Customer Reviews Alegria Debra Professional

These appear well-made and the footbed is very comfortable. The shoe is lightweight, but my heel slipped constantly even with heel inserts. The top of the shoe was so uncomfortably tight over my instep that it hobbled me and left huge bruises on the tops of my feet. I wore them twice and cannot bear to put them on again. Besides that, they look like duck feet in person. Am completely dissapointed that I spent this much on a pair of unwearable shoes. I will stick to Danskos.

I got the friends pattern... and it is super cute! The cushiony support is great. I hate Danskos because they just killed my feet even after a break-in period. These I wore right out of the box. However, the top of the shoe was really tight across my foot. I cut the elastic on each side to give just a little more give and tried stuffing them full of socks to stretch that part a little. Also, they have started squeaking some when I walk. I bought foot powder to see if that helps because my feet do sweat. I wear them for 12 hours with no problem besides that. And the top has loosened up. I think it's because I have a high arch. I am a size 6 and the Euro 36 is perfect.

I love the shoe, but have a slight bunion on one foot and cannot wear this style of Alegria. Bummer!

I get loads of compliments on these shoes. I was looking for something with good arch support because of foot pain and these have really helped.

I love these shoes. I had trouble with Danskos because they were tight across the top of my foot causing excruciating pain toward the end of my shifts. These are sturdy and comfortable with a memory foam insole that molds to your foot. Only complaint is they're boxy.

I wear a 38, so that's what I ordered. They were huge. I went down to a 37, and they still were big and very wide. They are a bit stiff and made in China.

I love them! They are my new "old faithfuls". I have spent plenty of money on clogs, and I finally found the best of the best.

I have been searching for comfortable shoes for work, and I thought these would be what I was looking for, but they are not. They are too tight across the top of my foot. They are going back.

I have a pair of the Classic Alegria clogs that I wear for work - I'm a nurse so am on my feet constantly. I love them so I thought I'd try the Debra Professional. I love everything about the Debra except the fit because my heel slips out with every step. I wear a 9.5 and the 40 clog fit perfectly so I ordered the same size in the Debra. I don't know if sizing down would have fixed that problem or if that's just the way the shoe is made.

I love these shoes. I'm an RN in the OR and work a ten hour shift...sometimes more. Very comfortable. No real wear in period. Not as hard as Danskos. Much prefer these to other "nursing shoes" I've tried.

Very comfortable and a lot of cushion. I wear these shoes to work for several hours on my feet and I have no foot or back pain at all. These shoes are worth every penny.

I was trying to make a switch from Danskos to Alegria due to awesome reviews from my coworkers. I purchased the Debra as they have a back and the entire front is enclosed. I ended up returning this pair due to the fact the back of shoe was eating my heel alive. I purchased the same size I wear in Danskos. I ended up getting a backless pair and love them. The arch support is great in this shoe and it's comfortable, you just may need to consider going a size up.

I purchased my first pair of Alegria shoes 2 weeks ago. I have severe nerve damage and arthritis in one foot and spurs on both of my heels. When I say they help...they help! I am going to buy me 2 more pair this weekend...early Christmas gift to myself.

The footbed feels really comfortable with nice arch support, but the 6.5 was too short in length and the 7 was way too big. Unfortunately, I have to send them back.

These shoes were comfy and cute (although I wasn't crazy about the butterfly) but ran very large. As the third pair of shoes I tried in a week, I decided to abandon the online route this time and go into a store- don't usually have such a hard time fitting shoes. I think these may have worked a size down, but I didn't feel like keeping up the return dance to find out.

I recently purchased my first pair of Alegria shoes due to having plantar fasciitis and needing something with excellent arch support. These shoes have helped my foot so much, that I have now purchased my third pair. It's so easy to order from Zappos, the selection is great, and the best part is the customer services. I would highly recommend these shoes, and ordering from Zappos! Returns are a cinch too. I had to exchange on of my pairs for a different style.

I loved the look of this shoe. It's really beautiful and well made, but the heel slipped with every step I took. So sorry I have to return it. C. G. Holden, MA

I got these in the multi-colored design, and they are so-o cool, but they ran just a bit big. I wanted to love them, but in size 11 in the multi-color, I looked like I had clown shoes on.

I love Alegria shoes. They always provide comfort and style. I have flat feet, and they accommodate my feet just fine. I find that I always trip when I wear these, and I'm not sure if it's me or the shoes, but I love them anyway. They were perfect for my nursing class, we have to wear all white leather shoes. So glad I bought them!!!

These are really pretty, but the top leather on the left shoe rubs me and hurts. I think it's just the particular cut on the shoe because I have these in the plain black leather, and they are wonderful. I may order another pair of the embossed to see if they are any smoother.

I needed a shoe that has good support, and I think I found it! Finally!

I just got a pair of these. They are without question the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I've been living in Danskos and Haflingers due to plantar fasciitis and thought I'd give these a try. The are ever so slightly lower in the heel area with a fabulous arch. A very unique feel. Please make these in a lot of colors! I don't want to take them off!

My girlfriend was wearing these and i just went crazy over them. She told me to get a pair so i did and have never been sorry! I have many pairs of womens loafers but these are the softest and most comfortable. I may order out some sandals in this brand

I ordered these shoes on Thursday evening, and was so pleasantly suprised when I received the shoes the following day! I actually received an email from Zappos notifying me that they upgraded my shipping status and at no cost at all. Talk about exceptional customer service. I'm currently recovering from a broken right foot, so I was only able to try on the left shoe and it fit perfectly, and felt very comfortable as I tested it for the rest of the day.

I bought a pair of these shoes on sale in Seattle. Never have I owned a more comfortable working shoe. I really feel that when my feet feel good, my whole body feels good! I am long past the age of caring if they look "snazzy," just know that these shoes are worth the expense. I walk about 10 miles a day as a floor nurse. These shoes won't disappoint; worth every penny spent!
