Customer Reviews Alegria Joleen

These are the cutest shoes ever!! I am so sad I have to return them. I have wide feet. I have several pair of Paloma shoes (the Mary-Jane style). They are nice and wide and my bunions don't even get red in them. These shoes - Joleen - were way too narrow. I got them on fine, but after wearing around the house for 5 minutes I realized they must go back. Not the shoe's fault. I blame my feet. :-(

I got these shoes as a replacement for my Danskos, which I loved but were too tippy! For the first couple months, I thought I had found the perfect shoe. Comfortable, reasonably good-looking, practical for wearing during long days at school. But after only 3 months, the leather at the back of the ankle wore out and the padding began falling out. It's so disappointing! In comparison, my Danskos survived daily wear for almost two years.

I love the patterned leather but the shoe was too big for the size 39 I ordered. It felt like it would fall off my foot. Seemed like the strap was too far down toward the toes to provide securing the shoe to the foot. If I pulled the strap tighter so my foot felt secure the velcro did not come together and match up and did not secure the shoe. I will return them without ordering a different size. I thought this shoe was ugly and very boxy.
