I'll make this short and to the point.

Pros: Nicely constructed. Quality materials. Somewhat stylish (though a bit blocky). Great heel support. Lots of room for my toes.

Cons: I wish the strap had more give. I have plump feet, and the strap digs in quite painfully. An elasticized piece on the side or the option for adjustment (as simple as a slightly longer strap) would have been nice. The most pressing issue for me was the arch support. I don't know if it's the position of the support or the extent of it, but it digs in painfully into my arch. At the end of the day, I feel like I have a stone bruise on the bottom of my feet. This is not the norm for me either. I own several brands of comfort shoes (Clarks, Hushpuppies, Naturalizers), and none of them have ever put pressure on my arch like the Alegrias do.

UPDATE:  I've since had these shoes for a few months, and I have to say that they fit a bit better now. I guess my feet have molded the interior fit. It still leans quite a bit into my arch, but the overall benefit at the end of the day is worth a little bruising. However, I cannot give it five stars because the strap is still an issue. Better now (I've lost weight and apparently my feet have shrunk a bit too), but I know plenty of skinny people with plump feet and just think an elasticized portion at the base of one side would have been a smart move to make.
