4.0 out of 5 stars
Privo Acacia Flat, April 8, 2008
All Clarke's Privos are very good, but the Acacia is LESS "very good" than the others (especially the sadly discontinued Zombies, which deserve SIX stars!). It has the accommodating wide toe box and the interior and sole are comfortable and supportive, but the upper is relatively stiff and the sizing runs large; plus the elastic strap is not easily adjustable (the velcro fasteners are very stiff and will not stay in place). Great looking shoe and relatively comfortable, but not worth the price. Clarke's should go back to the Zombies which, for solid comfort, good looks, and wearability, can't be beat.

shoe Sizing is Off, February 29, 2008
This review is from: Privo Women's Acacia Mary Jane (Apparel)
Privo shoes are terrific; however, this style runs extremely large. I am now wearing another style privo size 8.5. So I ordered this style at 8.5. It was too large so I returned it at my expense and ordered an 8. This also was too large. So I am returning this and trying one more time for a 7.5. If this doesn't fit, I give up.

My New Favorite Shoe, April 11, 2008
This review is from: Privo Women's Acacia Mary Jane (Apparel)
I don't agree with the reviewer who criticized the strap and construction. Granted, I haven't experienced the discontinued Zombies style, which she said is great. I'm sure it is. But the Acacia is near perfect for my purpose, which is summer walking without resorting to ugly sneakers. The Acacia is light and airy, the strap stays in place. You don't have to redo the Velcro every time you put them on; you can just slip your foot into it standing. The stone color is gorgeous, and the black accents make them look great with black pants. Do order a half size smaller than usual. I normally wear 9 or 9-1/2, rarely 8-1/2. I ordered 8-1/2 and the fit is perfect. I also ordered the same size in the Monty, which fits fine, but I prefer the Acacia, especially for walking.
