I now own 2 pairs of this shoe and plan to purchase at least one more before they become obsolete....The first purchase was made while walking the streets of NYC with very tired and sore feet! I hope Privo will continue manufacturing this shoe or one with the very same fit.
from Pfafftown, NC on 10/8/2008
These shoes are extremely comfortable and stylish. I have gotten lots of compliments on them and would love to have a pair in every color.

I am fortunate enough to own 5 pair of Privos and this is my favorite. My sister loved mine so much, I bought her a pair for her birthday. Anyone who tries this shoe on and takes 2 steps will have to own a pair!!
from Portland, Oregon on 10/2/2008
These shoes look great, and at first seemed as though they would be very comfy. They have a very cushiony insole, which is good, but it caused a problem for me. My heel would sink down into the insole with every step, causing friction on the back of my ankle. This was in a size 7 ( I normally wear a 7.5) so I ordered a 6.5. The fit on these was better, but still a bit of slip on the back of my ankle that I knew would result in big time blisters. So, I reluctantly returned them. Bummer!

I have three pair of Merrell Zodiac, and wanted to try another brand. These fit identically and are extremely comfortable.

Wore this shoe all over Paris for a week and it still looks great! Very comfortable, even on the plane!
from Atlanta, GA on 8/4/2008
Great alternative to sneakers and flip flops. Bought three pairs in stone, white, and black. LOVE THEM!!! I did buy them in 1/2 size smaller than my true size.
from Naples, FL on 8/2/2008
I have worn Privos before and know to order a half-size smaller than usual. That said, once I started wearing Privos I look here first when I'm shoe shopping.
from Allen Park, MI on 8/1/2008
This shoe is a great slightly dressier alternative to sneakers. Cute enough to wear with summer skirts, casual enough to wear with a swim suit/shorts, the flex-fit insole feels fabulous from day one.
from Oxford, Oh on 7/30/2008
These were a little too big for my foot. i gave them to my mom. She loves them!
I bought three pairs. First pair in the stone bought in my true size and it was a little big but can put in a liner and will work (sold out of size I needed). Bought the black and white pair in 1/2 size smaller and they fit perfect. They are so cute and comfy. I wear mainly skirts and casual dresses and these are cute alternative to my normal Reef Ginger style flip flops.
from Mission Bay on 7/22/2008
I recently bought a pair of the green (pear) and a pair of stone acacia Privos. I have been wearing one or the other ever since. At first, they seem a little snug but not uncomfortable; after a day or so they feel great. It is summer and I wear them hours at a time and my feet do not feel too hot. I'm looking forward to buying many more Privos. I love the cute styles.
from San Diego on 7/21/2008
I love my two pair of acacia privos. I recently bought them for a trip abroad and have been wearing them in advance. I have compliments all the time. Look forward to purchasing other privos. They're great.
from Birmingham, AL on 7/16/2008
I wear this shoe to work at least a few days a week. I work with kids and am on my feet all day. These shoes have been really comfortable and their cute at the same time. I've gotten lots of compliments.
from Wisconsin on 7/11/2008
It looked like white on the website - at least a grey white. When it arrived the color was khaki. This was very disappointing because I really wanted a white shoe. Have been searching all over for this shoe and was so happy when I finally found what I thought to be white. Really need to show true color.
from Portland, OR on 7/9/2008
An incredibly cute shoe! I get compliments all the time. The first time I wore it out I also got a blister on one toe and a sore on the back of my heel. I had to wear it a couple times before that stopped. Now it's incredibly comfy and nice and broken in. Also, get a half size smaller!
from East Greenwich, RI on 7/8/2008
These are the best casual shoes I have worn. They go with many outfits and are so easy to slip on for errands and the beach. I have gotten many compliments on them also.
Great looking shoe, can be worn with jeans or casual style pants. I had to return mine...................they run about a 1/2 size too big.
great shoe! i was worried that it was going to run too big based on other reviews but it is a perfect fit. very comfy and cute!
from Spokane, Washington on 6/26/2008
I have worn Privo shoes before and love the brand. These are comfortable from the first time I put them on! I did not care for the white zig zag stitching on the black shoes I ordered; so, just used a sharpee pen to black out the white stitching and they are now perfect.
I should mention that it is best to try on some privo styles in a store first, sometimes the placement of straps or shoe style cuts into the wide part of my foot. But these are so comfortable, I may have to order them in another color.
from WILMINGTON NC on 6/25/2008
ALITTLE DISAPOINTED. TOO NARROW. BOUGHT 2 PAIRS. ONE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND ONE FOR MYSELF. I ENDED UP RETURNING MINE, WE'LL SEE IF ME DAUGHTER IS HAPPY WITH HERS.KEENS FIT ME MUCH BETTER
from Virginia on 6/25/2008
This shoe is not only comfortable with good arch and support but is very cute on the foot and definitely a great alternative to wearing regular athletic shoes for walks, vacations or any occasion. Looks much more stylish for shorter pant lengths (capri, knee length shorts, etc.). It has become my most worn shoe to complement all the bright summer colors!
from Helena, MT on 6/16/2008
I tried on a pair locally so I knew they ran big. I bought a pair a half size smaller, and they seemed great for an hour or so. Then they started to rub a sore spot on my little toe, and on my big toe joint. I'm going to up a half size, back to my normal size, and see if I can make them work, because the insoles are awesome, and I really do love the shoe.
from modesto, ca on 6/16/2008
have used shoes with a skirt and capris and they look and felt wonderful. I love the colors available for the shoes and plan to buy in other colors.
from Lebanon,TN on 6/11/2008
These are the best shoes that I have ever put on my feet. They are worth every penny that they cost.
from Newport News VA on 6/10/2008
Have been looking for a shoe that would be comfortable after falling last year and hurting my right foot's achilles tendon. NOW there is something that HURTS and this is the first pair of shoes that has allowed me to walk in comfort. I now have 3 pairs and even purchased one for my daughter ..
from Middletown, NJ on 6/10/2008
I have several pairs of the Privo line. I love them all.
from Paso Robles, CA on 6/5/2008
Very comfortable - I have foot problems and these ease the pain!
from Russellville,AL on 6/3/2008
This is my second pair of privo shoes and they are the most comfortable and long wearing shoe I have ever owned. I absolutely love them!
from Chapel Hill, NC on 6/2/2008
I'm a stay at home mom and wear this shoe running around town. It's very comfortable and easy to walk in. My feet get hot alittle easily, so they feel alittle warm, but they are breathable. A great shoe I'd buy again!
from Ithaca, NY on 5/29/2008
These are great when I walk around town. Since I got them lots of people have admired them. Once the velcro is fastened, they can slip on and off. The only negative is that the heel is a little loose.
from Kokomo, IN on 5/23/2008
These were too big in an 8, so I got 7-1/2. They felt good in the store, but when I wore them, they started feeling too tight. I guess I need a 7-3/4! I really like them so I am bummed out about the fit. I am hoping they will stretch a bit. I have other Privos in 7-1/2 & they are great. I will certainly recommend them to someone with a narrower foot.
from Kansas on 5/22/2008
I would define this shoe as roomy rather than too large. I ordered MY SIZE and took some time deciding if it was too large. If you ever wear socks, it will fit perfectly, but even without socks, the toe strap and the heel bed do not allow any slippage when you walk. I decided I liked the toe room and stayed with my normal size. I have received numerous compliments on them and am thinking about ordering ORANGE too!
from Rochester, NY on 5/21/2008
This shoe runs just a little big but is SOOOOO comfortable. There is absolutely no break-in period. It's an adorable shoe with great traction and looks great with jeans or casual summer dresses.
from Cleveland, OH on 5/21/2008
great for everyday use--from work to the playground.
from Garden City, NY on 5/20/2008
I purchased this shoe in an size 8.5
It was too big so I exchanged it for a size 8, which was too small, so these shoes did not work out for me.
I bought this shoe in 2 colors for a cruise vacation. I wore them non stop and found them very comfortable especially on walking excursions. I did have to buy them ! whole size smaller becauuse they do run very generous in size.
from Big Flats, NY on 5/16/2008
I think they were miss-marked. If they truly were correctly marked, they were like clown shoes. They were about 2 sizes longer than normal and my heel slid in and out as I walked in them. Maybe someone else would have better luck.
from Deerfield, IL on 5/16/2008
Great shoe but unfortunaltey not for people with high arch and boney foot. The piece that holds the band at the top of the foot was very uncomfortable.
from AL on 5/10/2008
These shoes are so cute and comfortable. I had to go down 1/2 size....wear a 7 in most shoes and needed a 6 1/2 in these.
They look great with capris and shorts, and even with khakis for work. I stand on my feet for 8-12 hours at work and they passed the test. Another great Privo find.
from Pensacola, FL on 5/7/2008
These are the cutest shoes! I tried them on in a local store and then purchased them at onlineshoes.com. After trying them on in the store, my regular size felt too large so I ordered a half size smaller. It may just be the style is not right for my feet because the size I ordered rubbed my toes and felt short. I rated them 4 stars even though I ended up sending the shoes back, because I certainly would have kept them if I could have found a good fit.
from Portland, OR on 5/6/2008
These shoes definitely run a little big - I normally wear an 8 but ordered a 71/2 based on the reviews. Even after going down a half size they feel a little roomy - but not so much that I would go down to a 7.
These are my second pair of these shoes. I just love them. They are stylish, cute and incredibly comfortable. I have problems with my heels but when I wear these shoes I never have heel pain.

Teaching preschool special education, I need a shoe that covers my toes and is comfortable, flexible and stain resistant. This shoe (and I have several privos) is the best as it has the elastic across the top of the shoe. I love it and want it in every color!

These may be the perfect shoes! Most shoes hurt my feet in some way or another - but these are so comfy. They solve the problem comfortable shoes to walk for miles without having to wear socks and something bulky like running shoes. They are cool and comfortable and look great with shorts. They are excellent for travel because they are precious and versatile enough to wear with anything - REALLY! On my last trip I packed several pairs of shoes but only wore this pair with everything.
Buy these shoes - you won't regret it!

Put the shoes on as soon as I left the store didn't want to take them off. I have very bad hip and back pain these made a big difference.
