Karmen Bubblish, Carina Chain Mail and Camille Wavy Navy moved into my closet this Spring. They feel good on my feet. And I do like the fun patterns.

I have had planter fascia for a year and finally able to wear sandals. Dr suggested Naot which I wore in past but tried the Alegria and love them.

Very comfortable shoe w/ a bit of bling. Purchased after buying other Alegrias. Good for casual wear & for busy walking days. Alegrias are my summer all around shoes.

For those who have had lots of foot surgery like I have had, these shoes are great. The toes can spread out and the arch support is great, especially if you have high arches.

Got these in the "oyster" color and they are simply beautiful! The color of the soft leather across the bridge of the foot is soft white calf leather, but the strap across the toes is an iridescent white (just a hint of pink/blue depending on where you are looking). Duh! Like an oyster! I was expecting a soft white/beige but this is really, really outstanding! The sole is a very soft gray with great arch support and nestles your heel down just enough to feel really secure! Can you tell that I love these shoes?! My second pair of this brand and I will buy more!

Following foot surgery, I made my last trip to my surgeon, wearing the required Air Boot on one foot. On the other, I wore my Algeria Karmen. The surgeon released me from having to wear the boot, picked up my shoe and asked why I had bought these. Told him I liked the style and was delighted to find that the heel height was the same as my boot, enabling a much more normal and comfortable stride. He proceeded to tell me why it was an excellent shoe: rocker sole, adjustable straps, supportive foot bed with outstanding arch support. I have since purchased 2 additional pairs of sandals. I find the higher platform (1 1/2" or 1.75", as this is sometimes listed) more supportive, but the lower heel is still superior to other "orthopedic-type" shoes I've tried. I'm speaking only about sandals; I haven't tried a closed toe Algeria shoe, as I pretty much wear sandals year round.

These are much wider than the ones I already have. The velcro sticks straight out by the time I have the straps as tight as needed.

I love these shoes! I got the "Prime Time Rave," which is multi-color but emphasizes blue and green. They look great! More importantly, they feel great! I stumbled upon Alegria shoes a few years ago when I bought a similarly-styled sandal which the sales clerk said was recommended for plantar fasciitis (which was causing me lots of heel pain at the time). They were a miracle shoe for me, allowing me to finally walk again without pain! I have bought several pairs of Alegria shoes since then, and these Karmen sandals are wonderful. The straps are adjustable, so if your foot is a bit narrow, like mine, they will still fit. They have leather uppers which are shiny and kind-of remind me of vinyl, but they are softer than vinyl and very comfortable. I am looking forward to wearing these sandals a lot more as soon as the weather cooperates better.

I only recomment Alegria. For a closed-toe shoe, I recommend the Alegria Paloma.

My surgeon recommended this type of sole due to the nature of my foot fracture and I love these shoes! I like the adjustable straps for the perfect fit and with so many colors, they will go with just about everything! The arch support is excellent for me. I have been wearing them almost every day for about six weeks with no problems other than the right one has developed a noticeable "squeak". It sounds as if I am walking on an old hardwood floor that creaks. Zappos as usual, has super fast shipping and great customer service!

Bought for my mom who has trouble with her feet. This is her 2nd pair in 2 weeks. They fit true to size and she was able to walk all day the first day she put them on! Love them!

Great support, well made, comfortable, and extremely fashionable. It's already my "go to" summer shoe. I got the Primetime Rave, is a smooth leather, but looks like stained glass. Very cool. I am a 7.5, and the size 37 is perfect.

Love these shoes! Great comfort and adjustability, which is what my poor feet need. After multiple foot operations my feet have a difficult time finding comfort and support. These have very nice arch support and a cushy yet durable sole structure. I know they hold up well as I now own 5 pairs.

I'm recovering from a fusion of my big toe because of hallux rigidus. I also had a bunion removed and so I was looking for some comfortable, adjustable sandals that weren't hideous. These shoes fit the bill! I highly recommend th m for anyone with toe problems.

These are so comfy! I bought these after recovering from back surgery last summer and needed to go to New York. These were a winner. Walked all day around NYC in these. So glad I got these. They have velcro adjustments so they fit anyone. I do take a size larger in these than I normally do. Normally I wear a 39 for my size 8 1/2 shoe size but in this style I wear a 38. These can be worn for dress up or for casual so they are very versatile. I will be buying more of this brand. Even though they are a little pricey you are getting your money's worth with the extra arch support, adjustability and made exceptionally well. Thank you Alegria!

I love these sandals! They are so comfortable, and I love the Velcro adjustments at the toe and top of the foot. I put them on just to walk around the house. Perfect right out of the box!

I ordered these in a 39 wide, because that's what I wore in Danskos. These were actually perfect at first, but they stretched out and now I wish I'd ordered regular width. I love that they are fully adjustable with Velcro so I can make these work. I get complements on them all the time.

I got these shoes for my sister who is dealing with health problems. A doctor told her about them as a lot of people in the medical field wear them. They have truly been a blessing for her. Her feet don't hurt even though almost everywhere else on her body does hurt & they are very comfortable with lots of support. Thanks to Zappos!

These are great shoes! The footbed is dreamy. They look great on. I liked the heel height. There is a little lift but they are still comfortable.

My most recent purchase of Alegria sandals was style Karmen in the cognac color I have quite a bit of arthritis in one foot and the Alegira shoes are much more comfortable than any of my other sandals. Now that I have found comfortable shoes for my painful feet I am sure that I will be buying more of them. I usually wear a size 8 in sandals, but I ordered a size 38 (8-8½). They fit fine right out of the box and I went walking in them the same day. I just wish they were less expensive.

I love my Bronze easy Alegria Karmen and all other Alegria I bought from Zappos. I love Zappos and love your great service. Great return policy. One pair was too wide and got regular width the next day.

This is an awesome shoe! I have plantar fasciitis and Alegria & Dansko are the only brands I can wear. Both straps on these are adjustable so the fit is perfect. I'm able to stand all day with no pain so plan to get more in different colors.
