Customer Reviews Alegria Debra Professional

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.

Loved this shoe! However, it was a very tight fit across the top of my foot. I thought about keeping it, and hoping it would stretch into a more comfortable shoe eventually, but decided not to take that risk and I had to go ahead and return it.

These shoes were amazingly comfortable. Or would be if they were correct! One of the shoes I received was a little bit defective - tight in the toe box - but other than that they felt amazing on my flat feet. They look pretty good too. I would've kept them if it weren't for that unfortunate defect.

Of three Alegria styles purchased, I thought these were the most comfortable. Like, step in and say "ah" comfortable. Ultimately I'm sending them back because I went with the Belle which offered a bit more style for summer, but will keep these on my list for fall or winter. I did order the wide width, after reading other reviews. But I felt these were slightly too wide and there was some slippage when worn barefoot and I will probably order the regular width in the future.

These shoes have a weird insole shape. The bump of the arch support goes all the way across, rather than tapering from high at the inside of the foot to low at the outside. I may keep them if I can find some other insoles that fit them, but otherwise they will be going back. I can feel the stress on the bone at the outside of my foot when I step down.

Great shoes, very functional. I bought them to heal a metatarsal stress fracture and they did their job perfectly. It didn't even feel like I was putting pressure on my foot when I walked. My doc said I could wear these every day for 4-6 weeks or he'd put me in a walking boot. I am so glad I went with these. They are way more comfortable. Now these are not that fashionable, but they look better in person than online. If I had a job where I had to stand up or walk the whole day, I would not hesitate to buy these.

These are great shoes, but please don't order a size down because the top part of the shoe fits very snug. If you have wide or chubby feet, please select wide width instead or regular. Other than that the shoe is very stylish and comfy. I work in a hospital and they are perfect!

I have good luck with Alegria. Once I figured out my size, it works with any of their styles. These shoes are all day comfortable and hold up well. They also do not require breaking in - although I try to give them some short runs before a full day of wearing, just to be sure. They provide good arch support.

Love the comfort, but they slip on the heel. The footbed is made of a material that causes socks to bunch up. A slick stocking would probably work, but that's not how I wear them.

This is a great shoe, just like all the Alegrias I've tried so far. My only complaint about these shoes is that the right shoe feels slightly larger than the left, and it slips a little when I'm walking. It almost feels like a display shoe where a lot of people have only tried on the right one. They're also not the most attractive of the Alegrias, but I bought them because I needed white shoes that I could comfortably stand for long periods of time in and these fit the bill!

I'm a ER nurse who normally wear sneakers for a 12 night shift, but I wanted to try something different so,I purchased these shoes and wore them to work the same night. They really take some getting use to at first bur after a couple of weeks I had no problem at all. I also received numerous compliments on the style. They go great with my royal blue scrubs.

I feel like this shoe is a bit narrower that the many other styles I have purchased. I will return/exchange them.

I was reading the reviews on this shoe and I have to agree with one of the reviews. The way the shoe is shaped it make my feet look like I have clown shoes on especially the floral design. Returning for a bigger size (I have wide feet so I should have known better) and a plain design. Although I can tell they seem very comfortable because the insole is so thick.

Great pair of nursing shoes. They are very cushy and supportive. I worked 12 hour shift and my legs and back didn't hurt at the end of the day. I get tons of compliments and recommend them to everyone. The only thing that bothered me is that I must have a high arch so the top of the foot kind of is tight, but overall very comfy shoe, and I will never go back to tennis shoes for long shifts.

Very comfortable. I normally wear 8.5 in shoes and bought these in a size 38 which fit perfectly. The only fault I have with these shoes is they make my feet stink horribly, and I've never had a problem with other shoes doing this. I get tons of compliments on them every day at the hospital.

I absolutely love Alegria shoes and was therefore disappointed that I could not wear this one. I have several pairs of the Alegria shoes, without a back and wanted to try a different style. I ordered the same size, but was unable to fit my foot in the shoe, much less wear comfortably. Otherwise, I loved the colors and pattern. This one experience will not keep me from buying other pairs. :)

Great shoe! very sturdy and the embossed detail gives it a little funk. I found this shoe to run a little big, as with others of this brand. I need to wear a sock rather that a stocking type foot covering with it- Wonderful support for my busy teacher feet!

I started working 12-hour shifts and quickly developed plantar fasciitis. A few women in the clinic wear these and rave about them. I really want to like them...but the toe area is too snug (oddly, the depth inside from toe to mid-sole) and the heel is super large, like an entirely different size. I tried a Debra 10 and then an 11 through Zappos...tried a 10.5 open-back style in a store. Will have to return the 11s. The construction is excellent. Zappos is excellent with returns.

They seemed very comfortable, but unfortunately, were too big. I tried the size smaller and they were way too small.

Sizing is different than it used to be. Now I need a 40( which are slightly too big but can be managed) rather than a 39. I don't know why shoe companies mess with sizing. In addition, I ordered these because the black leather was unavailable. I really don't care for this rose pattern.

I like everything about the shoe but it's too small. I'll return these and order a larger size.

Seemed the right size after I got my foot in, but really hard to "slip on".

Excellent shoe, but not for a "low-volume" foot; it rubbed on the sides.

I wanted to love these shoes. Overall they were comfortable, however, as other reviewers said there is an issue with wheel being too wide and deep. This issue causes my foot to slide too far forward and then hit the toe box. I tried them with heavier socks, an insert, etc. but nothing helped. So I sadly made the decision to return them.

Love the unique styling, the fit was good at the arch but half size to short.
