This will sound shallow and irreverent, but it won't surprise you. I scope out shoes at church. I can't help it. It's the only day of the week I have the opportunity to see over 900 pairs of fairly dressy shoes as I'm now a work-at-home-mom. Twice I've seen the Privo Kristie walking around on the feet of a lady I don't know. While I feel perfectly comfortable stopping you at the playground to quiz you on your comfortable shoes, I can't do it at church. I just can't. So she walked on by and I made a mental note to look up the style on Zappos when I got home. It's the Kristie flat by Privo and 9 out of 11 customers give it five stars for comfort, the other two award four stars.
Here's what folks like about the Privo Kristie:
- Round toe with generous toe box--not typical for ballet-style flats
- Accommodating of wider foot
- Great travel shoe--dressy enough for outings, but very walkable
- Cushioned insole and flexible outsole
Keep in mind:
- Read customer comments about sizing (varying opinions on whether to order up or down).
- Concerned about heel rubbing? Try moleskin.
- Privo isn't known for tremendous arch support. Try an arch insert.
Where to buy (sizes 5-11):
- Zappos: Gray/Purple, $72; Black and Brown, $81.
- Amazon: $36-92, special offers available.
- Endless: $50-70, special offers available.
