Customer Reviews Alegria Alli Professional

I LOVE these shoes! I teach and have "extensive" plantar fascia according to my doctor. I have recently had 2 injections and worn a boot at night. When I wear these shoes, my feet do not hurt! Worth every penny!

I have a few pairs of the Donna for play & a few pairs of the Seville for work (I am a nurse & am on my feet for my 12+ hour shift pretty much the whole time. Nurses who work in a hospital know how busy med-surg floors are.) I bought my 1st pair of Sevilles in 2007 & another pair in 2008. The shoes have helped me survive long days without my feet/legs hurting so much. The straps have been replaced many times. They keep sliding down not giving me the support I need at the heel making my toes curl every time I step. I bought the Alli to replace the Sevilles & they have great support. They are still at the breaking in phase. They are a bit stiff compared to my broken in Sevilles. The bottom of both my Sevilles only on the right foot are split all the way horizontally at the base of the toe area from edge to edge. My sister (also a nurse) bought Sevilles the same time I did & hers did that too. Also, every time I step, the left shoe squeaks - annoying!

The Black Emboss Paisley shoe is very nice. I like black shoes but plain black often looks like I'm wearing my farm irrigating boots. So the Black Emboss Paisley helped with that problem. The Alegria Alli Professional is a full coverage shoe which I prefer. It can be hard to get your foot into the shoe due to the extent of full coverage but it gives me so much support I don't feel like the shoe will fall off or I'll slosh around in it and twist an ankle. The regular insole that came in the shoe made the shoe seem too shallow for my toes and instep so I ordered the Alegria Wide Insole Replacement. This made all the difference for me. I have worn the shoe for a full week now and am very happy. The shoes are cute, comfortable, provide great arch support and cushion for my sensitive feet. I can hardly wait to put my shoes on in the morning...they feel that good. Thanks Zappos for your great customer service and allowing me to find the right shoes. I advertise for Zappos all the time!

These are the most comfortable shoes ever! I have horrible foot issues and have searched endlessly for a shoe I can wear at work all day, I love, love, love these shoes!

Well, I took a chance on these because I'd owned Alegria shoes before (the Paloma) and knew they were comfortable. Unfortunately with my high instep they were very difficult to get into, although once on my feet, they felt fine. I'd ordered the "Special Serpent" color, which looked like a subtle iridescent snake print online, but in person it was a pretty bright purple/turquoise print, not iridescent. Looked like cheap PU snakeprint. But the worst part of this shoe - which I should have remembered from the Paloma - was that in a size 38, they make my feet look like ducks! Flippers! Those soles they use, and the construction method, make the shoe very wide and square at the toe. Yes, this is the reason they feel so good on my wide, square feet but it looks very unattractive. I have returned them and will purchase the Taylor loafer on the new sole instead. The colors aren't as wild, but it's more mainstream-looking, and not goofy.

Extremely comfortable (and I think they are cute). This brand of shoe does seem to run larger than other comfort brands, eg Dansko, Sanita, Birkenstock, etc. I wear size 37 in those brands but take a 36 in this brand.They do not offer the same amount of arch support as other comfort/work shoes, but I can still wear these all day and keep my feet happy. This is my 3rd pair of Alegria shoes.

My feet were killing me and I realized I pronated. The rolling heel would be helpful. These shoes are great and so comfy right out of the box. Cute looking but boxy in the toe. Of course this is why they are so comfortable too.

Really happy with these shoes. The pattern is really cute. I was worried from the picture the black would be too light, but they look true black and the pattern is great. It is a wide-looking shoe, so the style doesn't look good with boot cut jeans but they're great with flared leg openings. The sole is stiff and the rocker feel mild, so they're very comfortable and good if you have foot problems. I will be picking up more from this brand.

They are great looking shoes but the size of 9 or 9.5 doesn't work for me. They are not big enough in length but the heel area is not snug enough.

Great pair, but run small. I wear 7.5 and the 37 was a bit tight for me. If you have short toes it may just work for you. Otherwise pretty comfortable shoes.

I like the look of this shoe and I have 4 pairs of Alegria shoes, but these seem to be a little narrow and I would have liked a wide in this shoe but that choice isn't available. My other Alegrias are roomy and sometimes I need to wear socks to keep them snug. I am hoping they will stretch.

I recieved the Alli but were a size to big. I have the classic and had no problems with my normal size 38. Zappos will send out another pair before they get my return. The biggest surprise was they will not charge me for another pair as long as they get my return within two weeks. Nobody does this but Zappos. I was thrilled. I really love the Alegria brand. Not only do I have feet issues but also have server back problems. I need something with good support. Alegria has come to my rescue. I actually feel the pressure being release when I wear these shoes. I am replacing my walking shoes for the Alli. I wear my classic all day and use them for my slippers at night. If you have foot or back issues I highly recommend these shoes. I also want to thank Zappos for such wonder customer service. They have me for a life time customer!

I loved this shoe but after just 6 weeks the out layer began peeling off. As I am a doctor I bought these for work but I just cant wear them looking tattered.

These are the worst shoes I ever bought.The color comes off when you wipe them off with a wet towel. And if its raining my feet get wet through the seams. They were way to high for the quality of the shoe. In the picture in shows a lot of shine. That is all gone.Above all they wear good.

I’m a PT and have worn Alegria’s for years. They have saved my feet! I always get compliments on the great colors too!

My feet LOVE these! I've been through 4 pairs now for work, on my feet long hours. I have plantar fasciitis AND a bone spur on my great toe and these are nice and comfy. Bonus, you can get replacement insoles.

I am a huge fan of the Paloma and Seville styles which I generally wear without socks. I wanted a shoe that I could wear with socks on colder days. The Alli is the perfect answer. Same rocker sole and excellent arch support. It was pure comfort right out of the box - no breaking in period. For cooler weather, this is now my go to shoe. Alegria makes the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. The sole and height varies by style so if you are new to Alegria try a few styles to see which works best for you. After knee surgery, the higher sole of the Paloma, Alli, Seville and Kleo offer the fit and support I need.

I have been dealing with Plantar fasciitis for a couple of years now. I bought this shoe hoping for the support I would need while standing all day. I was overwhelmed with delight because when I step into these shoes there is absolutely no pain! I love the design inlaid on the shoes to make it a little more dressy/personal. I would buy these again without a doubt.

There are few shoes with the support that Alegria has. This is probably my 8th pair, so I am an expert. The embossed leather makes this a softer shoe than the patent leather styles. This is probably my favorite style because I don't have to worry about the color of my socks matching, unlike the Mary Jane styles, which I also love. This is truly the most supportive and comfortable shoe brand I have ever worn. I pretty much have stopped wearing Dansko's when I discovered this brand.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I wore them all theough Europe and never had sore feet even when we walked more than ten miles a day!

I am a pro with these shoes. I probably have 10 pairs of Alegria shoes. This is probably my favorite style because I never have to worry about matching socks like I do with Mary Janes such as the Dayna model. I thought that the burnt leather would be a little strange, but it is very subtle. The best part of the shoe is that this leather feels much softer than the plain leather. Because of that, the break in period is zero. It is instantly comfortable, and is not my favorite shoe.

I love the shoes but this is the first time that I have purchased them in a plain finish and it makes my feet look like Daffy Duck.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've worn. I'm on my feet 10 hours or more, right out of the box I have narrow feet, the fit was fine. I wear a 9. So I sized up to 40 and no problem a little loose in the heel, I can wear thick socks that help,believe me my legs and back are very happy.

I have several different styles of this brand of shoe and would highly recommend them. They are comfortable from the very beginning and supply excellent support for my feet and back.
