Customer Reviews Alegria Classic

Although they make your foot look fat, they are perfect for work. I am a nurse and I love them.

Fun shoe -- neat look (chocolate embossed rose), good comfortable leather, wonderful fit with no break-in, instep well supported, and the footbed feels like a pillow. I'll probably buy another in a different color.

Bulky platypus-bill chrome looking shoes that scream, look at me! If I had not lost my receipt, would have returned. That would have been a shame, because after finally getting my nerve up to wear to work, I was sold on them. Even though they are not the usual Deep foamy cushiony kind of soft shoe I seek out for my 12-hour shifts, these clodhoppers are the most amazingly comfortable brogans I ever had. My feet don't hurt after being on them all day in these. I am going to try the less flashy, lower-to-the-ground version too (the Alegria that looks more like a Mary-Jane) next.

Very comfortable shoe that requres no break-in period. I wear 8.5 and had to exchange size 38 for a 39. Zappos is a very customer-friendly site and the free shipping both ways is a real bonus.

I really wanted a pair of these, but after trying three different colors of the Classic I've decided to give up for several reasons. I'm not fond of patent leather, and the shoes (even the fabric style) each contain some of this shiny leather. I have wide feet, and because of the construction of the Classic, my feet looked wider than ever. There's a lip that runs around the whole toe box which adds to the width of the shoe. These are so comfortable though, with great arch support, so I can understand why they're popular with nurses. I also thought they ran a bit warm -- even sitting in them at home I had to kick them off occasionally to let my feet cool off. A really unique, comfortable clog for someone, just not me!

Not bad for wide feet, nice innersole, did not rub on side of foot; bought a size wider due to other reviews, 38 was fine for my normally 7-1/2 wide size foot, with bunion and arthritis issues. But sending them back: red patent is too bright for an adult - worst looking color I have ever seen (sorry!). Looks like a kid would wear them. Way too bright! When they said "patent" they sure meant it!

The foot bed felt great, but the sides extended too far back and cut into my ankle. I wear a 7-7.5 shoe, and ordered 37 based on other reviews which said it ran big. I think a 38 would have been better. My foot just fit into this with no socks, and no extra room at the heel.

At first I loved them. Then I wore them to work. As the day went on I had tears in my eyes because my bunion was rubbing. Then my feet were aching from the curve at the toe area. I am really dissatisfied with these especially after reading all of the five star reviews and people with foot problems. I also tried my expensive insoles and Dr Scholls insoles. I really wish that I could get my money back.

Slightly tight across the ball of my foot with socks, but fine/excellent without socks and I'm sure they'll stretch enough. They're so comfortable in all other ways, and it's really fun to look down at my feet and see this bright purple color. I get compliments on them, too.

Love these shoes! They are comfortable and easy to stay on. Sometimes with a mule I feel a struggle to keep them on my foot, I think because I have very high arches. I cannot do heels or even clogs anymore as my Achilles tendon is too sensitive. These shoes are a perfect level of style and comfort!

Love these! They are like a hug for my feet, and very secure to walk in. Excellent arch support. My only wish is that they had a less clunky toe and make my feet look really big, so I don't wear them out. However, I wear them all day at home.

These are terrific, albeit a tad long. Bought another color/size, put email on list for first choice if it comes back in. I have the Alegria tennis shoe and slide sandal, both of which I love and wear standing all day at work.

I own 17 pairs of Alegria shoes. I have purchased them for many years, as a nurse on my feet all day, and now as a retired 70 year old woman who works in the garden all day and takes long walks. The Classic and Paloma work best on my flat feet with a bunion and a chronic “pinch callus”. These are the only shoes I can wear comfortably, especially after 2 spinal surgeries. This Classic with the Croco coloring of mostly black with navy blue is perfect as I wear mostly blue and black jeans. I made a promise to myself to not wear this new pair in the garden and to keep them only for going into town. (I live in the boondocks). The comfort and cuteness of these shoes is unparalleled! I do size down one size on the Classic, compared to the Paloma.) Thank you Alegria and Zappos.

I love the style, but the shoes ran narrow. I wear a medium width, ordered a wide. The fit is too tight.

The color, Croco, is why I choose them - they are black with a slight tint of blue which makes them look good with navy as well! I have been wearing Alegrias for years. Really like the Classic style. Also a plus is that insoles are available which I have used. Makes the shoes feel new again. Excellent service and well packaged. Zappos does it right!

Love my alegria shoes! Im usually a 7.5 i read another review that said to size up so i got an 8, they fit great perfect amount of room and arch support is amazing. Just what i needed since i have a flat foot. Highly recommend very cute as well!

They look blue in some light Looks black at home ! Looks like I did receive the right pair Love them

So, why did I buy Alegria in the first place? I was a patient in the hospital, and many of the nurses were wearing them. I'm a teacher. I'm on my feet a lot (not as much as a nurse), so I decided to try them. They are comfy. I have wide feet and high arches. These shoes are great!

Love these shoes. wish there was a little more arch support but you can have everything and yes i would buy these shoes again.

I ordered the size 41 (I wear a 10 1/2 in U.S. sizes, which pretty much doesn't exist), and they fit beautifully. Love the arch support, and the comfortable fit of the vamp. They are also accommodating of the bunion on my right foot, without feeling loose on the left (which doesn't have any issues). I work full-time at a high school and part time in retail, and right out of the box they were comfortable enough to work both jobs in one day.

Very comfy, stylish. I love the pattern.

I hesitated to order these shoes because of the price, but I’m so glad I did. They are beautiful and well made and will last for years. I ordered my usual size and initially found them to be snug, but after I adjusted the buckle and wore them around a bit, they feel just right. If you intend to wear them with thick socks, I recommend going up a size.

Super comfortable. This sytle of Alegrias fit perfect, whereas the other styles are very difficult to get the right fit.

Runs small. I am normal between a 10.5 and 11 so I thought size 41 would be fine for me. It was a tad too small. I ended up exchanging for a 42. These are definitely not a fashion statement but I’m a nurse who has to stand 10-12 hours a day with a lead vest on. These are the BEST shoes I have found. So much better than Danskos... I don’t think I will ever go back to any other kind of shoe. I might still wear my Birkenstocks once and awhile, but these have ZERO break in period which is amazing. I will definitely be buying more pairs and probably try other styles!

Beautiful different which I like, could be just a bit narrow from the front but overall love them
