I have many foot and hip issues. I have a job where I am on my feet all day long. Alegria shoes are the best of the best. I have worn many styles over the years and have never been disappointed
The most comfortable work shoe for my wide foot. I also love the soft brown leather. These are my favorite shoes. I still have a pair i have used for 2 years and just put new inserts in them.
I stumbled onto the Alegria brand by accident by purchasing the sandals elsewhere. They were such a game changer... I had to explore the other products. I came back for the Joleen Oiled Brown Professional Shoe. The quality and comfort are both unparalleled. I'm so glad to have my new shoes!!
I have bought this style of Algeria for work for years. When I unboxed this pair the bottom of the sole was sticky. Now after just worn twice it has got tiny and not so tiny rocks embedded into the sole and I did pull them out but it left big holes. My guess is some sealant step or process was missed as this must be a defect. Bummer because I bought them last call and can’t return. Now I’ll be more skeptical of any purchase.
Hi Karen. We are so terribly sorry to see the condition you received your new shoes in! No need to worry all Alegria shoes come with a manufacture's warranty, including Last Call or discounted items. Fortunately this looks like an isolated defect in the rubber of the slip-resistant pads of the shoe. Someone from our customer service team will be reaching out to you with further instructions how to send the shoes back to us.
Fit is perfect. I've been wearing Alegria shoes for several years and I'm always satisfied with the fit and comfort. This is a lower height heel, I am used to wearing, but comfortable.
I wear size 12/43. These shoes run small and narrow. I have other Alegria styles in my size that fit perfectly. I’ve found Algeria’s sizing to be inconsistent. The leather is stiff and uncomfortable, unlike the better quality of other styles.
Always great shoes and service.
I've loved the Joleen line for years. When I'm needing a new pair of shoes I hope I can find a different style that fits as well as the Joleen because the quality of alegria shoes are the best.
The shoe is true to size. Not too stiff, not too soft.
Great Pair of Shoes. Very Stylish and Comfortable
Joleen Oiled Ash Professional Shoe
Too heavy
Love these shoes...walk on concrete at work but, they keep my feet happy !
I ordered this shoe to refresh the pair I have had for years. Ordered Wide. The shoe delivered is not as wide as my old pair. I will be experimenting with nylon socks to see if I can move forward with wearing them.
I struggle with finding shoes that don't hurt my feet. So far these seem to be a shoe that don't hurt. I have a wide foot, and this shoe has a wide toe area.
These are just beautiful, fit perfect and are so comfortable!!!!
I have purchased Alegria shoes for many years now and they never disappoint. This is the second time I have bought this particular shoe. That should say everything.
I have two pairs f this brand that I still wear from 7 years ago. This pair gave me blisters and I can’t wear them.
Although the shoes appeared to be in good condition they were so streched out that they were too loose for me to wear. I really like Algeria shoes however I’m sending these to a friend that wants them.
Love these shoes. So comfortable and roomy on your toes. The inserts are replaceable. I have 2 pairs , my first pair are 5 yrs old and still look very nice. Definitely worth the $140.00
I got 2 pairs of Jolenes: oiled brown & ash to replace my worn every day pair. The roomy toe box has helped my bunions & toes to heal. Thick socks are needed for my narrow feet as are heel cushions to lift my ankles to the rim of the shoes.
great shoe - but it needs a fair amount of “break in” time. But once I did that, over a few days in my apartment, they were great!
I like them. Exactly the color brown I was looking for. Janie just have to get them broken in.
These shoes are awesome! They're roomy, flashy & well made. I will buy Jolenes again!
Thanks!
I love your shoes!
This is 5th pair.
Joleen is my favorite !
This shoe is one of the best pair of shoes I’ve ever owned. They are supremely comfortable and have great support. As someone with flat feet, who has a job as a nurse and has to be on their feet all day, these shoes work fabulously.
Very comfortable from the start
What a nice combo! I wore them right out of the box to work and was not disappointed. They felt like old friends right away. I love that feeling, don't you?
I discovered the Alegria Joleen shoes a few years ago and love them. I have gone through two pairs of the Houndstooth which sadly appears to be discontinued. I switched to the plain black professional and with both pairs within a couple of months of wearing the shoes, they developed a terrible squeak when I walk in them which has become so annoying that I can no longer wear them. I am now hesitant to buy any more of these shoes even though they are one of the only pairs of shoes that I have found comfortable enough to wear all day.
Hi Jeannette,
We’re terribly sorry to hear you've been experiencing a squeak in your Alegria Joleen shoes.
The great news is the Joleen comes with our signature classic footbeds that are removable and replaceable. If you've had your Joleen shoes for a year or longer we do suggest refreshing your step with a new footbed. The materials used in our footbeds are created to form to your foot giving you the personalize support you need. Over time these materials will become compressed and possibly cause a squeak. This is a good indication it is time to replace your footbeds.
We hope this information has been helpful.
I purchased the Joleens as my first pair of Alegria shoes from a local shoestore, and I have wanted to wear anything else! After years of intermittent plantar faciitis pain, the slight height in the heel is just perfect and now I rarely have foot pain. I also have a small hint of a bunion on that foot and it doesn't get sore like it did since I've started wearing my Joleens. Love the pretty embossed leather! Ashamed, I have not kept up with polishing and so I must give them a rejuvenating treatment once my Alegria sandals arrive. Before you know it, Alegria is all I will be wearing other than my hikers!
very comfortable
