I really like this shoe overall. It is cute and lightweight for summer time walking. However, I had a lot of trouble breaking them in. I have sensitive skin over my Achilles tendons, and these shoes rubbed them enough to make them bleed! I bought them to wear without socks, so I didn’t want to give up. Eventually they wore in enough and were comfortable after a few weeks of off and on wear, but I was disappointed in the painful wear-in time.

Privo Kosmo Look good, run large -
The style is great, but they do run on the large side, particularly wide. I will wear heavy socks because I like the style so much. Also, not much arch support, but room to wear arch inserts.

Comfy kosmo -
I ordered the Kosmo shoes after another pair was no longer in stock. I like them. They are comfortable. I do not like the low front. I did not think they would be so low down on my toes. The comfort has over ridden any negative thoughts. I wear them sometimes for 10 or more hours. They keep my feet from hurting. I have RA, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia. These shoes keep me from aching all over. I would recommend them to everyone, but I would make sure they know they fit very low on the toes.

Privo's Kosmo -
I own quite a few Privo shoes. This one is cute with jeans and it is versatile with either blue or brown socks. One complaint is that this shoe does not give any arch support. Also, if you have a wider than normal foot, the strap may give you problems.

I like them. Look good with jeans. They're comfortable and fit pretty well, just a little tight across the top of the toes. I think they will stretch out with wear. This is my second pair of Privo's; they're great!

Cute and comfortable -
really cute shoe, it's winter so it's a bit early to wear it but will be perfect with jeans once drier weather is here, love the blue and brown combination, and it feels really comfortable (although maybe a bit on the large size compared to other Clark shoes I've bought - usually a 7 fits me fine).

I think I probably need a half size larger, but shoe is not available in that size. They are otherwise extremely comfortable and have a cool look. Also, I would like the larger sizes available in the other colors.

Very Attractive in a "cute" way -
These are my third pair of Privo’s. I'm very happy with them, but the fit is different than my first two. And I can't wear my orthodics with them. They seem "shallow".

These shoes are cute and comfortable, but definitely needed so breaking in...They gave my heels terrible blisters in the process.

Nice shoe -
Very nice shoe...dressier kind of sneakers. Very comfortable. Just a little bit of rubbing on my pinky toe, but otherwise I like the shoe. I would recommend this shoe.

Shoe is so cute! Perfect balance of casual walking, look, and more formal with slacks. I could look "put together" for an informal meeting, then take a walk with a friend. I so wanted them to feel comfortable. Unfortunately they didn’t. They slip on the heel. Instant blisters. They are tight in the big toe as well. But mostly it's the slipping heel that's the problem. I talked to a shoe store clerk about it (who carried Privo brand) and she said that without the strap these shoes are "made" to slip off the heels. Truly. Ouch!

Runs wide in the heel -
I normally wear an 8, and the 7.5 still was so big in the heel that I walked out of it, despite it being tight in the toe. A really cute shoe and so comfy, but won't fit a narrow heel.

Watch your heels...
Although these shoes are super cute and a wonderful combination of sneaker and Mary Jane, I can also agree that the heels seem to rub. I bought my normal size the first time, and they ended up way too big. Because the foot bed felt like it fit just fine, the heels were enormous. I returned them for a 1/2 size smaller and initially thought they were a better fit. Within a half hour of wearing them, they too began to rub my heels. Unfortunately, heel inserts, gel heel stickers and "no-slip" footies could not solve the problem, and I'm now wearing a nice pair of blisters. So far, I'm planning on keeping them though, because I can't seem to give up the hope that they'll break-in. They're just simply too cute to give up on, and I'm envious of those reviewers who are experiencing a good fit!

I'm surprised at the high ratings on this shoe when lots of people seem to agree that the heels slip and the shoes cause blisters. To me they feel small, take forever to break in, and are very uncomfortable. These are my fifth pair of Privo shoes and I purchased my usual size, but these were just a misfire. Unfortunately, I've worn them too much (in an effort to break them in) to return them.
