Customer Reviews Alegria Belle

This is my second pair of Alegria shoes. I need them for work, being on my feet all day. Fully comfortable, I do replace the insoles about every 120 days or so. Highly recommend.

I loved these shoes, but they were the biggest size that Alegria makes in wide and they still hurt my bunion and hammertoe feet! I hate to return them but I must do so! If only a size 12W was available...

I get compliments on the great style of these shoes whenever I wear them. Great comfort. Just about perfect for anytime you expect to do a lot of walking.

Fabulous shoe! Looks and feels great. On the wide side, but I compensate with thicker socks. A wonderful shoe for someone who has to be on her feet most of the day but still wants to sport a bit of style.

Wonderful fit, stylish and comfortable. I'm on my fit all day, had developed bunions and thankfully, this shoe has relieved me.

I love these shoes. Comfortable the first day I wore them. I have wide feet and have learned to settle for painful work shoes. No more, life is good.

These were super comfy right out of the box. My feet are very happy. I have a hard time finding comfortable shoes that are appropriate to wear in a business casual environment, but I work in a hospital and these are pretty well accepted. They are the cutest Alegrias I've ever seen and I they are the most comfortable shoes I own. LOVE THEM and hoping to find another cute pair of Alegrias soon!

These shoes are extremely comfortable. I normally require a D width and these felt fine. The style is quite chunky. Cute rather than dressy.

I have been looking for quite awhile for a pair of shoes for work other than tennis shoes. I am an RN and on my feet a lot for my job. I read the reviews of many many shoes and chose the Alegria Belle because of a couple things that were mentioned. First the shoe is great for support. I also have problems with plantar faciitis and it was mentioned in one of the reviews that this helped someone. Also it tends to run a bit wide which is such a plus for me since my feet are wide. I wear a size 6 and need wide which is always a hard find in shoe stores. Once I got the shoes I was interested to see how well they would do. I have been wearing for 3 weeks now to work and what a difference in my feet throughout the day from day one. I have even wore them out other than work because they look great. The shoe gives great support. I have not had any problems with plantar faciitis since I began wearing them and they felt comfortable from the first day. They are wide enough from the first time on and don't have that pinched feeling until the shoes "stretches". The shoes look great, feel great to wear and are very light in comparison to others I have tried. I like of look of them and they seem very well made.They easily wipe off and keep their appearance. I also loved the quickness of Zappos delivery and guarantee. I definitely will be buying more. I am thankful that others took the time to write their reviews to help me in my choice of a new shoe.

Love this shoe! Looks funky and not frumpy,but comfortable for walking. I have bad knees and heel issues and this shoe lets me walk with minimal discomfort. Very good arch support also.

These are excellent shoes. I purchased the Dessert Essence and the Chocolate Embossed Brown color and they are both gorgeous. I am on my feet all day and I wore them for the first time today. They were super comfortable on day one and totally cute. Not a single discomfort or complaint. I highly recommend these shoes. They are totally worth the price. Also, I am a size 8½ and purchased the 38 size and they are perfect. Go for it, these are totally worth it. The Dessert Essence color is super cute! They are not gaudy or overpowering with shimmer. Beautiful colors with a subtle shimmer.

I love these shoes! They are so so cute - the "California" style of Alegrias is so chic and fun - and so unique since I am over in North Carolina! I got the "metal rain" pattern and the shoes are so attractive - I love the iridescent look of the material. I wear a size 10 in U.S. size and a 41 in Alegrias. At first I ordered the "40" since Zappos has a 40 converting to a 10. However they were a little snug. I decided I would exchange them for one size up and was hopeful since I wear a 41 in Danskos. Zappos' exchange process went great. They had me go on and order the second pair the same day I got the first pair at no charge to me and then I sent back the first pair (however you do give a credit card number to them so that they can charge you for the second pair if they don't receive the first ones back within a certain frame of time). Very good deal! Also, the shoes are very comfortable mainly because the foot bed is so substantial and stable. As a teacher, comfortable is such a coveted characteristic in shoes. I will get more of these shoes!

I have purchased 3 pairs of Alegria shoes: 1 Dayna and 2 Belle. I am on my feet CONSTANTLY for at least 8 hrs a day. I am 61 yrs old. These are more comfortable and attractive than any shoe I have ever owned. I have had expensive orthotics, tried light weight running shoes with different insoles etc. I am 5'3" and weigh 157 lbs :-( I deal with the public every day and feel very confident (not dowdy or unfashionable) with my Alegrias!

These were by far the cutest comfort shoes I've tried on (and I've tried on a LOT, need some comfortable enclosed shoes for a trip to Italy). The toe box felt great and they seemed very well constructed. I have a bunion and corns and there was no problem. Unfortunately, my heel is somewhat narrow compared to the rest of my foot, and it slipped in this shoe. I needed to strap them on pretty tight, which was uncomfortable while walking around the house. They are also pretty stiff on the bottom and make a slapping sound, but that might break in after awhile. I wish I could have kept them, but the Obeo Spring with an Obeo insert was more comfortable.

After searching long and tediously for a stiff soled shoe that was also comfortable and non-binding after my foot surgery, I found Alegria! This is my first purchase of this brand and I have to say it's cute, gives my toes wiggle room, the rocker bottom improves my stride and the adjustable strap was just what I needed when I had to start wearing a ankle brace. I'll be making another purchase of this brand in the near future.

First of all, I love my ballet flats. When I lived in TN and did not walk long distances in dress shoes, I had on flats all the time. I just moved to DC a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, after a week of walking to and from the metro and about town, I was in pain. I had been told awhile ago that I needed arch support, but it had not been an issue before. Well, I ordered several pairs of various brands, and Alegria was by far the most supportive and comfortable. They fall just one step below tennis shoes. Now, mind you... they aren't the cutest things in the world. But I would say the 'belle' is the best option if you need support and have a wide foot. The heel on this style is lower than the other styles that I tried, which makes it more natural to walk in. But don't mistake that for less support. There was no break in time. I've worn them several days in a row (12,000ish steps per day, according to pedometer) and no pain.

These shoes are so comfortable! I have issues with flat feet and overpronation and I never have pain when I wear these shoes. The only issue is they can be squeaky but it's not that bad and I don't mind the squeak when they help my feet feel so much better!

Incredibly comfortable and supportive.They run about a half size too small. Arrived in like-new condition. Favorite shoes!

It took a day or two to get used to these shoes. In fact, I got a blister on my right heel that bled on my socks and in the shoe. I thought I would have to have a heel protector. However, I simply started wearing socks that covered feet and ankles, and that seemed to take care of the problem. I haven't had any problems with rubbing since, and I have been wearing these shoes to work every day for weeks now. These are by far the most comfortable, quality work shoes that I have worn in years - maybe ever. I wish I had known about Alegria much, much sooner. They aren't just for nurses - they are for anyone who needs a cute and comfortable shoe to give support throughout the day. The only thing I might change is the Velcro, which I'm not too crazy about. I'd rather have snaps. And my heel tends to be really narrow (hence the rubbing and blistering) while my toe box maxes out to make me have duck feet. These shoes really help with that because they have a nice comfy toe box. They are a bit snug for me at a size which I thought would be plenty roomy, so it might be good to order a size up if you're unsure.

I love my Alegrias. I have tried all kinds of shoes and the Belle is the best. I worked three jobs at one time, tried lots of different kinds. Nothing compares to these shoes. I had so much trouble out of my feet, legs, and lower back I went to the podiatrist and paid a lot for useless inserts that killed my feet even worse. I would recommend these to everyone. I work for the school system, on concrete. I can tell you for sure that these shoes are wonderful! Within two days of wearing them I had no more pain! My husband just bought his first pair and I know that he will love them.

They are just too cute I have a broken toe that never healed properly so a lot of shoes make it painful but not these. They feel good on. I am in love with the price. It was a great deal. Hopefully there are more to come at that price.

I am really happy with these shoes so far. My arch support AND heel orthotics fit perfect and best of all they don't hit my toes on the side at all! I have wide feet and bad ankles, plantar fasciitis, and need a knee replacement. These are stable enough and still cute.

I am an educator. Walking on hard school floors for 8 hours causes my feet a great deal of pain. This shoe helped to alleviate my foot pain. I have had several compliments. The shoe is cute. My only issue is with sizing. I should've ordered my true size.

Very beautiful, and comfy shoes. I love this brand, it is like they are molded to my feet. I am on my feet all day, and no more back, or knee pain. You really have to try Alergia shoes, you will not regret this purchase!
