These are the most expensive, most practical shoes I've ever bought in my life. They are so comfortable, only set back is they run large. I wear a 10.5 wide, I have bunions, plantar fasciitis, and flat feet, the worst cases ever. I still ordered a 10 medium and they were still too wide and too big, I wish I would have gotten them in a 9.5 medium. But still best comfort shoes I've ever owned. Can't wait to get them in other colors.

Ordered my regular size, but it was too big in the heel. Slipped off heel when walking. Not as cute for my purposes as the Merrell Relay Tour.

Comfy, comfy, comfy -
Just spent 3 days on vacation walking around historic sights and this shoe was the most comfortable I've had in a long time. Runs pretty big. I ordered a 7, usually wear 7 1/2, and had to put a heel cushion in to take up some room but with that insert, the shoe fits great.

Cute & comfy, but runs BIG!
I'm so disappointed! These feel like they'd be super comfy and the style is kind of clunky, but still cute and they run really big. I normally wear an 8 wide (to accommodate my bunions), but I followed the advice of the other reviewers and ordered a 7.5 wide. It was still way too long, slipping right off my heel. (The width did feel good though.) I'm dubious about ordering a whole size smaller than I normally wear, so I'm returning them and am just going to try a different shoe.

My first Privo -
I am a proud own of the Privo Float in the sage green. Normally I wear a size 8 shoe and occasionally a 7.5 but these definitely run large. I had to send the first pair back for a 7. Zappos is the best about returns and exchanges! The shoe is super light weight and reminds me of a slipper with support. I won’t be going for a five mile walk in them but for shopping, strolling, and for casual wear they are great. Their look is good, too. I have had several compliments. I live in Iowa so this is definitely a spring and summer shoe. I took one star off under comfort because I had one issue. The heel was continually slipping. It was not painful and it did not cause blisters - it was just annoying. I bought some Dr. Scholl’s gel heel liners and put those in. Now the shoes are perfect – no more slipping.

OK shoe, but not for me -
This is a sporty little shoe that is very light weight. The weight reminds me of a ballet slipper or those cheap little black shoes you can buy in International districts. Another similarity is the arch support which is non-existent. It doesn't really look like it will hold up too well over the long run, so I plan to return it and get something sturdier.

Soft Shoes -
I read through all of the reviews that said these shoes ran large, but NOOO, did I believe them? I ordered a 9W, my usual size, and I swam in them. I reordered the 8 1/2 W and they were perfect. My only complaint is that the color (black) does come off on my toes when I wear them with bare feet. And that's too bad, because they are extremely comfortable with bare feet. They look good enough for work, as well as with shorts or pants. Great shoes, I'll probably order another color as well.

This shoe is one of the most comfortable shoes I've owned. Definitely order a half size smaller. I am a 10 wide on a good day, and I had to return them for a 9 1/2. I'll probably order another color as well!

Love them! I took them on vacation and had no problems. I ignored the reviews to size down and had to return the first pair. So, size down.

I Love these!
These are just dressy enough to wear to my somewhat-relaxed office, and are still fun enough that I want to wear them everywhere else, too. I liked them so much I got them in three different colors! They are a little long for their size, so you may want to order a half size down. I like them a little loose, so I kept them the way they were (plus they don't have anything smaller than a 6). I have wide feet and the wide is great.

This is my third pair of the Privo Float. I am a nurse and bought the white pair because the other two pair I have are so comfortable. I also have them in black and the brown. They look so cute with jeans or capris as well. I will definitely keep buying this brand of shoe.

Great shoes/ what's with the wide heel?
I love this shoe so much I ordered three pairs! Light and breezy feel to it. The inside is so comfortable; you'll be tempted to go without socks.
However... what's with the heels? I had to use THREE heel liners to be able to wear them, or they slid off my feet.
However, the front of the shoe is so comfortable, weighing practically nothing...so I did it. You can wear with jeans or dress slacks. Probably not a dress or skirt...maybe a skirt.
Great shoe...but I'd love to see a heel more in line with the rest of the world. I cannot believe most people have such wide heels.

A pretty nice shoe overall...
The heel area is a bit wide (ah, the joy of buying yet another set of stick on heel liners!), and the strap cross the top is a bit shorter than I'd like - as if it assumed your foot is literally thinner top to sole? - but it's mounted with elastic to stretch pretty easily. Strap area squeaky unless perfectly centered across foot. *I'd say to be sure to order half-size down for barefoot, normal size for thinner socks.* Insole does not absorb odor, if that's a worry for bare feet inside shoes.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Most Privos fit similarly ...

OK, not great -
I bought these hoping for a casual pair of shoes to wear to work that are as comfortable as my Clarks sandals, these aren't it. They are a nice soft and flexible shoe, but as another review stated, the strap crossed the widest part of the foot and ended up pinching me. As far as looks, they're okay, sort of cute, not great. These are going back. I can't say enough about Zappos though, amazing customer service.

Very cute, BUT sizing way off!
These are super cute, but super long. I have Clarks sandals that run long, too, so that must be normal for this brand. I wear a size 7 1/2 and I had to go down to a 6 1/2. Other than the sizing issue, these look really cute on.

This is a very comfortable, good-looking shoe. I already had a black pair and wanted a white pair for summer. I guess the best advertisement is when you come back for more!!! I need a wide width and this is one shoe that accommodates my foot.

Runs narrow, comfortable for moderate walking, cute -
Based on the recommendations of other Zappos reviewers, I ordered a half-size smaller (8.5) than my usual size (9). The shoe fits my foot nicely. I have narrow feet and researched shoes on Zappos for several days before making my decision. In regular width, these shoes are pretty narrow. My heels slip only slightly in them, which is typical with any shoe since my heels are so narrow. The shoes feel a bit tight around the widest part of my foot, but I expect them to loosen up as I wear them. The leather upper is soft and relatively thin, so they feel somewhat like wearing a sock. They still require a little breaking in though. I wouldn't wear these walking miles and miles, but they are comfortable shoes for moderate walking. The leather part that's not perforated is slightly shiny, but not sparkly. It doesn't detract from the shoe at all. The insoles are not removable and inserting an insole over them makes the shoes pretty tight.

Good -but not great- shoe!
This is a really good-looking shoe. I have the brown/bronze and I really like it. It is a fun flat to throw on wherever you go - dressier than a sneaker but not fussy. It is also a comfortable shoe in that there is some shock absorption and whatnot, but I could have used more arch support and I did get a blister on each foot near the knuckle of my big toe. I had to lay off the shoes for a bit. This was annoying, but other than that, no problems wearing right out of the box. My heels were happy, lol.
