Overall, the shoes are comfortable, exceptional arch support; however, I am and always have been a size 9 - 9.5. After reading some of the reviews, I tussled a bit on what size to order, a 39, or 40. Unsure, I ordered both. Upon receipt, the very next day -- thank you Zappos, I tried both pairs on and the 40 was a perfect fit. On the other hand, the 39 fit...but my foot was almost hanging off the back edge. Not all that noticeable, but it bothered me, so I am sending the 39 back. As for the appearance, my husband hates them because as others have pointed out they are big clunky shoes, but in my opinion the colors help to over shadow the clunkiness...I ordered the leopard hair, and they are adorable. On that note, my only grip, is that the sizing is off, but Zappos return/exchange policy eases the pain. All that said, if you are contemplating on whether to order these shoes, get them and in the color that catches your eye; but, and heed this advice, order a size up from your 'normal' size. So, if you are a '9', order size 40, not 39.

Love my Alegria shoes! They are so comfortable and of course I think the Elephants are great especially since they are the mascot of my alma mater! These shoes have so many cute options. I'm thinking about another pair.

These sandals are so comfortable. I have problems with my feet and have had a hard time finding comfortable shoes that last more than a couple of hours. I wore these when I hosted a baby shower and my feet didn't start hurting until about 6 hours after being on my feet constantly.

These shoes are particularly good if you have foot problems (metatarsal/arthritis). Alegria shoes have a non bending, rocker sole which propels you forward. The cushioning on the inside is extremely thick and bouncy like no other shoes. The strap on the Paloma makes this shoe very secure. It is a funky look and I get so many compliments. I have these shoes in four colors as they are the only shoes I can wear. They are definitely a step up from black, clunky, rubber soled comfort shoes (you know what I mean!). I even have sandals by Alegria. These shoes are reasonably priced and will last about two years if you alternate. I love them!

These shoes are so comfortable. But unfortunately the size 35 did not fit me. So I do not have a choice here but to order the smaller size as this is the smallest size they have.

I was reading the reviews on this shoe and I have to agree with one of the reviews. The way the shoe is shaped it make my feet look like I have clown shoes on especially the floral design. Returning for a bigger size (I have wide feet so I should have known better) and a plain design. Although I can tell they seem very comfortable because the insole is so thick.

When I first received these sandals I wasn't sure at first because they looked bulky. I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable and light weight they are. The adjustable straps are the best and I can adjust to keep them on my feet, haven't slipped off once. Of course the serpent design is awesome and goes well w/ my purple pedi, but versatile enough to wear w/ many different outfits. I highly recommend, especially for people who have trouble finding comfy stylish sandals.

This is my second pair of Kleo in the Alegria sandals. I bought the special serpent, loved them so I ordered pastel passion. Wow! They are really beautiful and great colors for summer. Same comfort and awesome support and look so cute on! You cannot go wrong with Alegria. I love the Kleo!

Comfortable beyond belief and absolutely adorable. The "summer swirl" print goes with everything! I wear an 8.5 to 9 in regular shoes, and the 39 fits perfect. I now have 4 pairs of Alegria Paloma shoes. One of mine did squeak, and talcum powder under the insert did work after it got worked in for a couple days. Love these shoes!

It's hard to find comfortable white summer shoes for people who need an arch support. I liked these but they are a bit wider than the Classic Allegria. I need to return them because I also have very narrow feet. They seem well-made like the Classics. Besides being to wide, they were comfortable. I wish they came in a medium or regular width.

I had excruciating heel pain in addition to a bunion, flat feet and a club toe. Dr. wanted to give me a cortisone shot. Instead I bought the Alegria Paloma. The heel pain went away. Since then I have purchased 2 more Palomas and 2 Daynas. I am a teacher and need comfortable shoes. I can wear my Alegria shoes all day and even into the evening. The only issue I have is that 4 pairs of my Alegria shoes squeak. My oldest pair does not. I have found that if I take the insole out and spray with a good quality silicone the inside of the shoe around the area where the shoe meets the sole. They will not squeak while I wear them that day. Unfortunately, I must respray the next time I wear them. It is strange that my oldest pair does not squeak. Maybe Alegria has changed the composition of the insole material. I will continue to spray and wear my Alegrias because they make my feet feel so good and I like the cute styles. Last week while out shopping, 4 strangers told me they liked my shoes. One lady wanted to know where she could buy some.

I love these sandals! I have numerous foot issues including plantar fasciitis, but I can wear these sandals all day, walking long distances with minimal discomfort. They go well with jeans, skirts, and dresses. So glad I bought them.

I have 3 pairs of Paloma: blue tile, brown pull-up, & the lady walking with poodle. Love them! They are unique looking & I've had a lot of positive comments. At 64 years old & dealing with back & leg pain, I can't wear heels anymore; and I'm only 5' tall! The little lift Alegria shoes offer, along with the comfort, is heavenly. I just ordered a pair of the Kleo sandals; they are wonderful.

I just got these adorable sandals in the mail today, just one day after ordering them from Zappos. They fit like a dream. I also have 3 pairs of Alegria Paloma shoes, & was concerned about the sizing differences. I am a size 7.5, and for the Paloma, I ordered a size 37, and they fit perfectly, but the Kleo size for 7.5 is 38. I contacted Alegria directly, & they explained that, yes, I should order the 38 in this shoe; that the actual inside bed of the shoe is, in fact, a 37. The Pastel Passion pattern is gorgeous, and I love the little rosebuds on the outside of the toe straps. If I could afford to do so (and I can't!), I would order another pair of these in either the brown or black. I can see that I'm going to really put these sandals to use this summer. Thanks to Zappos for continued great customer service.

I thought these shoes looked cute enough for work, especially in profile. I work as a waitress and non-slip soles are required. I am trying to replace my non-slip Klogs, which I bought in September and only work 1 or 2 nights/week. When I took the Alegrias out of the box, I thought, they have got to be one of the most unattractive shoes I've seen. They are practically rectangular except they flare out even more at the toes like a duck foot. They didn't even offer much arch support (I have flat arches, but not particularly wide feet) and made my feet look gigantic, as if I'd worn the shoe box instead. Back they go. Sorry Zappos, I feel badly not purchasing anything from this round.

After having bad luck with Danskos and another pair of shoes, I decided to order a size larger in these than I normally wear. They are definitely too big but still quite comfy - since they are maryjane style, they stay on my foot just fine and I decided to hang on to them for my work shoes. I'd like to get another pair but would order my true size. They did start squeaking quite loudly after a while, not sure if it's just something that happens with this material (never had shoes like this before) or what, but it isn't enough for me to retire them yet. I work long overnight shifts at a hospital and these are the first shoes I have found where I am able to be on my feet all night and they don't hurt like crazy at the end of my shift. Thanks for dealing with all my exchanges, Zappos!

I work 12 hour shifts and these shoes hold up the whole day. I was very happy with the way my feet and legs felt after running around for 12 hours. Best shoe I have found in years.

Super comfy! Had been wearing Sanita maryjane style shoes for work and though they were better than athletic shoes, I still had leg and foot pain. Got these in the metallic rose (because I love anything shiny!) and based on all the reviews, I expected no real break in period. Ouch. The first time I wore them I had to go shopping. By the end of the day I was walking on the backs of the shoes because I had fat blisters. Haha for thinking I could wear them like that right out of the box! Second time I wore them for a normal day of work and still got blisters and they were a tiny bit snug still, but I was very happy. Third time, I wore them at a night out after work and ended up partying all night in them! Walked miles in them from bar to bar. Had small blisters the next day, but they were broken in! Now I wear them every day to work and seriously, they are the most comfortable shoe ever! I need more colors and styles! Get compliments on them all the time. So cute!

I love this sandal for the comfort, arch support, overall foot support, and super cute style. The adjustable straps allow you to find the perfect fit. This is my second pair of Algeria sandals. I bought the first pair last summer in Sedona while on vacation in the Carina style and couldn't wait to get another pair for this summer! I purchased the special serpent and am going to place another order for the white pastel passion in the same style. You can't go wrong with Algeria, especially if you like comfort and cute all in one very well made sandal! I appreciate Zappos' customer service. I received my sandals a few days after placing my order.

I'm so glad I kept trying to find the right shoe. I've ordered so many black summer sandals from Zappos, and their customer service has been excellent. I've finally found one that is attractive, supportive, holds onto my foot without binding, and most importantly is wide enough. I'm pleased, at long last.
