Customer Reviews Privo by Clarks Leap

Comfy, BUT - Nice looking shoe, but definitely not true to size. I ordered a full size smaller and it was still too big and wide. Since it’s for casual wear it works, but definitely would order a full size and a half smaller.

Casual, comfortable, a bit big. I ordered a full size smaller but shoe is still a bit too big. Cotton socks solved the problem but if you do not wear socks the shoes will be too big for you.

Privo Leap - Privo has recently become my favorite brand of shoe. These are not as comfortable as the other two pairs that I have, but are still more comfortable than most other shoes. People do need to realize that the shoes tend to run large so order a 1/2 size smaller than you normally wear unless your foot is particularly wide. I just want to say that Zappos will be the only online shoe store for me! These shoes were $4.00 cheaper than at a competitors store and your free shipping in both directions beats everyone else! I ordered these on Monday morning and they arrived on Tuesday and it didn't cost me a penny for shipping!

Runs big - penny on the back is a little cheesy - I ordered these but just returned them. They are pretty cute but I couldn't get over the cheesy little penny on the back. I ordered the black and the white/silver piping design was a little too athletic looking for how I would prefer to wear them. They are definitely at least a half size bigger than standard.

Review of Privo's Leap - This shoe is cute and comfortable but has no arch support. The sole is fabric and therefore not as supportive as some of the other Privo shoes. I bought them for a trip to Europe but instead ended up with the Privo Leslie, which has much better arch support.

Really good shoe - I bought these shoes before my trip to NYC knowing we were going to be doing a lot of walking. They held up much better than I thought they would! When I first put the shoes on, they felt like slippers (love that!). However, after days of pounding hard concrete, my feet were still a bit sore. Maybe better arch support would've helped? Although I can honestly say that I think they were better on my feet than anything else I had in my closet would've been. I have already recommended these shoes to several people. My mom seems to have problems with anything that's not a sneaker, but she hates the sneaker look. I thought these might be a great alternative for her to wear on a daily basis. I did order a 1/2 size smaller, as recommended in other reviews and that was right on! Also, I tend to have wide feet and these shoes were perfect for me! Definitely worth the money I spent on them.

Pretty good. I love the egg-crate insole, but the sole is a bit too flexible. I tend to feel a lot of bumps while walking around the city, but other than that, they are a great work shoe! There was no breaking in involved whatsoever.

Love the penny. My favorite part of these shoes is the fake penny on the back - it gets compliments constantly. I also like that you can dress them up and down. The only downside is that it's a wider-than-normal shoe, which means it sometimes slips off my narrow foot. (Good thing, though, is that it runs about 1/2 size big, which is good for my size 11 1/2 foot!)

Flats - Ordered because I liked other Privo shoes, but this one doesn't have the arch support or the level of cushioning of "Comice". It is and looks flat. Very flat. Still it is very comfy shoe if you don't need cushioning, but it is cut low to just above the toes and leaves a little red mark if I wear it all day.

Good purchase - I was looking for a nice, sporty flat that was higher quality. These were great. They run a little large; I wear about a 10.5 or 11, and 10 fits well, though the heel takes a few days to break in. I get compliments on them all the time.

Way big - This shoe is cute and comfy...especially for the price. I'd try a size smaller next time. Love Privo's in general.

I really like the look of this shoe. It's sporty and cute. The comfort is what I would expect from a Privo shoe. But I agree with others, that the biggest drawback of this shoe is the width. It's just a bit too wide. It's something I could live with, but I know I can do better.

Leap for a different shoe - I wear an 8 and this shoe was way too big. It's quite flimsy for the price. Big disappointment.

Feels like you're barefoot - Shoe is wide and much bigger than true size. It feels like you are wearing slippers when you have it on. If you walk a lot it feels like you are barefoot- does not give a lot of padded comfort.

This shoe, while very cute, I get lots of compliments, is not quite as supportive as other Privos. It also seemed much wider than similar Privos. I ended up putting in a gel insert which helped with both of the problems.

Very wide, no arch support - These shoes are very cute. Being a size 9, I started w/ an 8 (as suggested in other reviews), too small on the R foot. Returned for 8.5, same problem. Returned for 9, my feet slip right out of them, especially the L. Too bad, they're cute, but unless you have a *very* wide foot you're probably going to have a problem. As for the sizing, I have no idea what to say. If you are a true size 9, med width, don't waste your time.

Look More Comfortable Than They Are - These shoes look like they will be really comfy, but sadly they are not. There is no support of any kind, for the price you pay you would like to have an actual shoe on your feet. Also the front part cuts in to the top of my foot and the back rubs in a painful way. I tried both a 9 1/2 and a 10, and neither was right.

Big - Extremely wide for a B or medium width. It flops when I walk. Cute, but doesn't fit well at all.
