I hate these shoes! I have tried suffering through the blisters, but they never break in. I wish I had returned them because it makes me mad that I spent this much on shoes that I cant even wear! They are so cute and I keep trying to make them work, but I end up limping by the end of the day with bleeding blisters!

Comfortable shoes -
I just love my Privo shoes, but are very disappointed that I can no longer get them in a size 12. I bought a pair of "chocolate silky buck" privos in Des Moines at the Jordan Creek mall last fall. Why do you only make one style in size 12 at this time? I would love more colors of the style I currently have and possibly others. Also how do I get some of the polish that is specifically for the ones I have? They are my favorite shoes and I wear them all the time. I have has many compliments on them as well.

Privo Maltese -
I bought these in black and love the look, but after many wearings, the back of the shoe still rubs one of my heels quite a bit. These are not as comfortable as the Privo Floats, which were super comfortable from the get go. I am hoping these will continue to break in. I am a size 10.5 and definitely recommend going UP half a size - I bought an 11 and would not want to go any smaller.

Vacation shoe!
I was looking for a shoe that would be comfortable while flying. This is a VERY comfortable shoe. It's light, not binding, and easy to walk in without feet getting sore or tired!

Privo Maltese -
I thought this was the cutest leather flat, and was looking to replace my much loved worn out white Minnetonka moccasins. I have a wider foot and found the B width most accommodating, since the leather is so soft and the elastic bands make it extra comfy. The length of the shoe seemed a half-size smaller and there was a little tightness on the top of my heel when first wearing. Other than that, this shoe is a winner!

Love it! While they didn't catch my eye initially on the shelf (because they curl when off), the minute I put them on I loved them. These shoes are comfortable and flexible. I got a small blister on my heel the first time I wore them, but they broke in super fast and I haven't had any problems since. I work on my feet ALL day and walk anywhere between 6 and 8 miles on the job, and these shoes are fantastic. For those of you with high arches, like myself, you may want to add additional support.

This is not a real good walking shoe, but I like to wear it at home or out for dinner or lunch. Wearing it all day is OK but later the ball of my foot hurts. I have 3 other pair of Privo shoes that I could walk a hundred miles in. But these are more like bedroom slippers. I like the way they look and I love the color.

This shoe is so cute and lightweight, but is less comfortable than I'd like because I have bunions and the instep is right over the bunion and rubs my foot. I was a little disappointed at the arch support. There isn't room for an insert although I have added an arch support and that is helpful. I wear them, but not for long periods of time. I'm hoping they'll adjust. I've looked at other Privos with more foot coverage and may try them.
Cute flat - I love the look of this shoe. It can go casual to business casual and with skirts, shorts, and pants. The shoe is a looser fit than a normal ballet flat for someone with a narrow foot, but that can be good and bad. It's comfortable that way, but it also allows your foot to shift around in the shoe. I have worn it a few times for longer periods, and I get crazy blisters on the back of my heels every time – the back rubs a lot. I think once I get a heel grip, it may work better. Recommended, but since the shoe is a looser fit I would also recommend putting something between the heel and the foot or else you will have blisters.

Blisters after walking all day - I wore my Privos recently on a trip to NYC. After walking the city for two days, I had some major blisters on my heels. Granted, I should have worn the shoes in a little more before my trip. However, I was disappointed that I ended up with blisters.

Great casual shoes -
These are great casual shoes- definitely order 1/2 size smaller than usual. While they don't offer much support, they are cute and comfortable!

Great shoe for work and play! These shoes are so comfy. The elastic around the shoe opening makes for a sure fit and the textured footbed massages your feet as you walk.

Very cute shoe -
This is my first pair from Privo. I don't always like the look of many of their shoes, but I thought this was adorable and decided to give them a try. I'm glad that I did! Some ballet type flats don't look well on me for some reason, but these are very different. They are kind of like a sneaker/shoe and are quite comfy. Many reviews say they run big, but not me. I'm glad I ordered my regular size because there is no way I could wear anything smaller. I think what I like best is that they are easy to get on and off like a clog and yet they are so casual to wear with anything you'd wear sneakers with.

Love Privos -
This is probably my fifth pair of Privos and I really like them, the Maltese are not quite as cushiony as I would have liked, but they suit their purpose, easy and fun!

A bit big...
I returned these because they were kind of baggy on my feet...I think they were okay length-wise, but seemed to not quite look right (I ordered an 11 and can wear between a 10 and 11 depending on the style...). Also, they did not appear supportive enough for a full day of walking (which is what I wanted them for!). The insole is very comfy on your foot though. If I wanted a shoe for just casual wear and minimal walking, I'd try this in a smaller size.

Cute!
After several attempts to get the correct size, these Privo's worked out great. However, they still rub a bit on my heel. I'm sure after a few more wearings they will be fine. Privo must have a different sizing scale than other shoe manufactures as they seem to run large.

I bought these because I broke my foot and needed some transition shoes between the stupid post-op boot and regular shoes. I bought them a size larger than I usually wear and they worked out perfectly. Very flexible :-)

Love this shoe!
I was looking for a comfortable, light closed toe shoe for walking around Europe in the summer. I ordered a few different styles of Privos and found this one to be the most comfortable and not so bulky looking one, as I wear a true 10.5 (the size 10 is always too tight and the size 11 is too big!). Plus, this style comes in 10.5 which most others do not.

This is a really cute shoe. It is very comfortable except that the elastic on the heel can rub a bit. Overall looks and feels great. I have gotten compliments on these.
