Customer Reviews Alegria Debra Professional

Love the pattern. Love the fit of the shoes. Hate that the pattern has started wearing off already. This really disappoints me. When I contacted Algeria, they said this is normal despite having only worn them six times before the pattern started wearing off.

I normally wear a 6.5 (36) in most shoes but I went up to next 37 because I like to wear thick socks and have the shoe fit like a clog. My heel moves out of the shoe a bit when I walk, but they are comfortable all day on my feet. I have a pair like these in white that I've had over a year.

Out of the box, these shoes are great. I haven't worn them a whole day yet, but am looking forward to it. I have big, wide feet and arthritic toes, and these feel really good just wearing around the house so far. Stay tuned.

Disappointed in this shoe. It does not have good support or a removable footbed. It also is not very comfortable. Expected more for the money from this brand.

The foot bed of this shoe is extremely supportive and comfortable. I have an extremely high arch and usually have to wear custom made orthopedics daily, but the arch on this shoe actually touched my natural arch. I am usually a 38, but this one felt too big. I will be trying a different Alegria shoe as the foot bed felt great. Unfortunately, it was kind of ugly on, but that's my personal opinion.

I researched shoes for a while and ended up choosing these. I used to wear Nikes at work and my feet hit so bad after a 12 hour shift as a nurse, so I ordered these because I read such great reviews! I love them, the first time I wore them I had to get used to them because I was used to wearing laced up shoes, but after the first few weeks I am in love and couldn't be happier! I normally wear an 11 in tennis shoes and sandals but I ordered a 10.5 because the shoes need to fit snug to stay on while walking but there is plenty of room in the toes. I got the 11 and they were too big so I returned them and got the size down. Love them and I get compliments all the time at work and I tell people how great they are!

I usually wear a 9-9½, but I got these item in a 40 and they fit perfectly. They do slide slightly in the back but I am told that that is normal. I wore these shoes straight out of the box for a 13 hour nursing shift and they felt great! That was the first time in awhile that my feet did not ache when I got off work. I will definitely want more colors! I would definitely advise going up half a size on these.

I love Alegria shoes. The most comfortable I have ever had and I always buy expensive shoes because my feet are particular. This model the Debra just does not fit. It is tight across the top of my foot and the heel slips badly. I am going to reorder a different model of Alegria because this brand is so amazing. The other pairs I have are just amazing. And their styles are so fun!

I work 50 hours a week on my feet, I can't count how many shoes I've tried in the last 28 years at my job. Alegria shoes are a dream for my feet & back! I plan to buy nothing but Alegria shoes in the future!

Very comfortable. Ran a little big though. i tried smaller size but it was too tight. I'm going to stick with this one. I really like Alegria shoes.

Originally bought a size 39, and it was too small so I sent them back and got the 40 and I was swimming in them. Ordered the pair of 39's again and a shoe tree to slightly stretch them out. When I got the 39's again, one of the arches in the insole was effective and misplaced so I gave up. I kept them anyway, hoping to break them in, but you would have to be a true masochist to ever get these shoes broken in. They sat in my closet for a year with shoe trees in them both and it didn't stretch them at all. I'm a waitress and I can't kill myself to break in a shoe. Ain't nobody got time for that!

Since I have worn Algeria for 6 years, I thought I'd buy a different style for nursing school. I've worn the ones without a backing since they fit is great. I ordered these in hopes that they would fit me, however the size was just a tad bit too large so my heel would slip out of the back. I really wanted to like this style and I needed it, and unfortunately there isn't a smaller size for me to purchase...

I'm a chef who is on her feet for long periods of time. These are the most comfortable shoes I have found to wear in the kitchen. I am considering ordering another pair to wear on my days off. I will order them a size larger because these feel a bit tight. I ordered them in the Paisley and they are very cute.

I'm a chef and on my feet for long hours at a time. These are my favorite shoes to wear to work. I love them so much I'm going to buy another pair for my days off. They are comfortable right out-of-the-box. I did find that they run just a bit too small so I will be ordering up a size larger the next time. I plan to buy more in the spring in different styles. I have several foot problems and the arch support in this shoe are great.

I have had excruciating heel pain in my feet. I had been going to a bone and joint doctor and at first found I had heel bursitis. Once he stopped that and gave me inserts, then the other side starting hurting all the time when I stood up. I had tried numerous tennis shoes and thinking about a hard sole shoe was out of the question. I did research and thanks to all of the reviews on here I was convinced. I ordered the Debra Alegria and Man! What a relief I got. I usually wear an 8.5 in dress shoe and 9 in athletic shoe. The first ones I ordered were 8-8.5 and they were more like an 8. I chatted with the lady online the evening I got them and set up an exchange and she sent me another pair of 9-9.5 and lo and behold when the UPS came to pick them up at my business the next day the driver handed me the new pair. I was shocked at how fast the exchange was made. She told me she would not charge me unless 14 days passed and the first pair had not made it back to them. I was skeptical about ordering without trying on but not any more with Zappos. I am truly pleased and there is no foot pain yet and I have worn them for 2 days. Never have I experienced such a comfortable pair of shoes. The heels are a little loose but not enough to bother me at all. I plan on buying more styles from this site.

These shoes are hard and small. They were not cushioned like they look. Also, they just felt wrong on my feet. Returning.

Very disappointed. I tried a friend's shoe one size larger and regular width and my size in Wide would not even go past my instep. Something is not right. I have to return. It is supposed to be a great shoe so I am not compromising the quality.

This clog feels great, accommodates my orthotic and is helping my plantar fasciitis. The color is also surprisingly neutral.

Not the prettiest of shoes, but definitely one of the most comfortable. It has great arch support (I imagine it would be uncomfortable for flat feet because of that, but it's great for mine!). I'm so grateful that Alegria makes and Zappos sells the 5.5 W size. It's nearly impossible for me to get comfortable shoes, and these fit the bill.

I work 12 hours days and I am consistently on my feet. I have bought various tennis shoes and clogs and found most hurt my feet more than helped. I was skeptical at first buying these shoes because of the cost but I went in looking at it as an investment. These shoes are amazing! I am in love with these shoes! The arch support if phenomenal! The shoes fit snug but it feels like they were custom made for my feet! I would recommend these shoes to everyone!

I love the 9.5 out of 10. I was very pleased with the look as soon as I opened the box, I tried them on and realized that the left shoe felt just a bit bigger, with a pair of really thick socks they feel better. I would recommend them to a friend/coworker. Next time I will have to order size 4 which selection is almost nonexistent in Alegria.

I was hesitant to try these after spending about the same on a pair of Danskos in nursing school, only to hate them because they made my legs ache after every clinical. But after working for several months in sneakers and giving myself plantar fasciitis, I bought these based on the arch support (I have higher arches). After the first shift in these, I felt an immediate difference. My feet are very happy during my entire 10.5 hour shifts. I find this brand lighter than Danskos and my legs do not ache, not even after four shifts in a row. I wear a size 9&1/2, but bought a 10 (40) because of my feet swelling from being on them so long. They fit perfectly with my thicker Sockwell compression socks. I'm in love with these shoes for my feet.

I love these shoes. Simple design & quality materials. My only problem was that I have a very high instep & shoe was a little too tight. But is stretching just enough with wear.
