The Alegria Danya Professional is a great shoe. The size/width & arch are super comfortable. I have fun listening to people's comments about the look of the shoes. I own 4 pair of the Alegria Paloma and one of the Dayna and all the shoes are of the highest comfort. I am almost 70 yrs. young and love the look of all of my Alegria shoes. I'm very active, work at an elementary school and could not get through my days without my Alegria shoes. Also Zappo's has the best customer service! My daughter is a nurse and owns about 8 pair, she loves them all...

These shoes are amazing! I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse and I have tried Danskos, Sanitas & running shoes. I can typically make it through an 8 hour shift without any issues in the other brands but if I work a 12 hour shift my feet and back are sore. A fellow nurse recommended the Alegrias so I figured I would give them a try, they are a dream! My back and feet do not hurt after a 12 hour shift. I wear a 40 in Dansko and Sanita clogs so I bought a 39 and 40 in the Alegrias and the 39 fit, the 40 was too big. That said, I have narrow, flat feet so that may have made the difference for me. Either way, I highly recommend these shoes.

I love these shoes. I work as a Med Tech so I am on my feet a great deal in the hospital laboratory. I already have the Paloma in Sangria Red Patent and they are very comfortable but I wanted the versatility of the brown leather. I can work a 12 hour shift in these and my feet are never hurting when I get home. I wear a 7 1/2 to an 8 in regular shoes and a 37 in Danskos. I had to get a 38 in these so they do run a bit small. You will have tons of toe room and lots of arch support, I'd recommend them to anyone who craves comfort.

I'm a former Dansko wearer. The Alegria shoe is much more comfortable in my toe area, where the Dansko's pinched and rubbed. I can easily wear this shoe for 12 hours and even find myself walking faster. It's not the most beautiful shoe, but I'm a convert when it comes to comfort.

Maybe it's just me but these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn...so I have more than one pair. I'm thrilled with the variety of colors and I love dealing with Zappos.

These are the best shoes I've ever worn! I'm a 54 year old big girl (300lbs) who is very active. As you might guess, I give my feet and legs a real work out when I'm on the go. These shoes have great support and the rocker bottom makes me glide instead of waddle! One of my coworkers weighs in at about 99 lbs soaking wet and she loves hers too! So big or small...if you're a gal on the go...these shoes are a great investment!

I love these! I have a few pairs of Dansko's and I like these a lot better. The sole is not as high so I do not feel like I am going to fall like I do in my Dansko's. I wear these on a 12 hour shift and they are great feeling the entire time. Thanks to Zappos I got mine the day after I ordered them!

This shoe is beautiful and the soles are terrific, but unfortunately I could not find my size. I found the shoe too narrow as well as too short. Why can't good quality shoes like these be made in additional sizes - like women's 11Wide/12 Wide?

Very comfortable shoe. I ordered a size larger than I normally wear because my size was out, and I had to return them because they were too big-my foot slipped out when I walked. Standing still, they were great. I have the Paloma in 2 different colors and love them. Thank you Zappos for great service.

Super comfortable, and a wonderful alternative to the Dansko clogs, which I repeatedly twisted my ankle. Very stable, rocker sole. Adjustable strap accommodates my narrow instep, and the toe box is nice and wide, so there's no pinching. As someone else mentioned, on one of the shoes I get a little rubbing or pressing from the metal closure, but it's nothing I can't ignore.

These are comfortable with a cute twist on a Mary Jane. The bronze color works well with khakis or darker tans/browns. I normally wear an 8 (sometimes 7.5) and these fit great. Warning: I have narrow feet and these fit well -- so not sure they would work if you're feet are wide at all.

Finally, a shoe that is going to work. Been a cosmetologist for 35 years and have had such a hard time finding shoes lately, but these are so cute and there are many to choose from. Thanks! I usually wear a 9 1/2 but got a 10 - more toe room.

I love these shoes and I love the all day comfort they give. I can run in them...literally...to a code blue that is, and I am pretty fast in them. I am so addicted to this shoe that I can't even think of another I would even think about. Funny thing is a nurse told me about this shoe and it took forever, a year, plus my plantar fasciitis to hurt like like heck for me to buy them...but now I have 3 pair and I am so happy. Happy dance, happy dance! Just because I can. Ha! The Dayna is a little more snug than the Paloma and because I don't have wide feet I prefer these. I am thankful I have two Dayna's. Oh, and did I mention they are prettier in person The Paloma are for the wider foot, I think? The fit/size: Order in the Europe size of Dansko's, worked for me. I'm a size 40 in Dansko and the same in these. The bronze is true to light bronze in color. The black pat, is my fav!

THEY STRETCH!!! You should know that - for me these shoes felt tight, especially in the toe box. The insole is very thick and I was concerned that they were too small, but I read elsewhere that they would stretch, and they did after only a day of wear. Now they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. I wear them to work as a chef and I think these are the most attractive kitchen shoes I've found so far. They are also easier to walk in than Dansko clogs - I find that outside of the kitchen, I am prone to turning my ankle when wearing the clogs. These shoes are closer to the ground and feel more safe for my ankles.

I love the look and comfort of this shoe. The only thing that is a little uncomfortable (for only one of my feet) is that the metal ring where the strap folds back pushes in a little bit on the top of my foot. Other than that, I love these shoes!

I really like these shoes. I bought them because I've been having sharp pain on the ball of my foot. My insurance doesn't cover orthopedic insoles so I thought, Hmmm, out of pocket for medical insoles or cute, new shoes!" Obviously I opted for the shoes and good decision. It looks like the brand started out specializing in work shoes for people on their feet all day and appearance is a luxury, but I'm an office gal and have worn them with skirts, jeans, and black trousers. They are uber comfortable, well constructed, and I've gotten several compliments on the style. Call about the size, they were a full size smaller than other European brands. Highly recommend!

I bought both the Paloma and the Dayna to see which one I liked better because this is the first time I have strayed away from Dansko, I have to say this show has really good arch support but it felt very large, I wear a 40 in Dansko and I bought a 40 in both shoes, but the Dayne felt very big, my foot kept slipping out of the back, but the Paloma it fit perfect. I love the color of the Paloma so once again, appearance made my decision and I ended up sending the Dayna back.

After splitting the seams of countless pairs of shoes, thanks to my wide toes, I finally found a pair of shoes I'm certain will actually wear out. I am on my feet all day, running after kids in a school, and my feet feel great...just enough cushioning and support. The rocker front means I'm not scuffing the toe, as I usually do. I'm saving up for another pair!

This is a super cute shoe! I have three pairs of the Paloma's, and needed just a bit of variety in style. they are slip resistant, so they have some stick. There is a comfort lip in the back. The only problem was that I went with a 38 because my Paloma's fit big (I normally wear a 39) and they were too small. Exchanging them for the larger size and all will be fine. So these actually feel true to size, but if you have the Paloma style you may want to order a size larger in the Dayna.

I so wanted these shoes, and have 5 other pairs of Alegria's Paloma. Decided to try the day and by the end of my shift my feet were screaming! They hurt so bad, I have to return them. :( Good for bunion free feet. Or narrow feet. I am returning and sticking with Paloma!
