Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks P-Berry

I am a flat footed, diabetic college instructor whose job requires standing for several hours at a time. This is the only ballerina flat I have been able to wear. A lot of flats are so narrow at the base of the toes that I have been rubbed raw by them (not recommended for diabetics). This shoe is wide enough to fully support my foot within the regions of the sole. Many comfort flats don't support the entire bottom of the foot and this results in the side of the foot overhanging the sole and stretching the upper of the shoe, which can cause the development of additional foot problems. The sole also provides great stability and does not allow my foot to overpronate even after a long day. The Privo by Clarks P-berry has enough arch support so that I do not have foot pain after a lot of standing and walking. The shoe has a sporty but fashionable look, cute with skirts and capri pants, which makes it a versatile choice with a number of looks. I am so glad I found this shoe!

My first Privo shoe style was the Acacia Mary Jane. I loved them and wore them out. The innersole could be removed and cleaned. This does not appear to be the case for Privos now. The P-Berry is so flimsy compared to the Acacia. It does not have the same quality at all. If P-Berry is indicative of Privo now, I will not be buying the brand any more.

Excellent Shoe- I first bought the tan one at the outlet store, and then found it in black here. I have flat feet and this is the only summer shoe I can walk in for hours. At the beginning I get a blister in the back, but once that is over and I've broken into them, they are great. I still have both colors.

My fave go to casual shoes. Love that they are available here! I have wide feet and a high instep, but these fit perfectly in a medium width, and there is a solid arch support. These are the only flat shoes I have ever had that I can wear long term.

These were my favorite shoes a few years ago and I am so happy they brought them back! Just know that these are the only Clarks I have ever bought that were not a size 9; bought a 8-1/2 based on others' recommendations and they fit perfectly.

My feet are so happy in these shoes! They're comfy and stylish too. I often get asked, "where did youget those shoes?" whenever I have them on!

I was so excited to see these shoes being offered again. I have one pair in the exact same color. They are getting a little dirty and worn after wearing all last summer. I am so happy to be able to have a backup pair. They are perfect.

I usually love all Privo shoes, but these were huge. My normal 8.5 size was way too big. Order at least 1/2 size smaller if you are getting these shoes as they do not fit like other Privo styles.

I had a pair of Privo Mary Janes that I loved. The innersole was removable and could be cleaned. These do not seem to be as good a quality as the Mary Janes were. They are lighter weight and have a different feel to them.

I buy a pair of Privos every year because of cute style and comfort. I always buy a size 9. I didn't hesitate this year, but when I received them, to my surprise, the fit was at least 1 size too large. I would recommend ordering these about 1/2 size smaller (I have narrow feet so could be why they felt a full size too big). I don't like the style quite as much as last year...the sole is very heavy in back. Must send them back.

I wanted these for a trip to Europe with lots of walking. They run a little big and the heel is wide so it slips. I tried them around the house for the day and my feet were sore after a few hours. I have a feeling if I kept them, they would rub in the heel and cause blisters.

I always buy Clarks shoes and have been extremely disappointed in this purchase. Feeling confident on the sizing, I threw out all packaging before properly testing them out. The sizing of this style is completely incorrect. I would suggest to anyone to order a size BELOW your normal fit.
