I have several different colors of this style. I wear them almost everyday. They are incredibly comfortable. I have a wide foot and usually wear a size 9. In Algeria I wear a size 40. I’ve tried 39 but they are too short on me. Hope that helps.

Stumbled upon Alegria while looking for a good shoe for problem feet. I have heel spurs and Achillies Tendonitis. These have a removable footbed but I just use them rather that swap them out. These are lower than some styles Alegria puts out. They are not too stiff; have a wide front end even in its regular width. I typically wear a 9.5 so purchased a 40. Fit great!

What fun shoes! I wear a size 37 Regular in Birkenstocks and, despite the fact that Birkenstock calls their size 37 a '6 - 6.5' and Alegria calls their 37 a '7 - 7.5', the 37 fits. It is also wide enough in the regular, which is good, as it doesn't come in wide. I was hoping it was a wider shoe. I marked that they are true to size, as they are not so short I can't wear them, but they do feel a little shorter than I expected...especially as I wear a 6.5 - 7 in most shoes...I don't think this would work for someone who was a 7.5. They are cute in an odd sort of way. I got one of the sparkly pattens and, I gotta tell you, it makes me smile. Heading on a long trip in a few weeks; these are going to be the airport shoes. The two-way velcro is a quick on/off, and they are very, very comfortable for walking. Should work well.

These shoes are so cute. They are also very comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis, and this brand seems to help. I wear an 8.5 and a 39 fits me well.

I own about 10 pair of Alegria, the Paloma, Belle and Kleo sandals. Every time, the same size fits perfectly. I do love the look of these with the lighter sole. And I needed another pair like I need a hole in the head! But couldn't pass up the sale price. I recommended Alegria to a friend who now ons more than me! We both wear them for walks insead of sneakers. I tend to trip in sandals, so wear my Belle shoes for my 2 mile walks. With the fronts tipped up I don't have that fear of tripping. At 75, that's frightening. LOVE LOVE LOVE Alegria!!! When I went to PT for neck problems one of the therapists saw my shoes and yelled out to everyone "Those ae the shoes I keep telling all of you to get. They help the back, feet and hips!" I don't know about all that, all I know is I wore 1 pair of my Belle style Alegria for 2 weeks straight in Italy in June over many bumpy walkways, and never had any feet problems. I wear a 10 1/2 and buy a 41 in every style. Perfect.

These are beautiful shoes and I so wanted them to work. I wear a 7 1/2 to an 8 and ordered size 38. They were too big so reordered them in size 37 which were too small. Regrettably I had to return both pairs. Customer service is superb, my reorder arrived quickly, and the return process was very easy with a fast refund. I highly recommend Zappos.

I was hoping that the rocker bottom would make the shoe stiffer which is what I need for my foot injury. They are probably comfortable and nicely flexible for the person with normal feet!

I just ordered these yesterday afternoon, and these arrived already today. LOVE ZAPPO'S! I have Paloma and love them but the tan YeeHaa style just didn't fit right. So ordered these and they're a keeper, in my usual size 41. I can wear them, and Paloma in a 41, with or without socks and they're super comfortable. These do have a different feel than Paloma, my preferred style, but they still have the great arch I need and cushioned support. Just went through PT for a weak ankle and the therapist said she's always recommending Alegria. Not cheap but worth every single dollar. This is a lighter shoe than the Paloma and still so cute. Love the Mary Jane's. Since the 41 in the Paloma YeeHaw didn't fit I ordered a 41 and 42 in this. The 41 fit perfectly, as usual. Thank you Zappo's for your great return policy.

I love these shoes. These are amazingly cute and comfortable, which seems to be a hard combo to find. I was able to wear them right out of the box with no issues and no break in time. They are slightly on the wide side, so if you have really narrow get you may have issues. I had to order a large size than recommended by Zappos. (I generally wear an 8.5 or 9 friending on the shoe, and with these I had to go with the 39. The 38 was way too tight on the top of my foot.)
These are great shoes and I will be wearing them as much as possible!

I have 5 pair of Alegria shoes. This is the first time I have tried the Belle.
Because the buckle does not completely open, it is not a good fit for someone with a high instep. However I rate the Alegria brand a 5 overall.

I was really excited to try these, I've heard great things about this brand and have a really hard time finding shoes. I have a high instep, narrow heel and normal forefoot and a host of foot problems. These were too wide for me, and a little too roomy in general. I will say, they were incredibly supportive. If you have high arches these are worth a try!

I love these shoes! I have arthritis in the joints on top of my foot and needed shoes that do not put any pressure on that area. The strap on some brands of Mary Jane shoes is irritating, but the strap on the Alegria Belle does not touch my problem area and is very comfortable. The wide toe box is another plus. I got the regular width, which is just right for my somewhat wide feet. These shoes would likely be too wide for anyone with narrow feet. I wear a 7 in athletic shoes, and the 37 fits perfectly. Arch support is good for me, and the insole has just the right combination of both cushioning and firmness. The insole is removable for anyone who wears custom orthotics. To add to all these positive attributes, they are cute in a funky kind of way. The Black Swirl leather has a nice, subtle pattern. The shoes did squeak on my tile floors, so much so that I seriously considered returning them, but they are so comfortable that I decided to keep them anyway. To my delight, once I wore them outdoors on concrete, the soles became less slick and no longer squeak at all. I will definitely be buying Alegria sandals next summer.

I've always liked these shoes for comfort. I wanted a pair that I could wear for a trip to the East coast in September and would go into fall well. These are just right. A good fall color. I don't have an arch problem so I can't comment on that.

Super comfortable....could use a bit more room in the toe area. Also, would like to see it with a more rounded toe, not a wedge shape. Cute shoe, though, and great comfort!

These are the best shoes for working retail I've found. I spend 8 hours walking on cement floors and needed something trendier than the classic Alegria rocker shape. They do end up squeaking after a while, but lifting the insoles and spraying them with silicone lubricant worked to stop it.

I've been wearing nothing but Algerias to work for the past 5 years, and the new ones that I order seem to be running smaller.

Loved the shoe and the color, grid blue. My Dayna sz 42 are too big, so I ordered and 41 in the belle. Way too small. Had to return, got a different color as the grid blue was not available in sz 42.I got raked garden sz 42 in the belle. It is narrower and shorter than than sz 42 in Dayna. But I think they'll work, as other reviews have said they give as they are broken in and the sole molds to the foot. Wish the sizes weren't so inconsistent from style to style. But these are great shoes for my plantar faciitis and also my kness as I've had knee replacement. As ALWAYS, so very pleased with zappos!!!
They are my favorite go-to for shoes.

I own Alegria Belle in many colors and patterns. The shoes are so comfortable and there is plenty of room for my toes. I wear a size 5.5 and Alegria size 35 fits perfectly.
