Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Sofrito

These are the MUST HAVE shoes!! I purchased a pair of Privo's this past spring before a trip to Paris and wore those for 3 straight days of major walking. My experience was so good that I ordered this style in brown. I like these even better! The slip on style is great and they are super comfortable and I think stylish at the same time. I wear them everywhere I can.

Cute, Cute, Cute! I bought these shoes and love how snugly they fit! I usually wear a 7 1/2, but the size 7 fits like a glove. I have very narrow feet and a high arch, although these don't have much arch support they're still very comfy. There's like a little gel padding on the heel that's very spongy. Too cute with jeans and I agree with the other review that the pics on here don't do the show justice! I'm a 39 y/o Mom and even my kids think this shoe is "way cool". I was even surprised to find that the light gray cording accent is reflective at night - a nice touch!

Look and feel great - I love these shoes - I usually get a size 7, but had to get a 7.5 for these shoes because the 7 felt too narrow (my feet are flat and wide). I put a flat insole under the shoes' given insert to make them snugger. They feel very cushiony now. More than anything, they look very cool, especially with jeans. I don't think the picture on Zappos does them any justice!

So comfy - I bought these shoes before spending two weeks in Europe because I needed a pair of cute "sneakers". These shoes are really comfortable and fit well. I run around in them all weekend and to and from work. Nice break from wearing heels. Better fit than most non-sneaker flats.

Cute, but not for wide feet. Unfortunately, these shoes are not for people with wide feet or high insteps. Couldn't even get them on. Cute style, though.

Wide toe box is great if you have bunions like I do. Cushiony footbed lets you walk in these shoes all day. My foot is on the wide side, so these are a great fit for me. Though the left shoe does give my little toe some discomfort, I solve that by wrapping my toe in Dr. Scholl's padded moleskin. I can wear these shoes with pants in the office and look comfortably stylish. I would buy this brand again.

Love these and they fit nicely. The only problem is that the heel cup sits a tad high and rubs slightly - that is my only complaint. They are very light, fit nicely, look good, and are comfy… other than the heel cup.

Great shoes, but they squeak - I love the shoes. They look good, they're light, and they're comfortable - I can walk for miles with no problem. Plus, I love that there are no laces to come untied, but about two weeks after getting the shoes, I starting noticing that they squeaked. LOUDLY! Even when they're completely dry, they continue to squeeeak! People turn around when I walk down the street, the squeaking is so loud. (They're such great shoes that I still wear them though.)

Good city shoe - These shoes are cute; they slip on and look modern but still classic somehow. As other reviewers mentioned the heel kind of digs in, which isn't great; I'm hoping that subsides soon since I've only worn them a handful of times.

Comfy, but not especially stylish - Do a lot of traveling and walking so looking for a shoe that I could slip out of easily at the airport, but were good for walking on cobblestones. These are lighter weight than traditional walking shoes, but think they will hold up well. Thinking of buying another pair.

Exactly what I wanted - I'd been on a shoe quest for some time to find some cute slip on semi-athletic, but cute and appropriate enough for my mostly casual office and I finally found them. They are supremely comfortable! A few others have complained about the back of the heel, which yes is a bit high, but it hasn't bothered me much after the first few days once everything softened up. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had.

I have 2 other Privo shoes that are similar but this style dug into my heel and caused a blister even though it is the same size and width.

Stylish and comfortable - I like these shoes, but had to order them a half size smaller than what I normally wear. My only complaint is that the shoe rises fairly high a the back of the heel and until I break it in, it may give me a blister. I have added some heel guards to mitigate this. I wanted these to walk around London and Paris in comfort and to also have something to run around the city in. I think these will work well if the heel situation works itself out!

Nice casual comfort - I got the choc brown a few weeks ago. I like them, but I don't love them. They look great with jeans and longer wide legged pants, but if you sit down and your pants slide up your leg they look kind of silly...(but that is just me). I have worn them on three flights, (super easy for going through security in the airport) and lived in them for two trips to Arizona and one to New Hampshire. With the great stretchy material across the arch of the foot you can wear socks of all different weights which is nice. I have super narrow feet and cannot wear them with-out socks though. Also, I am normally a size 8 but had to get the 7 1/2. If the black come back as available I would love to get them to have as good casual basic black shoe. All in all these shoes are the perfect travel shoe or casual Friday shoe. They are great for running through the airport dragging your roller bag, slipping on and off through security and kicking off on the plane. Also great for Saturday run-around errands, splashy through "small" puddles on your way in from a parking lot.

Blisters!!! While these shoes are cute and comfortable, I got a terrible blister on one of my heels. They are great...as long as I wear mule skin to protect my heel. Too bad, otherwise, wouldn't have given this shoe all 5 stars. I'd recommend trying on in a store before buying.

I loved the look of this shoe online and read lots of great reviews, so I went ahead and ordered it. I guess I had my expectations high and was pretty disappointed when I wore them out for the first time and experienced a blister on my right heel. They are the right size, but I find there isn't much "cushion" at the back of the shoe. I've worn them a few more times and they seem to be getting better. I do love the way they look though!

Very comfortable and goes with everything - My sister has three pair of Privos and I really like the look of casual, but not tennis shoes. The Sofritos are very cushy and comfortable, but other Privos aren't. They do have a tight fit, so might not be good for those with wide feet.

Warning! Wide sizes are also longer - These are great shoes. Comfy, well made, and stylish. I have several pairs in the regular width, but my foot is wide, so I thought I'd try the wide size. I have now tried 3 pairs of "wide" and they are all one full size longer than they are marked as well as being wider. If you order the shoe in wide, definitely order 1/2 or 1 full shoe size smaller than you usually wear. If you wear orthotics, the wide size will definitely accommodate the extra volume.

Privo Pleases - I use the Privo shoes... have 6 pairs in a variety of styles for exercise, for travel, for golf... and get comments on them wherever I go. They are comfortable, provide great traction and support, and look good. Some styles tend to be quite wide and sometimes I have to get a smaller size than normal because of that, so you do have to be willing to experiment with size. This particular shoe was true to size for me and fit perfectly.

Too Long and Narrow - They look fantastic, but the fit is weird. They're too long AND too narrow even though I ordered a wide.

Cute in brown - I've enjoyed this shoe right out of the box. My only comment/complaint would be that it feels a bit thin on the top and particularly the heel and might be a better shoe for warmer weather. My heel tends to walk out of the shoe. Having said that, the sole is very well cushioned and I've used these when walking the dog as well as out and about. Like the casual look, a bump less casual than sneakers.

Stylish and practical! A great, comfortable shoe that gets even more comfortable after you break it in.

Great weekend shoe - I ordered this because Cade was out of stock, and I'm glad I did. They are very comfortable, though the high cut of the heel rubs my ankle if I don't wear socks. Just the thing to wear when real running shoes are just a bit too informal.

I need these in a wide as the regular width rubs the tops of the feet, but in my normal 8W size, it seems big - even with Superfeet orthotics… plus it totally rubs the heel because of a STUPID extra piece of material meant solely to rub the Achilles tendon. The toe of the shoe sticks up like an elf shoe or something and it made my feet look very long and big. Weird.
