Customer Reviews Alegria Playa

Very cute. Lightweight and comfortable right out of the box. I have had both knees replaced and am always looking for a sandal that not only looks good but that I can walk in. These are both. Very flattering on! And a bonus...they don't make a farty noise when I walk! YAY! I love a footbed style sandal but so many of them hit my arch in a way that makes an embarrassing noise when I walk!

Years ago I tried an Alegria clog and gave them away because I did not think they were comfortable. I ordered this Alegria sandal because it was simple, a great color, reviews raved about how comfortable it is--and it could work as both an evening and day sandal for travel--all these things are true! Fabulous looking, and extremely comfortable-- even walking in them all day in San Francisco. I just love them and waiting for black patent to come back in stock in my size so I can order another pair.

I LOVE these sandals! They feel like you are wearing nothing at all! So light weight, and instantly comfortable. I am a size 7.5, and the 37 fits me perfectly. I have been wearing them for the past week now, and a couple of days I was on my feet for most of the day but my feet felt great! I also took a brisk 1.5 mile walk in them, and again, my feet were very comfortable and stable. I've gotten several compliments on the fun sugar skull design. I'm going to Disney this summer, and these are going to be my Disney shoes for sure! They are not real leather and I can't say if they will hold up like all my other Alegria sandals, but I am in love with them and they are a keeper!

Loved this shoe!

I ordered these in two colors and wish there was a navy pair. So comfortable, and I have weird feet that have been through the wringer. Also flattering. I receive many compliments. Love them! Wear them everywhere!

I love Algeria mary janes and shoes, and these sandals are super comfortable with adorable print (I got sugar skulls). If you're looking for the trendiest or coolest shoe - these are probably not it. But they are great for walking around all day, being on your feet a lot while still getting to wear a sandal. I feel like they are a little wider than the average shoe, but it could just be the ergonomic design of the footbed. Both straps are adjustable. Overall these are 5 star shoes.

Great comfort

Love these shoes. I bought the red and have received several compliments. I have wide feet, a bunion on one foot and plantar fasciitis in the other. These shoes were very comfortable. I love that you can easily adjust the straps and having the front one adjustable is a real plus for problem feet like mine. This is the first time in a long time that I have been able to put on a new pair of shoes and not have bunion issues.

The upper band was uncomfortable on my foot, but it's a problem with my foot and not the shoe.

These are so cute and good soles. I so wanted to keep these shoes. I have osteoarthritis in my ankle joint and the strap locations causes too much pain. I would recommend to others looking for a cushioned sandal that's super cute.

Fantastic shoe but chose the red. Would highly recommend

These shoes are so cute and very comfortable. I had to return them, however, because with a very low arch the Velcro strap secured too far down making it poke out and not attractive. The only work around would be to add more Velcro to the shoe itself which is silly with a new shoe. Otherwise, I love these shoes. Darn.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE SHOES!!! I bought the silver and have been so surprised at how much they go with!! Wear them almost everywhere and get so many complements. I have Alegria for all seasons and find that these shoes are VERY different from other styles. But they are still incredibly comfortable, with great support. The Playa is the least expensive style of Alegria, but even so the edges of the shoe could & should be finished better. I wear a size 8 in US sizing and the size 38 in Alegria is true to fit for me. I love the adjustable heel and toe straps. Since I changed to Alegria, my back problems are much better, Plantars Faciitis has gone away and I no longer have painful tingling in my feet at the end of the day. It's like walking on a cloud!!!!

It took me less than 10 seconds to get over the fact that the sole of this shoe reminds me of the shoes Barber wore in the 1960's. I ordered them because I love the Peace Love material. These are without a doubt the most comfortable sandal I have worn in a long time.

Love this shoe! Nice and cushy and good arch support. Exchanging for silver though.

I love the way this shoe felt when I first put it on. I wore it around the house and was very happy. I wore it out shopping and it gave me a blister on my little toe. I'm still thinking I'm going to love this shoe eventually. It is whimsical, but not over the top like many of the alegria styles....in my opinion.

So very cute. Bought these for my 16 year old granddaughter. She loves Alegria shoes.

This sandal was very comfortable but a very different feel than the regular Alegria shoes. I am really happy with the purple color.

Just got these awesome sandals yesterday for my 18 year old daughter. She loves Algeria and she loves these! Even wore them to work last night with black stockings and a denim dress.

Past experience has been that I love the rocker soles and made of minimal slip material, which not the case with these. Was disappointed to find that the insole was not suede and was less cushioned & malleable than the previous sandals I purchased. I think that the straps by little toes will be comfortable. Insole seems to have less arch support. Like the look, though. Hope they are as durable as previous Alegria sandals, shoes and boots. Always purchase size 38, but wear a women's 8 USA.

These shoes are too big on me. I wear an 8 1/2 or 9 and ordered a 39, which I have bought in other shoes, and normally they fit me. These are too long and sloppy feeling when I walk. Even with the velcro I have not found a comfortable setting for me. The unfinished edges on the straps are uncomfortable, I will keep them and try to wear them in because I need a good pair of walking shoes.

I wanted to love these, I wear a size 9 and have severe knee problems. I bought a size 39 and the fit was good, however they were all glittery, I could not tell that in the photo. I did not mind colorful but not glittery. I am 72 and would never wear them. I ordered a brown pair of Alegria;s and am returning these.

Very cute. Had to tighten the straps so far I almost ran out of Velcro. Would need to take it to a cobbler. Most importantly the footbed and sole were very slippery, so I did not keep them.

This sandal fits differently from most Alegrias. I own many traditional pairs of Alegria. This sandal is a full size too long, and the arch isn't aligning with my arch. I'm not sure if ordering a size down will completely fix the problem. There's too much shoe beyond my toes, and the back edge of the front strap digs into the top of my foot when I walk and bend my foot. This shoe is very flexible. None of my other Alegrias are. I've worn their fisherman's sandal for years, and it's my favorite Alegria of the ones I own.
