Customer Reviews Alegria Keli Professional

I've been searching for a comfortable walkabout shoe for everyday use - now that Dansko's quality has gone down. There's a lot to like about this shoe. At first I thought it was way too small, but realized that the suede-like insole was catching my socks as I slid it on! The toe box is quite roomy - and all my toes can relax in there. Overall I like them, however they are a smidge too short in the toe box. The next size up is likely to be too sloppy, so I'm going to stick with these. Not perfect, but pretty close.

I ordered a 41 instead of a 40, my usual size in Alegria shoes, based on reviews that the shoes run small. Unfortunately, the shoes seem true to size, meaning too big for me, so I had to return them. I reordered the same style in a 40, and am currently waiting to receive them. Cute shoes, but especially if you have narrow heels, order you usual size.

The qualifiers: These may run half a size small, I'm still breaking them in. I'm very picky with my shoes. I have one malformed foot which has had had a lot of surgery on the bones. It requires orthopedic shoes so both feet get to wear them. I have two hip replacements, bad knees, and I'm very overweight. So there are the challenges. I LOVE these shoes. Sparkly orthopedic shoes? I couldn't believe it. They are fashionable and good to my feet. They are very comfortable coming out of the box and are getting even more comfortable as I wear them. They are better than Danskos as they do not have the rise in the heel which torques my knees and makes me feel very unsteady in my shoes. I feel closer to the ground and much safer walking in these shoes as opposed to the bit of teetering I do on the Danskos. The support is very good. I work in a building with concrete floors, everywhere, and these shoes hold up to them. All the aches I usually have from my bad foot are now missing. I'm ordering the enhanced arch supports to try them. They also have wide inserts you can insert. How nice I can pop them in or out - and replace them. I always loved that feature in my Birkenstocks. And best of all, there are so many colors/styles in this particular model I don't have to look for another shoe. I can just get a different color of this one. I'm ordering the Night Rosettes right now. P.S. I'm a pretty serious person and was reluctant to have so much fun on my feet. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them and inquiries where I got them. They really are as much to wear as they are comfortable.

I know these shoes can be a great addition to my wardrobe, especially for work. I know they must be comfortable feeling the cushion inside and seeing the arch support. However, they were way too small for my foot. I'm a size 9 1/2 wide, but realize these did not have wide available so I got the 10. I could barely get my foot in the shoe. I will have to send them back.

Felt a little too small, the material was very rigid and cut in to my heel. Also, not really a handless slip on if that's what you're getting it for.

The fit is bizarre with huge differences between consecutive sizes. I am consistently an 8.5 or 9 in US sizes and 39 in Euro sizes. The 39 was so enormous I literally walked out of it and the 38 so small I couldn't even get the shoe on. I've never see such a difference between sizes. Furthermore the heel was very wide. Even if the shoe came in an in between length, the heel probably still would have been too wide. Now if you get lucky and this shoe actually fits you, it appears to be a good choice for people who are on their feet a lot. The shoe appeared well made, cushioning was good, arch support was good and there was plenty of toe room. I also liked that the styling was better than many options in the "comfort" shoe niche. Had the fit not been so weid, I would have kept the shoe.

These are really cute and I wear them to work. However even though they are wide, they are tighter than I'd hoped on my wide feet. I'm hoping they break in soon because I don't want to send them back. I might have tried a 1/2 size bigger.

Love everything BUT- they squeak, really loud.............

These shoes have less cushion than I was expecting. They also squeak with each step, on all surfaces including carpet. I will probably only wear them until I find something else. The style is nice. I am coming from wearing Dansko clogs, so the shoes definitely feel different simply because they are a shoe and not a clog. Comparing the sizing between Dansko , these Alegria run slightly smaller but not enough for me to change size from a Dansko.

Run small, I ordered up a size and they’re borderline too small. I love the look of them, unfortunately they’re not particularly durable and the design is wearing off in spots already 3

A little big flipped flop when I walked.

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!

Heels keep slipping out of the back. It seems very difficult to get the righ size in Alegrias. Sometimes, you need to go up a size in the European sizinging and sometimes you need to stay true to your size. I will be returning these do the the heal slippage.

I am unhappy with these shoes because a large portion of the soles are made of a very spongy material that breaks down, causing them to erode. I started wearing them about 4 months ago. I bought them because I had a pair of them before, and I wore them for many years (not sure, but I'm guessing 5+ years) before I noticed any meaningful wear and tear. But this pair is different - it's like the soles are disintegrating, not wearing down the way normal shoes do, and in odd places (like the arch). They are reasonably comfortable, but they do stretch out a bit. They felt a little small at first, but now I have to wear really thick socks.

I am sad to say... horrible. It squeaks with every step . I am a nurse. I walk a lot. Not good to make noise when walking in the patient's room.

Have to return. Fit is too small. The material is great.

Buy your shoes from somewhere else. Zappos sucks.

Comfortable shoe however, This shoe stretched out and felt more like slippers. The fit was my usual size anymore.

I wear a women's size 9 typically, and a 39 in Danskos. Returning size 39 and reordering in a size 40. These feel too small.

I bought these shoes because of all the positive reviews online and from friends. When first putting these shoes on they felt fairly comfortable, I wore them to work in a hospital for a 12 hour shift and my feet immediately started to hurt more than ever, not sure why these shoes killed my feet it might be that they are too squishy. I wore sanita clogs before trying these shoes and I wish I hadn't bought these I wore them once and now I cant wear them again. Waste of money. Staying true to my Sanita's!

My daughter wears a 9.5. She could not even get the 39 on her foot. Growing weary of returns.

Wore them all day right out of the box!!

Wore these shoes right out of the box. Super comfortable. Look great, too..

I started wearing these shoes the moment I opened the box. Super comfortable.

Runs just slightly narrower than a normal wide, which works with no socks. Have received compliments on the “Dermatic color/design.”
