I have several pairs of Privo sandals. They have all been very comfortable and provide more support for the foot than a lot of others I tried. So when I saw this pair, I didn't hesitate to buy them. I really like the looks of them, but they are far less comfortable than my other pairs. They have little bumps in the sole that makes it feel like I'm walking on tiny pebbles. It is supposed to be a massage for the feet, but I find it annoying. Also, the sole is made from a rubbery stuff that makes my feet feel clammy. The upshot is that I don't wear them without socks, which kind of defeats the purpose of sandals. May be just a personal preference, but I wouldn't buy them again.
