Customer Reviews Alegria Playa

Comfy & Cute

I absolutely love these sandals! I'm 42 years old and have bad feet (plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toes and arthritis in heel of my foot). These are so comfortable! It feels like I'm walking on a cloud. Highly recommend!!! Algerias size chart said I wore a 37 and they were too small. Wear a 38 in these and I'm a size 7.5.

Incredible sandals. Velcro straps adjust to width. Sole is solid, but lightweight and bouncy. Arch support is superb. Because of the design, they bend unlike most Alegria models. Wear between an 8.5 and 9 with normal width and the fit of the 39 was perfect. Straps feel a little stiff but soften up nicely after an hour of wear.

These sandals are very comfortable EXCEPT the edging on the toe strap is raw and sharp. Gave me a blister very soon after wearing them the first time. Edge needs to be finished better.

LOVE ZAPPOS! I must say that these are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever put on my long skinny feet. The Velcro really helps with the skinny part. Here comes the but: the first pair that I ordered arrived damaged. Not a big deal except that it was very obvious that these shoes had already been previously retuned by another customer as they arrived with the sole almost broken in half and a tear in the leather near the instep PLUS these issues were marked by the previous customer with hot pick sticky notes!!! Why these shoes were returned to stock is beyond me. Zappos immediately made things right, like they always do, and sent another pair. My feet were in heaven for a few weeks!!! But then the leather strap near the instep started to tear just like the first pair that I received. It actually ripped all the way through as I was walking down the street. Thank goodness I bought them from Zappos. This pair was returned and as much as I LOVED these shoes I didn't order another pair for fear of the same problem. This was my first pair of Alegria shoes and I thought I had hit the jackpot of comfort but now I'm leary of this brand. Not Zappos fault at all, Alegria's fault.

So comfortable I want to sleep with them in.Im put them on as soon as I took them out if the box.My only complaint is when I ordered mine 2 days ago they were like $60 or $62 and today they are less then $50!!!

I have another pair of Alegrias which I never have been able to wear comfortably. These are the exact opposite (thankfully). Comfy right out of the box. The silver patent is a nice neutral and these are so lightweight I almost forget I’m wearing them. Great arch support too. Awesome sandal!

Very cute, but definitely too big - in length and very wide. The insole is hard plastic, not as cushioned as Alegria Verona sandal.

My all-time favorite sandals. I have several colors, but this one is my favorite because it goes with so much.

These sandals are very comfortable and give lots of support. The silver dresses them up a bit, i.e. I can wear these to my dentist's office as well as for exercise. I should mention this: I bought the identical style / brand / size on a *different* web site, not Zappos, in black, and the velcro did not hold. In fact, it was dangerously loose, and I kept tripping, but it was too late to return them. The pair from ZAPPOS, however, has worked very well and feels good on the smoother NYC sidewalks. And my feet are very difficult to fit because of an ENORMOUS bunion, the size of a cantaloupe, but the velcro makes it possible for both left and right shoes to fit well and feel comfortable.

Great sandal! A very light and flexible shoe. The velcro straps allow a perfect fit for anyone.

The fit was perfect - the sandals felt amazing! BUT these come up when I search "rocker bottom" and unfortunately they do not have a rocker bottom. The bottom was sadly too flexible for my feet. Otherwise, they are so comfortable - I was so sad to have to return them.

Fit and size were perfect. I measure 9 1/2 and bought the 9 1/2-10. These are without a doubt like walking on air. They have won my praises for the most comfortable shoe out there. For those with peripheral neuropathy, this brand is a great choice. Alegria will be my go to brand from here on in. These shoes are stylish and adorable and offer the comfort I need. I finally found the perfect shoe. Kudos and accolades to ALEGRIA!!!!!!!

I'm an art teacher, so i'm always looking for fun and super comfortable. This was my first try with Alegria brand (I stick with Dansko and Chacos), but it was a good sale, so I went for it. Well, when I pulled them out of the box, I thought, OH NO. And my husband said, ' Hideous'. But I tried them on and they actually look super cute on the feet- up close the colors and design is obnoxious, but we don't wear shoes on our noses, so... Anyway. They were so stupid comfortable, I kept them on all night- even when I was sitting and relaxing in front of the tv. They just made my feet feel goooood. I'm a huge fan of them and I have gotten compliments when I wear them, too. Husband hasn't changed his mind, though. LOL.

The straps were not padded and hit me in a sensitive spot. The foot beds are thick and cushioned which I really liked. Also the print was lovely. However, comfort outweighed beauty and I returned them.

The footbed was very comfortable and padded. The straps have no padding and hit at a sensitive spot on my feet. They were very pretty but I had to send them back.

Really comfortable shoe. Perfect fit. Really nice cushion on hard surfaces. I am exchanging for a different finish because I’m not a fan of the patent leather look the silver black shoe has. I am getting the less shiny shoe same size. Same style.

Size and fit are absolutely perfect. I wear 7.5 and ordered sz 37. I always do. There was no break-in. I took them out of the box and went out shopping at the mall all afternoon. They were great and were comfortable the entire time. I'm searching for the other colors so I can have more.

Great buy. I sweat a lot. So these synthetic insoles are a must in summer.

These are the first shoes that I can wear comfortably for hours. No discomfort whatsoever. Good arch support, lots of cushion on our hard stone floors, adjustable, and cute. Love them.

I love these sandals. Very comfortable. I have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable and allow me to walk. These are an answer to prayer.

The playa. Where do I begin? They are soft leather, supportive sandals that I swear helped correct the extreme pain I had due to Plantar Fasciitis while still enjoying wearing somewhat professional sandals in the summer. They work on my wide toe box and high instep while keeping my foot secure in the shoe. I can walk miles across campus in these and not feel the pain I felt in other shoes. I have these in 3 colors and am looking for more. LOVE the playa and some of the other Alegria shoes!

I have problem feet that seem to get worse the older I get. Algeria has always been a favorite of mine, but now even more so. These shoes are cute and comfortable.

Once you know your size in Algeria you won't have to second guess on any style with this company -keep in mind they are the European sizing and rarely have 1/2 sizes so I go up rather than down which makes them run generous. Comfort is always like walking on a cloud. Although they are trying to change this my biggest issue with this company is the black foot bed on almost all their shoes and I also don't care for most of their patterns but that is just a personal preference.

Cute sandals, but the best part is the velcro strap makes the front half adjustable, which is great for those with very slim feet.
