Customer Reviews Alegria Debra Professional

Based on the look and style of these shoes, which I love - and the fantastic reviews, even from people with foot problems and injuries, I ordered 3 pairs of these as I currently have an issue with my foot. I am having trouble with any shoes that I try to put on. However, The style of the toe box pointing upwards was very painful with my current situation so unfortunately, I had to send all 3 of them back. Maybe when and if my current condition with my injury ever goes away, i can try these cute looking shoes again...I might try a different style of the Alegria shoes...right now, they did not work for me...which made me sad because, I was hoping they would be the miracle shoes that I need right now.

Toe box was wide enough; but depth was too shallow . Also length was too short and heels slipped. Leather was stiff and rubbed up against the side of my foot. Arch support seemed above my natural arch, making the shoe feel a bit uncomfortable. i liked the style and was disappointed in the fit.

I really wanted to love these shoes. I got a 10.5 (I normally wear a 10) hoping that would be comfortable. No dice. The top is tight across the foot. I'm so sad.

I am in between sizes in this shoe. One size is a little snug across the top and the next size up is to loose around my foot. I got these and the Keli and the keli fit me better overall.

I love the look and feel of these shoes - BUT they squeak - EVERYTIME I take a step. Too irritating for me to keep.

So very cute, so very small. Not in the length, more the thickness and the width of toe box. Changing the insoles didn't help the rubbing of the baby toe bunion. So very sad to have to send back...

I normally wear a 6.5 and ordered a 36. They were fine without socks, but they felt a little too snug with socks around the toe area. I’m sure if I exchanged them for a size up, they would’ve been fine. I also have high arches but these seem to only give a moderate arch support. I went back and exchanged them for my regular Danskos. Those offer much more arch support.

I wanted to love these Allegria shoes. Unfortunately, the heel was too big for the narrow heel on my otherwise wide foot. Just found out my feet are now 10 wides, excluding me from thousands of shoes that don't come in wide. I am trying to find shoes with more arch support and heel cushioning (I have a bone spur on my right foot, plus a flattening arch and possible plantar fasciitis), and I will keep searching.

OUCH....leather stiff...crowded little toes.

Pretty comfortable shoe. They did slip on my narrow heals a bit so I returned these and ended up with the original slip resistant slip on Alegria clog and love them. Returned this shoe.

Thought i was going to love this shoe, but alas,I ordered it in the 38 and it was way too small, my toes were rubbing at the tip. Ordered the 39 and my foot is floating in it. the footbed is unbelievably comfortable and has great support, but the sizing is problematic. Had to return both.

I was unable to wear these. Unfortunately I have a wide foot and thick foot. Couldn't get them on.

I wanted to love these but they fit me strangely and uncomfortably. Sending back.

This is a beautiful shoe but unfortunately with my difficult feet they hurt I could hardly walk in them. Maybe with good feet they would work for you.

These are comfortable shoes for my arthritic feet. However, they squeak. It's very annoying and embarrassing when people start to look at what's squeaking. I have several pairs of Alegrias and about half of them squeak. A shoe this expensive shouldn't squeak. Although it doesn't bother me too much, the back does slip off of my heel at times.

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.

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.

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.

I love my Alegria shoes and sandals I have had two pair of sandals, one Debra and two classic. They are comfortable and easy to wear. However, after wearing about a year and 1/2 the soles start to wear and the shoes became very slippery when worn on the grass. After two seasons of wear the sandals broke. I will not be purchasing them again because of this. The sole issue is very dangerous.

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.

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.

Love the print, great support but Wow, they really are tight over the top of the foot. After wearing for a week the top of my left foot hurt so much, I could only wear sneakers for the next 2 weeks because other stiffer shoes aggravated the painful spot. Now I will try wearing them maybe once a week and see if I can tolerate the tightness. I work in a hospital, on feet all day so I hope I can wear them, otherwise they have great support and nice wide toebox.

I have a medium-wide, flat foot. Have worn Birkis super clog for years but was hoping for a little different look yet good support. I like the rocker action and I think it gives good support but the rest isn't up to snuff for my liking. I wear a 38 Birki. I ordered a 37 Alegria Debra Professional (as recommended) and my toes just grazed the front of the shoe a bit. I went up a size but they are too big lengthwise -- my heel slips out when I walk. It's been about 6 weeks of wearing them now. The width is definitely not roomy -- it's tricky to get the shoe on without it pulling my sock tight over my toes as I slide it on. They are stiff not supple shoes. One night after an exceptionally long day shift I woke up with leg cramps. The next morning at work I started to put these shoes on and could tell I was going to have leg pain if I wore them that day. I have to alternate these with my old Birkis to prevent leg cramps. Can't wait 'til I can justify spending a few bucks to get a new pair of Birkis.
