Customer Reviews Alegria Debra Professional

I'm a doctor, and I bought these to replace my work clogs, after a coworker broke her ankle in hers. I've worn that style of shoe for well over a decade. The nurses at my hospital all wear Alegria, so I thought I'd try them. I typically wear a 40 in every brand. I bought those first and they were too big. I replaced them with 39 and they fit perfectly. Fitted, but a tiny amount of space to accommodate socks of slightly different thickness. Super comfortable, great support, feels much safer on steps and in emergencies. The platform doesn't feels as tall as it looks in pictures. My feet don't get too hot. No more rolling ankles or tripping on invisible obstacles!

I bought mine at an Alegria store. The insole in removable and comes in 3 thicknesses to allow for size adjustment. They should be replaced about every 4 months, depending on the wear. I love these shoes. I am a teacher and am on my feet on hard tile all day. These are the only shoes that I have gotten that help prevent foot and back pain. I have 2 pair of the Debra and 2 pair of sandals.

I love this shoe, money well spent. I have degenerative disc disease, no problems working 12 hour shifts. Feet are happy all day. Thank you for this amazing product.

I'm always in heels and wanted a shoe that would be comfortable for those days that I am around the office. They turned out to be very comfortable and soothing to those areas of my feet that have been destroyed by wearing high heels my whole life! Perfect choice, I just need to wear them more!

Spent the week walking around Paris in these shoes. They are great for standing in lines and totally unique. My foot is wide through the ball of the foot and these shoes are generous. The leather lining is very comfortable.

Love these shoes! I'm a nurse and on my feet all day and my feet feel great. Zappos is a great place to order.

I LOVE these shoes. I usually wear a 10.5-11, and purchased a 10.5 because of the reviews stating this shoe was a full size larger. The shoe fit perfectly! It does come off the heel a bit, but these are not intended to be snug. I did deduct 1 point for comfort, but only because my feet tend to swell by the end of a 12-hour shift. The shoes tend to feel a bit snug across the top by the end of my long night. Overall, great shoe. Love the insoles!

These are so cute and so comfortable. They have great arch support and a totally natural foot angle. Considering how thick the sole is, they are super lightweight. Unlike some of their other styles, if you need a wide, buy a wide.

I wanted to love this shoe as a softer alternative to my Sanitas, but alas the to of the shoe is MUCH too small to accommodate a high arch. Even in a half size up I cannot get my foot in.

Love these shoes! I wear them for work. I need a non slip shoe these are great. I tried Dansko shoes they hurt my feet. I also have planters fascitis These shoes are a blessing! I am able to tackle my 8 hour shifts on my feet with no problems! Thank You Alegria!

Great comfort for 12 hour nursing shifts. Did take 2-3 days to break in unlike my Alegria clogs. Annoyingly, they do still squeak when walking the halls. I had thought this would go away once broken in, but it hasn't. My patients know when I'm coming. Colors are bright and vibrant. Received tons of compliments.

I bought from Zappos because my friend could return them or exchange them. Turns out the sizing was perfect (How did she get my size so perfectly? I spoke with her daughter. Easy.) and she loved the pattern which she could also wear to work. No return necessary.

Bought for daughter for Christmas. She has problems with her feet and this is her second pair of Alegrias. In her job she is on her feet a lot and these shoes make her days more comfortable!

Good looking- aren't they ? They work with pants and skirts - they work in the day and at night - and wearing them doesn't feel like work at all! I love my new Alegria Debra Professionals!

Love these shoes. Took a bit to get used to. Felt tight at first, loosened up a bit and I had been used to wearing Dansko's, which are loose. My feet don't hurt anymore.

Best shoe when you really need support and are on your feet extended periods of time. I love how balanced my weight feels in this shoe. I have tried Dansko and Nurse Mates - both if those shoe have a bit of a heel and with my weak ankles I felt very unsteady - also those two made me feel like my weight was always on the ball of my foot. The Debra Alegria is a sturdy shoe with complete balance. I am an RN and I feel safe in this shoe and my feet feel great at the end of a 12 hour shift. I found this shoe to run small so I had to go with the size above my normal. On another note I've also had multiple surgeries on my feet for bunions so I really need a good shoe - this shoe is really one of the best I own! I also love Zappos for helping me purchase this shoe at a competitive price and super fast shipping.

I love these shoes! These are the only shoes that I can wear all stay and have no problem with my arches. I love the rolling feel of my step when I have these on. I will be ordering another pair soon.

I love this shoe. If you stand on your feet all day, this is the shoe for you. As with most slip on shoes of this kind it did take some getting used to as the back slips a little. I get many compliments on the pattern, I always respond Alegria has about 10 different styles and 50 different colors and patterns to choose from and you can find them at Zappos.com. This shoe is too cute!

My shoes after a few months of wearing them have begun to squeak when I walk and it is the most annoying thing ever. But they look cute.

I had been looking for navy clogs and these fit the bill perfectly. My true size is 10.5 N/M and I ordered size 41. they fit perfectly. My only concern is that the edge at the top of the shoe is sharp against the top of my foot. However, the more I wear it the softer it becomes. I recommend thick socks to break them in. Overall it is a great shoe and very soft underfoot. I would order it again.

I have a very difficult time finding shoes as I had my ankle fused a few years ago and really need a rocker type shoes to help me go forward. WOW these are amazing. My right foot is fairly wide also and these just slid on my feet.

I love these shoes. I got them for work (12 hour NOC shift). I haven't had arch pain, foot pain, or much low back pain since I got them. I can also run in them if need be, unlike other shoes I have tried. I get tons of compliments on the looks as well. I always proudly tell them the brand. I have the black emboss rose, which is very subtle in the pattern. I am actually surprised at the amount of compliments because they look all black unless you look more closely. I am usually either a 6.5 or 7 depending on the shoe. The 37 was huge on me. I returned them (Thanks, Zappos) and got the 36. At first they were snug, but now they are all nice and broken in. They do tend to slide a little off my heel now, but I've had no issues with friction blisters or pain. My only complaint is I am already a little tall, and these shoes add at least an inch in height. It makes it kind of hard when working with shorter coworkers and finding a happy medium for bed height to save my back. I will definitely be buying another pair.

I really wanted to love these shoes, but I had to return them because even though they felt right in length, there was a lot of room on the top of my foot. I wanted to be able to wear them without socks or with thin socks, but I think that with my narrow/mostly medium width foot, that would have been impossible without the shoes slipping off the backs of my heels.
