I like them better than Vionic; though I buy them also.  Alegria shoes last forever and very good support.  They look great and I get compliments all the time, while my feet feel great.  If you like Vionic, I'm sure you will like Alegria.  


I agree that Alegrias last forever!  I have five pairs of sandals with the same footbed as the TSV from years ago.  One can replace the footbed (they pop in & out) and when I do they look like they are brand new. I find them to be very comfortable with good arch support.

 

Because this TSV looks so similar to the ones I already have, I'm a bit disappointed and wanted something with a newer look. I also don't care for the scalloped look on the design.  This TSV is an easy pass for me.

I wish they wouldn't use black outsoles on sandals .  This one looks like almost every other Alegria the Q has sold in the past.   I do not like the florals and sparkles.   Their footbed is very comfortable

I love Alegria and Birkenstock.  The footbed and arch are very supportive and mold to your foot.  Alegria does not mold in the same manner as Birkstock but are soft and cushy on your feet.  I can wear these shoes all day without any foot pain.

 

I tried Vionic and could NOT wear them at all.  I find the Vionic footbed to be very rigid and the arch to be too high.  My feet hurt after wearing Vionics for a couple hours.  

 

A negative that some people have mentioned is the Velcro on the Alegrias.  I only use the Velcro once to size the shoe upon receiving them.  I don't use the Velcro every time I put the shoes on.  You can't tell that they are Velcro or adjustable at all.

I was wondering the same thing as SurferWife re how the tsv brand compares to Vionic. Sounds like most really like the Alegria brand for comfort and support.  Where do you order the Algeria new footbeds from?

 

I did order the tsv and hope they work for my poor feet.

The patterns look like overruns to me where are the solid colors?  UGH!

Alegria very rarely does a solid color.  They are big on prints and bold colors!

I can only wear the mini rocker sole.  IF any higher I feel like I will tip over!  They are much more comfortable than Vionic at least for my feet.

@kate2357 you can order their footbeds on their website.  They have sales on them a couple times of year.  They are awesome!

@SurferWife I love alegria because I have a lot of foot problems.  I have a bunion and  hammer toes.  I need a wide toe box.  These work great for me!  I also have flat feet and then arches in the shoes are are heaven on my feet.  I ALWAYS have a pair of Alegria shoes on!  I am a teacher and am on my feet all day.  I would never survive with out them!  I even  have their slippers.  

 

Vionic are great shoes but they just don't work on my feet.  The arch is too high, they are stiff and uncomfortable for ME.  they are also too narrow for my toe box.
