These are my new favorite shoes. I now have 3 pairs in funky patterns. I am a librarian that needs comfort without looking stereotypical.

This shoe was almost a full size larger than the other Alegria shoe I purchased! Really like the shoe - great for bunion- but going for 38 instead!

I bought these shoes to replace an old pair of LL Bean ones I had. These are awesome. I am on my feet all day long and feel great walking in these. Would definitely suggest them.

I work in a hospital on hard floors and these were comfortable all day, right out of the box. My feet have found their happy place. Cushy, arch support, and comfy. As always, Zappos provided excellent and very speedy service.

I love these shoes! Wore all day the first day. Slight tightness over top of my bigger foot, but by next day seemed to have stretched out and was comfortable. Easy to walk in and feel much more stable than Danskos. My feet feel great even at the end of a long day.

After I broke these in for about a week, they became a favorite shoe for running errands all day. I have a wider foot, and once they loosened up across the top of my foot they fit perfectly. I feel like these shoes will last me for many years!

Both shoes arrived with the top, toe section scuffed! Very Poor Quality Control, disappointed and sent back immediately. Shame on you Zappos. :( Going to give shoes.com a try!

Very comfortable. Alegria has the best rocker sole--washes away the knee limp. Wide toe box is necessary for me, or I get ulcers. only returning to get the Alli style instead--I like the buckles with jeans. The Debra seems about 1/2 size larger than the usual Alegria 39 I get.

This is my new favorite shoe. My first pair of Alegria shoes, but definitely not my last. I was planning to order a pair of Danskos, and these popped up. I ordered them after reading some positive reviews. Since I'm recovering from ankle surgery, I need to select my shoes carefully. I wear Superfeet (dress shoe inserts) for additional support. These are supportive and comfortable and more attractive looking than a lot of other shoes in this class.

The Debra Professional provides superb support and comfort, except for the problem I note below; and the embossed leather lends a classy and unusual touch -- not just any old shoe. But a caution to you if you usually wear size 7.5, as I do. My big toe presses slightly against the inflexible toe box of size 37 to the extent that it can leave a sore toe; 37W is too wide in the heel (flops as I walk) and size 38 is far too big -- too loose all over, especially the heel. I wish there were a real size 7.5. A word about Zappos: how can you beat the two day delivery and the freedom to order different sizes or styles for to try and compare,knowing how easy it is to return the ones that aren't right. I much prefer shopping Zappos than to traipse through a shopping center trying on shoes at shops and department stores.

I am normally a 7.5 to 8. I ordered the 38 and it was too big. I am going to exchange for the 37 and hope it's not too small.

Zappos has the best customer service and return policy. They are always friendly. Purchases and returns are quick and easy. The Debra Alegria professional is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn for work. My feet are not soar after working and I don't feel fatigued. Thank you.

I am am a nurse and am on my feet a minimum of 12 hours a day. I have tried tennis shoes, Danskos, etc. but I keep going back to Alegria. They are by far the most comfortable shoes for me. Tried and true, I will not stray again.

When first putting them on, I was a little worried, The arch was hitting me in the wrong place. I wore them a couple of times, at home, for an hour or two each, now they are great. I am on my feet at work12 hours a day. So far, I am now a huge advocate of these shoes. Now I get to see how long they last.

I purchased them for my sister. One of the best birthday gifts I gave her. She loved them, took them out of the box and keep them on all night while we were celebrating her birthday! They are comfortable and easy to wear!

These are my new favorites. I used to only wear Danskos, but my coworkers recommended these. I found the insole to be super soft and comfortable and they required no break in time. I recommend them for anyone on their feet all day.

I love Alegrias. They are so personable... get the colors you love - there are so many. These Debra Prof. are so comfortable. I love the rocker type toe because it helps you walk almost effortless. I can were them all day without any fatigue. The wide styled toe box is a comfort blessing in disguise. These shoes are NOT "frumpy orthopedics" They are quite stylish and hip. The Mary Jane styles are just as great. I love the thick soles.

I love these shoes! Was wearing Dansko's, but due to a twisted ankle injury, they started to hurt my feet. Walked in the Alegria's one day and can already tell they'll be my go-to shoes. Can't wait to get more colors. And the Zappos customer service team provided probably the best service I have ever received. I wish other stores would take customer service lessons from Zappos, they could learn a few things.

I originally bought a size seven, which for in the heel perfectly, but was not tall enough for my toes. This shoe is wide around the toes,but pinches down on them height-wise. Even in the wrong size the arch support was awesome though, so I sized up. As expected the 8 is loose on my heel,but foods the rest of my foot well, so with a small insert these are perfect. Now I can stand around at the counter all day without my back and feet aching horribly.

I wear an 11W. These shoes are way too big. Much heel comes out every time I walk - like flip-flops. I am going to return for either a 10W or 10½W.

I love these shoes! They are really comfortable, fit true to size and I swear they help me walk faster. I am on my feet over eight hours and my feet and legs never hurt. My only little complaint is they squeak so it is hard to quietly enter a patient's room.

I had purchased so many different name brand tennis shoes and continued having achy feet, sore knees, back and even hips. I am a nurse's aide and on my feet some days for 12 hours. Well, I purchased the Debra Prof. And I have not ever had a more comfortable pair of shoes. They provide great support and I no longer suffer all the aches that I once had. If you have knee pain these are the shoes for you. I got the buttercup pattern and everyday I get compliments on how nice my shoes are.
