I just put these on and am in LOVE! I’m going on the site to buy more! They are like standing on a cloud. I also have a fused joint on my big toe, and the “rocker” angle really helps my gait. I don’t feel like I am adjusting the way I walk to accommodate the angle of my toe.

I ordered the Carina in the black “Hello Doily” ( hee hee) I ordered a size 39. They’re about half-inch too large for my size 8.5 feet, but Zappos doesn’t have a size smaller, so I’m going to make these work. I love ‘em!

very nice but too narrow for me. I was able to feel the stitching around the sides of the soles and felt with much use there would be blisters. On the Allegria website they offer an option for wide feet but not sure it would help- here is their response: "We don't offer wide shoes but we offer a wide insert which is thinner than the regular medium insert and it drops the foot to the bottom-most part of the shoe creating more room in the toe box and the instep. For sandals you do need one size smaller than the shoe itself for it to fit properly. Ex. if you wear a size 37 you need a 36 wide insert. If you don't typically wear wide shoes you can just select no thanks". For these sandals the instep is already adjustable. But nice sandals! So glad about Zappos return policy!

So happy these sandals fit & feel great! I've tried a couple different pair of Alegria sandals in the past and the leather rubbed my foot in a bad way. I LOVE Alegria shoes and was so sad that during the summer I had to give them up. I hurt my foot a few years ago and stumbled upon Alegria Classics which were the only shoes I could wear for 6 months. Since then I have accumulated 3 pair of Classics, 3 pair of Palomas (my favorite), and two pair of Sedona boots. I have metatarsal issues and I can wear Alegrias all day without pain. Besides being incredibly comfortable, they wear like iron. I'm going on nearly 3 years with my first pairs and they still look good and feel good.

I love these shoes. Had several bones fused in my foot and need arch support all the time and these are great. I wear these all the time and can walk/stand without pain for hours. I am not a fan of the "accessories" on the shoes, would like them to be a little more plain, but will sacrifice for comfort and no pain!

This makes my 4th pair of Alegria shoes I have purchased in the last 3 months. They are so comfortable in every way. Soft leather insole next to my feet. Great arch support. Just love them!!!

Really nice looking thong, and the pewter color is gorgeous. I like that the beads add just enough sparkle, without being overly bling-y. The adjustable top strap is genius. The most comfortable footbed I've ever walked on - one of those shoes you don't want to take off.
The only reason I am rating 4 for comfort has to do with the flap that comes down over the toe stalk. It's going to take some breaking in to keep this from rubbing the top of my foot raw. Otherwise, really great sandal.

These were super comfortable straight out of the box. I stand on concrete all day long at work and these keep a spring in my step. The rocker sole and the footbed are supportive to my high arch and kept me from feeling leg and foot pain. I only wish they came in more colors! White or a light silver for summer would be great!

The soft leather feels better on then the patent leather and this is also much better suited for narrow feet. The decorative pieces look like mother of pearl and have a lovely opalesence. Keepers.

Fabulously comfortable, particularly if you have spine, knee or hip issues. Keeps your body aligned correctly and tremendous support. Unfortunately if you have narrow feet, these are too big but this one has an adjustable strap that actually does allow this one to work on my narrow feet.

These are really cute! But the stitching is rough. I'm going to order a bigger size to see if that helps. I love the adjustable strap, great for my wide feet.

This is my first pair by Alegria. I love them! I work retail and I was able to stand for 10 hours and then go out after work. My feet felt great. Got compliments on them! Will be buying more.

Unbelievably comfortable - has an adjustable strap for a perfect fit on each foot! The shell details are very nice.

I recently developed Plantar fasciitis and it has completely changed my way of shopping for shoes. I bought these sandals because of a pair Alegria Mary Janes I purchased and have loved. In most shoes I am a 8.5 /sometimes 9 and these are just a tiny bit too short for my foot. My foot is 9 7/8” long heel to toe (see pic).

Beautiful shoe, but I couldn't pull the strap far enough to tighten it so that the shoe would feel secure on my foot. Sad.

The length of this as fine for me. I ordered at size 36 (I normally would take a 37 but this brand seems to run large). The foot bed wasn't as soft as I had expected but the deal breaker for me was the stitching at the top of the sandals. My toes could feel the stitching and really bothered me. While I love the style, I don't think I can tolerate the feeling of the stitches. I'm sorry to have to return this.

These sandals are great. I was looking for comfortable sandals for a lot of walking. Sometimes the strap across the foot loosens, but there is velcro on the top so the strap can be made tighter. Would recommend these shoes. As always, Zappos service is great.

I really wanted to like these. I wanted a dressier flip flop for my 'bad' feet and I wanted to like these. They are very cute! But they just don't fit right. There isn't much arch support...and just walking around the bedroom hurt my feet. Guess I keep walking in my Mephistos!

Super cute, very cushy footbed and didn’t irritate my painful big tow joint, but threw my alignment off and caused knee pain sadly.

I kept these as they were cute but kind of wish I didn't. They are hard to walk in as my foot was slipping all over the place because I'm more of a 5 and these say 5/5.5 and are much closer to the 5.5 plus they are wider. They sort of feel like I'm walking on those Japanese style block flip flops.
