Customer Reviews Alegria Classic

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.
