Customer Reviews Alegria Paloma

I am a RN and bought these shoes for work. I love them! They are very comfortable and I have never gotten so many compliments as I have on these shoes! I definitely plan to buy another pair.

These shoes are fun and they definitely attract attention - "pretty" from my toddler when they came out of the box and even housekeeping at a hotel recognized me from my shoes. They are comfortable but not perfectly so (like my Dansko clogs) - good arch support but I feel rather aware of the stiffish perimeter of the shoe around my upper foot - wish it could be a little softer and maybe it will get there in time. Also getting a mud splash off wasn't the easiest.

Wow! Love the feel of this shoe on my very painful feet. I have a wide foot and this is still comfortable. The area around the heel does come up high, right under my ankle and I'm not sure if that will be a problem with prolonged wear yet. Also, the pattern I ordered (Black Rose) does not look the same as the photo on the web page. In the photo it looks like green leaves...but what you see is shiny black patent and shiny gold leaves, vines and almost no roses. I'm still debating whether or not to keep them as my daughter says they are the ugliest shoes she's ever seen because of the gold pattern. But I kind of like it. Just be aware that it looks different in person.

The shoe appeared wide but when I tried it on it felt a little narrow. I also didn't understand what all the hype was about in regards to comfort. The fact that the insert is made of cork and memory foam really sold me. However, when I tried the shoes on and walked around a bit they didn't feel any more comfortable than my cheap ole tennis shoes. In my humble opinion, not worth the the price. I'm returning them to try the Alegria Seville's. Thank goodness for free shipping!

I love these shoes! They are comfortable right out of the box! I am a school teacher and wore them right out of the box all day while I stood, and they were totally comfortable. I heard about them from my sister, who is a nurse, and wears them for work (and at home). I first ordered the slip on's in a size 41 (in Dansko's I fluctuate between a 40 and 41, depending on the style), but returned them because they were too big. I also thought the little flap at the front might irritate my ankle, so I chose these instead and ordered them in a size 40. Perfect! Love them, shared it with my 2 co-workers, who proceeded to order 4 pairs between the 2 of them! They are true to size, maybe run slightly big compared to Danskos, but slightly smaller than Keens. The colors and prints are great, the style and shape is funky, love them...I'll be back for more.

These shoes are wonderful for walking. They are too wide for me though I wear a B width. Have to wear very thick socks.

These shoes are so cute! I love the way they look and I get loads of compliments about them. Plus they are still comfy after 8 hours on my feet. I originally ordered a size 10 from the company and they were huge and then I ordered a 9 from Zappos which are slightly small. I wear a 9.5 usually so I can't wear socks with the size 9 but I still love them.

The print on these shoes does not match the picture. All of the flowers, stems are outlined in GOLD. I did not like them at all!! I sent them back for the flat black shoes and absolutely love them. Super comfy.

I wish these worked for me. They are comfortable and lightweight but I have big ankles and when I walk the shoe rubs against it. Blisters.

The Paloma's are very cute. However, if you have wide feet or a bunion these shoes are not for you. I wore them to work and by the end of the day my feet were throbbing. If you have a normal width they would probably be quite comfortable.

I have had these shoes for about 5 months. I have worn them fewer than 10 times. They are very cute, BUT the film which has the flower design is starting to crackle and come off right in the "break" off the shoe (where it bends when walking). I am disappointed that this has happened in such a short time, especially considering the price.

I am a RN with plantar fascitis, high arches, and a lingering lis franc sprain. If any of these apply to you, buy these shoes! I slide my podiatrist's hard insoles in them and live happily through a 12-hr shift. My only complaint is that they are noisy once you break them in- squeaky. The comfort and cuteness makes up for the sound, though!

I could wear these shoes in comfort immediately. I have another style from this brand that I love, as well. Well made and a subtle rocker that is similar to MBT.

This was my first Alegria purchase, and I must say I love these shoes! The arch support is excellent, and the overall comfort of the shoe exceeded my expectations. I will definitely invest in another pair.

Love these shoes! They look exactly like the picture. Very comfortable. Thinking of getting another pair soon, of course in a different color!

I love these shoes. Talk about comfortable, I have thick big toe nails and these are so comfortable. There is plenty of arch support. As I said these shoes are very comfortable, and everybody loves them.

I love these! They are a little "klunky", but that is also part of the fun. Good with long pants, I doubt they'd look good with skirts, shorts. They are wonderful to walk in because your heel hits first then rolls along and they offer a nice walking stride. Kind of academic, but important. I have narrow feet, so I have to put in a liner. The Mary Jane strap holds my foot in place. I wear sox with these. The size 39 goes from 9 - 9.5. Definitely need the 9.5 extra length.

These are great stand in all day shoes! No break in time! I cannot say enough about the comfort, fit and durability! And Zappos is absolutely amazing!

Great shoe! Very comfortable and color is striking. I own at least 8 other pairs of Paloma, and they are all awesome! The first time I ordered these, I got someone else's shoes. I called Zappos and I was immediately emailed a return label and the correct shoes were on their way immediately! Great customer service! Thank you!

Great shoe, fits well, nice wide toe box for my wide foot, great arch support for my high arched feet and chronic plantar fasciitis. Returning because I don't like the finish on this floral print. Will buy a different pair.

The floral pattern is artsy and works well with many outfits. The upper is hard and molded, not soft and supple. The pad in the shoe offers great support for arches and the whole foot; or you can easily remove it & replace with custom orthotics. The only negative is that the size 9 I ordered is a little short - my toe touches the end when I walk.

Best shoes ever! Sassy and super comfy! I loved them so much I bought a 2nd pair of Alegria's a week after these came. But these are still my fave.

Ahhhh! Just got home and found happiness in a box on my front porch. My first pair of Alegria's - The toe box is roomy, and the footbed is cushy yet supportive. Arch support is excellent. The heel is roomy but not too loose. After spending the day in heels these feel like slippers. The seam between the top of the shoe and the sole make it a little wider than I would like but overall the comfort surpasses the minor styling issues that I have. I normally wear jeans or khakis at work and these will work just fine. I purchased the Zappos leopard edition but will most likely get another pair in a solid color.

Love the immediate comfort, but returning because the strap is too high and cuts into the bend of my ankle. Drat!
