Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Bingle

Too narrow! Seriously! I have loved Privos in the past, but these were sized so strangely. I bought 1/2 size up, and they were too long and too narrow. Returned them and got the Jambu Himalaya, which I'm loving.

My first pair of Privo's and not thrilled. The material was rough on the inside rubbing my heel and area below my pinky toe. The insole was not soft and in fact, had a rough texture. I have seen other Privo's and the insole was much softer to the touch. These shoes are lightweight and had great cushioning while walking but the previously stated problems have left me no option but to return.

Very comfortable, but too wide. I really wanted to like these shoes, but the fact that they don't really tie, but are just held together with elastic, kept me from tightening them over my foot. They were way too loose in the middle. Laces would have improved this shoe. Had to return.

I really love the look of this shoe, but it just doesn't fit well. I had to order a half size larger, but then the heel slipped even though it runs narrower in width, so had to send it back too. Love Privo shoes for their comfort and style, but this one just doesn't have a good fit.

Such cute shoes, seem to offer ample support and lots of cushion -- but they really hurt the top of my feet. Even with the thinnest socks. I should have returned them, but I really thought they would loosen up after a bit of wearing. No such luck.

I have two pairs of Privos that I love in size 7.5. I wanted to wear these with slightly thicker socks so I ordered an 8. They are tiny. They pinch my feet. I am returning them and might try a bigger size and wide (although I have narrow feet, these shoes are super narrow) because they are super cute, but I'm not feeling optimistic about the fit. I'm pretty sure Privo has changed something because the sizing is nowhere near the same as my other pairs.

Disappointment in a box! These were to be my 5th pair of Privo's. But I returned them because my 4-year-old Privo's have more cushion than these! Where's the arch support? What happened to the Privo's I loved?

I really liked the style of these shoes but unfortunately the fit was quite awkward. They were very narrow in the toe and through the in-step, and were a bit wide in the heel. They had the typical Privo sole, which was very comfortable, but unfortunately the pinch across my in-step forced me to return the shoes.

I like the way the shoe looks but had to return size 8 and get 1/2 size larger. The first Privo shoe I purchased( style-Soffrito)was & still is a wonderful shoe. Other Privos I've tried since then, although described as having the same kind of sole, comfort factor, etc. are definitely not the same. The sole feels much thinner and your feet get tired quickly. This never happened with their earlier shoes. I can still walk in my Soffritos the entire day and my feet aren't tired. Also, the inside of this most current purchase is rough along the inside of the shoe (specifically along the outside of your foot) and you must wear sock or something to keep it from being uncomfortable. I really wish Privos were like they used to be. They still look stylish and cute but they fail to come close to the comfort factor they used to have. Like many things, there is probably a different manufacturer being used and the quality has changed. Privo, please go back to what you used to manufacture! Quality control and high standards matter.

I love my Privo Jobas and I thought the Bingle would be a good replacement since they don’t stock my size in the Joba anymore (why do they do that), but that wasn’t the case. The toe area is more pointed on the Bingle than on the Joba. I didn’t pick up on that in the online pictures. If the whole shoe wasn’t so narrow (body and toe area), I would have probably reordered a larger size. I just want Privo Jobas back!!!

Loved the first pair of these I had. I wanted a duplicate, but these are cut higher and dug into my heel!

Too narrow at the front (near toes) and too wide at the heel. The material felt cheap like cardboard. I was not happy with the comfort or quality of this shoe. Am returning it.

These shoes are truly terrible. They feel like Earth shoes. Don't buy them.

These shoes were extremely tight in the front, but then slipped a little in the heel. I have always been a 9.5, and I could barely get this shoe on! Too narrow, too painful, must return.

I want to like these shoes, but I just can't. Granted, I have bony feet, but these shoes are so uncomfortable that they are actually painful, and I've given them plenty of chances. Basically, they hurt all over.

I am returning these. I got the wide and they felt okay in the toes, but the heel slipped so bad that I could not wear these. I am very disappointed! Privo shoes are one of my favorites!

These sneakers were not comfortable at all. They were at least a half a size too small. You definitely have to were socks with these. They painfully rubbed against the back of my feet. After walking all day the following day, my feet were still killing me and now I'm out of dollars. What a shame.

A completely different size, width and shape than my beloved Privos that need replacing. The new ones are tiny, narrow, shallow through ball of foot and toebox. I'm so disappointed! What happened to the wonderful Privo footbed?
