Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Bingle

I love the look of these shoes. Ordered them in wide but they are so narrow it feels like I ordered them in narrow.

This shoe was much smaller than what I normally wear as a size 8. It was so much smaller I'm not sure how to size up. I also tried this style in a narrow, which was ultra-slim and not what I normally classify as narrow. That all said, if you can find the right size, you'll have a stylish shoe.

This is a cute shoe; unfortunately the left shoe was noticeably wider than the right so back they go. The right shoe was perfect and comfortable though. Not sure if there is a problem with this pair as my feet are not that different in size. Great Zappos service as always!

I was looking for a good walking shoe for a trip to Italy. Great color, looks sharp. But fit tighter than expected (and I have a small 5.5 and narrow foot).

The laces are not adjustable so my heel kept slipping out of these-- they just weren't practical for walking. I had to send them back, unfortunate because they were really comfortable.

This a good looking shoe, but it was narrow despite the fact that I purchased it in a wide. I will be returning this shoe.

I really wanted to like these. I still do. These are exactly the style I wanted, I love the way they look. I really like the bungee laces so I can slip them on. However, they are narrow at the toes, and wide at the heel for me. I have very average size 8 feet, in average width, and don't typically have fit issues. These are very tight at the widest part of the front of my foot, and slip on my heel, causing blisters. The length seems correct for the size. There is also no arch support, although that is less of a problem for me. I keep hoping that after wearing them for awhile, they'll break in, but no luck yet (I've worn them 5-6 times for a few hours each). Buyer beware of these. I should have returned mine, but did not.

I really liked the athletic-yet-compact style of this shoe and I love Clarks products, but this one was disappointing. I ordered a pair in my size but in trying them out I ended up with a blister on my right heel, even while wearing thick socks. Hopefully, an isolated incident!

I got these for work and school. I stand a lot on cement floors and walk a lot while working. I was excited about wearing these super soft shoes, but found that the first time I wore them I couldn't wait to get them off. I can't wear socks with these, I don't like going without socks. I thought that maybe they would stretch over time and they have, but not where I would have liked (decorative straps on side by toes). I am really disappointed. I have narrow feet, I should have gotten a wide size (had I known they come in wide).

I wore these around the office for a day before I decided to keep them, and I thought they were pretty comfortable. However, the very first time I wore them outside, they gave me blisters on the outside ball of the foot, even though I didn't walk that far (less than 15 minutes) and even though I was wearing socks. This could be a width issue, I bought the wide width, and they felt more like a generous medium. They may work fine for you if you don't have wide feet. I just wish I had been able to tell before I wore them outside. They were pretty cute on the foot: low profile, and the black color didn't look too athletic.

I ordered these in my normal size of 9.5 wide. I felt the decorative straps on the sides restricted the width of the shoe. Otherwise a nice looking shoe, but I am returning these.

Too small, super snug in the toes, and since I'm already an 11 I can't order a bigger size. Great looking casual shoe, though. Bummed I to have to return them.

Not as comfortable as I'd like. Area around ankle is too high so it digs into skin. Otherwise comfortable.

These shoes are super cute but unfortunately they do not fit right. They are very narrow on the top of my foot. I went to the wides and they are too big in the back, but okay in the front. Sizing up did not help; only made them longer. I tried to break in the regular width, but they did not loosen up after a 9 hour shift of being on my feet all day. I had red marks where they were digging into my foot. I think these would best for someone with a narrow foot. The bottoms of my feet did not hurt at all when I wore them.

Size and width are not the same as previous Privo shoes.

Fits very narrow on your feet and you may need to go to a wide or C size shoe. I found this shoe to be too narrow. It comfortable with the correct width.

The backs of the shoe are uncomfortable and gave me blisters. We not comfortable for doing lots of walking.

This is my 3rd pair of Privos. Sofrito fit like a dream, but since then each shoe that looks similar in style has had a disappointing fit. Khloe was okay, but fit a bit tight. Now I have Bingle. I have worn them 4 times and still haven't broken them in. The heel is nice and cushy, but the fit is too narrow. I keep kicking my shoes off under the desk at work, because they hurt. The right foot hurts worse than the left. Nice design and nice cushioning, but could be wider.

Bought these for a trip to Europe, trying to avoid wearing sneakers. These shoes were cute to look at but were not so great to wear. They have improved a little bit over the four or five times I've worn them, but they are overall, a disappointment. I read the reviews and felt that the wide width would be right for me. These shoes are seriously narrow at the front for a wide shoe. The heel is too wide for me and slips, pulling socks down. I really liked my last Privo shoe, which was very similar in design. I find it odd that they would vary so much in construction. For the price, I also think the materials used in this design seem cheap.

This show is too narrow at the beginning of the toes. For starters, I have had two pair of these, I returned one, and most graciously, the store took them back. I still cannot wear these shoes for an entire shift, I am a nurse. My feet just start to ache and then I walk to avoid this discomfort and then my back hurts. I have a prior purchase Privo shoe that I absolutely love. The sole is worn out, and yet I will not part with them!

I bought the black pair and I had to send it back to get a half size larger than I usually wear. They seem to be okay with length after that, but the back of the shoe where my heel is... is very uncomfortable. They are not typical to the comfort that Clarks/Privo usually make. I have narrow feet and they still seem too tight. I was not pleased with the overall comfort and initially putting them on, I was very disappointed with how they felt. It’s too bad because they are very cute.

I love the look of this shoe, which I bought to take with me on a trip to Europe, but I won’t be taking them because they don’t stand up well to walking much of a distance. I have taken three 2-miles walks and one 4-mile walk wearing them and have concluded they are definitely not "walkers." I’ll be taking my well-worn walking shoes instead. The soles are not thick enough, either. Knowing what I now know, I would have ordered them a little longer and wider. They are fine for just ordinary wear, however. Clarks makes Privos, and I have been happy with other Clarks shoes, so this purchase was a disappointment.

I'm returning them because they don't fit the same as the other two pairs of comfortable and stylish Privos that I have. The length is fine but these are too narrow even though I have a slightly narrow foot. Also, the back edge (where the tab is) hits my Achilles tendon in an odd way.

I have a narrow foot and these shoes did not fit. Unable to tighten the top cords and shoe itself very stiff on top. So gap of 3/4 inch above my foot. Nice looking shoe, disappointed that I have to return it.

These are too loose at the in-step and I "walk" right out of them. The current pair I am trying to replace have 4 bungee laces and have been great for light work-outs for three years.
