Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Bingle

I have had good luck with Privo before. I believe this would have been my sixth pair. While I really like the style, it was just too small overall. I have a true-to-size 7½ M foot, but with the thinnest liner socks, I had a struggle putting it on. Once I finally got the shoes on, my toes were touching the front of the toe box. The width seemed accurate, but the length was somehow much too short.

This is a great casual style to slip on every weekend. I ordered the wide after reading reviews about the shoe being narrow, and I am glad I did. It is narrow, and a bit longer than other shoes in my size, but it has "broken in" beautifully. A really cute and comfy shoe!

I really like this shoe, although it is a little tight with socks. Probably my fault; I should have sized up a half a size. I walked all over Paris with them and they were very comfortable. They do seem to stretch after a while, so they go more comfortable with the socks.

Such a cute shoe, but Privo's are usually too narrow for me and hurt my foot.

I would expect a shoe that looks like this to be more comfortable. I could use a slightly thicker sole, and a little more support in the instep area. Also, I\'m between sizes and the 8 was a little big.

I loved this shoe in the Clarks boutique. There were no shoes in my size left in this color at any store in America. I found it at Zappos, and I am so glad I have them now!

I love this casual style of shoe but beware, the width is a bit narrow. I wear a standard "b" width and originally ordered that but it was just too tight. I then ordered the "d" width and it is far more comfortable. Love this shoe and you will too if you are looking for something better than a flip-flop and not a true running type shoe. And because I wear a size 11, these do not make my feet look huge like a running/walking shoe would. Just love them!

I bought these shoes primarily for travel: I always want to have a pair of tennis shoes with me for workouts or walks, but I hate the bulk that regular tennis shoes take up in the suitcase. These are perfect, light and thin, almost collapsible. I did size up 1/2 size and it's a perfect fit. I don't have any problem with the width, but it definitely fits more snugly than Dansko or Keen. They are cutest without socks, but more comfortable with socks. Even the "low-rise" socks look a little funny with these, in my opinion, so I am off to buy some "no-show" socks to go with these.

This shoe almost perfectly satisfied my desire for a streamlined sporty shoe I could wear on casual days at work and when spending time with my family out and about. My only disappointment is that is lacks the support and cushion of a real athletic shoe. It wouldn\'t be the best choice for a day at the zoo or sight-seeing on foot, but if you want to have something cute and comfortable to wear to the next casual event or shopping trip, these are great. Be sure to order at least a half-size up. They still make your feet look a size smaller that your regular sneakers.

I just received these in the mail (thank you Zappos for the free expedited shipping)! I love them, but they're a little short. I wear size 11 and my toe is just touching the end of the shoe. I have another pair of Privos that fit great. These are much more streamlined than my other pair. I ordered the 12 to see if they give me a little more room.

I had to order a full size larger than I usually do, but then they were very comfortable. I plan on taking them on vacation and will be doing a lot of walking.

I like them very much. They are very comfortable and give a nice bit of support for casual shoes. They fit a bit more snugly than other Privos I\'ve purchased in the same size, but they are not tight.

I bought these for a trip to Europe and wore them quite a bit. Overall, they are very lightweight and comfortable. They can be worn for short periods without socks but if you walk too much this way, you will get blisters. I ordered wide (even though I normally wear mediums) because I read other reviews that said the shoes were narrow and I have very high arches. So far the width seems to be working out for me. They do look really cute with capris or shorts and no socks and hold up OK as long as you are not walking too much. If you plan to be adventurous, socks and pants are the way to go. The socks look goofy with shorts or capris!

I took the advice of others and ordered a half size larger. It was a good call. They are not too big with the extra half size. I love these shoes. I have worn them walking around Manhattan, to the mall, etc. Great shoe.

The black shoes run small...I bought the same shoe in stone and got an 8 1/2, my normal size...I ordered the black in 8 1/2 and had to return them for a size 9, which are still a little snug...otherwise they're great shoes...

I love the styling of this shoe and the colors! It did run very narrow. I ordered the wide width and it still took some wearing in before it was wide enough. If you are used to slide-ons from Privo, it will take a little getting used to to pull up the shoe tongue when putting on (and sometimes pulling it up throughout the day).

I loved the look of these shoes, so I read the other reviews. They seemed to run small and had some heel comfort issues. I usually wear 8 1/2 - 9 size, so I ordered size 9. The size was great, but I did have some heel rubbing, which was fixed with a little mole skin. I still love the look and they have been fine for all day wear after the fix.

Based on other reviews, I ordered a half size larger than I usually would, and had trouble with heel slipping and comfort. So I ordered my usual size and the shoes fit fine. That being said, my feet run narrow, and the small toe box on these might not work for a lot of people.

Shoes are comfortable, just a slight bit tight, even though they are wide width. Shoe could be a little bit wider.

This is a really cute shoe, but not all that comfortable. It's scratchy on the inside which makes it uncomfortable to wear barefoot. It also seems to run on the narrow side and took a while to break in. The heel also slips.

I'm so disappointed. This shoe looks great, but the heel is cut too high and rubs the back of my ankle. Such a bummer!

Flashy fun and with the Clarks comfort built in. They are not perfect however and were difficult to break in. So wear them as an alternates until you get past that new new stiffness. For me it took about 2 weeks to get them as my sole athletic shoe.

This is an attractive shoe if you are going for a fun, sporty look, but it was very uncomfortable on me. It ran true to size in length and I didn't notice any issues with the toe box but the shoe was too narrow for me.

They look stylish, I wanted to like them, but the heel has sharp edges, and rubbed enough to produce blisters. There was also very minimal arch support. Privos should be comfortable right out of the box.

I should have returned these shoes, but I was desperate at the time and had to wear them out, so I couldn't return them. This may not be an issue for everyone, but they are too high in the back and rub against the back of my ankle and give me blisters. I have to wear them with pretty thick socks to get away with it and even then, I constantly feel the rub against the back of my ankle. They certainly look cool and I'm probably wear them everyday if I could wear them with short socks without getting blisters. As it is, they are my back-up shoes and I don't wear them often.
