How About 11? They sound so good. Personally, this is another case of finding a potentially great shoe that is one size away from purchase. I wear an 11 and sizing in all colors stopped at 10.

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable, and definitely one of my favorite pair of flats. I ordered a 1/2 size larger and have no problems at all wearing these all day long. I'm on my feet, walking the sales floor up to 80% of my day. These are so cute and comfy. I always get compliments on them (have the black patent). If only if could find sling backs like these with more heel height. I'm bummed that the retail price has increased significantly since I first ordered these several months ago. I will remain hopeful that this will change soon.

Privo Poplar - Titanium Leather - I had been looking for a pair of gray shoes as an alternate to black and loved the look of the Privo Poplar. The color was perfect and I liked the detail on the side of the strap. When I realized that Privo is by Clarks, I was sold. I normally wear a size 9, but based on the reviews planned to order a 9 1/2. The 9 1/2 wasn't available, so I ordered a 10. It is a good thing that I did anything smaller and I wouldn't have been able to wear it at all! I really wanted to like these shoes, but it was not meant to be. The color was great, but the toe box was snug and the strap kept slipping on my heels. The worst thing was that there was absolutely NO arch support - a real disappointment coming from Clarks. I had to return these. The search for a gray shoe continues!

The combination of the round and slightly upturned toe is just too much for my feet. The shoes also seem to turn inward just a bit giving me an almost pigeon-toed effect. As my feet already tend to turn in this only serves to exaggerate it. They are very comfortable right out of the box. I am usually an 8 or 8.5 in Privo and the 8.5 fit fine. The titanium color is very pretty. I think these might be more attractive on a more petite woman. They make my feet look as if they are too small for my tall body. I have several other Privo products and am always pleased but these are going back - just a style issue.

I ordered these in Titanium and would have kept them, but these run 1/2 size smaller than marked. I normally wear an 8 1/2 in Privo, but would have needed a 9 in these. They looked great and would definitely would have been one of my favorites if my size would have been available.

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.

Very comfortable and very light sandals. I wanted a black thong sandal with low heels and I'm so glad I got these! This sandal is so light it actually feels like I'm not wearing any sandals at all! True to size and no breaking in period. My first Columbia and I’m totally impressed.

Couldn't use the shoes - Toe box too short. No flexibility. Smaller than stated size. Had to give them away, since they had been worn.

Really cute & comfortable, but run really small - Order a half to a full size up. Super cute and comfortable if you order a larger size. I also have in green.

Great shoe! I love this shoe -- very comfortable and very attractive; great quality! I purchased the metallic titanium color, and I've had several compliments on these. The inside of the shoe has some small raised bumps, making a (very slight) massaging action as you walk. Very nice for those mall excursions as Christmas approaches! I'm wear a true 7.5, and there's plenty of room in the toe area, so your toes don't feel squished at all - but it's not too much room. As always... Zappos RULES with super-fast shipping!

This bag is the best I've ever owned. It is just the right size, the pockets inside let you organize and the small outside pocket is perfect. The details make this the coolest looking bag ever. I love it!

I had a pair of very similar Privo shoes last year (only difference was an ankle strap and leather, not patent leather), and could not find them locally. Zappos did a great job with shipping and ordering, even when the same size shoe and style previously owned did not fit; the reorder experience was as pleasant as it could have been.

Size up! These are strange enough to look cutting edge! They are also comfortable. I usually wear a 7 and read the advice to go up, but the 7.5 was not big enough. The 8 is right. Size up!

I bought the bone leather shoes to wear at my wedding as a reprieve from my formal heels. I have a large, wide foot (size 11W) and so I ordered the 12, and I’m glad I did. They are a bit snug, but having worn them for about an hour they seem to be breaking in well. The elastic heel strap does leave a bit of an indent on my foot but stays in place. It’s a great mix between a dress shoe and a tennis shoe.

This shoe is cute and feels real stable. Won't slip and slide due to non skid bottom and elastic around strap. I have a very narrow foot and this shoe fits me well. I bought a second pair in another color.

Love It! This shoe is very cute and super comfy. I will be sending it back, however, for a half size larger. I can usually get by with an 8 1/2, but I will need a 9 for this shoe since I do not anticipate it will stretch since I ordered that patent.

This shoe felt broken in and very comfortable on the first wear. The strap in the back fell below the ankle level so there was no worry of blistering. They are very cute with capris or jeans for casual wear. I bought them in black patent and wished they came in a bronze or brown! I would recommend these to anyone!

WONDERFUL - These are the cutest and most comfortable shoes I own; they give that dressed up feeling to casual skirts. As someone who is only 5'2" and who hates wearing heels, these shoes still elongate my legs.
