Customer Reviews Alegria Paloma

Okay - I have never written a review for anything, but these shoes are wonderful. I have really messed up feet - bouts of plantar interosseous muscle strains, heel spurs, metatarsalgia, and recently I developed bursitis in the balls of both feet. These are the only shoes I have been able to wear without having to wear any additional metatarsal pads, Kinesio Tape, etc. as well. Arch support is great, toes can splay, the rocker feature is wonderful as well - I can even use these to actually go out and walk a few miles in! I wish Alegria made running shoes for when I am cleared to start running again! Just be aware that the different styles fit differently. This is the only style I can wear at the moment, so although I am sad that I am so limited in that aspect, I am still grateful to not be hobbling around in pain anymore. Dialing in the proper sizing can be tricky, especially since the different styles fit differently, but with Zappos' return/exchange policy, it's totally hassle free to find your perfect size!

I love these shoes! I got my first pair of Alegria Paloma shoes on May 1, 2014. I've worn them almost every day since then, and on numerous trips. I just got this style of Paloma and they fit the minute I put them on. I struck out with Dayna - they were too narrow for me, even in Wide. Belle was also too narrow in Regular. Zappos is so easy to use. You may have to try a few pairs to get the shoe you love, but Zappos makes it easy, and Alegria's are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! And they give so much support!

The shoes are great and I also wanted give kudos to Zappos because they have a phenomenal customer service department especially Lawrence. You have a customer for life and I'm telling all my friends! Thank you Lawrence & Zappos!

The color is fabulous.Comfortable? Oh yes, but the shoe itself kind of makes me look like I have duck feet! I just couldn't do it. When I asked my husband for his opinion, he said, um... no. I had to return them. For the cost they have to be cute AND comfortable.

I am loving these shoes. I have such a hard time finding shoes that fit because my feet seem to be an in between size. I also have very high arches which causes another problem when trying to find shoes. These have decent arch support. I ordered many shoes from Zappos (love their shipping policy) and these shoes fit the bill. I tried to wear Dansko shoes again, but their sizes really don't fit my feet so all of them went back. It was on my second Zappos order that I came across these shoes. They are comfortable and cute looking. I have worn them with dresses and pants. I am a kindergarten teacher and am on my feet all day. I got these in the mail last week, and wore them to work every single day this week. Great shoe and I will be searching this brand for more shoe choices.

Ordered 3 different styles, wish I had the budget to keep all three! It was a hard decision...love these shoes, can't wait to order my next pair! This will be my go to brand from this point forward.

Very comfortable and light shoes. I returned size 38 for 39. Go up a size.

I purchased these because of the constant foot and leg pain from standing and walking 6 straight hours. I had already purchased 2 pairs of Dansko and 1 pair of SAS and had to return because they hurt my feet so bad. First day of wearing these the pain was alot less the second day I had no pain at all.. The best shoe I have ever worn in 40 years of standing and walking for my job.

I really liked these shoes, however I am an 8 1/2 and these fit like an 8. My toes were bunched up, so I sent them back. The width was great, I ordered wide.

If not for this brand of shoes I would not be able to walk without horrible pain for sure. I started wearing this brand in 2012 after bring diagnosed with severe hallux rigidous and OA in my right foot. At that time I could not bear weight at all except on the little toe side of my foot. It was miserable for me. I saw 3 Docs and all agreed that I should wear a shoe with a hard sole, preferably a rocker sole. I found these shoes and never looked back. I wear no other brands. The Palomas are my dress shoes but I also wear them with jeans. Sure they look a little funny at first but, trust me, pain relief trumps that. I found that the size 35 fit my previous size 6 foot perfectly.

Oddly cute and really comfortable. On my feet all day and these really help. A little funky, but the design keeps them updated.

I have been wearing these shoes for about 3 years. I am a flight attendant and spend frequent 12-16 hour days on my feet. I also have rheumatoid arthritis, which causes a lot of feet pain for me. The first time I wore these I thought, "I'll just wear them on my first flight of the day," which was about an hour. I didn't take them off for the entire 3 day trip! They are amazing and I am so thankful to have finally found a shoe that doesn't cause me pain. I have 3 pairs stocked up at home, just in case they stop making them. I replace the insole about every 4-6 months. I love these shoes and will often wear them at home and on my layovers too to walk about the cities in. I highly recommend them to anyone with feet pain.

Wonderful shoe for my right foot.my left foot was in pain over my little toe. So sorry because I really wanted these shoes. Looks like I just have weird feet. Will try again later. I love your shoes.

I have been looking forward to trying Alegria shoes. They are such fun colors. However, I was really disappointed when they arrived. The tops felt like plastic and the edges were so sharp that they put cuts in my feet before I even stood up in them. There was very little support inside. They seemed very cheap, especially for the price. They will be going back.

Such a great quality show. Great support and comfort, especially if your are on your feet all day. A little break-in period needed. Shoe needs time to mold to your foot.

So comfortable for long days on my feet, especially after a metatarsal stress fracture. Love that the strap can make them tighter for my thinner feet. Actually get a lot of compliments because of the sparkles.

I noticed one reviewer complaining about a "squeak" -- it eventually happened with my pair, too. A little Vaseline on the bottom and sides of the insert solved the problem. I have very wonky feet/several issues. These are the only shoes I'm able to wear comfortably. Great arch support for my high arches. I will be buying other styles from Alegria -- they are truly a godsend for me.

Wonderful shoes! Fit right out of the box and keeps on going with wonderful comfort. I have RA so I need good arch support or I end up in pain after an hour. These shoes fill the bill. An extra benefit: I keep on getting compliments about how cute they are.

Perfect for my wide feet. I bought the Alegria Paloma in size 35 wide, and they fit perfectly. I wear size 5-6, depending on the brand and shoe molding. Better than the Dansko Professional clogs, which hurt my toes. So comfortable, I forgot I was wearing them!

I love these shoes! They're super cute and comfortable -- nice wide toe box and good support. They also seem pretty durable - I've walked all over Boston in them, and they've held up very nicely.

I am now sold on Alegria -- especially the Paloma. Very comfortable, very true to size. I wear a 10 1/2 and the 41 fits perfectly without socks. Almost a little wide for my feet, but better than being scrunched. I wear to work with pants and skirts and get lots of compliments. The Le Artist is a great versatile color choice -- and I plan on wearing these all summer in North Carolina. I will buy more of this style.

I'm a teacher and have lower back issues. These have totally saved my life! These are the only shoes that feel great on my back after a long day. The replaceable insole is the jam too! It's a perk that they're fun and cute! Ps...I've had several different Allegria strikes and this is the most supportive. The others are great too, but if you have a bad back...these are the way to go.

I got this shoe in the midnight garden patent leather. It is so stinking cute on the foot that whenever I wear them I get numerous favorable comments. It was comfortable right out of the box. I have two total knee replacements and these shoes are easier on my knees than any other shoe I own. I have a short wide foot. Zappos was great about exchanging for me as I initially ordered 36 wide but needed to exchange for 35 wide. I wish they offered more colors in wide widths though. Great arch support.
