Detailed Review
When you choose the Alegria Women's Victoriah Oiled Brown Slide Sandal, you are investing in footwear that prioritizes both comfort and style. The moment you slip them on, you'll notice the plush fuzzy lining which immediately elevates your comfort level. The adjustable hook-and-loop strap allows you to tighten or loosen the fit according to your preference, making these sandals great for different occasions, from casual outings to work environments.
The podiatrist-certified arch support is a standout feature for anyone who spends long hours on their feet. This level of support can help mitigate fatigue and discomfort, making it a recommended choice for healthcare professionals and educators alike. Additionally, the mini rocker outsole plays a crucial role in enhancing pressure distribution across your feet, which is essential during long shifts.
However, be aware that while the Alegria Victoriah sandals shine in comfort, they do come at a higher price point. Some users have also reported a brief break-in period where the sandals might feel stiff initially. It’s worth considering your foot type as these are not available in wider widths, which could pose a challenge for some. Overall, if you are looking for a supportive, stylish, and durable sandal for daily wear, the Alegria Women's Victoriah is a strong contender.

They are true to size, comfortable, good-looking. They go with everything in my wardrobe. I would buy them again.
Update: Still very happy, and discovered an added bonus on this shoe: the top strap hits my arch just right and provides added support there, which is needed. The pattern is also not as flashy as I had feared!These arrived yesterday, and while I don't usually write a review right away, I'm so happy with these that I wanted to share! I have been struggling for several years after breaking my ankle to find shoes that allow me to "go all day" without pain and discomfort. I need a rocker bottom, but don't like the really thick soles that usually entails. I have some HOKA sneakers that really work well, but who wants to wear clunky sneakers all summer? I bought the Alegria Viki and Vienna sandals last year and really enjoyed them, but I wanted something I can just quickly slide into for around the house. The Victoriah is perfect. The adjustable band fits right over the arch, which adds some extra support right where I need it. I haven't yet walked any significant distance in them, but there is no sign of rubbing or chafing so far. I also bought the Caiti ankle boot and they were great also! I'll be back for more of this particular shoe and this brand.
This brand of sandals are so comfortable. I have been pleased with 5 pair of shoes and sandals that I purchased.
I really wanted to love these because they are cute & ALMOST fit, but I found them about 1/2 size too small. I wear a size 8 & ordered their 8-8.5, but my heel touched the lip of the heel. The nice part was the Velcro strap that could be adjusted since my foot is slimmer. The other issue for me was the heel cushion insole was narrow in the heel & the rim is rigid, so it hurt my left heel, where I have spurs/plantar fasciitis. The other foot didn’t seem to be a problem, so someone without heel pain would enjoy these supportive shoes. May try the next size up, but really wish the cushion in the heel area covered the whole heel cup.
Very comfortable
l started having foot pain a couple years ago and as I stand for most of my work day started to investigate "nursing" shoes. I discovered two brands of clogs that work for me (I'm a 41 in Sanita and a 9 in a Klog) but wanted some non clogs too. This brand had a lot of options and good reviews. I went to a DSW store just to try on a pair of Alegrias and found the 39 a little too small so knew the "classic size" 40 (DSW had only one style and didn't have anything over a 39) was probably my size - I usually fit a 9 1/2. Basically, size up just a bit and if this is your first pair I would make sure the vendor offers free returns just in case. I now have several different styles of Alegria shoes. My favorite non sandals are Seville, Paloma, and Belle. The only sandals I had, before these, were the Venice. They are all size 40s so once you find your size I've found the sizing to be consistent. These were comfortable from the moment I put them on. This color is not white, it is silver, which is a wonderful neutral that will work with most of my summer dresses. I think they look dressier than my Venice sandals, and they feel slightly less wide, which I like. Bottom line: Nice looking, comfortable Sandal that can work with most summer skirts/dresses. These ones have the smaller rocker bottom so they look less clunky than some Alegria.
Love this shoe!! Wear it with floor length gown because it was stylish and comfy!!
I love this brand because they are made with quality, and last a long time. I also love that the angle of the footbed aligns my bad knee very well, and reduces the pain, just as my old clogs were the only shoes I could wear before I had the other knee replaced. This is the first time I bought the sandals, and I’m not entirely a fan. Good support, and the arch strap is adjustable, but the crossed straps across the forefoot are not, and they are too wide, causing my foot to slide, and the overall look to be clunky. Allegra loves sparkle these days, and I already returned one pair that turned out to have rhinestones that weren’t obvious in the picture, so I looked super-close before ordering these. If you are expecting a matte finish as I was, you will be disappointed. They are super-sparkly, which just enhances the clunky look! I’m afraid I’m disappointed and it’s too late to return..
