Customer Reviews Alegria Keli Professional

I tried these based on a recommendation/review from barkingdogshoes.com and they didn't disappoint. I was surprised to find that I needed to go up a full European size (I'm consistently a 36) to a 37, but otherwise, I'm very happy. Roomy toebox,significantly lighter than Danskos, non-skid soles, and stylish enough that not only would I purchase them again, four of my coworkers wrote the brand down so they could see for themselves. I'd absolutely shop the brand again.

I really like the shoe and think they will work for me. The print is awesome and the shoe fits nicely. Finding the correct size for me was challenging! Have Sanita clogs in 40 right now (they run small) had to go down to 39 for these; 40's were HUGE. So I would say order a size larger.

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.

I'm an RN, and have been wearing these shoes for a little over 8 months now. For years I had worn exclusively Merrell Eclipse, and wanted to try something new. So, I took a risk and ordered them online... I can honestly say that I love these shoes. The style is similar to a clog, but with a light and flexible sole (I cannot stand Dansko, rock hard and too high of a heel - I'm 5'8" barefoot). Nice and comfortable toe box (although about 2-3 months into wearing, my left pinky toe just seemed to rub and rub; I thought it was curtains for the shoes, thankfully within a few weeks it just went away). The back of the shoe is built like a clog and has the nice looseness that allows the heel to move in and out when you walk. I used to put insoles into my Merrells, but I haven't needed to at all with these shoes. My only complaint of this shoe: I purchased the Bronze Bouquet and they looked amazing, I say 'looked' because after a few weeks of wear, the bronze on the toes and instep began to wear off.

I had previously worn Dansko's but they cut into my arches. A friend recommended Alegrias. The bed of the shoe is super comfortable but they rub my toes and cause callouses. I wore them around the house a few days but after wearing them to work, I realized we're not a match. Unfortunately I can't return them and they're too expensive to replace. Sigh.

Very comfortable. A little loose in the heel but not enough to be a nuisance. I will be getting more colors in this style!

One shoe is very loose and the other is very tight. Foot bed is comfortable and the length and width are great.

I loved the Alegria footbed but, since I have a big foot, I didn't care for the style. Now I have Alegrias that look good and feel wonderful.

These shoes are very comfortable, I'm a nurse and work 10hrs shifts on concrete floors and at the end of the day my feet and ankles don't hurt. They run small I normally wear a 81/2 but had to order the 39 and I have plenty of room. I Wear Danskos also but these are more soft. I will buy another pair.

These are very cute! They are too loose at the back of my heels and the left shoe is a bit too snug in front. I do not think that a larger would work due to wideness at the heel.

I bought this same style a 1 1/2 years ago and loved them but they were a little big. So this time I got a size smaller and they were too small. I exchanged them and received the same size I had before and they fit a little snug. They must have changed the sizing. Not as comfortable as my old pair. Still cute for work though.

Shoe size: 7.5. Purchased: 37 (6.5-7), 38 (7.5-8). [Background] I work in hospitality and do a lot of walking. I felt like my feet were getting progressively worse. What started as regular soreness that went away on the weekends became a never ending pain. It was difficult to find shoes that were comfortable and dressy enough to wear with a suit. I wear a 38 in Alegria Paloma (with custom low profile orthotics on top of the insole). [Sizing] was kind of weird for me. 37: toes touched the front, foot barely squeezed into the shoe with my custom orthotics, heel was comfortable and tight. 38: toes were comfortable in the front, foot fit with my custom orthotics, heel was very loose and shoe would slip with each step. [Overall] if I could have the heel of size 37 on the size 38 shoe, then size 38 would fit perfectly and be very comfortable. I really liked these shoes, they are super cute! too bad they don't fit me better.

I love the cushiony feel of Alegria shoes. This particular style though, had hardly as much cushioning as the Debra and Kayla styles. I also felt like the elastic bands on the top of the shoe allowed my foot to swim a little more than I want to. It felt like my foot would roll inward because there was more room on the top from the elastic band.

I really loved these shoes for the first few months that I have had them. It did take a couple of weeks to break them in (at the heels). However, now it feels like the left has stretched out and it came very painful on the outside of my left foot. I'm taking a break from wearing them to see if that works. I'm a nurse and am on my feet ALL day. My previous Alergria's lasted a lot longer than these!

I really wanted to like these shoes. However, the site said size 41 was 10.5 to 11. I normally wear 10.5 and these were too short. I will see if they have a size 42.

I really wanted these shoes to work. It is a well made and reasonably good looking shoe if the sizing works for you. I normally wear size 10 wide. I tried it in 9-5-10W and 10.5-11W. I couldn't even get my feet into the 9.5-10W and even the 10.5-11W were too tight and not worth risking that they might stretch. Unfortunately the shoe doesn't come in a 11-11.5 and not sure if I want to try the 11.5-12.

A little big flipped flop when I walked.

I love the look, and it seemed like they would be comfortable, but they were really short. The size chart said 41 is 11. I bought a 42 and it was maybe a 10.5 in this shoe. I'm ordering a 43, but it's not available in the same design. DIsappointed.

These were way too big -- my feet came out of them when I walked. Notably, the frame of the shoe was also unusually stiff

I liked them-felt the arch support was adequate. Wish it came in a narrow-would have been perfect.

I was so excited to get this shoe since I had ordered the Debra and it fit my foot so well and was super comfortable. I wanted this style/color because they were fun (even at 60 I love to stand out a little). These shoes are beautiful, fun, sassy.....but did not fit me as well as the other style. So, I have boxed them up to return and will order another pair of the other style. I only wish the Debra came in this color. I would like to say that I have severe arthritis in both feet and at the end of my work day would almost be in tears from the pain I felt. I've been a Birkenstock gal for the past 30 years and even they hurt my feet. So I took a chance and ordered a pair of Alegrias and was so surprised - I was able to wear them all day and the usual pain points in my feet did not speak out. So maybe I can only wear one style....I'll have several pairs in that style. Thanks Alegria for giving those of us with special shoe needs a stylish and comfortable shoe!

I absolutely love the look of this shoe. I wear a 13 wide and due to reviews reporting they run small, I ordered a 14 wide. This is still about as small as I can tolerate. I am going to keep them and hope they break in and loosen up. My concern is with the foot imprint in the bottom of the shoe. When I am sitting, my foot fits into the imprint but the second I stand or walk, my foot is beyond the imprint, which is slightly uncomfortable. Fingers crossed that they break in well.

These were comfy when I tried on but noticeably worn when I received them. I will return and get hopefully a “new” pair.

The insoles for theses shoes are so thick that when I removed them to put in my custom orthotics the fit was way too big. I had to return them. If you can wear as is, I think they’re true-to-size.
