I’d wear every day if I could!
I love these sandals so much! Brand new, out of the box, they were so comfortable it was nearly like I was not wearing shoes! I’ve had them at least a year now and every time I put them on I’m like 😄. I’ve never once had them hurt my feet and it’s hard to find comfortable shoes for me.Not to forget they’re cute as hell with the designs in the soles (noticed by my Dr and his nurse when I had to lay on an exam table, lol). The cute butterfly on the side is noticeable but not gaudy. Quality of this shoe is off the superb!

World's Most Comfortable Shoe!
I received this shoe today in the "Happy Days" pattern". It's so cute, bright and colorful, I'm sure I'll enjoy wearing them. I already have the "Pesca" style in navy and it's my favorite shoe. I wear a "B" width and they fit perfectly. They DO NOT run wide, although the way they're made looks like they're wide. There is generous room in the toe box. There is a significant but comfortable arch support and the leather is somewhat stiff to provide more support. The arch is neither as high or as hard as that in Birkinstocks and Vionics (which I can't wear) and it's made to eventually mold to your foot. I wear a size 11, and the size 42 fits me perfectly.These shoes are extremely well made. I can imagine them lasting a lifetime. If you should ever wear out the footbed, you can buy a new pair for $25. from the company's website. Most of the Pesca style can be worn all year, with socks in the winter.

Alegria Pesca, Size: 40M; Color: Bronze Easy
February 29, 2016:This is the first time that I have tried the Alegria Pesca, size 40M, Color: Bronze Easy.I like the fact that it is a mild rocker sole so that the chances of me twisting my ankle to the side is greatly reduced compared to the rocker sole of the Alegria Seville Pro (which is the first Alegria shoe that I tried and kept). Now, having said this, I don't know if the thinner sole will be as comfortable when I am walking for hours on a hard surface like sidewalks, concrete floors, etc. The Seville Pro offers more cushioning with the thicker rocker sole. Unfortunately it is winter where I live and I have only been wearing the shoes indoors. I will have to edit my review once I know more.The mild-rocker sole is just as comfortable as the full rocker sole. It is like walking on clouds.The size is another question. The length of the shoe is fine. I have never worn any larger than a size 10US (40EU), but I may have to consider the 10.5US (41EU) for this shoe. The toe box is adequate width-wise, but not depth-wise which I have since read that another reviewer made the same comment.. Also, a few reviewers mention that this style runs small, so the bigger size may be in order. I have a high instep, and I feel the shoe pressing down from my great toe all of the way up to my instep on both feet. This is bothersome as it cuts off my circulation just enough to make my toes fall asleep. I have come up with a solution, but it is not perfect. I have installed the older insoles from my Seville Pros, and this has taken off some of the pressure, but not enough. I have read other reviews on Amazon about the Alegria wide insoles making the regular Alegria shoe into a wide shoe. I am considering trying this as I cannot change my instep and I don't think that a bigger shoe will help (a size 41EU or 10.5US shoe has always been too big for my liking). I guess that I will have to let you know at a later date if I try the wide insole.The color takes some getting used to. It is called 'Bronze Easy', and it is shiny and has a greenish, coppery iridescence. I had orderedan Alegria Kayla Pro in the Bronze Vine colour that was shiny (I returned these shoes), but the color was more coppery. I thought the Bronze Easy would be the same, but it was not. It has taken a little getting used to.The style of the shoe is great with the cut-outs to keep my feet cool. Right now, as it is still winter, I am wearing them with socks in the house to break them in.March 1, 2016: I returned the Alegria Pesca shoes. I recently received a size 10.5US (41EU) Alegria Kayla Pro, and they are not too big. Except for the instep which I have to break-in, there are no other issues. I had previously tried the Kayla Pro in a size 10US (40EU), and they were not comfortable, so I returned them. I took a chance on trying the 10.5US (41EU). Therefore, I may have to try the Alegria Pesca in a size 10.5US (41EU) after all. I am glad that I sent the size 40EU Pesca back.

Too small or too big!
This shoe has a very comfortable, removable, cushioned foot bed with a very good arch support. The pewter is subtle metallic, and can go many places and be worn with many outfits. It is a cute shoe and a good one for mall shopping, out to eat, classroom teaching/learning, tending grouchy patients or just wearing for the fun of it. It is a pretty good walking shoe too. I love this shoe; however, I could not find a good fit. I have this shoe in pale blue and in grey; both in size 37. Both pair are a good fit. There is plenty of wiggle toe room, and the width is good. That is the size I first ordered in the pewter. It was much too small. I then ordered the black, size 38, from another online retailer. It was w-a-a-ay too big, and my feet almost slipped out when I walked. The heel is wide, and just may not get along with narrow heeled feet. Finding a good fit may be just pure luck in this particular style! This brand normally runs large. The strap allows for a bit of adjustability; however, that does not solve the problem of too small or too large size! Whew!

These are AMAZING!
These are the best shoes I've ever had. They are really really well made... but besides that, they are crafted. They are shaped inside to cradle your foot. I was having trouble with mashed toes, no support, and walking on the outer sides of my feet all the time. These keep my feet straight. They do not mash my toes at all with the large toe box and the arch is amazing! I had to get used to wearing shoes that were so well made and it took a couple of days to become accustomed to it. The leather is thick and sturdy but the inside is so well made that nothing is rubbing or giving any blisters. They're perfect!

Great on uneven surfaces
I’ve had these shoes for a year and love them. Just wore them for student tours through Italy and then Spain. Do great over cobblestone, gravel, and wet stone walkways. Walked almost 10 miles one day in Florence and they stayed comfortable! They’re always my go to during the school year. True to size with a little more room width wise. Plenty of room in the toe box. Soles are wide and give plenty of support and feel sturdy on any surface.

You won’t be disappointed!
Alegrias are one my favorites brands. You can put them on and go. This is my first time with this style and predictably, they are comfortable from the moment I put them on. I am a little disappointed that the decorative stud on the buckle is missing. Can’t wait to get them in red.
