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.

Terrific all purpose sneaker -
I got this sneaker in white. It fits comfortably with socks in winter and without in summer. Terrific arch support & no rubbing. I can walk all day in these!

Most comfortable and attractive shoe -
These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have and have fit perfectly from the start. I have 3 pair in different colors and wear them all the time and they do accommodate orthotics. They make my size 10 feet look small.

This is a cute, comfortable alternative to athletic shoes. I find my workout shoes too bulky for jeans and other weekend clothes, but this shoe is stylish and casual at the same time. Easy to slip on and off. I have them in two colors and get compliments on them all the time.

I loved the look of this shoe online and read lots of great reviews, so I went ahead and ordered it. I guess I had my expectations high and was pretty disappointed when I wore them out for the first time and experienced a blister on my right heel. They are the right size, but I find there isn't much "cushion" at the back of the shoe. I've worn them a few more times and they seem to be getting better. I do love the way they look though!

Cute little shoe!
Great shoe. Third pair of Privos I've ordered. I wear it for my workouts. Very comfortable, plus it is not as clunky as some athletic shoes can be... a little more feminine.

Very comfortable and goes with everything -
My sister has three pair of Privos and I really like the look of casual, but not tennis shoes. The Sofritos are very cushy and comfortable, but other Privos aren't. They do have a tight fit, so might not be good for those with wide feet.

Sofritos are great -
I am a teacher with a bad hip and an orthotic heel lift I wear in one shoe. I am also incredibly picky about shoe comfort - if they aren't like tennies, I won't wear them. Sofritos are incredible and look okay with slacks and jeans. I have them in 2 colors.

Warning! Wide sizes are also longer -
These are great shoes. Comfy, well made, and stylish. I have several pairs in the regular width, but my foot is wide, so I thought I'd try the wide size. I have now tried 3 pairs of "wide" and they are all one full size longer than they are marked as well as being wider. If you order the shoe in wide, definitely order 1/2 or 1 full shoe size smaller than you usually wear. If you wear orthotics, the wide size will definitely accommodate the extra volume.

Love These Shoes!
These shoes are not only comfortable and supportive, but they are good looking too. I wear them every day and hate to take them off. Supportive insoles and roomy inside make them easy to wear - nice colors too!

I found the one!
I always wanted to try Privos - esp. since I heard they were made by Clarks. I bought a pair of Privo Mesa Flats and wore them in London. I hated them so much; they dug in the back of my heel! I returned those and bought these Sofritos in grey and have found the one! I wore them all over Vegas & around town and love love them! Must buy!

Privo Sofrito -
This was my first try with this brand and so far so good! They are very light-weight and will be perfect for running errands, travel or just weekend wear. Because they are slip-on, they are roomy once they're on, but nothing to be concerned about. They are not shoes you can wear without socks, though. If you plan to go sans socks, you may want to consider a 1/2 size smaller.

A great everyday shoe!
I bought this shoe in stone and it looks great with jeans as well as casual pants. I have wide feet and wanted the option to wear these shoes with socks so I went up a half size (I normally wear a 9 1/2 and got a 10) and they are perfect. I have never experienced the back of the heel rubbing, probably because I went up that half size and they fit great with or without my socks on. Fantastic for walking around shopping or sightseeing. While this shoe is super flexible and comfortable with a great heel cushion, I wouldn't recommend it for working out because it doesn't have enough cushion in the arch and ball of foot.

Great shoes -
I have to wear orthotics and I have a hard time finding a quality shoe that they will work with.
I have worn these shoes everyday since they arrived. I can tell they are not only good for my feet but also for my back. I only wish I would have ordered more.

Love 'em!
This is my second pair of these - the first are getting a bit grungy, but I love them so much, I bought a back up pair. The very first time I tried them on, I loved them and they're so comfortable! I really like the black with sort of a periwinkle blue accent color.

LOVE THESE SHOES -
I have three pair of these shoes. I have had 2 back surgeries and these shoes are the easiest on my back and feet. I highly recommend them. I did have to order a 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear.

Had to return shoe. 72% said it had a moderate arch support, but for me it felt as if there were none. Shoe was nice and light (especially for travel, which I wanted it for), but without an arch support, it just didn't feel right.

Really comfortable -
I have flat feet and when walking a lot (like on vacation), I have trouble with my heels, even in shoes I normally find comfortable (flats, sneakers like Converse or Pumas). The insole of these Privos hug my heels more and I like the slip-on ease versus laces on other sneakers.

Feels Good On The Feet!
I was looking for a shoe that feels like a sneaker, but looks a little more upscale. These shoes fit the bill. I bought them in black. The first thing you'll notice about the shoes is the insole. It looks like something that would massage my feet. The shoes are very comfortable and they do feel like a good pair of sneakers. The only drawback (the reason for the 4 stars) is the heel of the shoe doesn't have any padding like a sneaker does and will rub the back of your ankles. Don't wear them without socks unless you want sore, skinless ankles. To overcome this problem, I just wear my favorite pair of Thorlos and off I go. If you do a lot of walking and want a shoe that will keep your feet comfy and looks good in jeans, too, buy them.

Cute and Lightweight -
If I am going to do lots of walking or hiking, I need a shoe with more support and arch support, but these shoes are great for every day wear. They are very attractive and I plan to buy more of the same style in more colors.

They could be dancing shoes -
They could be dancing shoes, but I use them for Tai Chi as I'm not such a great dancer. It is almost as if you are not wearing shoes. No weight, pure comfort. They are so soft that even for a normally wide foot they fit well and look great. Blue shoes with blue jeans are the best!

Privo Pleases -
I use the Privo shoes... have 6 pairs in a variety of styles for exercise, for travel, for golf... and get comments on them wherever I go. They are comfortable, provide great traction and support, and look good. Some styles tend to be quite wide and sometimes I have to get a smaller size than normal because of that, so you do have to be willing to experiment with size. This particular shoe was true to size for me and fit perfectly.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: All the Privo styles.

He had been looking for MONTHS online and could not find any available in his size. You made his day and mine. Thank you SO much and keep doing great things for people and it will pay off! |  | ~ Lisa M., August 16 2008
