Alegria

It's hard to find comfortable white summer shoes for people who need an arch support. I liked these but they are a bit wider than the Classic Allegria. I need to return them because I also have very narrow feet. They seem well-made like the Classics. Besides being to wide, they were comfortable. I wish they came in a medium or regular width.

I had excruciating heel pain in addition to a bunion, flat feet and a club toe. Dr. wanted to give me a cortisone shot. Instead I bought the Alegria Paloma. The heel pain went away. Since then I have purchased 2 more Palomas and 2 Daynas. I am a teacher and need comfortable shoes. I can wear my Alegria shoes all day and even into the evening. The only issue I have is that 4 pairs of my Alegria shoes squeak. My oldest pair does not. I have found that if I take the insole out and spray with a good quality silicone the inside of the shoe around the area where the shoe meets the sole. They will not squeak while I wear them that day. Unfortunately, I must respray the next time I wear them. It is strange that my oldest pair does not squeak. Maybe Alegria has changed the composition of the insole material. I will continue to spray and wear my Alegrias because they make my feet feel so good and I like the cute styles. Last week while out shopping, 4 strangers told me they liked my shoes. One lady wanted to know where she could buy some.

Really pretty!, love zappos and their excellent customer service, especially when it hardly exists anymore!

I love these sandals! I have numerous foot issues including plantar fasciitis, but I can wear these sandals all day, walking long distances with minimal discomfort. They go well with jeans, skirts, and dresses. So glad I bought them.

I have 3 pairs of Paloma: blue tile, brown pull-up, & the lady walking with poodle. Love them! They are unique looking & I've had a lot of positive comments. At 64 years old & dealing with back & leg pain, I can't wear heels anymore; and I'm only 5' tall! The little lift Alegria shoes offer, along with the comfort, is heavenly. I just ordered a pair of the Kleo sandals; they are wonderful.

I just got these adorable sandals in the mail today, just one day after ordering them from Zappos. They fit like a dream. I also have 3 pairs of Alegria Paloma shoes, & was concerned about the sizing differences. I am a size 7.5, and for the Paloma, I ordered a size 37, and they fit perfectly, but the Kleo size for 7.5 is 38. I contacted Alegria directly, & they explained that, yes, I should order the 38 in this shoe; that the actual inside bed of the shoe is, in fact, a 37. The Pastel Passion pattern is gorgeous, and I love the little rosebuds on the outside of the toe straps. If I could afford to do so (and I can't!), I would order another pair of these in either the brown or black. I can see that I'm going to really put these sandals to use this summer. Thanks to Zappos for continued great customer service.

I thought these shoes looked cute enough for work, especially in profile. I work as a waitress and non-slip soles are required. I am trying to replace my non-slip Klogs, which I bought in September and only work 1 or 2 nights/week. When I took the Alegrias out of the box, I thought, they have got to be one of the most unattractive shoes I've seen. They are practically rectangular except they flare out even more at the toes like a duck foot. They didn't even offer much arch support (I have flat arches, but not particularly wide feet) and made my feet look gigantic, as if I'd worn the shoe box instead. Back they go. Sorry Zappos, I feel badly not purchasing anything from this round.

After having bad luck with Danskos and another pair of shoes, I decided to order a size larger in these than I normally wear. They are definitely too big but still quite comfy - since they are maryjane style, they stay on my foot just fine and I decided to hang on to them for my work shoes. I'd like to get another pair but would order my true size. They did start squeaking quite loudly after a while, not sure if it's just something that happens with this material (never had shoes like this before) or what, but it isn't enough for me to retire them yet. I work long overnight shifts at a hospital and these are the first shoes I have found where I am able to be on my feet all night and they don't hurt like crazy at the end of my shift. Thanks for dealing with all my exchanges, Zappos!

I work 12 hour shifts and these shoes hold up the whole day. I was very happy with the way my feet and legs felt after running around for 12 hours. Best shoe I have found in years.

Super comfy! Had been wearing Sanita maryjane style shoes for work and though they were better than athletic shoes, I still had leg and foot pain. Got these in the metallic rose (because I love anything shiny!) and based on all the reviews, I expected no real break in period. Ouch. The first time I wore them I had to go shopping. By the end of the day I was walking on the backs of the shoes because I had fat blisters. Haha for thinking I could wear them like that right out of the box! Second time I wore them for a normal day of work and still got blisters and they were a tiny bit snug still, but I was very happy. Third time, I wore them at a night out after work and ended up partying all night in them! Walked miles in them from bar to bar. Had small blisters the next day, but they were broken in! Now I wear them every day to work and seriously, they are the most comfortable shoe ever! I need more colors and styles! Get compliments on them all the time. So cute!

I love this sandal for the comfort, arch support, overall foot support, and super cute style. The adjustable straps allow you to find the perfect fit. This is my second pair of Algeria sandals. I bought the first pair last summer in Sedona while on vacation in the Carina style and couldn't wait to get another pair for this summer! I purchased the special serpent and am going to place another order for the white pastel passion in the same style. You can't go wrong with Algeria, especially if you like comfort and cute all in one very well made sandal! I appreciate Zappos' customer service. I received my sandals a few days after placing my order.

I'm so glad I kept trying to find the right shoe. I've ordered so many black summer sandals from Zappos, and their customer service has been excellent. I've finally found one that is attractive, supportive, holds onto my foot without binding, and most importantly is wide enough. I'm pleased, at long last.

These shoes are wonderful. I have worn them at length from the first and they are supportive and very comfortable.

My husband loved these shoes that I got for my mom. She wears one size larger. It just fit my size 8½W feet. So I am keeping them. I think, it is the style because I have others in this brand that are a size smaller.

I'm a big fan of Alegria Shoes, but this particular sandal will have to go back. Unfortunately, the foot bed of the Carina sandal is more narrow than the other styles. Being on my feet for several hours at a time means that I need a shoe that won't rub at the seams, and the Carina did just that.

Love these shoes. I was looking for a comfortable sandal that was also stylish with some color. I have 3 other pair of Alegria shoes that are the most comfortable brand I have ever experienced and am so happy these sandals not disappoint.

These are heaven on your feet. I work in a hospital and would see these shoes in various styles on all kinds of medical (and other!) feet. I have tried every nurse type shoe out there...these are by far the most comfortable for ten hour days. They also served me well for a vacation in Europe with lots of walking. The only time I have ever taken only one shoe for an entire vacation and never had tired or sore feet. I did have to order one size up from my normal size and had to send back my first pair due to sizing, but Zappos is the best when it comes to quick and free returns and re-orders. Love Alegria and love Zappos!

I have plantars fasciitis so I love the arch support. It's great not to us an orthotic insert. I gave the style only 4 stars because the buckle strap is taking a little bit of adjusting to.

The shoe appears wide and comfortable; however, after wearing it for few hours it caused severe pain around the toes. The insoles provide sufficient support, but they turned my socks yellow. Will not recommend for long standing or walking. Shoe very narrow inside, but wide externally.

Very comfortable AND fun! I hadn't heard of Alegria shoes, but found them via recommendations of the brand from other folks who need/wear supportive, comfy shoes. So glad I did! I like these very much, but please note that because Zappos uses such good lighting to photograph them, they appear lighter in some photos. Alas, I'd prefer lighter. Rather than turquoise, I'd consider these more of a jade green or turquoise green, and they are accurately pictured in terms of color where there isn't a lot of light reflecting off of them. They are comfortable with or without socks, and the adjustable strap (a buckle, not velcro) makes it easy to modify the fit over the top of the foot.
