Customer Reviews TRAQ by Alegria Qarma

Please note: If you wear Alegria brand shoes because of midfoot arthritis, and require Alegria's inflexible, sturdy soles with rocker bottoms to walk comfortably, you will not be able to wear these shoes. They bend easily and offer very little support to prevent midfoot flexion. I had high hopes for an Alegria athletic shoe but these have to go back.

I usually like Alegria because the toe box offers more room and they have great arch support. I was very disappointed in this shoe and the other TRAQ shoe I bought as the toe box did not offer any room and the sole is hard. Very little, if any arch support. I would have to add a support, but the shoe would be way too tight then.

i usually LOVE Alegria shoes and that owes much to the amazing Alegria insole that seems both soft and comfortable and yet firm and supporting. This particular Traq style lacks the traditional Alegria insole and the difference is quite marked. The insoles are no where near as comfortable for my poor feet (I have a myriad of tendon issues including plantar fasciitis and fallen arches/flat feet). I still stan for Alegria and would be willing to try another iteration of this style if it came out with the traditional removeable insole.

I really wanted to keep a pair of these, but after much deliberation I will be sending both sizes back. I am a TRUE 10.5 women's. The EU 41 (W10.5) felt ever so slightly too big... enough that they don't feel comfortable. When I sized down to a EU 41 (W10) they were ever so slightly too snug, where my big toe rests to the very tip of the shoe. It's a true case of Goldilocks, with nothing fitting "just right." It's hard to keep a shoe without really testing it out (I work in the medical field, and can put on 4-6mi per day running around), so unfortunately they are both going back due to not fitting comfortably. Sad cause it truly is a comfortable base and sole, has neat features with the blutooth chip, and looks snazzy too.

At first the shoes seemed ever so slightly snug. However, I must say that the "wear in Time" is essential! Wear them 1 or 2 hrs at home for 3 days. They are made of pretty fabric, and they feel great now, even with my custom orthotics :)

So I bought these because they are GORGEOUS. Upside is they are also very light weight. However, I would NOT recommend this shoe (in this color) because they get dirty VERY quickly and show dirt far too easily. I have only worn these indoors at my gym for a few weeks, and I had to bring them home to wash them. Also, the gold portions wears away far too easily. I am not hard on my gym shoes and my gym is pretty clean, so these problems were very disappointing.

I love these. They look great...they made a big hit at the gym this morning...and they are so comfortable. The arch support is better than any trainers I've ever had.

Nice to find a shoe designed for walking, rather than running or cross training - one that is not totally frumpy. These are super cute and they were very comfortable when I tried them on. I can't wait to try them out! The foot bed is soft, but still has support. The built-in pedometer sounds intriguing as well.

Love these shoes. These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have purchased in a long time. Fun extra perk tracks steps. I have even worn them for a run on my lunch break. No foot pain at all. Perfect!

I really had high hopes for these shoes. The first day I wore them my feet hurt so much I couldn’t sleep that night. I figured they were like Vionic and other brands that you hadn’t to ease your feet into wearing them but they kept getting worse. I last wore them a week ago for 6 hours and my feet still hurt. I finally figured out what is that makes them not work for me, the arch is too far back in the foot for my feet. I have the same problem with Easy Spirit shoes. I’m going to take the morning to the Good Feet store and see if there is anything they can do to make them wearable. Since I have worn them, I can’t return them so even if the pedometer doesn’t work I have to try to get some wear out of them. Really wanted to buy the leather Mary Janes too.

None of the TRAQ shoes have worked for me for one reason or another. These were too narrow, even with the laces.

I’ve bought a bunch of shoes from Zappos over the past 15 years and these are the best yet. I put them on as soon as they arrived and haven’t taken them off. They are so comfortable, fit is perfect. I’ll be looking for another pair soon!! Walked a mile and a half in them in the past hour, super comfortable. Replacing my ascis.

I love these shoes. They feel great and look awesome.

These are the second color of TRAQ shoes I’ve purchased. I bought the pink and black flowered ones a few months ago and loved them. Then I had foot surgery and was stuck in sneakers. These are so cute I get compliments all the time on them! And they fit my brace that I have to wear for now. The insoles feel like they would be great, but I have custom ones I use, so I changed them out. The soles seem a little slick when first received, but I have never had any problems with them slipping on any surface. When I bought my first pair, I read reviews that said these ran narrow. I usually need an 11 narrow shoe, so I took a chance and bought the 11 medium, and they fit great! I have a feeling they’ll be more colors in my future because I love the way these look and feel!

These are my third pair of Traq shoes. After 4 ankle and foot surgeries, I must wear laced shoes. These are great looking, have style, and give me the support that my feet need to let me go all day and feel stylish. Running shoes, when I’m dressed up, made me feel and look frumpy. I love these shoes.

Algeria is my new favorite brand and I have been through many brands. They are cute and comfortable. Most brands are just not quite wide enough for me. These are without being too wide. Love this brand!!

These shoes fit wonderfully right out of the box. I love the style, they are so cute and go so well with leggings or jeans. Great shoes!

I love this shoe. I have a narrow foot and cannot wear most shoes comfortably. I have ordered this same shoe in 3 different colors and not one of them fit. So disappointed. too many of the other colors have white along the top side and heel of the shoe which is not practical for me. Love the shoe but the quality control is not good if every shoe in the same style fits so differently. Too bad!

Love it. Just enough support to hold my flat feet.

Shoe look nice but it was way to firm inside and outside. Which is wasn't so firm it would be a good shoe for problem feet.

AThey felt great out of Theon but a few hours in my feet hurt. That night the pain in my feet kept waking me up. Tryongto break them in a few hours a day. Only time will tell. I had high hopes since I can’t wear my fit bit or Apple Watch any more due to metal allergies.

This shoe is beautiful and the arch support felt GREAT but I can usually wear a medium width and this shoe was VERY TIGHT, hurting my feet even with them propped up on the ottoman so that I could look at the shoes on my feet. They are not available in a wide width, so I had to return them but I did an exchange for a different style of shoe by Alegria that does come in wide width and I love them! Just be sure to order a half size larger than your normal.

They were so cute! A great shoe that doesn't look like a tennis shoe! The arch you could actually feel. I am a size 12 and the 43 (13) was too small. I wish they made a 44!

Shoes are built for endurance. I wear them for hiking as well as every day shoes! Quality shoes.

I was disappointed because I could never sink the shoes with the app, I called the company and they walked me through how to connect the shoe but it never worked.
