Too long!
After reading the reviews, I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than usual. The shoe is still at least a half inch longer than my other shoes and it looks very long. It is cute and comfortable, but would be too narrow if I ordered a smaller one. This one is going back. You would think that a company like Clarks would have better size control. And, also, the color of the Summer Cotton is not as white as it looks in the picture. It is a light stone color with tan leather - nice but does not have the spectator vibe I thought it would have.

FABULOUS!!
I bought a pair in New York when my feet were killing me with all the walking. These are light, they breathe, and I am online buying another pair for my Houston trip. Only two issues are, they are thin and you will feel it if you walk on rocks, and gravel. Plus they are not the prettiest shoe, but they are great. They run big. I wear a 6.5, and I had to buy a 6.

Too big!
I loved the look of these shoes and own over a dozen pairs of Privos, but these ran huge!! The first time I had to send a pair back because of size. They would have been great for our FL vacation, but now I ran out of time. Too bad.

Comfortable, but not the most stylish -
Very light and comfortable shoe. Perfect for walking to work and then switching to dressier shoes at the workplace. Not super-stylish.

Comfortable for very short time and distance. Lightweight shoe looks better in picture than it is. Wore it one full day on trip to Italy and it was the only day my feet hurt. Fine when just worn out for the evening.

Great Shoe!
I wanted something that would be as comfortable as a tennis shoe, but not so heavy. Something that would breath and be a good walking shoe. This was IT!! Fits well, true to size, light, and breaths!

I liked this shoe a lot. It is lightweight, comfortable, and fits my wide foot. I was unable to keep it because unfortunately, there was not enough depth for my orthotics. So, I am returning this pair of shoes.

They are very comfortable and I think they look very nice. They do run rather large but since I intend to wear them with socks they will be fine. They are very light so even after walking all day your legs are not tired.

Great travel shoe -
I was looking for a light-weight sneaker to take on a trip to Africa that was somewhat more stylish than my running shoes. These were super-comfy and slipped off easily at airport security. I wore them walking around cities as well as dirt roads in villages and they held up fine. I even ended up hiking up a rugged trail on Table Mountain in Cape Town in them, and they were supportive enough that my feet didn't complain. I agree that they definitely run large. I ordered a half-size down and they were still too big, so I ended up going a full size smaller. The Zappos Customer Service people were friendly and helpful during the exchange process.

Very comfortable, but definitely not a shoe for walking on uneven surfaces, ie., lawn to gravel driveway, etc. Walking on even surfaces, they are great.

A great shoe for summer wear - My daughter recommended this shoe to me as it is so lightweight, but has enough support for my aging feet and would be good for everyday errand running and just around the house. I love this shoe. Have several pair of Privos and lots of Clarks. New Balance is my favorite sneaker type shoe but this Privo Iolite is a close second. I did order down one half size after reading the other reviews and was glad that I did. It fit perfectly in the size 8.

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!!

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.
