Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Sofrito

Great for walking - These shoes are extremely comfortable. As others have indicated, they seem to run a half size larger than marked. Also, they did slip on the heel the first few times they were worn; however, since then they have been great.

Lightweight & Packable - As a Flight Attendant I am constantly on the go. I can’t always pack my heavy running shoes. The Privos are great for stationary cycling and Stairmasters. They are perfect to throw on with jeans or shorts to go to dinner or shopping afterwards. Love my fourth pair of Privos!

These are THE MOST COMFY shoes! I cannot rave enough about how comfortable these shoes are. The insoles have little nubs that kind of massage your feet when you walk, and the fit is just perfect, all the way around. There is no "breaking in" with these. I bought them for walking in NYC and traveling (they slip on and off really easily at the airport) and they have been absolutely dreamy for both. Plus, they're cute enough to wear running errands and on the weekends at home!

Yes! Excellent service and I love the shoes. Bought two pair -- one for me and one for my sister.

Great, comfortable shoe - They are so light weight and comfortable, have a pair in every color.

So good, I'm buying more! I absolutely love this shoe! I am going on my 3rd pair now. I really found the denim ones to look great with jeans! I am a nurse, and have been wearing them with my scrubs as well. PERFECT! I did get a blister the first time I wore them but hadn't worn a sock. A bandaid and socks the next time around fixed that problem. Now I can wear them without any discomfort even without socks. I can usually wear a 7.5 in this type of shoe, but had to return them for a 1/2 size smaller. With the exceptional customer service of Zappos, this is never a problem. Thanks Zappos!!!!!

So comfy! I love these shoes! Great for walking in the city all day. Yay!

Great - I really like these shoes. I wanted something to wear with jeans that were not sneakers. These were the perfect ones. They are really comfortable; I have worn all day for several days and no discomfort at all. I have recommended them to everyone.

No sacrifice of fashion for comfort. I work in the medical/dental field and am always on the hunt for a comfortable shoe. I finally found this one after a patient had told me about it. I have not stopped receiving compliments since. I didn't have to sacrifice fashion for comfort!

Comfy and cute - This is a replacement pair. I wore the first pair out because I wore them so much.

Excellent - Love this shoe. It is incredibly comfortable. Fits true to size and has a generous toe box. I will buy them again.

Comfortable shoes - I love my Sofrito’s. They are so comfortable. I've got two pairs that's how much I like them. I get compliments every time I wear them.

Privo - I just purchased my 5th pair of Privos -- the "Sofrito" in white. Obviously, I'm a big fan of this brand -- they're stylish and comfortable -- a great alternative to a standard tennis shoe. I've recommended them to all my friends and have bought my sister and mom a pair.

The Perfect Shoe! I bought the Chocolate pair last summer and loved them so much that I purchased the Black Nubuck pair from Zappos a couple of months later. Just this week I bought the white leather pair to complete my set. I love this shoe so much that I recommended Privo's to my husband who also was looking for a comfortable walking shoe. He bought the Privo Durango. Both the women's and the men's Privo’s are very versatile and comfortable. I wear them to run errands, sightsee, and even to my office-job. I would suggest buying a 1/2 size smaller than you normally wear. I initially bought an 8.5 but returned it for an 8 which fits perfectly. My husband's Privo Durango’s are a 10.5... And he usually wears a 10.5-11. All in all, a fantastic shoe!

Love them - I love them. I ordered them a half size smaller like the other reviews suggested. They fit well, but I needed to wear thinner socks to make the left shoe feel better. I suggest them to others all the time especially to those who need comfort and balance in a shoe.

A great shoe - Love this shoe...am going to order it in every color.

Needed a 10.5! My feet are somewhere between a 10.5-11 and just slightly wide. I ordered these in Size 11. As with the Privo Tequini, 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. (Why do so many shoe companies stop making half sizes past size 10, anyway? We bigfoot mamas would like to have shoes that fit properly!)

Extreme comfort - I was looking for a shoe that was as comfortable as fitness shoe but for "around town" casual wear. The Privo Sofrito fit the bill. I have worn the shoes quite a bit and find them very comfortable. I wear them with a low thin sock that is not visible, as the rubber insole feels sticky on my bare foot. Otherwise I am very happy with everything about the shoe. Size, comfort, and looks.

great shoes - I have BIG feet and hate the way sneakers look on me, but I love these. And everybody that sees them seems to feel the same. I can wear them all day and they still feel great.

I am in love with these!! Let me tell you my story: I went down to New Orleans to visit my friends for Mardi Gras. I was wearing cute shoes that tore my feet up. So I went to the Riverwalk and stumbled upon the Clarks store. That's when I was first introduced to Privo. I bought a blue Tequini similar to these Sofrito's. I haven't taken them off since! So, I bought these in Aloe Nubuck and they are comfortable as well as pleasing to the eyes! I work for an airport so all I do is walk...I will buy some more with my next paycheck!

Love this shoe! Love this shoe. Felt a little snug when first put them on. Heel tops out a little high and rubbed my heel string. Wore them one whole day with socks and this loosened them up just fine. Now I wear them without socks and they feel great. I bought them to wear on a trip to Alaska. Plan to do a lot of walking. Will know for sure in a few days if they are all I hoped for.

Wow! Right out of the box! I just got my Privo Sofrito shoes today in Stone Nubuck and am in love already! The fit is perfect and they are very cute! These are shoes that I will wear over and over.

Great walking shoe! I bought this shoe in the color black, size 12M. Love it! I bought the shoe for a trip to Italy. I am very glad I had such a comfortable shoe for all of the walking we did. For me, the true sign of comfort is forgetting what you have on your feet during the day. Fabulous fit and very comfortable.

Cute and practical - The Sofrito is a great everyday shoe and performed well for long days of sight seeing. It has sufficient support without the bulk and weight of a hiking or walking shoe. It's sporty but looks good with a nice pair of shorts or capris. A little wide on me but fine with a shoe liner or short sox.

My new favorite shoe - This is a great shoe, almost as good as barefoot. All the Privo’s tend to run big so order a half size smaller. The footbed is unusual but I got used to it quickly. Super comfortable and doesn't look clunky. I want it in every color.
