It's all about the insole!
Curious about how a simple swap of an insert ACTUALLY changes the width of your favorite Alegria shoe? Keep reading to find out the 411 on these wide width inserts!
If you’re an Alegria lover, you know one of the shoe’s greatest features is a removable footbed. If you have a special orthotic, if you need to replace your dirty (maybe even stinky) footbeds, or if you need to change from a medium width to a wide width, this removable insert pops right out. It’s not sewn or glued in, but instead, simply interlocks in place.
What’s the difference in the medium and the wide inserts you ask? The wide insert is just a touch thinner, but only in areas that will not affect comfort or support. Trust us! We’re the Alegria shoe experts! This insert is constructed differently to drop your foot deeper into the widest, deepest part of the base. This will gain you extra width as well as additional room across your instep. Works like magic! The leather upper of the shoe remains exactly the same.
This removable insert really comes in handy! Why buy a new pair of shoes when you can just change out the footbeds?! We offer a free wide set at time of purchase (make sure to select the matching size!). Of course, if selecting wide, you forfeit the standard medium insert. If you just need a replacement pair or two, we sell these online in medium and wide for $24.95. Check under our Accessories tab on www.alegriashoeshop.com.
So to recap—the wide footbeds add width as well as room across your instep, in case you have a higher than average instep. Also, if you’re right smack dab between sizes, try the small of the two sizes and add the wide option. Oftentimes, this allows your foot to slide further into the shoe, allowing just enough room where your heel isn’t so close to the edge. Pretty amazing huh? Not all Alegria styles offer this removable footbed option, but most do. Happy shopping!

I wear a 40 D. Are Alegria shoes going to fit my fat foot?
ReplyDeleteHi BarbCarol! We'd definitely advise requesting the Wide insoles on any Alegria shoes you select. We've had tons of folks who wear D width shoes tell us that the Wide insole makes all the difference in the world for them. The insole is designed to give extra space around the toe box. And if you find that it is still not the perfect fit we offer FREE returns on your purchase. Hope this helps! Thanks--Alegria Shoe Shop :-)
ReplyDeleteI have several pairs of Algeria Karman sandals and two pairs of clogs. Can you replace the footbeds in these shoes? I wear size 40. They are getting really dirty. I wear them all the time!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann! Yes you can replace the footbeds in both the Alegria Karmen sandals and the Alegria Classic clog! For the Classic clogs select the exact same size insole, size 40. However, for the Karmen sandal you'll want to select a size down, so in this case size 39. Feel free to click this link to select your insoles http://www.alegriashoeshop.com/Alegria-Replacement-Inserts-p/alg-insert.htm. Thanks--Alegria Shoe Shop!
ReplyDeletewhere can I find the new replacement footbed. My sandals all squeak
ReplyDeleteHello! Replacement insoles can be purchased online at this address: http://www.alegriashoeshop.com/Alegria-Replacement-Inserts-s/75.htm. With most sandals you will need to order one size smaller than the shoe size; pull out the old insole and check the underside to confirm the size. Replacing the insole is a great way to recapture the compfort of your favorite shoes after a few seasons of wear!! Also, if you need more assistance, please feel free to contact customer service at 888-775-5655--we are happy to help with this issue!! Thanks--Alegria Shoe Shop
ReplyDeleteI am interested in a pair of professional clogs. Do they all have latex?
ReplyDeleteHello! All Alegria shoes are constructed with a leather upper (both inside and out). The removable insoles is constructed with a latex, cork and memory foam blend that is covered in a suede leather. So your skin is in contact with breathable leather at all times. Hope this helps!--Alegria Shoe shop
ReplyDeleteI have a few pairs that have started squeaking. Is theresomething Ican do about that?
ReplyDeleteHi Gail! So sorry to hear about this. The manufacturer, PepperGate Footwear, has recommended (and I know this will sound weird) to put a clothes dryer sheet underneath the insole. The dryer sheet helps reduce the friction that can develop over time causing that squeaky sound. If you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our customer service department at 1-888-775-5655 -- Alegria Shoe Shop
