Customer Reviews Alegria Duette

I ordered the “cultivate” design. The length & toe box width were true to size. I loved the lower profile & really wanted them to fit but the elastic band across the top of my foot was too tight on the right foot the one that was operated on). These will probably be okay for those who have not had any surgeries! Great support & I do not have a high arch.

I bought 3 different Alegria styles, all in size 39. NONE worked with my fluffy winter socks; not only because they were too tight, but also because the chamois foot bed covering won't allow the foot to move into the shoe! it hangs on to the sock! even if the shoe were a bigger size, I'd have to to, I dunno, wrap my socked foot in saran wrap to get it into the shoe. BUT THIS SHOE has a much smoother, non-grabby foot bed. Thank you! That said, is it possible for an arch to be TOO high? When I tried to walk in these shoes, my toes were floating above the foot bed while rocking on the arch. It didn't feel terrible, but I don't think it would be good for me to be having my arches holding up the full weight of my body. Also, the choices of finish seemed limited. I bought the black patent as it was the most neutral available in my size (I'd prefer leather). Of the three styles I tried, I liked the shape of the toe box on this one the best. Debra, which did come in Black Nappa leather looks like duck feet. Not surprisingly, I'm going to have to get winter shoes for thick socks and summer shoes for thin or no socks.

I have the Lil Smokey Alegria Duette. The shoe fits well and looks classy. This second pair slips up and down on my heel and looks like rubber … the Lil Smokey could pass for a leather shoe.

Fit and size are fine. Super comfortable. But if you might need to wear them on a wet surface, watch out! Absolutely zero traction. I wore them to work on mildly rainy day and came close to falling multiple times.

These were cushy and comfortable but unfortunately, unattractive. The vegan leather feels and looks slick and fake. If you don’t mind their appearance and just want comfort, I’m sure these would fit the bill. I returned them and am hoping for something with both arch support and good looks.

I ordered the Alegria Duette clog in Aged Ink, size 9, regular width, and the fit was perfect. Really comfortable, so I ordered a second pair in a different color - also size 9, regular width, in Fierce. Weirdly, this shoe was smaller and narrower, not at all like the first pair and unwearable. Very disappointing. Maybe it's a quality control issue.

The fit is great. The base doesn’t feel like it will last long for the price. Weak. They show every mark. I’m constantly wiping them off.

I had hoped the toe box of these shoes would be as wide as that in the Kayla but alas, not so much. Also the upper is man-made and not leather. To ME, that means plastic without breathability. That could be different for others. Also, the elastic stipe at the heel got stuck under my foot unless I used a shoe horn.. All in all, just not what I was looking for.. but they are cute!

They fit pretty well and I am keeping the other pair in a different finish. This pair was worn before and had large creases across the arch as well and a defect in the stitching

I like the looks of the shoes. They have the best arch support of all the different shoes I have tried. The toe bed has good width. I wear a 7 1/2 so had to buy the 38s. I've had other Alegrias before and have always had to buy a 38. Wish they would make half sizes. While they fit, after wearing them for only 2 days, they are already starting to slip on my feet. I don't care for the thin soles. I feel like I am walking on the ground with little to no support for the whole foot, especially the ball of the foot. I feel that because of the thin soles there won't be much life in these shoes. I kept them because I was desperate for something I could be on my feet all day & so far they are doing the job. I won't buy another pair of this particular Alegria.

I like the feel of sole and arch support, but the shoe over all is big and slips on my foot.

They were so uncomfortable I could not wear them in the house for 10 minutes. The arch is very high. Too high for my feet.

Did not like the trim of the shoe.

Size 6 in black flourish fit perfectly but in white was much larger. The 5.5 was significantly smaller so it seemed the duette in white was not sized right.

I normally wear a 8 to 8.5 in wide. That's what I originally ordered it was way too long. So I ordered these.....which are way too small. My fault, should've tried 7-7.5. But they are cute.

Unfortunately, I received two different sizes. The labeling in the shoe indicates they are both a size 38, but the right shoe was nearly 2 cm longer than the left shoe, and my foot was slipping out of it.

I was so disappointed when I opened the box! These shoes are not leather and they look very cheesy. This is my fault because I did not read the description. But in all fairness, I have three pairs of this brand of shoes and they are all leather so why would I think they would be made from manmade materials? Needless to say, I am not paying this amount of money for a pair of shoes that are not made of quality materials so back they go!

bottom sole was so slippery.

Liked the design, the shoes fit well. But: the arch support seems really... too big/ large for my comfort. And I am used to wearing avionics with arch support. Strange. It also hits mid- sole, really under the arch, instead of just after the heel. Maybe the shoe size is too large. Another note....they squeak. And the soles are slippery. I'm a nurse, walking lots. ? Not the best. I guess I have to send them back. Safety first.

I really wanted to love these shoes! I had my hallux fused and have had a hard time finding comfortable shoes. Pair that with the fact that I have HUGE feet for a woman and can't always find cute women's shoes. These had great arch support, but were not wide or deep enough in the toe box to be comfortable. Trying a different style.

I put them and just sat. Where the the cloth met the leather as I sat began to become uncomfortable and if walked I would get a blisters

These are so cute. And comfy for the most part but there’s a seam on the inside that rubs really bad. By the end of a 12 hour shift it’s so painful.

These are not like the normal Alegria shoes I love. They do not have the thick footbed that can be removed and replaced with a new one. They aren't as comfortable. And they are tight on the tops of my feet. I ordered the same size I normally wear in this brand. I returned them :(

The upper has no "give" to accommodate one foot/toes that are slightly longer than the others.
