Same size, 2 different fits -
I purchased the Red/Black, size 5M. I loved them so much I bought the Black ones. The Red/Black fit perfectly but the Black feel much looser, bigger overall. I would like to get the Chestnut colour but won't take the chance.

Comfort -
I truly love the comfort this shoe gives. I must say at first I did not like the look of the shoe so I started with one pair first it grew on me. Now I have three different colors. At the time the store had four colors one was red and I do not wear red shoes. I am liking the other two colors I see on your site. This shoe is like wearing sneakers. Great shoes.

Privos ROCK -
My recent purchase was actually my 3rd pair of Privo shoes. I love them. They truly are comfortable and modern looking. Great for working women with sensitive feet who cannot were heels all day long but still want to look nice and feminine.

High back -
The back of this shoe comes up very high and dug into my Achilles tendon, but an inside heel pad brought it to a better point. Overall a comfortable and attractive shoe.

Oso is oh so comfy -
SO... I bought a couple of pairs of Clarks based on some recommendations. Good idea! I work all day then go to night classes for a master’s degree AND I live in a big city that requires walking a lot. SO... I needed something dressy (for me, they're dressy) for work, but something that I could walk about a mile in without screaming/cursing/generally hating the world. These do the trick. Now... these are not the most beautiful shoes you will ever find, but they're not ugly either. They’re... just... plain. My one complaint is that around the edges it has already started to pucker/ripple a bit, but not enough for anyone but me to notice. HOWEVER... they are comfy. I came to realize pretty quickly that in order to have comfy shoes, I had to give up some style.

Shopping for my second pair -
These shoes went from store to street tours in 3 cities without a break-in period. Perfect airport shoes, comfortable for all the walking, quick slip-off, and possible to wear with or without socks. Cute casual wrinkle design without the actual flimsy material. I've had the Privo Osos for a few months and they are my go-to everyday shoes; I'm ordering a second color now.

Not For Me -
What a disappointment. I've always had good luck with Clarks brands, but not with this one. Most reviews say that the shoe runs large, but my toes are crammed to the end of this 8 1/2 shoe. The toe curves up a bit and makes it additionally uncomfortable. After 3 hours of walking in the Privo Oso, my toes and balls of my feet were aching. But the worst part about the shoe is how the back comes up too high around my heel and digs into it when I walk. Plus, I think the leather looks very cheap and overall the shoe looks a little matronly. For the price, I definitely don't feel like I got my money's worth. They're not for me.

These shoes are great! I would have given them 5 stars for comfort, but I had some rubbing on my left heel when I wore them for the first time. (But I am pregnant, so my feet might have gotten a little swollen during the day). These shoes are super light-weight, and the padding is wonderful. I bought them in black, and I think that they are cuter in person than they are in the picture.

Great shoe -
Great, comfortable, nice looking. Just the bottom outer sole is a little weird/less elegant, but I still wear it with my business clothes as well as casual. Thinking of getting another pair.

Cute and Comfortable -
I have been wearing this in black for months and just ordered it in red. Very little break-in was required. I have a little arthritis and some other foot pain and these are really comfortable with bare feet or pantyhose. Probably not good for narrow feet.

I love these shoes. Extremely comfortable. They were perfect so I sent for a second pair. I am a teacher. I stand all day. These shoes are so comfortable and easy to wear that the day passes without aching feet. That is a gift!!!!!!

I love these boots! They are retro and feminine. The heel is not that high and very comfortable to walk in. Like the other customer, the toe box is wide and I didn’t buy a wide width. The shaft of the boot does fit snug, but not tight.

Comfy and Cute!
I love this shoe! It's comfy, casual and looks great. Although I feel the back of the shoe is slightly higher than most other shoes, it doesn't bother me much. I love that it has good support, rather than wearing other ballet type flats that have no support. I would definitely recommend this shoe!

The shoe was a little tight when I first started wearing it. After three wearings, it is very comfortable. It looks great. I got the red and I have received several compliments on them. Other reviews mentioned that they smell after awhile, but I have not (yet?) experienced any odor. I am delighted with the arch support in this shoe. It isn't the same as an athletic shoe, but for a flat, it is good.

The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn!
I have never written a review for anything but I must spread the word about this shoe! I work retail in a very high end dept. store and have very sensitive feet. I stand on marble floors 9 hours a day, usually in pain even in my "granny" Danskos which are not dressy at all. I needed cute flats to wear with skirts and the style of these are perfect. I wore these on a Saturday (the busiest day of my week) and almost cried because for the first time in 6yrs my feet did not ache, hurt or burn. I have always had pain in the ball of my foot but not with these! They actually felt good! They did rub my heel a little but a heel pad will fix that. I did use my gel arch support as extra insurance of comfort so the shoe was fine even though it felt a little loose without it. If you work retail, this shoe will change your life. I am buying one in every color!

Wore them for 5 hours straight out of the box! I've bought and returned a lot of shoes lately as nothing seems to fit or more importantly, be comfortable! LOVE THEM!!! Am ordering more in different colors!

Best shoes ever! These are my favorite shoes. They are flats but have decent support so your feet don't hurt when you are in them all day. I live in NYC and do a lot of walking and these are by far my favorite summer shoes to spend all day in. I have the black ones and they are dressy enough for skirts but not too fancy.

Love it!
I love this shoe. I got them in red, and I get compliments every time I wear them. They look great with pretty much anything, but capris especially. I can't normally wear ballet slipper-type styles because my feet are different sizes, and rather narrow, so the shoe won't stay on one or both feet. I don't know why, but that hasn't been a problem with these. The back of the shoe does chafe my heel, and I can't wear them without either soft heel pads or sheer socks - but I have that problem with most shoes. On very hot days (I live in Texas) my feet tend to really overheat in these if I'm outside much, but that's the biggest problem I have.

Very comfortable -
I am on my feet most of the day teaching and these shoes are very comfortable. I have terrible trouble with heel pain, so I am very picky about my shoes. I have these in the gold and black and they are great. I think super flat shoes make people's legs look stumpy, but these shoes have enough of a heel that they still give your calf some shaping. I ordered them in my usual size 7 and they fit fine out of the box, even with my narrow foot. I usually wear them without socks and they don't rub.

Super Comfy w/Support -
I'm in retail and on my feet ALL day long. These have the support close enough to a clog with a sleeker, much more feminine look. A great alternative to jumbo clogs.

Very comfortable flat -
I wasn't sure if this was going to look too dowdy or cute, but it is pretty cute, especially with a casual black dress. It would also look cute with cropped pants. The comfort is incredible from the get-go. I also have very flat feet and need a bit of support, which this appears to have.

Comfortable and cute - but...I ordered the red and within a few weeks the color was rubbing off and it is hard to find matching shoe polish. Also, they really do make your feet stink. I have other Privo shoes and that is not a problem with them.

Attractive and comfortable -
These shoes are both comfortable and stylish. They look great with jeans, capris or a dress, and they look even better than they did in the picture. It didn't take long to break them in. I usually wear either an 8 or 8 1/2, with these shoes the 8 fits me but slips a little on the heel, but heel inserts solved that problem. As usual, Zappos fast free delivery can't be beat!

Privo's aren't for me :(
I just don't get the hype about the Privo’s. I keep trying them, hoping I will find a pair that I like, but they always fit so weird! I think it is time for me to give up on them. Anyway, here is my review on the shoe!
1. They look wide, and they make your foot look wide. Quite a feat to perform on feet as narrow as mine are.
2. The angle of the shoe (where the shoe bends a bit at the ball of the foot - towards the other foot) is a very strange angle. I have had one other pair of shoes angled that way, (the ballet slipper croc) and it just doesn't work for me. It looks weird and it feels uncomfortable too. It is normal for a shoe to have an angle there, but this one is just strange.
3. The toes go up at the end. I don't know who finds this comfortable, but I can tell you, if you stand/walk for hours at a time, that is NOT a good design. Talk about pain.
4. The back seemed to be a bit high up on the ankle, but would not make the shoe unwearable if worn with sheer hose.
5. I disagree that this shoe feels larger than marked, I followed this recommendation and ordered a 9.5 when I normally wear a 10, and the shoe felt just like a standard 9.5. Maybe they run large for Privo’s?
Also, I felt they looked a bit dowdy for the style of shoe they are going for. I am 32 yrs old, and I like the cute shoes, but I need comfort as well

When most companies have lost sight of treating their employees well and fostering individuality along with a fun work atmosphere, it is nice to see Mr. Hsieh doing just that. Kudos! My next online shoe purchase will be from Zappos. |  | ~ Keeley L., July 26 2008
