Great non-Crocs option with heel support
596849
If your kid often stubs toe or uses feet as brakes for bike or play, then this is not the footwear for daily use.  The soles and arch support are far too thin and non durable for long term.  Would be best for a beach weekend trip or a warm rainy summer, or indoor.  Feet check every 30 min since wetness friction blisters or wet sand abrasions may occur with barefoot use.  Works best with socks but the look is funny.

I actually really like these shoes a lot.  I was unsure about ordering them, but quickly changed my tune upon receipt of them.  When I first was wearing them, they were tight, but I chose thinner socks and wore them in a little bit and now they are my favorite shoe to wear.  I work in a casual office, but am not allowed "tennis shoes" or sneakers in normal speak, so these serve as a casual, and now super comfortable alternative.  They have a thick rubber bottom, so they are cushy when you step, and I feel comfortable moving quickly in them if I need a quick getaway.  They are somewhat flat, so if you are looking for high arch support, these are not the shoe for you.  BUT there is enough arch support that you are not flat footing it.  I would definitely recommend these shoes, and I'll likely purchase another pair for myself - or two!

These shoes are fun and feminine without being girly. The chunky heel gives them a great balance to the frill on the front of the shoe. They are moderately comfortable for heels, but I ordered half a size up to make sure they won't pinch. I've had a lot of positive comments on them.

Comfortable (leather footbed FTW) and not too gaudy

I bought these because I have plantar fasciitis.  It makes my heels hurt very badly.  I have high arches and need support.  I like Crocs but they do not provide arch support at all.  I bought these because they specifically say that they provide arch support.  When I first put them on I was not sure it would be enough arch support but it was.  I have only been wearing them for about a week but my heels have almost completely stopped hurting.  This style is not the cutest but they really feel good on my feet.  I just wear them around the house and yard so they are perfect for what I need.

I love these, so comfortable - this is my second pair.
For crocs, they have a nice fur-like lining that feels good to the feet.
The texture of the outer surface is quite nice with the contracting smooth trim so I can wear them for casual, with dresses, slacks, anything.
They are very comfortable for long walks, in airports, etc....  easy to slip on and off and well proportioned for my sort-of wide feet.

I am not concerned about arch support, but the heel padding is great.

These are really cute and are very comfortable to wear (especially considering the heel height). For what it's worth I'm not a professional heel wearer and typically only wear heels for a couple of hours at a time every several months. Even then it's usually for sitting around. So I'd think these would work for a lot of people who may be new to heels. They seem pretty well made and the price was really great compared to what these shoes were going for elsewhere (and other shoes from the brand). They don't have a particularly soft or accommodating insole but I didn't find it bad. Some people may prefer an insole of some description but I think these would fit an insole nicely since they aren't particularly narrow and the toe box is pretty roomy.. I typically wear a size 6.5 and got a size 7 in these shoes and it fits well. I do have enough room that I may add an insole myself as I wear them more.

I am not a woman who wears heels often! For the most part, I wear flip flops, running sneakers or nursing clogs. I'm used to being on my feet a lot and know the importance of caring for them. With that said, these shoes are perfect! I love them with shorts, skirt or dress. They are nice enough to wear out to dinner but casual enough to wear with jeans or a jean skirt. Most importantly, they are comfortable enough that I can wear them all day walking around with no pain at all. The thong part of the sandal does not dig into my feet at all and the arch is very supportive. I brought these on a cruise recently and wore them throughout the trip and they held up great.

Great "croc-like" shoes. Excited to find a size 15 and for a reasonable price! I'm using these lined pair for slippers but I will be ordering more for unlined for everyday use.

I bought these Crocs to wear around the house, in lieu of slippers, because they provide better support and protection for my feet.  They run large, as advertised, so I bought a size 8 when I usually wear an 8.5.  I am not in love with them, because they are not the nicest looking shoes (thus only 4 stars instead of 5), but they do what they are supposed to do and I'm very happy to have them.

I purchased these to be walking shoes while on a 3 day trip in our capital. I didn't want to wear sneakers, so I found these as a supportive and stylish alternative. These were exactly what I was looking for. Like most new shoes, there was a bit of rubbing where my skin wasn't used to the different straps, but it wasn't obnoxious and it was probably a bit worse because of prexisting rubs from other shoes I've recently tried to break in. I padded the rubbed areas with a bandaid and moved on with my life. The footbed is extremely comfortable and they fit very well. The holes on the straps are a bit tough to fasten because they are pretty tight, but nothing some frequent use won't fix. New out of the box, these were the only shoes I wore for the past 4 days, and we walked museums, parks, monuments, and even got a bit lost at one point. They're not quite at the sneaker comfort level, they lack the foamy cush, but if you want something a little more versatile that you can still walk and dash in, these fit the bill. I wore them with everything from jeans, to dresses, to shorts and looked great in all of the above.

I was looking to switch from Dansko/Sanita pro type shoes to something with more cushion and a little more comfortable and these were suggested by several nurses. I am a nurse and work 12 hr shifts. I like these a lot and find them more comfortable than Dansko, plus they are not as heavy and I am less likely to roll my ankle now! I purchased 38 and have to wear really padded socks (like Thorlos) and added a seude heel insert and they still slide off my heel just a little, but I don't step out of them and they aren't causing blisters. 37 were too short for my toes though although they stayed on heel perfectly. The trick is to look at the right size chart as Alegria has two different ones and the sellers on Amazon don't always list the correct size chart for the right shoe, although it may not matter for some people. I wear a 38 in both, but the 38's in the "NEW" size chart (size 8-8.5) for their newer lines of shoes (like Dayna, Keli, etc.) don't fit quite as well for me with my narrow heels. 38 in "classic" chart (Seville, classic clog, Debra, etc.) is size 7.5-8 and fit a little better since with thick socks I am about an 8. I am providing the link to their site about sizing and how they should fit: [...] If you go to Alegriashoeshop.com and select your shoe and the sizing tab, it tells you which sizing chart should be viewed for that shoe. Also it says to leave 1/4 inch foot bed around your foot (toes and heels shouldn't touch), but with the closed back styles I didn't think they were supposed to be false backs like Danskos so not sure about that advice for every style. I don't have wide feet, but enjoy the roomy toe box.

I LOVE Earth brand shoes!  I have a displaced hip & thought my heel - wearing days were over (I am only 48).  Earth shoes are typically of leather construction, and these are no exception.  They have incredible arch "pillows" that cradle your feet & offer excellent support. I am between sizes in this brand. If a 10.5 M were offered, it would be my perfect size, but half sizes don't exist in this brand. I compensate by ordering a 10 M in backless shoes & 11 M in closed - back shoes (and then fill the space between my heel & the shoe w/ adhesive gel heel pads).  In this shoe, the footbed is fine but the straps are Velcro - close & a bit too long. I will simply apply more Velcro to the ankle straps in order to be able to secure the straps so they are not loose on my feet; not a big deal at all.  For the great price I got these for, and the comfort that I've come to love from Earth/Earthies shoes, I will happily make this small modification!

I don't wear heels...like never, but these worked for me. Could use more cushioning at ball of foot though. Not for all day wear!

As usual, the Crocs exceed my expectations for comfort. Love that! These are not really black. The picture is an accurate reflection of the color. My perfect shoe size is an 8 wide, but I usually have to order the next size to accommodate the width when the shoes do not come in wides. That is not the case for these. The 8's fit perfectly while the 9's were slightly large.

These shoes are very comfortable, can wear them all day without any stress or strain. The leather is very soft so there's no blisters, and there's a nice padding on the heel. The sole is a bit slippery, but this is a great heel for those who really can't handle heels. Got them in turquoise, super cute color. Can dress them up, dress them down. I'm thinking about buying them in another color now.
