3 stars for the comfortable and supportive footbed, as all Alegrias have. I have a pair of Karmens that I've been happily wearing for 2-3 years and wanted a second pair of Algeria sandals that fit the same way. In this style, there was something hard jutting in (stitching or glue?) on the sides of each shoe, at the same spot, that dug into my foot as soon as I tried them on, so I returned them. Also, avoid buying from Right Foot Shoes, unless you want to pay a hefty 20% restocking fee if you need to return this item as I did.
