I don't care what my teenage daughter says, these are the best shoes.  I'm always one for comfort, so the rounded toe is my kind of shoe.  I'm petite--so I love the lift the sole gives me.  I'm active with 4 children, so I have to be able to dash at a moment's notice.  Alegria shoes are great with jeans, shorts and summer dresses and skirts--you can use them with winter dresses and shorts with a great pair of tights.  I am always given compliments and asked where I get my shoes -- This is my 4th pair of Alegrias.  My other three are the clog style with open back heel.  I find I wear 1 size smaller in the clogs and my natural size in the closed back shoes.
