I love these shoes. I work as a Med Tech so I am on my feet a great deal in the hospital laboratory. I already have the Paloma in Sangria Red Patent and they are very comfortable but I wanted the versatility of the brown leather. I can work a 12 hour shift in these and my feet are never hurting when I get home. I wear a 7 1/2 to an 8 in regular shoes and a 37 in Danskos. I had to get a 38 in these so they do run a bit small. You will have tons of toe room and lots of arch support, I'd recommend them to anyone who craves comfort.

I love these shoes! I work on my feet 12 hours a night and these never hurt my feet. They are a little narrow for my wide foot. If your foot is not regular and you usually order a wide size, you may find these a bit snug.

These shoes are very wide! Not only around your foot but also the outer portion of the shoe extends much further than it needs to on the sides and front. I had to send these back since I was tripping over myself with all the extra shoe.

After splitting the seams of countless pairs of shoes, thanks to my wide toes, I finally found a pair of shoes I'm certain will actually wear out. I am on my feet all day, running after kids in a school, and my feet feel great...just enough cushioning and support. The rocker front means I'm not scuffing the toe, as I usually do. I'm saving up for another pair!

I really like these shoes. I bought them because I've been having sharp pain on the ball of my foot. My insurance doesn't cover orthopedic insoles so I thought, Hmmm, out of pocket for medical insoles or cute, new shoes!" Obviously I opted for the shoes and good decision. It looks like the brand started out specializing in work shoes for people on their feet all day and appearance is a luxury, but I'm an office gal and have worn them with skirts, jeans, and black trousers. They are uber comfortable, well constructed, and I've gotten several compliments on the style. Call about the size, they were a full size smaller than other European brands. Highly recommend!

I love the look and comfort of this shoe. The only thing that is a little uncomfortable (for only one of my feet) is that the metal ring where the strap folds back pushes in a little bit on the top of my foot. Other than that, I love these shoes!

Outstanding comfort and support. I am a pharmacist long hours standing first shoe in many years that were comfortable from the first day and look decent.

THEY STRETCH!!! You should know that - for me these shoes felt tight, especially in the toe box. The insole is very thick and I was concerned that they were too small, but I read elsewhere that they would stretch, and they did after only a day of wear. Now they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. I wear them to work as a chef and I think these are the most attractive kitchen shoes I've found so far. They are also easier to walk in than Dansko clogs - I find that outside of the kitchen, I am prone to turning my ankle when wearing the clogs. These shoes are closer to the ground and feel more safe for my ankles.

I love these shoes and I love the all day comfort they give. I can run in them...literally...to a code blue that is, and I am pretty fast in them. I am so addicted to this shoe that I can't even think of another I would even think about. Funny thing is a nurse told me about this shoe and it took forever, a year, plus my plantar fasciitis to hurt like like heck for me to buy them...but now I have 3 pair and I am so happy. Happy dance, happy dance! Just because I can. Ha! The Dayna is a little more snug than the Paloma and because I don't have wide feet I prefer these. I am thankful I have two Dayna's. Oh, and did I mention they are prettier in person The Paloma are for the wider foot, I think? The fit/size: Order in the Europe size of Dansko's, worked for me. I'm a size 40 in Dansko and the same in these. The bronze is true to light bronze in color. The black pat, is my fav!

Finally, a shoe that is going to work. Been a cosmetologist for 35 years and have had such a hard time finding shoes lately, but these are so cute and there are many to choose from. Thanks! I usually wear a 9 1/2 but got a 10 - more toe room.

I am impressed with these shoes so far. I am a scrub tech and I stand all day. These are light weight and comfortable. I have already recommended them to others. Thank you.

These are comfortable with a cute twist on a Mary Jane. The bronze color works well with khakis or darker tans/browns. I normally wear an 8 (sometimes 7.5) and these fit great. Warning: I have narrow feet and these fit well -- so not sure they would work if you're feet are wide at all.

Super comfortable, and a wonderful alternative to the Dansko clogs, which I repeatedly twisted my ankle. Very stable, rocker sole. Adjustable strap accommodates my narrow instep, and the toe box is nice and wide, so there's no pinching. As someone else mentioned, on one of the shoes I get a little rubbing or pressing from the metal closure, but it's nothing I can't ignore.

I am completely disappointed! I have two of the classic Alegria and one sandal and they are my most comfortable shoes. Naturally I expected the same when I purchased the Dayna. Boy, was I wrong. While their other shoes are roomy, these are tight and restrictive and uncomfortable. I don't understand why the fit would change so drastically. Very sad about it. Can't return them because I've already worn them out thinking they'd be just fine.

Very comfortable shoe. I ordered a size larger than I normally wear because my size was out, and I had to return them because they were too big-my foot slipped out when I walked. Standing still, they were great. I have the Paloma in 2 different colors and love them. Thank you Zappos for great service.

I decided I needed another pair of Alegria shoes and decided on the Dayna to see if I would like it even better than the Paloma ones I bought in the fall. I ordered the bronze patent because Zappos has that color on sale. I love the color; they are a fairly dark brown and very shiny and dressy-looking. The style also looked very nice on my foot. However, I have narrow heels and have to pull the strap very tight to keep the shoe from slipping too much. The angled strap on the Dayna hurt the top of my foot after a few minutes. When I loosened it a little, the shoes slipped up and down on my heel way too much (even with the mole foam padding I intended to stick in the heel to get it to fit better). I do not have this problem with the Paloma style, so I will need to return the Dayna and buy another pair of Paloma shoes. If you do not have narrow heels and thus do not need to pull the strap so tight, I recommend that you do try these. If they fit your foot, you will love the way they look and how they support your foot. My other Alegria shoes have been great for my plantar fasciitis.
