These shoes are perfect for my imperfect feet. I recently had one foot reconstructured and the other needs surgery. I purchased 7 pairs, including Dansko, Clark's, Merrells and Keens, and returned and thought there were no shoes for me. I called again with Alegria as a possibility. I spoke with a rep who had been to the manufacturer and also wears Alegria. She suggested Paloma to me, explaining Alegria have so much padding even the ball of the foot. She said the patents are lined with leather and are extremely soft. I chose the tortoise color to wear with all colors. I had a smile as I put them on. I am amazed by the soft glove leather feel of these shoes. I have never felt shoes like these. I am so glad I tried again and now have these adorable mary janes. Thank you to Zappos for treating me great even though I had returned so many shoes in one month. Thank you to Viola for finding the perfect shoe for me.

I give them 5 stars for comfort but 1 star overall because of the quality. As much as I love these shoes, I have had to regrettably return three pairs of Palomas due to the sole splitting along the butterfly indentation on the bottom of the shoe. I am so disappointed and am frustrated by having to try to find something that will be as comfortable. Zappos has been wonderful through the process, Alegria, on the other hand, said it was a batch issue and not to worry about it (I've had to replace 3 pairs since September 2011.)I currently have two split soles and foot pain as a result.

Crazy about this shoe. I want them in every possible finish. The support is excellent. I don't want to take them off. The heel on my right foot is a little loose but I just pull the strap tight and off I go

Initially these were so comfortable, but I suffer from bunions and have a high instep. After a bit of wear, the bunions were aching and the nerve on the instep was pressed too tightly by the strap. Unfortunately, I had to return them for these reasons.

I love these shoes. I am on my feet 8-10 hours a day and you wouldn't know it with these shoes. True to size I love the room and comfort will definitely be buying another pair and would recommend them to anyone!

The shoes were a little narrower in the front than I expected from the style, but once I wore them a couple of times, they stretched and now fit perfectly. I had a little rubbing on the sides with the inside seams the first day, but not any longer. They fit to your foot and they are very comfortable, casual but stylish. Great for that time of year where you have to transition from boots to sandals.

I'd also recommend: Keens, Kork-Ease

I love these shoes. It took a while to get my feet used to the fit, but I love them now. This pair I keep for non-work situations because they are so cool and fun. My other plain black pair of Palomas I use during my 12 hour shifts in the OR...12 hours of standing/walking on concrete. I used to wear Dansko professionals, but I developed foot/back problems in under a year of wearing them at work. I bought the Alegria Palomas on recommendation from a colleague, and will never go back to Danskos. I wear a 7.5 to 8 shoe normally, so I bought the size 38. I wear them with socks always, and they are a slightly large fit, but comfy. I think the 37 would have been too small.
