I am in love with Alegria shoes. I bought my first pair online without ever having tried them on - I took a chance out of desperation. I have very serious foot problems, and am constantly looking for a comfortable shoe, and am almost always disappointed. Alegria is the first shoe I have worn in years, the first day I wore then,when I didn't think about my feet all day! What started with one pair has now turned into something of a collection. I just ordered the black rose, to add to my growing collection of 14 pairs. These shoes are not for everyone, as they are a bit chunky looking, and frankly, not very stylish, although I do think the fun colors and patterns help get me past that. They make my feet happy and comfortable, mostly pain free, and that is more important to me than looks. I think that anyone who has suffered from painful foot conditions, especially very flat feet, will love these shoes.

These are wonderful shoes and are the only ones that even remotely help (or at least don't aggravate) my plantar fasciitis. I get tons of compliments on them and no one has ever called them "Frankenstein shoes" - at least not to my face. On the European / USA sizing discussion: My feet are between a 9.5 and a 10 (leaning towards the 10 end of the spectrum) and I always wear a size 40 in European shoes. A 41 (which according to most conversion tables is a size 10) is huge on my feet. I agree with Zappos conversion table rather than with Alegria's (or
Birkenstocks or ...). There are always exceptions, of course. But in this case, in the Alegria Classic
clogs, a size 40 fits my size 10 feet perfectly (with or without
socks). There is plenty of toe room (square toe box). The shoes run wider than most regular width shoes I've tried (other than
Birkenstock). I'd not classify them as a true "wide width" shoe, however. I'd say they are average width, on the roomy side. (They probably won't work well for those with truly narrow feet.) I'm glad for the roominess, as my feet tend to swell from standing 10 hours or more a day.

Absolutely love these! I'm a nurse so I'm on my feet all day. These have zero break-in time which is a blessing. The color is tons of fun and matches anything and everything. I also like that you can wipe them off/disinfect them. Another feature that is amazing is that you can take out the footbed and replace it for around $20...instant rejuvenation! I would recommend these to anyone who works on their feet, especially nurses!

I was stunned at how cute and comfortable these
clogs are. I bought the fabric and patent leather in black, they are like little magic shoes. I mean it. I feel like I am walking on very pretty little clouds. Up until I received them, my feet were so miserable that I sort of whimpered all day, ouch, my bunion, ouch my arch, you know how it is. No more pain, I am thinking about sleeping in these. Zappos, once again, thanks very much.

I love Alegria shoes. I have like 5 pair. I wear these all day in the operating room where I'm on my feet all day. They are not only stylish, but very comfortable on my feet! There is no breaking in period either! The first time you put them on, it feels like you've walked in them for weeks.

Shoe is much cooler in person. Sadly, my wider foot doesn't fit...don't know if ordering a bigger size might have helped, but would reconsider buying if these came in a wide width as well.

I was attracted to these shoes because they are so shiny and pretty. But I hesitated because of the wide style. Well, they have hardly come off of my feet since I bought them. They are so comfy and fun! I just love them! The Tortoise color is subtle and fabulous. A perfect choice if you like "different".

This is my first pair of Alegria shoes and I love them! I have very difficult to fit feet with bunions, and I stand on my feet all day, and these shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've every worn. Great
arch support!

I bought the brilliant snake and really like them. One side (my larger foot) was tight across the instep, but I wore them and they fit perfect now. Light weight, comfortable and great looking.

Love the shoes, but I needed to order 2 sizes over my reg size (short box feet). Also the catalog from Alegria said they have w width. When I called I found out you can order a less thick
insole which gives extra toe room, one can hope. We'll see.
