Every time I wear these shoes, I get compliments. I have them in brown satin and would like more colors in this style...I wear them at work and can wear them several hours without discomfort, and I'm on my feet A LOT. I'm an 8 1/2 Medium and these fit best with thin socks. I've been buying a lot of Privos this past year. I'm on an endless quest of shoes that "rock" and don't kill your feet, and this brand does very nicely!

Cool looking but OUCH -
I love the look of these but either they just aren't made for my foot shape or they are mis-sized. I usually wear an 8 1/2 (which I ordered) and they rubbed the skin right off the back of my ankles on both feet. I wore socks (and eventually band-aids) and put inserts in hoping that would help but it did not. A size 9 insert fit in the shoe without trimming which leads me to believe they run big.

Great shoe -
I love my Privos! This is my second pair, and I love several things about this line & this particular model: 1) The fit 'self adjusts', meaning the shoes can be worn with or without socks (tho' I do recommend socks for the initial break-in period....despite what Privo says, there is a break-in period). 2) Athletic shoe comfort without all the bulk and the laces. 3) Modern look.

Comfy Shoes -
This is a very comfortable shoe. The cushy insole is removable; however, since I have a narrow foot, I have room for my orthotics without removing the insole.
Additional Brand Information
We believe comfort frees the spirit. We believe style is a blend of science and art. We believe lightness is its own reward. And we believe slipping on a pair of shoes should do what ours always will - lift you up. Privo is a new kind of casual shoe. Beautifully designed with the comfort of Soleassage inside, Privo lets you step lively. Instead of either or, you get both - the look and the feel you want.
If you’ve ever laughed until it hurt, listened to your heart, passed on the mini-van, slept in, lied about your age, found your groove, read the ending first, gone outside the lines or bought a one way ticket, then Privo is for you.
Youthful in feeling, athletic in inspiration, Privo combines style, comfort and versatility. Special features such as our patented Soleassage™ textured footbed make Privo a joy to wear. The perfect sneaker alternative, Privo pairs well with just about everything.

Great shoe for walking around town -
I got these shoes this last summer and love them. They are great for walking into town and doing some shopping--offer comfort without the chunkiness of a regular tennis shoe.

Super Comfortable -
Joba is comfortable from the first moment, on vacation, walking miles and my feet were not tired. They are made by Clark, Clarks are the everyday work shoes, that I have worn for years. Light weight and they look good with jeans and cords

Buy this shoe!
I'm a teacher, so I'm on my feet most of the day. Having good arch support has helped my plantar fasciitis. I wear my Privos all the time.

Very Comfortable and Good Looking, Too -
I am really happy with the fit, the comfort, and the look. I got the blue which is a nice deep shade and a nice break from black. They do run a half size large though.

Comfortable walking shoe -
These are really comfortable shoes. They run pretty true to size. I have rather wide feet and they were a good fit for me. I only have one spot that rubs me on the heel, but I think that once I wear them more, it will be fine.

Love these -
I really like these shoes, I had a bit of a breaking in time. They rubbed my ankles, but now that I have them broken in, they are great. I really love them with jeans, I got them in pink and found the coolest pink(ish) pattern socks to go with them. I mean when people have said cool shoes. I pull up my jeans and then wow! Cool socks, too!!!

I have bought these shoes in both tan and black and they are excellent walking shoes. They provide the comfort and support of an athletic shoe while looking good with street clothes. Highly recommended. I have plantar fasciitis and they have been excellent for walking long distances.

These shoes are like you are wearing house shoes. Every time I wear them I get compliments on them. Easy to keep clean, I have had this pair for three years. I got mine at a local department store. I could not have gotten luckier than the day I found my Privo shoes.

Uber awesome -
I love this shoe. Very comfortable and looks great...my 20-ish kids even think so. Easy to get on and off, comfy sole, good support, lightweight. I plan on wearing this shoe all around town and all over Rome next week.

Looks great, didn't feel great -
It seemed as if I could feel the hard ground right through the shoe. Very little padding/support. It's a shame, because they're really cute.

Very comfortable -
The shoe is very comfortable, although the arch support is lacking. I use an over the counter orthotic to compensate. I also think it runs a bit long.

I so wanted it to work -
I've been trying to make the Privo's fit my foot for over a year because I love the style. They look perfect for running around in jeans and t-shirts but, unfortunately, they don't make a narrow. Too bad because I'd have many pairs. Congratulations to those of you with medium or larger width feet - these must feel great!

They are just okay -
Maybe I am getting picky...these shoes weren't as comfortable as I thought they would be. I wore them on a trip to Germany and ended up with some pretty sore spots (and they had been worn many times before). The look ended up not being quite what I wanted. But Zappos is awesome! I'll just have to keep looking!
