Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Tequini

Good looking and comfortable - This is a great looking shoe, stylish and comfortable. The little nubbies on the insole (you can see them on the overhead picture) take some getting used to and sometimes bother me after wearing the shoes all day with thin socks. However, overall the shoe is well padded and comfortable to wear for a day of walking. I did have to get them a half size smaller.

Cute and comfortable - I like this shoe, and it draws compliments. My only complaint is that it is only barely adjustable and the fit is quite loose on my foot.

Cute shoe - I love the look of this shoe, very cute yet practical. I agree with others though that it runs a half size bigger than marked, and that the heel area seems a bit wide. But I have long, narrow feet so I just put a little heel insert in to keep them from slipping rather than going a size smaller which would squish my toes. Perfect!

Comfort & style! This is a very comfortable shoe, almost like not wearing anything on your feet. I love the easy slip on style and sporty look. I did have to order a half size smaller though for a better fit.

Very comfortable & stylish - I have a slightly wide foot but can normally wear medium width shoes, and these were especially comfortable, so I think they are slightly wider than a normal medium width. They also felt slightly bigger than other 7.5 shoes. They are very comfortable, though, but I do have the wear thicker socks with them to get them to stay on comfortably. Very stylish & cute, though.

Privo Tequini - This is the first shoe of this type I have ever owned as I usually prefer leather shoes or boots (not so casual). I bought this to wear with jeans around the yard or in the garden. The nubs in the insole are very comfortable...like mini acupressure. It is easy to slip on and off and is very comfortable. I normally take a 7 or 7 1/2 in a shoe and in this style the 7 was even slightly long. It is also a bit wide and I need to wear socks to take up the slack. There is a velcro tab on the side, but it doesn't seem to tighten up any further. If all Privo shoes feel this comfortable, I will probably buy more.

Cute, but strange fit - I love this shoe, but the fit is so strange - it is too narrow in the toe-box and too wide in the heel. I even had a friend, who wears the same size, try them and she agreed. I'm going to try a 1/2 size down and am really hoping they work.

Tequini Stylish and Comfy - The Tequini shoe works with so many outfits - from workout clothes to jeans to capris. Very cute look. Great for walking around and keeping your feet comfy. I wish that they had better arch support, though. The material underfoot is a bit thin.

Great shoe - This shoe is very comfortable; however, it definitely fits looser than the other styles of Privo’s I have tried on. I ordered a size 7 1/2, returned it for a size 7. Much improved, but it's possible that a 6 1/2 would fit even better. There is plenty of space at the toe box and the material across the top of the shoe near my ankle hardly touches my foot. It's a very well made shoe, and it quite forgiving. Adorable too.

Great w/Jeans - These look great with blue jeans. I actually had to break them in - which I don't usually have to do. I exchanged the first pair that was really big for a 1/2 size smaller. The smaller ones were pretty tight but I wanted to keep them so I stuck it out. They feel much better after being worn several times.

Great shoes! I love these shoes! They are incredibly comfortable with bare feet, so they'll be great for summer. I do wish I could wear them with thin trouser socks for the cooler times of year, but the rubberized insole makes putting the shoe on difficult with socks, at least for me. The sole has excellent traction. They look great with jeans!

Comfy & Cute Casual Shoes - These shoes are great - very comfy - like a cross between a gym shoe and a loafer. They are extremely comfortable. Bought them in month 7 of my pregnancy with the hope they would be easy to get on and off and feel good while on - and they are all of the above.

Love the comfort and high quality. Love the color combo. Actually didn't keep them because I was frightened off by the metallic leather. A little too flashy for me otherwise great shoe.

Great for a narrow heel - I have a "long" arch, so it is very difficult for me to find shoes that fit at a 3-star level, forget 4 or 5. These shoes fit my feet like a glove - I can wear them all day and my feet are still happy dogs. Get lots a compliments on them, too!

Good Buy - I like the Privo's a lot. They don't have a great deal of cushion on the bottom but they are comfortable and have great traction. I would buy another pair.

Size not true - Hard to tell if they are comfortable because they don’t fit true to size/love the look, larger than they are marked but they are beautiful.

Not as comfortable as I had hoped - This shoe looks nice and trendy but not as comfortable as I had hoped. Based on reviews, I wore this shoe at Disneyland. My right foot hurt after a few hours - luckily I had brought my running shoes just in case. It's good for around town but I would not count on it for real walking around.

I really like this shoe it, it has great padding in the sole. The heel is really wide though. I have tried a pad to fill in but I am still working on a fix. I walk on cement all day and these feel great.

A pretty good shoe - I first ordered the Privo in an 8 1/2 (normal size) but had to send it back for a nine. The nine is a little loose but OK with heavier sox. We recently had a lot of snow and ice in the Northwest corner of the country and the traction was not good. I think it is a fine shoe for good weather but won't keep your feet warm in the very cold stuff.

Cushiony! Due to a knee injury, I must have a shoe that cushions every step. Privo's Tequini feels like I'm walking on air. My foot is narrow, but I just tied a knot in the elastic across the instep. That made the fit a little bit tighter. The bronze color is kind of unique, too.

Great shoe! This shoe is very comfortable whether walking or standing for long periods. For me, the heel was too wide. I almost returned it but decided to put in a light weight insert so it fits better and my heel does not come out. I wish Clark could make these shoes in narrows. I bought a pair of Naturalizers slip ons in a narrow and they are a perfect fit.

Comfy casual shoe - A very comfortable shoe that fit perfectly in my usual size. I ordered the chocolate nubuck/brass color and was surprised that the toe and heal were metallic (though "brass" should have tipped me off).

I purchased the brown/tan pair, and I have received a lot of compliments on them. They are very comfortable right out of the box. My legs were a little sore after walking around in them all day, but they are more comfortable than other shoes I have tried in similar sporty/casual styles. I would definitely recommend this shoe to others.

Comfy Shoe - I have a higher than average arch and this fit even though I was concerned that the elastic closure would be too tight. It's still tight enough that I won't be able to wear them with thick socks, just nylons or trouser socks. I bought the darker brown. Even though there is plenty of room for my wider toe area, this shoe will keep your feet looking slim. I wanted something more up to date than white tennis shoes and this is it! Also, great to slip off at the Security check out at the airports.

Want Comfort? It is this shoe! I have worn the "open" Privo for over a year and love them!!! Wore them all over London and Scotland on vacation. They were very, very comfortable so I decided to try a closed toe Privo for winter. They too are very, very comfortable. No breaking in needed for me. The only negative I could say is the rubber bumpy bottom insole…kinda weird for a high end shoe. My feet tend to sweat in these shoes and I have to spray deodorant on my feet at times when I wear the Privos.
