Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Kulin

I think that these shoes are cute, but they are not comfortable at all for me. I intended to wear them to/from the walk to work, but I got horrible blisters on my heels after my first trip. I tried socklets, bandaids, blister block, and moleskin, but I'm still getting blisters.

These would be very comfortable if it were not for the sewn part that falls right on top of the little toe. I received terrible blisters from the thread on both little toes only after less than an hour in them. I could barely make it to the store to get some flip flops to get me home. Additionally, these shoes have absolutely no give in any way - they cause discomfort in the above the toes line where the shoe ends. The arch support is really good though. When I first put these shoes on I thought they were heavenly...until I walked in them for a few hours.

At first glance, this shoe looks just like my last pair of Privos, which I loved. It is cut a little higher. After wearing them though, my feet had blisters and red lines all around the edges. I can\'t wear these at all because the edges are finished differently. I ran my finger along the inside edge of my previous Privos and the edge is smooth. These have been sewn with a rough plastic thread that cuts into my skin. Hate them.

This shoe had a lot of potential but just too tight across the toe bed of the foot and runs a 1/2 size smaller.

My favorite Privo of all time was the Privo Mesa. The Privo Kulin wreaked havoc on my achilles tendon. I wore them to Walt Disney World and had swelling on my achilles tendon. In order to run, I had to cut out the heel on my running shoes and run with no pressure on my tendon for 2 months. I wear the Kulins with a vertical V cut out to take the pressure of my tendon.

These are cute shoes, but I agree with the other reviewers; terrible fit. The toes do not give at all, there is something exhausting about wearing these shoes. Not good walking shoes, not even good standing still shoes, despite the sporty design. That is not a good thing, and I wish I had not bought them. If I hsd gotten them through Zappos instead of at a store (where I was stupid enough to wear them home) I could have returned them!

This shoe looks so cute, and I\'ve great luck with Privos in the past, so I wore these straight to work. And they tore up my heels. Looks great, feels awful.

These shoes are hugely uncomfortable. I wore them around the house to check them out and they seemed fine. Then I walked outside and for a longer time and they killed my feet. While I like how they look, I've just paid money for shoes I can't wear. I have other Privo shoes that are wonderful (the Berry style), but these are bad. Too stiff and they bind. Different size wouldn't help.
