I already have a pair of these and love them. So I decided to order them again. When they arrived this time, the pattern on each shoe was different and the two shoes fit completely differently as if one was all stretched out. I'm going to try to reorder them and see what happens.

First time I ordered my regular size 8-8.5 but they were too small. So later on, I ordered 9-9.5 and they did fit much better, however, the right foot kept slipping out of the shoe while my left foot did not. They also look big on me compared to me skinny/ short build and my regular shoes. I might have to return them because I just not sold due to fitting/sizing issues.

Love the look and the fit. The only problem is that the shoes were different colors. The right shoe has more white in the background. The left shoe had a distinct darker tint to the background. I know they will have different design pattern, but they truly looked like a missed matched pair.

I have several pairs of Alegria, and they have been a favorite of mine. But I have almost no arches, and Alegrias are inconsistent with their footbed: both the Pesce and this one have failed to give me the support I need. Otherwise, they are cushy and comfortable. Invariably too wide for me, even with thick socks. I would be a far more loyal customer of Algeria if they would just make narrow sizes.

These are beautiful shoes, however I ordered a whole size larger and they are still too short and if you have a high instep like I do, beware. I normally wear an 8.5 but when it comes to running shoes I'm used to ordering a 9 or 9.5. I ordered a 39 (9-9.5) and these are too short. I'm going to try the 40 though.

I really wished these had worked for me. They are super cute and super light. My mom's friend recommended them to me. They have no arch support. I have high arches and am suffering from really bad plantar fasciitis and painful heel spurs. These seem like they would have been perfect to help with the pain, if they had only had arch support. My mom's friend said that you have to break them in for a bit in order for it to conform to your foot better. But with my feet issues I need my shoe to work from the get-go. If they ever offer a high arch option in their inserts, I will happily try this brand again.

The sizing chart is incorrect. Very disappointing as I really liked the shoes. Zappos does not carry the next size up. I ordered the 39 which according to the sizing chart states its for 9-9 1/2. Shoe was too small and snug.

This is a beautiful shoe and looks very well made, but even the wide width is too narrow.

I like fun and interesting put the design on these turned out to be a little much. The shoe was also rather stiff, so I had a hard time telling if it would be comfortable in the long run. I have a wide foot and a high arch and I think these mostly fit.

Alegria, what happened to the arch support? I like these shoes and the non-slip feature is great, but people who are on their feet all day need support. The Kayla's appear to have the same footbed as regular Alegrias, but the arch support is just not there. At all. I put in an arch support and it made the shoe tolerable. They also are pretty narrow. I got a wide width and will only be able to wear very thin socks -- and my feet are not that wide. So...if you need the arch support, do not buy this shoe.

I got these because I work on my feet all day and my knees and feet had been feeling it. The shoes Felt ok at first but after a few hours they really hurt my feet. Felt like I'd been walking all day with no cushion at all. However, my knees no longer hurt and my sore feet are fine once have the shoes off for an hour or two. My knees used to hurt so bad they kept me up at night so overall the shoes were worth the money.

I have tried several pairs of Alegrias. This time I ordered a wide. They must make their shoes for skinny feet. Unfortunately, it seems none of the Alegria shoes work for my feet which need a wide toe box.

I bought these to wear in the operating room. Overall, the support was too firm and amounted to a hard walking and (especially) standing surface. Not only that, but they did not hold up well and started looking shabby fast. They were relatively expensive and I will not be buying them again. I cannot recommend them.

I wanted so badly to love these shoes as I am working in the operating room, but they have absolutely killed my feet. They compress the top of my foot to the point I have stabbing pains through my toes. Disappointed because the soles are so cushiony and comfortable.

I ordered the "Gravy" color in a size 39. The size chart says that the 39 is equivalent to a Woman's size 9-91/2. I have ordered European sizes before and have learned that they always fit smaller than expected. I usually take an 8 1/2 so I expected these to fit but they were still too short. My heel couldn't even get into the shoe. Which brings up the idea that I expected I would be able to slide these right on and quickly go and really you can't because there is an actual lip on the heel so there they do have to fit your foot just right. They are also very heavy and hard so because of this I returned them.

Cute but not as brightly colored as I expected from the website picture. Also were WAY too big, even thought i ordered the usual european size I always do. Cute, but not for me. And, One shoe was a lot larger than the other.

I've struggled trying to find a pair of Alegria shoes that work for me. I ordered at least a dozen and not a single one worked for me. This one included. The sizing is just off for my foot. They're either too big or too small and the suede insole sadly works against my socks yanking them tightly around my toes. Why did I try pair after pair, failure after failure, because they are darn comfortable. If you can find them to fit you and are able to slide them on and off easily, then you will probably love them. I'm a medium to A width 8.5 and typically a 39 in Euro sizing, but neither the 38 nor the 39 worked in any of the Alegria models.

I thought this shoe would be a fun one to wear, because of the colors. Unfortunately, it comes too far up on my foot and rubs with every step. I should probably have ordered it in a half size larger, although that tends to affect the arch support.

I found these clogs incredibly uncomfortable. I was excited that they are lightweight, slip-resistant and stylish. However, I had to rate them a 1 star for comfort. I have been a nurse for over 10 years and I am constantly on my feet. I am very disappointed with Alegria - for this price I expect comfort to last my entire shift. Instead, after an hour or two my legs are already tired and my feet are sore. Unfortunately I have worn them so they cannot be returned. Buyer beware.

The left shoe seemed much smaller than the right. So much so that I even checked to see if I had the right size. Returned.

This is my third pair of Alegria shoes. The Paloma and the sandal were perfect fits and extremely comfortable. This one was a poor fit and not comfortable at all. It's going back, sad to say.
