Customer Reviews Alegria Classic

The size was weird, I am a true 9, and it felt like they were both too small and too large and pinchy. They are by far the homeliest shoes I have ever put on my feet. I took them out of the box and stepped into them, and my husband just went 'ewww'. I had to agree, they were ugly, and not in a cute way, while also being somehow very uncomfortable. I returned them posthaste.

made my size 8.5 feet look ridiculously flat and wide. Dumbest shoes ever. They were giant ... too big all around ... but sizing down wouldn't help. The curved-up toes, the flat, wide toe box, the extra long footbed, the "collar" that sticks into your ankle and the lack of support all combine to make Alegria shoes a hard-pass for me. My husband walked into the room while I was trying these on and broke into hysterical laughter ... he said they would be just right for Wilma Flintstone. I also bought the Seville style and, while those were also hideous, they were slightly less obnixious and were far more comfortable (because the "collar" was rounded and lower ... didn't poke into the ankle.

This is truly the ugliest pair of shoes I have ever seen on my feet, or, even off my feet. They look even worse on the feet. They made my feet look clubbed or deformed . I guess cuteness is in the eyes of the beholder since other reviewers like this look. But, even if I had gotten a pair with the little whimsical designs, I can't see where the horrible shape and thick boxy klutziness of this shoe ,plus the weird pseudo Mary Jane design, would ever be in the slightest bit cute? They also threw my back off immediately after I stood up in them, shifting my posture backwards in the wrong position, and causing pelvic/back pain. This happened each of the three times I put them on in the house. To be fair, I have chronic back problems so it may just be idiosyncratic for my particular body. They are also not extremely light as the manufacturer suggests. This claim is a bit misleading . They are not as heavy as Danskos clogs (which are much cuter and more comfortable), but not super lightweight. Two good features are that you can adjust the buckles to some degree, although I would have had to add more holes. Also, there is some arch support. Since my pelvis/posture was thrown off and I was hurting in the shoes, the arch support didn't matter. These shoes were the worst shoe purchase I ever made on line. No way would I have purchased them if I saw them in a store . But, since Zappos is usually so great to deal with they will be shipped back immediately.

I’m very disappointed. I ordered the Alegria Classic in Black embossed rose in a 39 wide, and I received a 39 regular instead. When I contacted customer service about the error, they just said that the size I needed was out of stock so they sent the wrong size as a replacement. That makes no sense! This is not the customer service that I’ve come to expect from Zappos. I was so excited to get my new shoes, and now there are none of the Classic available in my size. I’m going to have to look elsewhere.

I have plantar fascitis and I was desperate for a good walking shoe that was also at least somewhat cute... These are not it. I was not wild about the style but so many reviewers raved about them, I decided I had to give them a try! First off, as many people say...they ARE clunky: awkward, heavy, and homely as can be. But this would all be forgiven if they were as super comfortable as some people said. I did not find them so: they leather is very stiff and unyielding, and the part at the top of your foot (don't know what to call it...the tongue?) where the strap goes through rubbed and dug as I stepped. I wear a 6.5-7 depending on the shoe and I have a foot that is not super wide, but perhaps middling. I got these in a size 37 with a medium width, and they felt short and narrow to me, besides being stiff as heck. Definitely not for me :(

Did not like the way they made my heel sit lower than my toes. They make me walk funny, kind of clunky. Plus I did not like the way they looked on my feet.

Yuck, I did not like this shoe! It's not very attractive, made my feet look ducky! It was very stiff and super narrow in the toe box...do not buy if you have wide feet! My feet are not even that wide, I can wear most shoes without any problem. I had no wiggle room for my toes in this shoe at all. I ordered my standard Euro size that I wear in Dansko and these barely fit! There are so many better clogs on the market today I would not buy these if I were you. Just my opinion. Zappos is amazing, so is their return department!

I bought these shoes after careful research and consideration. I don't like them. They are tight on top of my feet and I have tried stretching them out using the blow dryer method. I have worn them to try to break them in, even though they hurt. The footbed isn't really all that comfy. And yes, they are big, shiny and stiff like clown shoes.
