I'm sure some of the puddles I stepped in while wearing them were more than an inch deep and no water got in... that was until they started to wear out. aside from the linings looking like a shredded mess, there was an inch long split through most of the layers just above the sole material. they just generally lost their shape as well. oh, another comment on the soffritos: although they are reasonably breathable, the are waterproof for pretty deep puddles.

I love them--I've worn them through a month in europe (totally comfortable), spilled chocolate sauce on them (they cleaned up fine), and they still look very new. I have the black ones.

And I like the little bumps - It's like getting a mini foot massage with every step. I've only had them for a couple months so can't speak to their longevity.

The reviews on zappos look great. I was thinking the tecquini, but now, I'm rethinking my choice the others are really cute!

Seems annoying to have your purse hanging there. I don't understand the use of that purse thing at all. Seems annoying to have your purse hanging there.

They were great for traveling. I got mine at Piperlime.com, which has free shipping and free returns, so you're not out any money if you decide you don't like them.

And Jen, Privos are made by Clarks, and although Clarks were considered a well-crafted shoe at one time, I think they got bought out a few years ago and they are not what they once were. This is according to a few podiatrists I know. I love how the Privos look but have thus far avoided them, knowing that they might very well fall apart before I am done with them.

I liked them a lot and wore them more than every other day, but somehow, I think they ought to have lasted longer than 10 months. I've had other shoes that I've similarly abused as the favourite shoe that I've worn 3 years straight. I bought a pair of Privos during the last January sales and just retired them.
