Customer Reviews Alegria Debra Professional

it felt comfortable but it looked so boxy making it look so WIDE.

The Alegria Debra Professional seems like a nice shoe. While it is very wide looking, I (out of necessity) have to put comfort first and these do seem like they would be comfortable if they fit me. They were huge on my foot however and I think I need more support for the sides of the foot than these seem to offer. I do like the flutter cocoa design.

I returned my pair because I felt the toe area was way too wide and when I walked my foot felt like it was sliding lower to outside arch of the shoe. I guess that's great if you walk on the outside of your feet. I loved the print.

I thought this shoe was great. I found it is a horrible shoe and I've worn them twice. I twisted my foot because this shoe is wide and uncomfortable.

I love the Alegria sandals I have, mainly because the arch support is excellent, so I decided to try their clogs. I have a very average width foot, but these were so wide (in the medium width) that they looked like flippers. They were also so loose (in the same size I normally wear in this brand), even with medium weight socks on, that they kept slipping off my heels as I walked. They did have good arch support as I expected, but I was so disappointed with the fit and look of them. Sent them back.

Too wide, slipped in the heal. I have always worn this size and style.

Fits like a clog. Does not even come close to gripping on heel.

The design has completely worn off these shoes. The black color is gone on the toes. It doesn’t seem to be made of real leather. Seems to be something like small reptile scales that are flaking off. The trouble is that they are really comfortable and are not nearly worn out on the soles or rest of shoes, just the fake leather part. I wonder if they could be recovered with leather or something?

I decided on these shoes for nursing and after wearing them once a week for 10 weeks, they still have not "broken in". I wish I could return them. The toe bed is not very tall and my feet kill me after I wear them for 8 hours.

I needed a size 12. Would have liked to try that. As it is, this shoe is way too inflexible and feels hard and stiff. I really wish it had worked. I have ball of foot pain and hammer toes. Bad news.

I have a high arch and could not finish a shift in these shoes. Even with the elastic, it cut off the circulation in my feet. I actually brought another pair of shoes to work so I could try to break them in and switch. No go.

I purchased the Keli Professional in this brand and love it. Zappos, please get more of this shoe. The Debra Professional really slips off the heel. I cannot wear it.

Originally bought a size 39, and it was too small so I sent them back and got the 40 and I was swimming in them. Ordered the pair of 39's again and a shoe tree to slightly stretch them out. When I got the 39's again, one of the arches in the insole was effective and misplaced so I gave up. I kept them anyway, hoping to break them in, but you would have to be a true masochist to ever get these shoes broken in. They sat in my closet for a year with shoe trees in them both and it didn't stretch them at all. I'm a waitress and I can't kill myself to break in a shoe. Ain't nobody got time for that!

These shoes are hard and small. They were not cushioned like they look. Also, they just felt wrong on my feet. Returning.

I found this style did not run true to Alegria's usual sizing. I normally wear a 6.5, so I always order a 36 in Alegria. I could hardly even get my foot into the shoe; so thanks to Zappos great return policy, I exchanged them for a size 37, which was not an improvement. It was so loose and wide I felt like I was wearing flip-flops! Too bad because the shoes are really cute.

I bought these based on their reviews for being really supportive if you are on your feet for hours a day. I cater with my husband, have very flat feet and get major heel pain and have extreme lower back issues. This shoe feels at least a 1/2 size too small in length and is very tight on the top of the foot (I am a true 10 normal width). By hour 4 of wearing them my lower back was completely shot. I had to put on my Dansko's (Shannon stapled). These took quite a few times of wearing to get used to the arch support but...they do make a big difference for my back by the end of an 11-12 hour shift.

This was my first pair of clog type shoes, first pair of shoes in this brand. I did not like them. I tried to be different and not get Danskos. They squeaked after about six months and made my feet sweat. My calves hurt a lot after working my 12 hour shifts, also. I am bot a fan. I bought the Danskos after I gave up on these and they are truly amazing. No calf pain, no sweaty feet, no squeaks.

Bought these with the expectation of a CNA position. That never happened, so they got worn to work at Wal-Mart instead! They're comfortable, but I'm not sure I'd buy another pair. They didn't hold up well to scuffs at all. They look like hell, to be honest. They stretched out significantly from the beginning, to the point where I can wear thick socks with them now. The angled sole gives your calves a rest while walking, but puts the effort into your thighs and hips. The elevated platform sole is cool but I'm not stable on it. I'll probably stay with the brand, I will not purchase this style again though. If your feet are at all wide, get the wide width. The regular was impossibly tight, though in retrospect maybe it would have stretched out to a comfortable point.

These shoes are adorable. I have 10 pair of Alegrias, but this was my first pair of Debras. Sadly, I had to return them because the right shoe felt too tight at the mid-foot.

I own a pair of the Seville Alegrias in 'blue lovely patent' and I highly recommend them. I wear them 8 hours a day for work and I'm on my feet all day. You can wear the strap on the front of the shoe as shown or behind your heel and I love that I can slip my feet in and out easily. They are so comfortable and I can't tell you how many compliments and comments I get on them. I wanted another pair of Alegrias so I tried the Debra. I love the look of the embossed style but unfortunately they were very tight on my feet and painful on my toes so I returned them.

Although very comfy with the insole that came with it, you cannot use your custom orthotic. There is a hard ridge that rubbed my toes. Very disappointing.

How very sad, such cute shoes too. This brand was recommended to me but by a very petite woman. They ran too narrow to wear with even light socks. I shop at Zappos VIP frequently and this is the first time I have tried this brand. I even went up a full size and they were still too narrow. Too bad.

I ordered a 9 wide . Definitely not a wide. I have 2 pairs home I bought years ago. They are a 9 regular. These felt the same. Should not order allegria . Nice shoes . Doesn’t work for me! Expensive also

Both Shoes were too narrow for me in both widths and very stiff.
