Alegria

Classic

Women's

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.

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.

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.

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!

These shoes are just plain wild! With the beautiful shiny blue, yellow and reddish-orange bird pattern, they are not only sparkly for me to admire, but they also make a statement to others. I'm not sure that it's a positive one that makes me look cool, but at age 68, I care more about how my feet feel. With this Alegria clog style, my arthritic and surgically corrected feet are totally in love! There's even a great arch support and no toes rub on the end. Based on others' reviews about the shoe running large, I bought a 39, a size smaller for me with my feet that run somewhere between an 8.5 and 9. (Left foot is 9, right is 8.5) When I figured out that there is a REAL adjustable buckle, I was ecstatic, because I tightened them up fully and now they fit me well and stay on my foot without sloshing around in the heel area. I think this means that I have a pretty narrow heel, as most other shoes with just a Velcro adjustment look strange when I have to tighten the strap so much there's almost no Velcro to fasten it on, and the straps stick down and out noticeably. I anticipate wearing these shoes mostly around the house and with shorts or jeans in the summer-like temps we live in while in Florida in the winter and western NC in the summer. With their rocker-type bottoms, I feel that I'm standing up a little straighter when walking. With my neuropathy in both feet these shoes (being a little clunky) tend to help me remember to carefully pick up my feet while walking so that I don't trip. I've had these shoes for two days now and except for bed and the shower, haven't removed them yet-they're just that comfortable and user-friendly!
