My new favorite shoes -
I bought these on vacation because the shoes I bought were just not comfy enough for a lot of walking. These were wonderful out of the box, no breaking in necessary. I usually wear 7.5 D but the 8 fit well. And I have a high arch. Now I'm checking out Zappos for other colors in this style and the rest of the Privo line.

First pair wonderful - second pair - not SO wonderful!
Ordered these shoes last year (April 07) and just like everyone else, they fit wonderfully right out of the box. Very, very comfortable - no need to break in". Perfect. Bought them to wear for 3 week trip to Europe, wore every single day. Walked for miles - no blisters - just perfect. FAST FORWARD to June 08 - now my "perfect" shoes are almost all worn down (I wear them almost every single day!). Ordered ANOTHER pair in same exact size, same style, different color - opted for the nubuck leather so the trim is different... got them and left shoe is too tight and rubbed on heel. Not comfortable at all. Gave them 2 days of carpet/tile wear - still not happy. Returned them for another pair identical to first pair - all nubuck and I am miserable
EVEN TIGHTER and MORE UNCOMFORTABLE ! Couldn't even get them on without a shoehorn, rubbed both back heels. Tried them for over 2 hrs, could NOT stand the discomfort, am returning them . I have no idea how same shoe, style, size, and model can have completely different feel. Loved the "Zappos" experience - they couldn't be nicer or make it easier, but after 2 tries - I give up... ( at least with these shoes). First pair would get all 5 stars - second and third pair only 1-2 stars...

Love this shoe!
I own 3 colors of the same shoe. I wore them on 2 trips to Africa last year and with all the walking my feet still felt great! I wear them almost everyday to work; as a teacher I am on my feet all day and they are my favorite shoes!

Great shoe all around - no problems at all!!
I was hesitant to order this after reading all the comments about the heel problems with this shoe, but I was so anxious to find something for an upcoming trip. They are fabulous shoes & I am not disappointed at all! I am not having any problems with the heel rubbing, maybe because I am wearing socks -- I figure if I'm going to go w/out socks, I'll wear sandals. Yes, it would be better if Clarks would make the heel back cushioned (why don't they listen to all this feedback??!!) This shoe is SO cute, the insole is SO comfortable and cushioned, it really is comparable to my winter SoftWalk shoes. I am thrilled to find this -- perfect for spring/summer in the grey/silver combo -- will order in the black for next fall & winter.

Love these and they fit nicely. The only problem is that the heel cup sits a tad high and rubs slightly - that is my only complaint. They are very light, fit nicely, look good, and are comfy
other than the heel cup.

Great shoes, but they squeak -
I love the shoes. They look good, they're light, and they're comfortable - I can walk for miles with no problem. Plus, I love that there are no laces to come untied, but about two weeks after getting the shoes, I starting noticing that they squeaked. LOUDLY! Even when they're completely dry, they continue to squeeeak! People turn around when I walk down the street, the squeaking is so loud. (They're such great shoes that I still wear them though.)

Good city shoe -
These shoes are cute; they slip on and look modern but still classic somehow. As other reviewers mentioned the heel kind of digs in, which isn't great; I'm hoping that subsides soon since I've only worn them a handful of times.

Great -
I just spent two months trekking in Southeast Asia and had with me two pairs of Privo Sofrito shoes. They were absolutely wonderful and I didn't feel tired at all after walking 4 hours.
I understand they want to discontinue this style and I think it would be a mistake. I had many compliments and left both pairs for people in Asia.

Comfy, but not especially stylish -
Do a lot of traveling and walking so looking for a shoe that I could slip out of easily at the airport, but were good for walking on cobblestones. These are lighter weight than traditional walking shoes, but think they will hold up well. Thinking of buying another pair.

Exactly what I wanted -
I'd been on a shoe quest for some time to find some cute slip on semi-athletic, but cute and appropriate enough for my mostly casual office and I finally found them. They are supremely comfortable! A few others have complained about the back of the heel, which yes is a bit high, but it hasn't bothered me much after the first few days once everything softened up. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had.

Love the Privo Sofrito -
I have had another pair of Privos before and loved them. They are so comfortable, I spent an entire 10 day vacation walking all over Europe in them and my feet felt great. The cushioning on the bottom and the flexibility of the top really gives you a comfortable fit. I love these shoes and plan on buying more.

Cute but rubbed my heel -
These shoes were very cute and could have gone with most of my outfits but they rubbed on my heel. I wanted them to work out but oh well. Cute shoe, just know that the heel is higher then most shoes I wear now.

I have 2 other Privo shoes that are similar but this style dug into my heel and caused a blister even though it is the same size and width.

I bought these shoes to wear on a trip to Europe. I'm wearing them now to break them in but have been extremely comfortable from day one! Very cute, stylish shoe!

Stylish and comfortable -
I like these shoes, but had to order them a half size smaller than what I normally wear. My only complaint is that the shoe rises fairly high a the back of the heel and until I break it in, it may give me a blister. I have added some heel guards to mitigate this.
I wanted these to walk around London and Paris in comfort and to also have something to run around the city in. I think these will work well if the heel situation works itself out!

Perfect Shoe!
I bought this shoe for a trip to Las Vegas. I took them out of the box and wore them for 3 straight days and a total of 30 miles on the Las Vegas Strip. No blisters anywhere! The shoes went well with jeans and sweat pants. Super lightweight!

Nice casual comfort -
I got the choc brown a few weeks ago. I like them, but I don't love them.
They look great with jeans and longer wide legged pants, but if you sit down and your pants slide up your leg they look kind of silly...(but that is just me).
I have worn them on three flights, (super easy for going through security in the airport) and lived in them for two trips to Arizona and one to New Hampshire. With the great stretchy material across the arch of the foot you can wear socks of all different weights which is nice. I have super narrow feet and cannot wear them with-out socks though.
Also, I am normally a size 8 but had to get the 7 1/2. If the black come back as available I would love to get them to have as good casual basic black shoe.
All in all these shoes are the perfect travel shoe or casual Friday shoe. They are great for running through the airport dragging your roller bag, slipping on and off through security and kicking off on the plane. Also great for Saturday run-around errands, splashy through "small" puddles on your way in from a parking lot.

Blisters!!!
While these shoes are cute and comfortable, I got a terrible blister on one of my heels. They are great...as long as I wear mule skin to protect my heel. Too bad, otherwise, wouldn't have given this shoe all 5 stars. I'd recommend trying on in a store before buying.
