I love these shoes. Wide is wide enough, and the arch support is very good, too. I have tendonitis in my feet and I need plenty of support and comfort; these shoes are great, and they look good, too.

Love these shoes. They are really comfortable and they are great for impact on my knees. They are very well made and love the emboss.

I'm the proud owner of 3 pair of Alegria shoes and I absolutely love them. They are more comfortable than my tennis shoes and have become a primary walking shoe. I really wanted to like the Debra style but the shoe kept slipping up and down on my heel. Regretfully had to return them. I have always like the Midnight Garden pattern so will see what other Alegria style has this pattern.

These shoes are very comfortable. I originally ordered a size 37 (based on suggested sizing for size 7) and it seemed big - long but narrow. I placed an order for a size 36 they seemed to small all around. I ended up keeping the 37, even though it seems slightly big, they have broken in well. I wish they had half sizes. The return policy at Zappos made my purchase with return worth it! I have had these shoes for 3 weeks. I ordered these shoes for work (I am a nurse) and would like to purchase a second pair of shoes! These are more comfortable than my Danskos.

I really liked this shoe, but it was too tight across the top of my foot. I ordered wide, but just was enough. I think they would of worked if not for the width, so I will try the Mary Jane's next.

I waitress and used to have foot pain halfway through my shift. These shoes are incredible! My feet no longer hurt. I will continue to buy this brand for the rest of my days!!!!

I know both feet are not the same size, so one fits better than the other. I am a 10-11 wide so I ordered 10.5 ww. Both were comfortable straight from the box and still to this day but right shoe is slightly larger, so I just wear thicker sock. My back was killing me after 5 hours with my Birks, but these are fab. I want more in all styles.

I just received these Debra Allegria's in the patent leather Midnight Garden. I ordered a wide width because my feet are very wide and I don't want my shoes to rub anywehere. These are very comfortable, and although they are a bit big for me, they will be perfectt with thin socks. I may order them in a plain black leather. They are a bit heavy though. That would be my only negative remark.

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.

These clogs have the most comfortable footbed I have ever walked on. I have bad knees, a bad back and a foot issue and these clogs have made walking pain-free again. Fantastic arch support. I will definitely be purchasing others colors. Each time I have worn these I have received great compliments and have been asked what brand they were and where did I get them. Of course I said Zappos is the very best place to shop!

I am a nurse with plantar fasciitis and I'm on my feet 12-14 hours a day. I really wanted to love these shoes! During the break-in process, I developed a slight bunion on the base of my big toe where my left foot kept sliding around in the shoe. I kept wearing them hoping that it would go away as the shoe broke in, but no such luck. The rest of the shoe felt very comfortable at first, but the cushiony support wore out after a month. I could not figure out how I could easily remove the insole to replace it. I love the rocker outsole and the flatter heel though, as I've experienced awkward heel striking with clunky Danskos. I also love the weight of the shoe and how easy they are to keep clean (I work around a lot of body fluids). Overall I wore these shoes 11 months until I just had to find a different shoe.

I wear a 39 in Josef Seibel and an 8½ in Keens; these shoes in a 38 fit me. I have high arches and the insole of this wonderful shoes formed to my feet beautifully. Unfortunately, I also have a moderately high instep which meant that the top of the shoes dug into the top of my feet. Sadly, they are going back for that reason. I do not do break-in periods. The right shoe either fits straight out of the box or it does not and if they hurt after a 10 minute try-on, back they go. I am sad to box these pretties back up. They provide excellent room in the toe box, too.

This would be extremely comfortable if they were the right size. But I just think it's more shoe than I need. I just wanted a comfortable walking/standing all day shoe but the style is too industrial for me.

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.

Left shoe was much looser than the right one, measured both of them and it was a quarter of an inch longer from the midline. Love the shoes, will try again.

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

I own a pair of the Seville Alegrias in 'blue lovely patent' and I highly recommend them. I wear them 8 hours a day for work and I'm on my feet all day. You can wear the strap on the front of the shoe as shown or behind your heel and I love that I can slip my feet in and out easily. They are so comfortable and I can't tell you how many compliments and comments I get on them. I wanted another pair of Alegrias so I tried the Debra. I love the look of the embossed style but unfortunately they were very tight on my feet and painful on my toes so I returned them.

Calling Code Comfort! Hey there all nurses, these shoes are excellent, awesome, the bomb & all the other adjectives that cover how great something is. I have worn running shoes (good ones) and they were okay. I had the Dansko shoes. They were awful! Go with these Alegria shoe. Great arch support, wide toe box, and not too tall in height. I work 12 hour nights and these are what I will be buying from now on. I purchased one pair and then turned at bought another a few weeks later!

Although very comfy with the insole that came with it, you cannot use your custom orthotic. There is a hard ridge that rubbed my toes. Very disappointing.

These run large. If you get the lace ups, you can tighten them up, but if you get the slip-ons, by the middle of the day they are slipping off. I am going to try half a size smaller. I love the look and feel.

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 needed a navy professional clog. Dansko's are much too wide and the heel is so high that it puts too much pressure on the ball of my foot. Sanita's are a much better fit and while its heel is somewhat lower, it still puts too much weight and pressure on the ball of my foot. I had high hopes for the Allegria clog but it was huge. Had it fit, I would have kept it and worn it despite strongly disliking the embossed design. If they ever make a simple design that is more appealing, I will try ordering a smaller size because they do make a comfortable shoe. Too bad they are so ugly.
