Alegria Feliz SKU: #7814543

These shoes are a great blend of comfort and style! I wear Clarks, Merrell, Keen, and Crocs; if you like those brands then definitely give this cute brand a chance! The crinkle leather ages well though it might be somewhat stiff the first few wears, due to the lacquer required to make the leather patent. Wide toe box means it's bunion and hammer toe friendly! If you usually order a size or up (to accommodate wide feet, like mine) you can order your true size, the shoes will quickly soften to fit a D width. My only qualm is that the top line/top edge of the shoe is not a rolled edge. This caused high friction on my Achille's tendon, but with shoe stretching solution I was able to soften it and speed the breaking in period. Overall a great shoe, worth the money, saving up for another pair!

Cute shoe, but fits differently from the Paloma. I slipped out of the heel of this one. Too bad. Cute shoe!

Comfortable shoe, plenty wide and great arch support. I wear a size 8 and my feet are wide with a medium-high arch. I usually wear Danskos, Romikas, Naots and other shoes with good arches. These shoes are great. They are a smaller profile than the other Alegria shoes and look cute too.

Purchased four pairs of shoes today and these were my favorite. This is my first pair of Alegrias. I love the subtle sparkle of the soft black. The fit is incredible, especially the arch support. I don't think I have narrow feet, but I did have to cinch the Velcro strap down tight when wearing them without socks; otherwise the heel would slip as I walk. Overall, I love the look and fit. This is a cute and comfy shoe for a night out, office attire, and especially for my downtown bus commutes.

Love the Black Silver Prism. The world needs more holographic shoes. Unfortunately these were uncomfortable. The strap is so far forward towards the toes that my heels were slipping abnormally out of the shoe; if I tighten the shoe strap, it cuts off my instep circulation. Also, I had a problem with a pair of Palomas last summer that seems to be repeating itself with the Feliz: after about half an hour of wear, if I remove the shoes, my heels and tendons hurt a lot, as I walk around barefoot. Since barefoot is my default state of being, I am going to return the Feliz shoes and not buy Alegria any more.

These shoes are crazy comfy. I don't do well in most shoes, I have flat feet. These are very cute. The foot bed does come out entirely if you need to replace it or put in a custom orthotic. The foot bed actually takes the shape of your foot, much like that mattress you see advertised everywhere. I have since purchased a few other colors in this style and I love them. I even convinced my mother to try a pair. And she is a strictly sneakers only kind of person. They are worth a try. You won't be disappointed.

Runs really big. I tried on the classic style and wore a 38, ordered these and they were like boats on my feet. Ordered the next size down, and they were still too big. Hoping the third time is the charm and that they fit this time!

Love these shoes! I'm a nurse and and 6 feet tall. The Feliz does not make so tall that I have to bend over. Since I started wearing these shoes I have not had sore feet after a 12 hour shift and my back feels great. I wish they came in more of the colors that the other styles do.

Run a bit big and the Black Prism is a bit too sparkly. (You couldn't tell from the photo online.) I'm sending them back for a half-size smaller and in a different color.

I own a pair of Alegria Palomas and love them, so these caught my eye and I decided to try them out. Unfortunately, not only did I have to order a full size smaller (the same size I ordered as my Palomas were too large, as my heel kept slipping out), after a day of wearing them I had blisters on both sides of my feet. This style is not as wide as the Paloma style (and I do have wide feet), so I will not be buying them again. That's too bad because I love the style and the festive, sparkly look of them. Back to buying the Paloma style only, I guess. I own a pair of Alegria Palomas and love them, so these caught my eye and I decided to try them out.

I love the color and style of the shoes, but I have to return them because the shape of the toes (similar to Crocs) crowds my second toe -- it's a 'Morgan' toe, which means it's longer than my big toe! Won't fit.

Really cute shoe, but fit is way off. This shoe runs very long, and is wide in the heel. Went down a size, and my heel still pulls out of the shoe, no matter how tight I make the strap.

These shoes are a little hokey and a full size too large. But they are very comfortable.

Very cute. I got a size 41 but those were too big. I got the size 40 and thought they would be perfect. But, after wearing them for two days, I came away with a blister and, now scar, across the top of my foot. Sigh...perhaps if these had been available in wide width? Love Alegrias and love Zappos. Great service!

I ordered the Feliz in Black Silver Prism. They're cute and comfortable, but beware -- the photo does not truly convey how sparkly these shoes are. I literally gasped when I opened the box. When I wore them to work on Friday, I told all of my co-workers that they would need to use Jazz Hands if they spoke to me that day. Ch-cha!

These are very cute shoes but a bit different. I ordered the 40 thinking it would fit, but is a bit snug so returning them. Not sure if I will reorder in a larger size or not. The black sole is not very compatible with the white shoe for summer.

These are great! It took me a couple of tries to find the right size (I ordered 41 but they were too big--I'd ordered 40 in a Paloma but they were too small), but these fit just right. The service at Zappos couldn't have been more helpful. I'm sure to try other models of the Alegria shoe!
