Very light and comfortable. I was looking for an alternative to clunky athletic type walking shoes and these are great, although they might not be supportive enough for really heavy duty walking. I wish more Privos came in wide widths.

My Foots says finally...
I've had bunion surgery on the top of each foot at the big toe joint, so try finding shoes that are comfy. It's impossible, but finally my feet are happy feet. I actually wear 8.5 usually, but the 8's are spacious, almost wondering if a 7.5 would fit. For all you fellow sufferers, try these they're great. I also have very high arches, and these feel good.

Great casual shoe!
Had to exchange the shoe for a half-size smaller, which fit great! I would suggest ordering based on whether or not you plan to wear socks with these shoes (I needed a half-size smaller to wear them without socks). Very comfortable CASUAL shoe, i.e. it is not made to be an athletic shoe -- lightweight and doesn't have all the extra padding/support that a walking/running shoe has. I like it very much!

Not very sturdy -
I was looking for a "fashionable" athletic inspired shoe for an upcoming trip with a lot of walking so I ordered the Privo Iolite. It is definitely comfortable - feels more like a slipper than a shoe. But I have wide feet and there simply wasn't the support/structure and cushioning that I was looking for.

No break in time!
Very comfortable right out of the box - exceptionally flexible and soft - and I love the retro look. The sizing was spot on. I have slightly lower arches, so the arch support fits high and a bit close for my comfort level. Also, this shoe is not made for any distance walking on pavement. The sole is sectioned for ease but is rather thin so it does not absorb repeated steps on the sidewalk. Otherwise, a great, kick around, casual sneak.

The "comfy & cute" walking shoe hunt is over!!
I ordered these in the beige color. I am getting married and going to Italy on my honeymoon and have been stressing out about finding comfortable shoes. I found them!!! I am a shoe freak and have every possible designer shoe out there. I am just now realizing the comfort thing is more important in long term situations and am happy to say they are both comfy and cute!! My shopping buddies all want to know where I got them. I haven't fessed up that they are from Zappos yet. Thanks Zappos for helping me cross one thing off my wedding list of "to dos". I found my walking shoes!!

Privo Iolite -
If you have narrow feet these may not be for you - they stretch pretty fast - in days. Nice to have something cute and not clunky. Orthotics must be worn above the shoe liner and then add another inner sole. Pluses - light weight and cool.

I was shopping for casual summer shoes that were comfortable from the moment I put them on my feet and I was lucky enough to find these. I originally ordered an 8W, but found I needed a half size smaller. These are the lightest shoes I own and feel like bedroom slippers with support. I can hardly wait to get another pair in another color; hope they don't sell out too quickly!

First pair of Privos I own and just love them. They are extremely comfortable. Took them out of the box and wore them walking around the entire day throughout the streets of Los Angeles, CA.

Not exactly a sneaker -
I had to return these shoes because I was looking for the support of a sneaker. The soles are very thin, so don't expect to be getting an actual sneaker. They are comfortable, and feel more like slippers (or upscale Keds). The style is cute, though they seem to run a half-size larger than marked. If you want a simple shoe that looks like a sneaker, these could be a nice casual shoe.

My feet thank me!
The moment I slipped my feet into these shoes, I breathed a sigh of relief. These shoes feel like home! I wore them immediately, riding public transit and walking all around downtown San Francisco, and when I returned home 7 hours later, my feet still felt as fresh and comfortable as the first time I laced them up. I am going to buy more Privos in different styles so that my feet can look and feel this good every day!

Fab!
These shoes are soo comfortable. I have problem feet and I walk A LOT for work when on business trips (9 hours a day). I bought these for my latest trip and they were the best things ever! These shoes look really cute (I bought the Summer Cotton Leather version), are super light and more comfortable than bare feet (I didn't ever think I'd say that!).

Too long, too skinny...
I ordered a 6.5 W. I know for a fact these are a 1/2 size larger than normal, because I wear the appropriate length in 6.5 in other brands. I may be in denial about being a WW, instead of W, though. But these were definitely about 1/2 inch too long. They were reasonably tight, if I'd worn them, I'd get blisters. Very light, probably easy to walk in. If you agree with a flexible shoe, these would be yours. I returned, but I could not reorder as they didn't have a black 6WW.

For both reasons.....
I have worn the shoe to work just once, on free dress day - I am a teacher. I wore it with thick socks and it felt a little snug at first, but that is what I expected. I was comfortable all day. I did not do any playground running with my class, nor did I do an extensive amount of walking - only lots of standing. This shoe is comfortable, it does not feel cushy or padded on the bottom - but I fine the few times I have worn it.

I do really like these shoes for everyday but don't have enough
support to wear to work (on my feet for 12 hr). The only thing I really ,really don't like ....is the shoe laces ,they are LONG and won't stay tied! They do feel good, no need to break in for daily wear at home or going to town.

So comfy, cute and light weight. I had to buy 7.5 instead of 8 but had other Privo shoes and knew they run a little bit bigger than normal.
Awesome shoes

Great shoe -
I bought these because I needed a black shoe for work and I love my Privo Soffritos. Thought I couldn't go wrong. While I do like these and love the look, they are not quite as "cushy" as the Soffritos. My job is only 5 hours a day on my feet, and I do fine with them, but a 12 or 14 hour day might be difficult.
