At first, the back part of shoe felt too high but after wearing it a couple of times I got used to it. Now I forget I have shoes on, thats how comfortable they are. My job requires me to be on my feet 90% of the time and its really important to be comfortable- these shoes are perfect.

I have several pairs of Privo shoes; however these were too short and I had to return them.
from Los Angeles, CA on 11/17/2008
I got a lot of compliments on this shoe and a friend ran out and got a pair for herself. It is a fun sporty looking shoe that looks great with any casual pant or short. Comfortable to wear without socks

I have 2 pairs of Privo Joyner Sandals. These sandals fit very well. The Sofrito does not have the same insole and it is not as well made as the Joyner. It also is not as comfortable. The Sofrito distributes weight differently than the Joyner and that hurts my back. I find the Sofrito to be very uncomfortable.

I returned the shoes.
My sister in law had these shoes and I just LOVED how cute they were. I have been looking for a comfy yet stylish shoe to wear casually. I read several other reviews before purchasing, and am very glad I did. They do run a half size smaller, and I tested this first by trying them on in a department store before buying online. The back of the shoe caused blisters on the first day but they are the best shoes I have ever purchased! LOVE THEM!

This Privo style is super cute and comfy. The brown actually has a bit of metallic in it which makes parts of the shoe shiny. You can't really see that in the picture. Be forewarned, all Privos take some breaking in. They are not comfortable the moment you put them on, but after you break them in you'll never want to take them off! I love Privos. I've been wearing them for years. Their comfortable, made for all day walking and heavy activity (summer hikes, biking, yardwork, etc...). I even turned my old pair into painting, house work shoes and my back doesn't hurt nearly as bad as it used too in my old "work" shoes.

The most comfortable shoes I have purchased from taking them out of the box wear them most days
from Battle Ground, Wa on 8/1/2008
they feel so great I can wear them all day...something I haven't been able to do for quite some time...thank you
from Edmonds, WA on 7/10/2008
This shoe feels like a slipper! So comfortable. Easy to slip on and off. Great for travel. I have had many comments on how great it looks. Also, my feet look small in this shoe.
from Maryland on 6/19/2008
I thot these looked stylish for the gym. I tried them with thin socks and they rubbed in the wrong spots, so I tried wearing them with no socks, and within 2 minutes my feet were sweating like crazy. Very uncomfortable!!
Based on the other reviews, I ordered a half size smaller - wrong! Reordered the next size up. Wanted them for work where I am on my feet all day but need something cute. They are certainly cute, but I wore them for one day and couldn't wait to get out of them. There is very little support. And you can't adjust the bungee cords. Might have been more comfortable if I could have snugged them up. Sorry, Privo fans.
from Dighton, MA on 5/15/2008
I throw these on everyday when I get home from work to go outside and play with my son. They are comfortable but the arch on the back top of the heel is a little hard and it takes getting use to.
from Michigan on 5/7/2008
I wear this shoe all the time. School, shopping, and on my daily walks. It is comfortable and literally goes with anything. It takes a little bit to wear them in but once they loosen up a bit are perfect.
from Plymouth, Mi on 5/7/2008
I wanted a comfortable shoe that was as comfortable as an athletic shoe but better looking and I got just that. I have gotten alot of compliments on this great shoe.
from Cleveland on 4/30/2008
Privo's are instantly comfortable with no "break-in" period.
from St. Simons Is., GA on 3/4/2008
I am truly surprised that these shoes go with so many things - I wear them a lot. This is my second pair - love these shoes.
from Kearney, NE on 2/28/2008
I love these shoes and so does everyone who sees them! I wear hoodies with jeans a lot and they look sooo cute! They are more comfy now that I've worn them a few times because I need wide width and they only offer medium. They do feel a half size too big in the toe area but I'm glad I went with my normal size because of the width issue. Love these shoes though!!!
from CALDWELL, NJ on 2/14/2008
THIS IS MY SECOND PAIR OF PRIVOS. THEY ARE TRUELY THE MOST COMFORTABLE "OUT OF THE BOX" SHOE I'VE EVER OWNED. THEY HAVE ENOUGH SUPPORT TO WEAR ALL DAY SHOPPING OR RUNNING ERRANDS. THEY'RE GREAT TOO FOR TRAVEL, SLIP ON AND OFF EASILY FOR AIRPORT TRAVEL. ORDERING ANOTHER PAIR ASAP.
Simply put.... I just love these shoes. I am constantly being asked where I got them and/or what brand name they are.
They are just too cute
Bought these shoes on Thanksgiving weekend on a trip to Miami, had I known what a fab deal I was getting [$] I would have gotten two pair or more. I use these shoes without socks to slip-on & wear to gym, or around the house on weekends. Have worn them to work some and always get compliments on them when I do. As I live in Alaska where we have hard, slick ice & snow all winter I have not used them as much as I would like, I really do not recommend them on dewy ice at all, I nearly went down in that condition. All in all I love these shoes so far, and hope they hold up well. As I don't know when I will see them for sale up here I won't put them through too rough a usage so as to have them around longer. In the mean time I will keep checking the online sales for them...
from Ramstein Germany on 2/3/2008
Great for casual wear. I can wear with or without socks. I like them for traveling, especially in ariport, no laces to tie you down. Wish they had more colors and fabrics, I would buy more.
from Southern Illinois on 1/19/2008
I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and fairly supportive. Since I don't work outside the home, I live in these. One down side - I have a very high arch and a widish foot and ideally I take a wide shoe. Since I wear size 11, the wide width shoes are few and far between so I usually take my chances with med width. I did great with these shoes until I started wearing very thick socks with them in the winter - not a smart move. They ripped on the side at the seam. (bummer!) When I wore them barefoot or w/ thin socks, they were great. I love these shoes so much, I'm going through the trouble and expense to take them to a shoe repair shop to get them sewn up since it's a very clean rip at the seam. Love them but if you have a borderline wide foot, just wear thinner socks or none at all. (they are comfortable enough to do that and they breathe so there is no major smell!)

shoes are very comfortable, love privos
from Parker, Colorado on 1/1/2008
I love these shoes. I normally cannot wear the same shoes more than one day in a row or my feet really hurt. But, these shoes are really comfortable and I can wear them over and over again.
from Denver Colorado on 12/7/2007
These shoes are stylish but very comfortable. I wear them all the time in a casual setting as well as to work in a business casual setting. I recommend privos in general to anyone looking for a new pair of shoes.
I'd read great things about this shoe, so I tried it on in a store. Boy, am I glad I did - it's like most Privo shoes this season. All style and no support. Sorry guys - it looks great, but no go.
I always get compliments when I wear this shoe. They are very comfortable shoes and can be worn all day. I love that they slip on and off- no laces that need tying. They can be a little slick on slippery surfaces, so you need to be careful on wet surfaces.
I really like these shoes...they're like walking on a bed of cotton.
from bernardsville, nj on 11/8/2007
I ordered these shoes in a 7 1/2 wide, they run larger, had to exchange for a 7wide and they fit great.
from Salem, Oregon on 10/30/2007
I am a Special Ed School Teacher, teaching Autistic children and I am on my feet all day and many times I am running. The Privos keep my feet comfortable, stable, have a good grip and even allow me to look stylish. I absloutely love these shoes. I even have them in brown.
from San Mateo, Ca on 8/22/2007
I work as a nurse and these are one of the few shoes that are still comfortable after a 12hr shift
from Wichita, KS on 8/3/2007
Would recommend these to anyone. Easily slip on and off. Comfortable enough to wear all day.
from Austin, Texas on 8/2/2007
Great pair of shoes I wore most of the winter-easy to throw on and head out from anywhere to football games to the farmer's market(and SO comfortable with or without socks!)
from arab alabama on 7/31/2007
