Today's Special Value

[kindred cats]

Confused on sizing even after watching the video....never know if I am 7-1/2 or 8....  probably closer to a 7-1/2.

I cannot wear Dansko's anymore for that reason.  The 37s are too tight and the 38s are too long.

For that reason, I may not take a chance on the TSV.

Thanks everyone for your feedback!  I am going to order a pair.  My eyes keep going to the Princess.  I love the white background, so these will be versatile.  The Pewter Lace is another of my favorite designs, but since this is my first Alegria purchase, I am going to start with one.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

@kate2357 Sometimes the Q has them but I have purchased them from Amazon. 

One weird thing....be sure to pop out your footbed before ordering and see what the size is on the bottom of it.  I wear a size 38 shoe but discovered (the hard way) that the footbed replacement was supposed to be a 37.

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

Thank you. I'm hoping I like these well enough to need new inserts. LOL.

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

At midnight last night they did have several solid colors and more patterns in the TSV - must not have brought in too many in some of them.

I'm confused on the sizing too. I'm can wear a 7 1/2 to 8 depending on the shoe.  Alegria Rep says to stay where you are if you're in between sizes. That would mean I am a size 37. I asked about this in the Community Q&A under the item number.  I got several responses (even CS rep for QVC) saying to size up. They're saying to order a 38.  Returns and exchanges are too much of a hassle.  I'm interested in the Freedom Rock and it doesn't seem as popular so maybe it'll last until I decide.

A question for you Alegria lovers.  Why do you love them?  Do they compare to Vionic in any way?  They look ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE, and I'm quite tempted.  I'd love to hear why you love this brand!

@SurferWife   I tried several pair of Vionics and cannot wear them. I found the arch to be in a strange spot for me.  The Alegria sandals are like walking on a CLOUD.  I remember when my SIL complimented me on a single strap pair that I had on several years ago,  and asked if she could try them on.  She could NOT believe how cushiony they were and comfortable.  She LOVED them.  I thought she was going to wear them home!!!!  They are also exceptionally light.   I wound up buying a second pair.   I prefer the single straps on all sandals which is the ONLY reason I did not get the TSV.

Just purchased my first Alegra shoe.  Got the TSV in the pewter.  Just hope my feet stay in them!  LOL. I wear an 8 medium, so I took the 38.  I'm on wait list though....

I love my Alegrias so much that in the last 2 days, I've ordered 4 pairs! Two thong style from DSW--my first in thong style, hope I like them--one pair from Zappo's, and the TSV in Pinwheel from QVC. I have several pairs already that I can hardly wait to wear this spring/summer.

Alegrias are hands-down the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn (haven't tried any of their closed shoes yet).

I did try a pair of Vionics once---whatever foot problem they are meant to correct is not one that I have. They were very uncomfortable!
