Another TSV shoe I won't order.

Today's TSV is an Alegria shoe.  I've never worn any shoes from that line and would be interested to give them a try.  Unfortunately, once again they aren't being offered in narrow.  The only way I can wear medium width shoes is with socks because otherwise, I walk right out of them.  I noticed these shoes come in both medium and wide, but we slender feet women are out of luck, again.

 

If anyone knows if these shoes run a bit narrow, please tell us!

I agree! I have seen cute shoes I would order but need a narrow width.

I have 2 med. pairs I bought but need inserts and heel pads to wear them.  

That doesn't make sense. I noticed shoes gap on some of the slender models

and I bet they wear narrows.

Responding to 1st 2 Posters...Ladies.. I wear a 7M and once ordered an Allegria shoe in my size and they were too big. I’m assuming if u are a Narrow width, they would be even bigger! Unfortunately, I’ve never ordered again.

Re: Another TSV shoe I won't order.

Based on my experience with Alegrias these run on the wider side.   That is what I have found in general with European sizing.  My feet run on a slighly wider side so the Alegria shoes I have order fit me perfectly in the medium width.

 

I don't care for the patterns offered so I won't be ordering the TSV but I love the footbed of the Alegria shoes I have.  So comfortable.

I notice a lot of nurses and other health care professionals wear them so they must be comfortable if you can find your proper size.  I honestly think they are kind of ugly.  I wear narrow widths in shoes but I have never been tempted by this brand.

I'm done with Alegria.  I have several pairs of sandals and I just don't wear them anymore.  I don't like the orthopedic look of them.

I just heard them say that the toe box on the medium is actually cut to be more of a C width than a B. That is not good news for this AA girl. I do have some medium width shoes, but as someone else said, I have to add inserts to take up the extra width. Generally, I think there are too few people with narrow feet to make it profitible for the manufacturers to fool with accomodating us.

I too see a lot of healthcare workers in these shoes.

 

To me, these are just plain ugly.

Re: Another TSV shoe I won't order.

I have a pair of their sandals, and I wear a 6 Medium and mine were a perfect, most comfortable fit...I don't like all of the designs on the TSV, the sandals that I have are a solid color and go with everything. They are some of the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn..

 

I do think however, if you have a slender foot, the medium width may still be too big for you..I really wish they would have offered more solid designs, I don;t like shoes with all of that on them......

Folks on here may call the shoes ugly but plenty of people think they are not only good-looking but extremely comfortable.

 

Maybe that’s the reason as a company they have been so successful for so many years and all of those “beautiful" shoes have fallen by the wayside.
