Customer Reviews Alegria Keli Professional

Hoped this shoe would be as comfortable for my problem feet as it was for others that reviewed, but it was not. Well made and comfortable at first, I stopped wearing this shoe after 2 weeks. Used it in a hospital setting where I am constantly walking. Feet hurt too much to continue wearing daily so I'm searching once again.

I am in love with Alegria shoes. No, they are not the sexiest shoes out there, but for feet with fallen arches and plantar fasciitis, these are truly comfortable shoes. I used to swear by Dansko, but some of their shoes are so heavy. These shoes have a wide toe box and are extremely comfortable right out of the box.

I'm an ER resident & love these shoes! They keep my back happy on the concrete floors of the hospital. I had the Debra version before these & like these much much more. Less dorky looking & more comfy. Also have had various Danskos & love these much more for comfort & I never have to worry about spraining my ankle stumbling out of a call room.

A wonderful shoe! I've purchased two. I am on my feet 8+ hours a day. This is the first shoes that I can wear all day & my feet do not ache or swell. I followed other reviewers suggestions & went a half size larger, I measure a true 7.5, in the Kelli professional I opted for the 38 (8-8.5) Perfect fit! This is the first shoe I have ever owned that I can wear all day right out of the box. Well worth the cost! The only negative was that the embossed on the leather wore quite quickly, but did not effect the shoe otherwise. I purchased the smooth leather fir my second pair.

The most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I have multiple foot issues including high arches, arthritis and occasional severe tendonitis. My orthopedist has recommended wearing rigid soles, or rocker soles and only shoes with good support for metatarsals and arches. I really prefer slip on shoes rather than lace ups and these Alegria Kelis meet all of those requirements. Plus there are so many fun colors and patterns that I do not feel as though I am wearing "orthopedic" shoes. I am in the process of converting my shoe wardrobe to Alegrias (or Naots for dressy shoes) only. Worth every cent to be able to walk normally.

My first experience with this brand. The shoes were uncomfortable at first. They seemed very stiff and not enough cushioning inside. My feet start hurting after several hours working in the restaurant. After several weeks they are more comfortable but feet and legs still hurt by the end of the shift.

Runs very small. My toe was right up against the end. I wear a true 11. There was nowhere to go but return. The style was great...but...

OMG! I'm in love! I am a nurse and needless to say, I spend a lot of time on my feet. I have fallen arches, morton's neuromas, plantar fasciitis and bunions (pathetic, I know...) so GOOD shoes are of high priority to me! I own Dansko's , Nurse mates, New Balance and Klog's but ALGERIA is by far the MOST comfortable shoe I've purchased.With all the aforementioned issues I have with my feet, I can safely consider myself, and my experience with shoes, true litmus for what truly works. Look no further... I wear a 9 but usually go to 9.5 (bunions); purchased these 40 and they fit perfect with breathing room too. I cannot say enough about this brand.

These are my new favorite shoes! I got them when the arthritis in my feet was acting up and found that they provided great support. I love the cork insoles, no need to wear my orthotics. I used to wear Danskos but like the comfort of these much more and they are better for walking. They are not quite as stylish as I would ideally like, but the wine color and embossed leather definitely help the cute factor.

In my opinion the Alegria" Keli Professional"was more rigid then the Alegria Keli which I preferred. In the end I returned both both pairs of Keli and kept the Eryn which I preferred for the heel height.

I usually wear Dansko's in a size 39. I normally wear a 9 1/2 but sometimes I have to play around with UK sizes.. With these Alegira's I had to size up to a 40. I suffer from Morton's Neuroma and these shoes have a wider toe box which helped my foot with the neuroma feel much much better! I was leery of the memory foam which was a part of the liner, thinking it would be to soft, but these are super comfy with the stability your foot needs. I can easily add my ProKinetic Insole without any discomfort and can stand and walk all day without any lower back issues and my neuroma is pain free.

As a school nurse, I"m on my feet all day long. LOVE the support of these shoes. Got a size larger than normal, based on other reviews. Ended up returning and getting my usual size.

I love the Keli Professional shoe. The only issue that I have with this shoe is the cosmetic aspect. I work in the hospital and wear these shoes everyday. All wear on these shoes shows after a short period of time as it has a metallic covering that easily removed....as said, due to wear. Please consider this before purchase if you plan to wear them in a hospital setting.

Runs small! I am a true 6 1/2 and can sometimes wear 7 depending on the shoe, like if it were a hiking boot or something. Anyways, I bought a 36 because it is suppose to fit 6- 6 1/2 and that is what was recommended after I calculated my size. Well, the 36 was too small. My toes would hit the front of the shoe when I walked and after wearing them for a day, my arches hurt. I exchanged for a 37 and now they fit great and are super comfortable. The only thing is, now my heels slides up a bit when I walk, but it doesn't bother me too much. I work in dental, so I'm not walking a lot, I stand more than walk. So the 36 fits a true size 6. So if you are a half size person, I say go up a size.

These shoes look great, and I bet they're great for the long hours I log on my feet as a nurse. The 40 size was considerably smaller than a US10, more like a US9.

These shoes didn't hold up well at all. The black wipes off, and the soles are getting smooth after 7 mths, and also the sole has come unglued now. This was a waste of money for shoes that are supposed to be lifetime guaranteed. What a disappointment these are, as the pics will show.

love these - comfortable and nonslip, great for working in a brewery, AND I get a ton of complements on them as well!!

Definitely suggest a half to a full size larger. But they are so so comfortable and cute. I recieve so many compliments on them.

Loved the shoe, but this style should be ordered one size up. my "Alegria" size is usually 37 and normally 7.5, but my toes hit the end in these. Should have ordered a 38.

I purchased a pair of these at a local department store. The selection was much better here. The sizing is pretty true and the shoes are so comfortable. Being on a concrete floor daily, my feet do not hurt with these shoes. Only two pairs are not enough.

Based on other reviews I sized up and i'm glad I did. These were comfortable from the get go. I was able to wear them comfortably for my twelve hour shifts while I was on my feet the whole time. They had a one year shelf life. One year almost to the day, The bottom of my feet suddenly started hurting and I realized it was related to the shoe breakdown, although not visually apparent. I'm ordering another pair.

Comfortable & even better after the arch supports break in (like one day). I have these in two colors, my go-to work shoe (hospital).

My favorite work shoes (ER). They are great out of the box & even better as they mold to your feet over time. About to order another pair in a different color.

I have several pair of Alegria shoes. I tried a different size and it was too big. In my opinion, Alegria shoes are great for troubled feet :)
