Customer Reviews Alegria Debra Professional

This is my first pair of Alegria shoes. I have only worn them for a little over a week now. I have to say so far, so good. I love the feel of the memory foam. My feet feel pretty good after a 10 hour shift where I'm on my feet most of the time.

Love my new shoes. It was a challenge to dedice if I needed to order wide. Normally I would, but there are only three solid colors available in the wide. (Like bra's for larger chests) I ordered the fancy colors I wanted and they fit snug but comfortably.

These shoes are great. They hardly need breaking in because of the soft inner sole. I have a wide foot but still ordered the regular width and my toes have plenty of room. I read where they run big so I went Down a size from what I normally wear In Dansko's. I've had them two weeks and they've started making a noise when I walk. It sort of a leather against leather sound, rubbing sound. I will have to see if I can tolerate this but for now they are comfortable. I wear them at work and I'm on my feet for 10-12 hrs. Nice arch support, very nice! Zappos great service, the shoes came in a matter of a day!

This was my first experience with Zappos and it was indeed one that I will repeat. The representative to whom I spoke was courteous, informative and most efficient. I love my purchase and will be back for more.

Love the shoes. My only complaint is that i am normally an 8.5 and read that these tan small so I ordered half a size up, they feel great, the only thing is that they slip a little at the heel but if I sized down then they would be too small. I just wear thick socks :)

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

The shoe was a medium width and too roomy including my heel slipping when trying them out walking. The front toe curve left out room for the toes to stretch forward when walking and touched the tip of the shoe. Not good when standing and walking for many hours.

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.

When I first put the shoes on they felt uncomfortable, it was small and short in the toe box, and esp. felt it in the right foot. I can't tell if it's the make of the shoe. I like the shoe overall, but ended up returning both sizes because of the discomfort in the toe box. I am willing to order another pair in wide to see if it fits better. The overall shoe fits true to size, just not a good cut in the toe box area of the shoe. The heel of the shoe is a little loose, but not too noticeable like with the Dansko clogs. I was looking forward to wearing the shoes, but disappointed it wasn't as comfortable as I thought.

I'm a public school teacher. I'm on my feet about 90% of my day. These shoes are super comfortable! They look great. My feet feel great at the end of the day. My problem with these beautiful shoes are that they squeak. They started squeaking after the first week of wearing them. (so I couldn't return them) I was so disappointed. I still wear them- and my middle school students make fun of me. (We all laugh.) This brand has lots of other fun shoes that I'd love to buy- but I won't. Because I don't want to squeak everywhere I go.

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 absolutely love the looks of these shoes. I first ordered the 8-8½ size but the heel was very sloppy. I reordered the 7-7½ and found that the right foot fit great and the left foot is tight across the arch. I thought if I wore them around the house they would relax but they did not. I hated to return them.

These were comfortable right out of the box! No break in needed. I wear these to work, and I get a lot of compliments.

These are, hands down, the most comfortable professional shoes on the market, and I have tried several. However, this particular pair proved difficult to get the right fit. I had to order 3 pair to finally get the right size and finally ended up with the size in the middle, and I will still have to use moleskin on the heel to keep them from slipping. Nonetheless, I still love them - the best support ever.

The folks at Zappos were great about helping me find the right style and right size shoe. After a bad experience on vacation with narrow toe box shoes, I looked for a shoe with a wide toe box. Danskos don't accommodate my high instep, but this style of Alegria does. If you have this problem, make sure you look for a shoe with a flat band across the top of the foot. I tried another style in size 10, too small, size 11, too big. This style in 10.5 US is nearly perfect. I just ordered a pad to go on the heel of one shoe which is slightly too large. The shoes do appear a bit boxy, but that's the price of having a comfy toe box. I love that Alegria has so many styles and colors. I hope I've found shoes for life. Thank you, Zappos.

These shoes fell apart, I am a nurse and work a lot of hours on my feet, I purchased these in November and they are falling apart already!
