This is my first time buying Alegria and I am in love with these shoes. I am a 7.5 or 8 depending on brand, with my right foot a little smaller one shoe is always a little annoyingly loose - the 8 is great on both feet for me. I am a very thin person and I was worried these would just look too big but they don't. . As background, I have to wear shoes ALL the time to avoid pain on hard surfaces and keep my feet warm. I have mild neuropathy and a condition where my body doesn't regulate my core temp well (Raynaud's), which causes a lot of numbness/pain in the toes if I get a chill. I also have wood floors and go up and down stairs all day. These shoes are secure, not slippery or hot and sweaty, they have awesome support with some cushion in the sole, and the inside has a soft feel without socks. I still have room to wear socks comfortably and they look cute with different types of jeans. I actually bought another high end brand of clogs before these Alegria but they were hard in the sole, not flexible, and hurt within minutes so I returned. I also didn't feel secure going down the stairs in the other brand. Not that I am unstable, the other shoes didn't go back far enough to prevent them from sliding off when you step down. I have seen these shoes on nurses and now I know why. I took some pictures so you can see how they look with different jean styles.I usually get insoles for extra cushion but don't need it with these. If you did need insoles, I feel you may need to go up half a size. If you have Prime, you can return easily so I recommend trying your normal size to start. I got the colorful pattern for fun and am definitely getting some other styles because they are totally worth it. I know they are not cheap but after buying a lot of less pricey shoes that end up getting worn very little, this is a win!I love the shoes, I am in Nursing and I walk All day on my Job, I have tried All types of shoes and none seem to give me comfort, a co-worker told me about Alegria clogs , so I said I am going to try these shoes and oh my , they are so comfortable. I can walk better, my feet don’t hurt like they use to, I am very satisfiedCute shoes and they are very comfortable:)Very comfortable for working 12 hours, love them!Loved the color and since this is my 5th pair, I know they are going to fit great!Look greatI have over 30 pairs of Alegria shoes and so far these are my favorite. I usually wear them in fall and winter, but these have more of a summer look and I wear them without socks.Great color, beautiful craftsmanship, comfy. However the foot looks huge.I’m a chef And on my feet over 10 hours a day. These really helped alleviate the pressure. Just wish the tops were softer my pinky toes both have blistersLike looks and colour. Body of shoe separates from insole pinching my feet. Can’t wear them :(
