Customer Reviews Alegria Caiti

So stiff, sole didn't bend, uncomfortable

I have been searching for boots that will not aggravate my plantar fasciitis or knee problems and when I first put these on thought they were the answer, but after walking around they began to rub against the top of my foot. The fit is strange: too loose on the heel and too tight across the top of the foot. I wore them outside so I can't return them. My search continues.

These ran *really* small. I don't know if perhaps Alegria changed their fit standards or what (I have other Alegria boots that fit just fine), but I could barely get my foot into these!

way to big, returned

These shoes are a half size too small in the toe. Leather is very stiff. However they are well made and seem to be a sturdy shoe

Though true to size and ok arch support, this low boot was very stiff. Even worse, the sole tips up at the top, has no give whatsoever, and is slippery even indoors on the carpet. I was looking for a similar but much comfier shoe made by Spring Step that is, alas, no longer available.

so very small. i couldnt even get my foot into it. missized

Way too narrow

Because it is an 11-1/2 - 12 it turned out to much bigger and overall looser than I expected. And it looked more like a bedroom slipper than a clog type bootie. I didn't realize this brand's more working stand up a lot style. The inner sole was very comfy but I would have needed at least one pair of really thick socks to make them somewhat wearable and they were so large looking on my already large feet I wouldn't have worn them and felt good. But they were cool looking in the crazy quilt pattern. Just not For me.

I ordered size EU 41 (10.5-11) in the black ink impressions pattern. They didn't look as cute in person, the top edge is rough-looking, the upper is stiff, and they're a little boat-like (especially in a larger size). I am normally a 10.5 in sneakers. These were too large for my foot, and my heel slid up and down while walking. The velcro didn't close tight enough to make up for all the extra space around my ankle and heel. Despite it being overall too large/wide, somehow it was rubbing one of my toe knuckles and felt strangely tight in a couple spots. The footbed felt like it would have been comfortable, but the upper didn't fit right at all, and I had to return them.

I had high hopes for this shoe as my DIL bought a pair of the lower style and loves the comfort. Instead, the padding in the arch hit right at the spot where I developed a plantar neuroma. And, the back ankle was way too high and dug into my leg. The size 9 seemed accurate.

These boots are nice looking; but bulkier than expected. The 7-7.5 was too big (I wear a 7 M in us sizing) and the arch was forward of my natural arch. Furthermore, they were too wide in the heel and slipped at every step.

Arch too high

Super cute shoes, but I ordered a size 13 that was most definitely not a 13. More like a 12. So unfortunately, back they go.

I am returning the shows because they aren't comfortable. Part of that is my fault...ordered wrong size (too big). Also, I don't think they look good on my feet...my feet are large and the way the shoe is cut makes my feet look like duck feet and 1/2 size smaller wouldn't really help that much. That isn't the fault of the shoe, just how I am made. The shoe was soft and nice looking. The sole isn't very flexible...felt like I was walking flat footed.

No way that these are size 11.5-12. A full size smaller.

I'm on the fence about these. I want to love them but they are not as structured as my Heidi's and they have less than moderate arch support. Will walk around the house a little more to decide.

I bought the Alegria Caiti boot in Drifted, size 39 (US 9-9.5). As I have plantar fascitis, I wanted a shoe with good support, and part of my summer wardrobe has been my podiatrist-approved Alegria sandal. Unfortunately, this boot is very loose in the entire ankle and heel area, providing no security whatsoever. My heel freely moved from side to side. One thing I learned with this plantar fascitis from my doctor is that I not only need a good footbed, but it is important for the heel to be secure (contained). Had to send these back. Style was just OK and not what I had hoped for. The color Drifted is versatile.

Everything was a fit disaster. Not what I would expect from Zappos!

Bad and silly looking. Might be good for a thirteen year old. Not as pictured.

All bad

I was very disappointed in these booties. I wanted to like them since I can only wear Alegria shoes. However, they were very stiff and hard around the ankles. Very uncomfortable and painful. The inner sole felt harder under my foot than my other Alegria shoes. I also didn't care for the design of these booties although they were mostly hidden by wide legged pants. Of course, it's a matter of personal taste.

These shoes were beautiful but I had to return them. They ran very small (I wear 6.5). I ordered a wide width but the shoes were very narrow. For these reasons, I couldn’t even get my feet into them. As pretty as they are, I would have been willing to try a larger and wider size but they had sold out by the time I tried them.

These are very pretty but run extremely small and narrow. I wear a wide width shoe, not extra wide. These were supposed to be wide width but I couldn’t even get my feet in them. I will be returning them.
