Customer Reviews Alegria Classic

I loved them when they came but I underestimated the sizing and ordered them too big! They run bigger than I thought.

Excellent shoe for my 12 hour shifts at hospital. This is my second pair of Alegrias. Great service from Zappos as well. Thanks!

Love these shoes. Perfect fit the minute I put them on. I am so happy you sell them in pairs:).

Most comfortable shoes ever worn. Twelve-hour shifts with back and knee pain, no more. I found myself volunteering to go get supplies for others, just so I could walk in them more. Will definitely buy another pair. Please Zappos, carry the men's shoe - my husband would love a pair.

I ordered a 10.5-11 because I wear between a 10 and 10.5. These shoes are extremely shiny, which I didn't expect. They are also more of a pewter than a black, but that is great because I didn't want really dark, black shoes. They are so comfortable, I've worn them since they arrived yesterday. The tooled leather is a nice touch without looking too frilly - it's a subtle detail. This is my first pair of Alegria and I'm very happy with them. I'm still getting used to their "look". I'm usually a ballet slipper or pointy toe pump girl, but my feet deserve a break and they are really grateful! These aren't "low profile" shoes so I'm sure I'll get asked about them. I'll be smiling when I tell them all about them! Love them - Love Zappos!

These are like walking on soft but supportive pillows. You can walk forever, and even though they are backless, they stay on your foot. They do run large. I purchased one size down. I didn't get these from Zappos but I am so glad they have them.

I usually wear size 10 and tend to buy wide shoes, however, I can wear medium as well. In these shoes, When I tried these shoes on, either I’ve developed bunions on both feet in the exact same place (unlikely) or the toe box actually pinches/narrows at the widest point of my foot and then slightly widens back out again (very likely). I decided to wear them anyway though because they’re super cute and they’ll stretch over time. Unfortunately, about 30 minutes into my stroll around the block (it’s a slow walk with the dog), the top of both feet developed blisters. Since I’m clearly a glutton for punishment, I’m keeping the shoes and will break them in over time. So, if your foot is bordering on wide and you have a high arch, these might not be the most comfortable shoe you’ve ever worn, but they’ll still be the best looking.

Shoes are cute. The 9M was too narrow for my medium wide foot wearing a thin sock. I am happy with the Keli style. Find the shoe right for you!

This is my second pair of Alegria shoes and I really like them! I get so many compliments from patients...everyone seems to like the iridescent design. One of the few brands of shoes I can wear without my feet killing me by the end of the day. My only complaints are (1)The hard heel makes turning your ankle over easy to do on uneven surfaces, and (2)They squeak!

The bottom of the shoe could not be more comfortable! The top is still creating some blisters from rubbing. I think as I break them in, they will get soft and comfortable. I am still a fan.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and severe edema in one of my feet. I was hopeful after hearing reviews that Alegria's ran large that this shoe would work, as I'm down to only two pairs of shoes I can wear now. Sadly, it was not the case. If only Alegria came in a size 43, or an extra-wide width was available in size 42, the shoe would be perfect. I'm going to keep the shoes in hopes that the swelling recedes someday, because they are adorable and quite fun. Please Alegria/Zappos - give us larger sizes!

The shoe is gorgeous in brilliant snake, and would go with almost anything...flashy but not Lady Gaga. I wish they had fit. I even ordered a thinner inner sole, as suggested by another reviewer, sadly to no avail. The toe box is not high on this shoe. It may appear to be since the platform visually makes the shoe look thicker at the toe. I like room in my shoes and hate any rubbing, particularly on the top of the toes. The rocker sole is comfortable and the arch is more than adequate, in my opinion; however, the shoe is either too narrow for me, though I feel it's the entire top of the shoe that is low. The toe, or mary jane flap also can dig into ankle if one's foot is not shaped just right...not major at first, but could be irritating if walking all day. Sadly I can't seem to justify keeping these. Boo hoo...if you have thin feet, from the top down, try them.

I just recieved the Black Snake, and wore them all day shopping. This is a well made, beautifully designed shoe, but not made for my foot which is wide. I had little room to move my toes around, by the time I got home, my toes were so sore, I put them back in the box and will give them to my Mother. I read many reviews all saying how comfortable they were right out of the box, but not for me.

The sizing of these shoes is off. I ordered also 10, which they called a 40. Other companies call a 10 equivalent to a 41 or 42. In any event, these shoes were about a size too small, and I had to return them.

My feet run narrow, and these run a little big on me without socks, I did get several blisters without socks. So I will have to wait until winter to wear them. They are definitely cute though!

I was looking for a wide shoe to wear when my feet are swollen. These aren't quite as wide as I had hoped but are more comfortable than I could have ever dreamed. They are too cute!

Love the comfort of these shoes but if you have narrow feet this style will not work as there is no way to adust a strap to bring it in. Try Saville, it has a strap that will go around the heel or the Carina in a sandal whose strap does come in well.

This is the first pair of Alegria that I purchased. They are very comfortable but I noticed when I walked for quite a while at the flee market my feet felt fatigued, but that maybe due to the fallen arches and PTTD condition I have. I was really glad I had them on when I had to stand in line for over 30 minutes at the airport. I just won't wear them if I have to walk alot. I have received many compliments on them and everyone wants to know where I got them from. I highly recommend them and will order Alegria styles.

Love the look of this shoe, and they keep my sensitive feet comfy. Unfortunately, the platform sole makes it easy for me to roll my ankle, which has happened several times. Total bummer.

You know these aren’t bad shoes but just a bit blocky looking and not the style I was after. They are very comfortable but my second long toe hits the top still. Color was neat sort of iridescent black blue. Just wasn’t in love with them for the price. Reminds me of earth shoes.

Wanted to wear this and love the style and print. These shoes are too narrow for my foot and too low for my high Instep. Could not even get my foot in though I sized up. Ended up ordering a different style Algeria shoe with this same print. The leather on this is very stiff. I’m sure they’re durable if you can put them on and wear them.

These are comfy, light, and cute for casual wear with toe wiggle room. The first pair I ordered had a mis-stamped hole on the right shoe buckle. It made the fit too loose but the next hole was too tight. Ordered another pair but the left arch was almost flat. Kept one from each order. That is not the best quality control on Alegria's part, but Zappos made the experience exceptionally easy! I usually wear a 7 and the 37 fit as recommended. Not sure the patterned leather was a good choice for summer kicks as there will be no way to fix scuffs with shoe polish, but I really like the Cultivate's fun flower pattern.

Have tried several Alegria shoes. When stepping into them they feel so comfortable! However, they always been too loose and adjustments just did not solve that. Tried this style a second time out of desperation because I really need something I can wear. This time around I can snug them up pretty well, but they seen too short in my correct size. I guess I just give up. Zappos has been wonderful!

I wanted to love these. They felt comfortable at first, but I had too many close calls with turning my ankle and will be giving them away. I'm back to Birkenstocks.

I ordered these with high hopes after reading the glowing reports. I wanted so much to like them as I have flat feet and want something with a good arch support. On that count, these shoes were great but style-wise they were just too much shoe for my 4'11" frame. The vamp also came up too high on my foot and hurt. The leather is not very flexible.
