Customer Reviews Alegria Paloma

I I like this shoe and have another pair. I just didn't like this color option. The one I originally wanted was out of stock in my size.

I have worn ariat shoes for years-lately on long days of being on my feet i found that my legs felt heavy and my feet hurt which is not something I've had a problem with in the past. I have a pair of paloma alegria shoes that I have worn periodically and noted that between the natural walking motion the shoe provides and the comfort of it that my feet do not bother me when I wear them. I have also noticed less leg fatigue. I will certainly purchase at least one more color to complement my brown and now black pair!

Love this little shoe. I take a wide and so thos is perfect...can't wait for the fall to come to start wearing it.

They fit perfectly. And I love the soft footed. They have helped align my feet, ankles, knees, and back. I can actually walk instead of limping and wincing.

These are incredibly comfortable right out of the box. My foot feels secure and supported. I wear a 7 1/2 and the 38 fits well. I got the gothic steel color which is a silvery blue design on black. I tried them on with a thin to medium ankle sock and they fit perfectly.

This is my 3rd pair like this. I really like the way they fit and they give me very good arch support.

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable

I typically wear an 11.5, the 11 is too small, so I sized up to a 12 in these. They were a little big but I wear thick socks, so the fit was perfect. My foot is narrower and I am able to adjust the strap on this style to get a great fit. Love the sparkle on the Ice Blooms. Fun to wear with jeans. Wore them all day at the mall and my feet didn’t hurt at all. I have a hard time finding shoes that don’t hurt my feet or pinch my toes. I love these shoes!

Love it

I had a Lisfranc fracture and dislocation, a surgery to put hardware in, and another surgery to remove it 18 months later. This shoe is the only one I can wear all day and not have much pain at all by the end. It's amazing! The sole is very supportive (not too flexible), the rocker motion helps, and the footbed is super comfy and also provides good arch support.

These are first (certainly not my last , Alegria). I absolutely love the Paloma! I'm so happy I could get the "Frond of You" design; it's even more gorgeousin person than the website showed. I have a serious problem with edema (swelling) due to a DVT several years ago, so even with the Wide Option, I needed to get a slightly larger size than usual. My left foot swells, so I had to go with the larger size, even though my right foot could have done with my usual size. This is where wonderful little shoe accessories come in. "Heel grips" ( try suede covered ones) and/or "halters" (keep the foot from sliding forward) solve any problems with the shoes slipping in a larger-than-usual size. Thank you, Zappos, for making the exchange not only painless, but pleasant!!

These shoes are perfect, giving me enough arch support to help with my plantar fasciitis, yet not enough to give me callouses on my non-existent arches. They are lightweight and appeal to my preference for funky shoes.

I have super-high arches and my foot problems keep getting worse as I head into my mid-forties. Danskos used to work for me, and then they started making them differently, and now they don't. I already had one pair of Alegrias (I think the "Debra Professional") that kind of worked for me, but kind of didn't. But I had weeks of summer travel with lots of walking ahead of me, and I was desperate so I ordered these. And these work -- I think they work better than the Debras because my foot can move around a bit more in them, whereas the Debra has a much tighter toe-box that holds my foot in the wrong place on the insole. I'm crazy relieved that they work. They worked straight out of the box. They are super-clunky but the metallic finish holds up nicely and gives it a funky-clunky vibe, instead of just granny-shoe vibe. So -- if you have a lot of issues because of high arches, if Danskos have been failing you -- these might do the trick. Give them a try. I'm just relieved to have found SOMETHING that works.

I have small feet, so they didn’t look too much like clown shoes. They were very comfortable.

I am a BIG Alegria fan, and I have multiple pairs of Palomas in various colors. I wish I had a job where I could wear them to work, but in a hospital there is too much risk of splashing on the tops of the feet to wear a Mary Jane. (I wear the Alegria Debra or Keli shoes for work.) As with all my Alegrias, I love the comfort of the Palomas, and the fact that the insoles can be replaced to prolong the life of the shoes. The rocker bottom is so comfortable for walking, and the insoles feel great as they conform to your feet. Another great thing about Alegrias is that there is no break-in time required--they feel fabulous from the first wearing. If they don't, you have the wrong size! I also love the different cute buttons/faux buckles that come with each. There is plenty of room in the toe box, too. As much as I love Alegrias for their comfort, they do look a little orthopedic, but at this point in my life I'm more concerned about comfort than appearances. Their beautiful colors and funky designs help to offset their lack of style, in my opinion. If you have problem feet or just want a very comfortable shoe, you can't go wrong with Alegrias!

Tried both wide and average width, average fit; wasn't sure because in some athletic shoes a wide was needed. These appear true to size.

I have very very wide feet. They are more narrow in the heel but I need an extremely wide toe box. These were so comfortable!! They fit beautifully!! I have a new favorite brand of shoe!

I work with kids, and they love my shoes. I wear the "wild" ones! These are the only shoes I wear. They are SO Much more comfortable than Danskos! I just bought 2 more pairs --- and I will keep adding them to my "shoe wardrobe".

This is my very first pair of Alegrias. I'm suffering from plantar fasciitis and did a bunch of research on shoes that could help, but also look cute. Came across these and wanted to give them a try! I ordered Raked Leaves. When they came in and I first tried them on, I was slightly disappointed because I didn't feel the "pillow-like" cushion. Many reviewers said there was no "break-in" time at all, but I personally found after wearing them for 3-4 days they because much more comfortable. I've only had them for a week, but I'm thrilled my feet are no longer KILLING me by the end of the day like they used to. I found these to be true to size, I purchased size 39. Getting lost of compliments and I went on to purchase the Vikki style for weekend wear. :) Thanks, Alegria!

I absolutely love these shoes. Very quality craftsmanship. They are so comfortable. I didn't have that typical time it takes to break shoes in. I just put them on and they were perfect.

love the design and the fit. right out of the box and I was walking on air.

Cute and comfy! I have been looking for something cute with a lot of padding in the footbed. I bought the iridescent blue-green. Wore them all day today. Very comfortable, and I smiled every time I looked down at them. Could be a little narrower in the heel, but overall a nice find.

This is my third pair of Palomas. I know everyone's feet are different but in my case, this style fits right out of the box. I literally forget that I'm wearing them. The all-day comfort is amazing. It's great that they come in so many colors and patterns. They are more stylish on my feet than they look in the photos of the shoes, too, though I usually just wear them with pants, not skirts.

Love the shoe so comfortable but sad because about a month after purchase one of the leafs have fallen off...
