Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Tequini

I recently have had foot surgery and the up curved toe has been great for me--doesn't cause some of the tingly numb sensations of post-surgical toes! The perforated upper keeps my feet from sweating when I wear them barefoot. It's not a heavy duty city-walking shoe, but great for "running around" in.

Lifesaver in NYC! I needed a comfortable, yet stylish, shoe for LOTS of walking and this one did the trick! No sore feet or blisters! They did feel a little big in the ankle, if wearing w/o socks. But with socks, they were great! Also, I went down a half size. I think they run a little big. Overall, I love this shoe!

Privo Tequini - I bought the Privo Tequini in white leather. I've only worn it once so far. It's very comfortable and roomy. My feet are wider at the toes and there's plenty of room. I walked and stood in them all day and they felt very good. They didn't need any breaking in at all. I wouldn't say I love these shoes, but I do like them very much.

A cool gym shoe - I picked this shoe to wear between Pilates and yoga and to run the elliptical. I love it. It's lightweight, doesn't require a sock, easy on and off. Perfect for what my needs were. I would order it again. Thanks Zappos.

Tequini - I wanted a sporty shoe to wear instead of lace-up sneakers so I bought Tequini, and they are a great choice. I've received many compliments on them, plus they are comfortable. I do usually have a problem with a bunion on my right foot, and it hurt the first time I wore them. After that they felt fine with or without socks.

Sneaker comfort with a better look - Good looking casual shoe. It's a little wide for my narrow feet, but I kept it anticipating it to be a great fall shoe with a thick sock. Can't beat a slip-on when you're out clothes shopping!

Great comfort, but my shoe squeaks now... I Love these shoes... however after wearing them for a very "Short" time, my left shoe now squeaks when I walk in them, and it's driving me crazy... has anyone had this problem?

Great Commuter Shoe - If you commute to work, this is a great shoe to wear from the train/bus to your office. It's comfy and kind of sporty looking. It only has moderate arch support, so if you'll be doing some serious walking, this probably isn't the best shoe. Maybe wearing socks would help, though. Unless you live in a warmer climate, this shoe probably wouldn't be appropriate for year-round use because of the perforated upper---but it's great for spring, summer and early fall. I originally bought this in a 7 and had to return it because it was too roomy. I re-purchased it in a 6 1/2 and it was perfect. If you have narrow feet like I do, buy a half size smaller.

Great little shoe - Love the look and the lightness of this shoe. A little tight on my big left foot on the heel but is breaking in nicely. Very sturdy and looks great too! Usually am a size 9 but ordered 8.5 - 9 was too big in the length.

Privo, Clark's Tequini - Socks are hard to find for this shoe. I wanted some that don't show but haven't had luck yet.

A very cute shoe. However, it is just a little too wide. And although it looks like you could adjust it to make it snugger, you really can't.

Tequini - I bought the shoe for comfort. It is comfortable to walk in but in my opinion not very attractive.

Great casual shoe! I absolutely love the styling of this shoe. The way the shoe is cut makes it feel less secure in the heel area. It is a great shoe for when you want comfort but don't want to wear white athletic shoes.

Terrific! I love this shoe: it looks good, it feels good, and it glows in the dark (well, sort of). The only problem is that the sole is a little slick on wet surfaces. All those cute little bumps don't make for a lot of traction, so be careful.

Good spring shoe - I love the look of this shoe. The shoe runs about 1/2 size large, (i.e., my normal size is 7.5, I wear a 7.0 in these) Comfortable, but no real support. A little wide on the top upper portion of the shoe, however, the soul fits well.

Cute & Roomy - I just got these shoes in white and I love the look - sporty but not shlumpy. I love the width in the toe box for room to wiggle my toes - but the heel is a bit wide and I am getting some slippage. Run a little big - wear an 8 and bought the 7.5.

Looks great but not great for a high arch - I have a high arch and a fairly wide foot. This shoe was difficult to get on and not comfortable on one of my feet once it was on. It looks great and I kept another pair of Privos.

This shoe I got in gray. Perfect for bartending and looking stylish. I did receive many compliments on the style of this shoe. However, it made my feet stink, as soon as I took out the insert and replaced it with an orthotic, the smell went away. About a month of wear, the left shoe started falling apart at the seams. It also developed a bubble in the left sole and made a popping noise when I walked. Now it has two. I won’t buy Privo brand again.

Needed a 10.5! My feet are somewhere between a 10.5-11 and just slightly wide. I ordered these in Size 11. They looked great out of the box, but on my feet they were too long and sloppy. The width was good, but my arches are not high; therefore, the top of the shoe hovered about 3/4 of an inch above the top of my foot near the opening. I suspect that a size 10 will be too tight and unfortunately they don't come in 10.5 or in varying widths. On my screen the Smokey Brown color appeared to be a dark tan/honey color; in reality it's truly "Smokey", a nice medium brown. Also, the stitching around the opening is very easy to snag, so I had to be very careful taking those sharp-edged plastic inserts out when I unpacked them.

Disappointing for a Clark's - I have hard to fit feet. I first bought this in my usual Clark's size (11) and it was huge. Because most shoe manufacturers don't make 10.5 I had to buy a 10, which is too tight. I'm sad because I love the look of it.

I must have strange feet - most uncomfortable shoe ever! I LOVE the look of this shoe. Unfortunately, I found them to be extremely painful to wear. I felt like my foot had been bound or something. Maybe I should have gone a 1/2 size up, but that doesn't really make sense since they are supposed to run big if not true to size. All I know is that they hurt terribly. I would have tolerated a small amount of discomfort for the look, but it was way too much. I have a high arch, and I think they may have just been too flat in their design for me. I seemed to have enough toe room, yet the felt like they were two sizes too small. I've never had an experience like this with shoes before, but now I wonder if I have weird feet since everyone else loves these. I sure wish they worked for me!

Cute - Cute but absolutely no arch support. Bumpy insole is comfy, but top closure is also a bit loose, don't feel like these would ultimately provide enough support for a shoe to do any walking around town in.

Pink Delights disappoint - Love the look and the pink color but my feet ached after a very short time in these shoes. No arch support to speak of and the shoe was too flexible for my feet to be supported all over. I usually like Clarks shoes but not this time.

Privo by Clarks Tequini - I love the look of this shoe with jeans, and maybe with capris if one had the right socks. I found the shoes fit less well than my other Privo shoes; they are a bit loose in the middle, so my socks slip down and bunch up under the arch! I wear smart wool socks, and I also wore a cheap sock another day, same problem! So, for short jaunts, they look great, but I wouldn't walk around the Mall of America in them (as opposed to my other Sangria Privo’s).They are so cute though.

Sole comfort - The shoe is nice looking, they fit true to size, and the insole is extremely comfortable.
