Customer Reviews Alegria Karmen

Bring back my Karmens! I have them in the dark (blue/black/purple) snake and just love them -- they are super comfortable and so cute! I wear them all day long shopping or doing housework or to meetings -- just everywhere -- and they never hurt my foot or feel funny even after 14-16 hours, and I have had dozens of compliments on them. Would order more (size 8--8.5) but they are gone. Don't stop making them, Alegria! (Love my Palomas too!) (Cannot wear thongs or a lot of other styles of sandals so the Karmens are ideal for me!)

I spent all day in town looking for slip on sandals to no avail. Came home, went to Zappos, and found these within 30 minutes. They were worn 3 days straight right out of the box. The straps are adjustable, the shoes comfortable, fit great...I love them.

These sandals are beautiful! They are easy to wear to dress up an outfit or just to add some fun to something casual. The cute little butterfly on the outside of the heel adds whimsy to the sandal. The feel great on my feet. I have a wide foot and they are adjustable. Perfect for me!

I love this sandal! I have a Morton's Neuroma and a bunion on one foot and thus far the only sandal I can wear without an orthotic is Dansko. Until now. This sandal is crazy cool! No pain, super comfortable. I did have to go down a size from the 40 I wear in Dansko. The 39 in this sandal fits perfectly. While trying it on in the department store I was walking around and another customer walked past me and said "Oh, I love your shoes!!" That sealed the deal.

I have a lot of trouble finding shoes that fit. On a whim I tried these shoes. I am so happy I did. They are probably THE most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. The straps are adjustable, and there is arch support, and I've received a lot of complements on them. I liked these shoes so much that I have purchased several other pairs of this same brand in different styles and I have no complaints.

When I first received these sandals I wasn't sure at first because they looked bulky. I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable and light weight they are. The adjustable straps are the best and I can adjust to keep them on my feet, haven't slipped off once. Of course the serpent design is awesome and goes well w/ my purple pedi, but versatile enough to wear w/ many different outfits. I highly recommend, especially for people who have trouble finding comfy stylish sandals.

These are great shoes! They are classy looking while being casual, comfortable as all get out - and I have (very) problem feet! They stay on the feet well, the adjustable straps make the fit a breeze, and the footbed feels great. Coming from me, that is saying a lot.

Darling shoes. A little clunky but cool clunky and comfortable? Oh yeah! It's like these babies teach you a new way of walking and I'll betcha, a new way of talking and meeting new people when they tell you how cute your shoes are! Go for 'em. They shine.

I bought my 1st pair of Alegria sandals and just loved the way they made my feet feel! I always wore Birkenstocks before! I loved the shinny butterfly buckle, bling! I was amazed, at how well, they wore in Alaska summers! I also could wear for regular dress or to dress up, an outfit! They were not at very many outlets, in Alaska, 3 years ago. I looked online and found them! Like I said, I fell in love with them! This year, even though, my 1st pair is still in good shape, I decided to get a second pair. Zappos is so great! Zappos carries so many brands. Zappos charges no shipping! It was a no brainer to find them, in my size, order them. It was so easy, and the next thing I knew, I had them in my hands! Thanks to Alegria Karmen and Zappos.

I love these sandals. My foot is very narrow (AAA width), and I am able to tighten the straps to fit my foot. The foot bed is ultra comfortable. I may buy another pair in a different color.

This one is a keeper! Awesome arch support and footbed. I tried many slip on and strappy sandals but this one is a must if you're like me having problems with knees and hip (surgery)...I must say that this is by far the best slip on sandals I ever bought. 100% satisfied with this pair and this will not be the last time I will purchase Alegria for my feet. Love Alegria!

I wore these sandals for the first time today. As all Alegria shoes, they fit perfectly and were comfortable from the moment I put them on. The arch is great and the insole gives me support. I have knee and back problems and as the owner of many Alegria shoes they are life savers!

I absolutely love this shoe. I bought these in Fusia last summer and was so excited to find them black recently. They are great for bad feet and knees and very stylish. The high instep keeps them on your feet without flopping. Both straps adjust with velcrow making the fit perfect. Most comfy shoe I own. You won't be disappointed.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these sandals! They were comfortable from the minute I put them on. Both straps are adjustable which is great to customize the fit. I especially love the color! I plan to order at least two more pairs. I felt they fit true to size. I wear a 39 in the Donna Professional line, and ordered the 8/8.5 in this sandal. Fits perfectly. And dealing with Zappos is the best experience by far! I have never been disappointed w/any dealings at Zappos! Looking forward to shopping for more Alegria soon!

This is a very comfortable shoe. The leather straps were much softer than I expected. I will wear it a lot this summer and would order more just like it if there were a design that I liked a lot.

Love this shoe, but the reflective finish was a bit much. It was very comfortable and did not hurt my sensitive toes.

These shoes where just a tad too short, but overall, quite attractive. Love that the straps are adjustable I am returning for a size 39.

nice style and comfort runs large,kinda reminds of Noat but larger shoe than Noat the style .Going back for Think the footbed is smoother.

Love the velcro straps. My feet swell and this allows for adjustment throughout the day. They are comfortable and cute. Hard to find that combo sometimes.

to heavy for me and the front strap hurt.its a beautiful sandal but not for my feet, thank you

These sandals are pretty cool - but.... I normally wear a 9 -9.5. These were not at all close to being a 9.5. My foot length-wise readily filled the sandal with my heel just over/at the edge. I prefer just a little more room. Consequently, I did not have a chance to really walk around in them to fully review. Exchanging them for the Euro Size 40. (10) - will keep you posted. I am sure they will be keepers!

I needed semi-rigid soles to help with my MTP joint arthritis and these are 1 1/2" (their 1 1/4" is more flexible). Actually, I need semi-rigid soles, plus arch support, which these don't have for me. I mourn that my beloved Orthaheel Tides don't have a less flexible version. Wish the top strap didn't hit so high up on my foot - it's annoying, is thick, feel claustrophobic, hot, and rubs a red mark after about 15 blocks, esp if it's hot. If you're on the edge of one size, maybe consider sizing up. I measure 8.5-9 in sandals and the 39 (9-9.5) fits me. Plenty of volume for my voluminous feet without showing velcro to adjust the straps. I also like that they toe strap doesn't give me blisters and has a slight curve so it doesn't dig. They are a bit clunky, but that is fine for super casual and anyway, it kinda balances with my thighs, so it ends up being a good proportion as long as I'm not wearing a long skirt or something that needs a more dainty sandal. At least they aren't super geriatric-looking in my opinion. They sell footbeds - they should just make a version with more arch support for those of us with high arches and they wouldn't have to change the shoe style for those with lower arches (or better yet - make them more compatible with custom orthotics - no custom orthotic is going to be shaped like their footbed - especially the heel, and no factory footbed will have the correction I need under my MTP joint). Their footbed is shaped like an actual foot, and I find them true to size. Even though the footbed is removable, I don't find that they work great with custom orthotics, and I wish they did! And I'm unsure they have a shank or what is going on in there. But for a "comfort" sandal, these are better than most. And the oyster color is a soft white - not quite optic, but doesn't have that ugly tea-stained off-white color that I hate.

Even though they are a little higher than I am used to, they feel steadier than some lower ones I have. I might not want to wear them for the whole day, but for a few hours out, they are fine. Glad I got a 7.5 rather than the 8.

I have arthritis in my big toes and the rocker bottom soles are great. They are cute and I have gotten compliments - however the inside lining is metallic and when I was walking a lot the top of my feet got a blister - other colors have softer cushy lining against your feet - much more comfortable than these.

I don't know how everyone else thought these shoes were true to size, but for me they weren't. I've been wearing size 35 for 30 years, and theses were larger than I'm used to. I bought the metallic fun which were very pretty, but the sandals kept slipping off my feet. A real problem with shoes like this is the width of the straps. While they might look really good in a larger size, when you wear a short size, the straps are so wide, they cover too much of the foot and look clunky. I know it's not practical, but I wish shoe makers proportioned straps to the size of the shoe.
