these, there are two (2) that stand out the most, and that consumers can’t stop raving for!
Khan Sandals
If you’re the type that’s on the go, then Khan, like a lot of Aleys Mnl’s consumers, might be the best fit for you!
Basically, Khan is perfect for the slip-and-go sandals. It sports a classic look that goes well with anything you have in mind. At the same time, the Khan sandals add a bit of edgy drama to make it look like you tried. The perf fix-up, if you ask me.
The big news is Aleys Mnl is about to launch their Suede Collection. Be sure to check out Khan in Suede.
And even greater news? From its original price of Php 1,000, Khan is now available for only Php 900!
Sein Sandals
Sein comes as the next best-seller, and we can’t see why not!
I love how it adds a bit more support with its added sling strap. It definitely makes the look more appropriate in case there are places that don’t allow wearing slipper-type footwear. And I can’t lie, these platforms make me look a bit cooler than I actually am!
What’s even better is its wide-feet friendly! All the buckles are adjustable with four holes per strap. Finally, people like me who have wide feet can now confidently sport aesthetic footwear without saying goodbye to comfort.
The Sein platforms are available for only Php 1,050 from its original price of Php 1,250. Such a steal!
Where to get yours
I think it’s awesome to see how a brand goes beyond its means to develop a product that knows no gender. It’s even better seeing startups like Aleys Mnl investing in producing quality footwear that is aesthetically classic and gives a boost of comfort and confidence upon wearing it. And their secret?
“I think we don’t really mind (defining what sets us apart) and look at the ‘competitors’. We just want to focus on our goal which is to keep on improving our products.”
