I am a big fan of Privo shoes, however I was a little disappointed in these. They seemed a little big and bulky. They hurt a little where the strap is because the strap is not adjustable. They are mostly comfortable though. They are cute & casual.

Exchanged for 1/2 size smaller and it was still a bit loose. The shoe was so attractive that I kept it and hoped that I wouldn't slip out much. Very comfortable and goes with slacks and casual skirts. If I ordered another pair, I would order it a 1/2 size smaller and then exchange it to the current size if it were too small.

I ordered half size down because of prior reviews and even that was too big, so had go down a whole size. But now that I have the size down, they are ever so slightly wide, but that is more a problem of my narrow foot rather than the shoe. Totally comfy!

very comfortable
from Mullin, TX on 10/1/2008
Really surprised at how off this shoe was on the sizing. I wear a 7.5 and it fit more like a large 8.

Very comfortable and thats from a picky girl that usually lives in danskos!

Fun shoe. Had to return w/o reordering because of the sizing.
I tried this on in a mall store first and discovered they ran a whole size larger (I wear a 7 1/2 but the 6 1/2 fit perfect). I have 2 other Privo styles that run true to size so don't know what happened with this style.

feels like my foot tends to fall inwards - not much medial support. Very comfortable right from the start though
from California on 8/14/2008
I own a pair of Mesa shoes by Privo and loved them from the minute I tried them on. I thought the sizing and comfort would translate into all of their other styles, but I was mistaken.

I love these shoes. This was my first pair of Privo shoes. I have been hooked since. I have two pair of these shoes. I use one pair exclusively for my Curves workout.

These are great shoes with one exception. The insoles are just right, really comfortable. The sides of the shoes are really loose (not just wide) they feel more like a slipper.

I wore these on a trip through the UK and they were perfectly comfortable. Cute enough so I could have photos taken and not have to explain my footwear later...
from AA, MI on 6/5/2008
Bought before trip to Europe. Very comfortable right away. Seem to run a bit big in length as they sometimes slip off my heel on my smaller foot. Width good for my wide toebox (similar styles in other brands did not fit as well).

These are very comfotable shoes, but definitely run big. I originally ordered my true size from a different site and then came across the reviews here about them running big. I then ordered 1/2 size smaller, but still have trouble with them sliding off my heels. I am making due with heel inserts to prevent slipping. Aside from the fit issues, I love them.
from Queens, New York on 5/14/2008
I work in a hospital and I am on my feet ALL day. It is difficult for me to find a shoe that is comfortable. I have to say that this shoe feels like a slipper with much more support. The cushion insole is incredible. The one and only issue I have with the shoe is that my foot slips at times when walking too fast. I solved this issue by purchasing Dr. Sholls no slip heel cushion liner. I am already looking to buy another pair in a different color!
These are cute & comfortable, but I'm considering sending them back because of the sizing. After reading the reviews, I ordered the shoes 1/2 size smaller than usual (I wear a 5.5, ordered the 5). They are still a little too big, but don't offer these shoes any smaller.

Great walking shoe
from New York, NY on 4/24/2008
Nice casual shoe that was used in between seasons when it was getting to warm for and I was getting tired of wearing boots. Quite comfortable without being heavy !!
I bought these in chocolate and they fit perfectly-no size issues at all. I am a true size 8, and that is what I bought in these as well. I wear an 8.5 in althletic shoes (for running or cross-trainer type shoes), but in all other shoes I wear an 8 and these were no exception. Love the way they feel, and look with khakis and/or jeans. Great shoe for anyone on their feet all day and on the go a lot!
from Chesapeake, Va on 3/24/2008
I love this shoe! I was so impressed with the comfort I ordered two more colors (black & brown) my first pair were the denim, it is a very good color to were with your denim jeans & capris. I put them on right out of the box, no breaking in required!
I love these shoes. A 10 is normally tight on my foot and squeezing my toes but these are just right. They are comfortable and stylishly fun looking. Unfortunately I cannot keep them because I have to use orthotics in my shoes. When I insert the the orthotic my foot sits too high and the shoe slips up and down as I walk. It is the orthotic, NOT the shoe that is the problem. If it weren't for the orthotic insert I would keep these shoes and wear them EVERYDAY, EVERYWHERE

Privo shoes are quite nice and I believe a good value; however, they are not true to size! Therefore, they should offer smaller sizes or simply state that their sizes begin at a size 6, not a size 5.
from Medina, OH on 2/15/2008
I love these shoes! I get complimented everytime I wear them. They are comfortable, but dressy enough to not resemble a tennis shoe. Wear with capris, jeans, bermuda shorts and light as a feather!
from va on 2/12/2008
Cute shoes, not true to size, but still comfortable.
These shoes run big... very big. I'm usually a 7 1/2; I needed a 6 1/2 in the privo float. But they are amazingly comfy and so cute!!
from Long Island, NY on 11/29/2007
I really love the way these shoes look and they are very comfortable. However, I had to return the shoes because they were too big and the strap of the mary jane was too tight and hurting my foot. I have a wide foot and normally wear either a 6 1/2 W or 7 M. I ordered a 7M and this shoe felt 1/2 bigger. I was reluctant to try the 6 1/2 since the strap was bothering me with the larger size, so I exchanged them for a different shoe. Hope it works out better for someone else!
