This is my favorite shoe. I have worn them for a long time and also worn out several pairs. I like to have several colors of Helen so that I can wear them with many outfits. They fit me just fine, I know what size to order online and it usually works. Some of the leathers are a bit stiffer (metallics) than others and will hurt between my toes but I stay away from the stiffer leathers or buy that color in the store for a better fit. Great shoe, lightweight, great fit.

I bought these Mephisto Helen sandals after wearing Birkenstocks for the last year. I think the Mephistos have much better support. The soles are cushiony and very comfortable. They are slightly narrow, but fit fine. There was no "break in" period; they were great from the start. Mine have a shiny patent finish which I like, and have had compliments on.

With a case of chronic plantar fasciitis, I am forced to be very fussy about my shoes. These Mephisto sandals are wonderful! Great arch support and comfortable from the first step out of the box.

I love these shoes and I now have them in 2 colors. They are very comfortable and great for walking. Lots of arch support. They fit my narrow foot much better than other comfort brands like Birkenstock or Simple and they are a bit more stylish.

I love Mephistos and I found the best price at Zappos! Every time I order, it comes right away, and they have the best return policy. Also they are great at getting the credit back on your card timely. I hardly every shop for shoes, except with Zappos.

Great sandals! Comfortable and good support for my high arches. Go to the brick store and find your size and then order from Zappos. They are terrific! No hassles, best price around, free shipping, no tax, and instant delivery. I am a believer. (Mephisto shoes are actually good for your feet, even better than Clarks).

I LOVE these sandals. They are practically the only shoes I wear anymore, When I starting wearing them my low back pain went away and I can walk for hours in them. They are incredibly comfortable right out of the box. The black and brown leather ones I've purchased needed zero break in period. The fancier ones (red and orange) needed a little time to get the edges not to chafe. Just don't get them wet, they wear out much faster if you do. Great footwear! And the by the way, Zappos service is superb. Fast delivery, returns are easy and hassle free. I love Zappos almost as much as I love Mephistos. I'm a fan, I'm a fan, I'm a fan!

I still have my first pair of these sandals from fifteen years ago. They are still decent looking and wearable, but I decided a new pair was needed. I wear a size 7 1/2 US. The size 38 European fits perfectly. They are oh so comfortable and I highly recommend them.

I love these sandals! I\'ve tried many other styles, including various Birkenstocks, and none of those have quite worked for the shape of my foot. These, on the other hand, offer great support and look cute enough on to inspire questions from strangers on the street. I purchased my first pair last year and wore them into the ground; alas, over time (I wore them constantly for a little over a year) the sole packs down a bit and you start to slide around a bit. After the initial breaking in period, this new pair has proven just as terrific. I walk everywhere in them, and my feet feel great.

I was leaving for Spain the next day and I realized I needed a good pair of shoes for walking. I chatted online with a sales rep at 2:00 pm and my shoes were here the next morning at 9:00 am! I have talked to my friends and family and they all have the same story; we will buy shoes at Zappos from now on. Oh, and the shoes are wonderful.

My first pair and I love them! \r\nI been a loyal Dansko girl for over 12 years now. The professionals are my go-to most of the year, but NOT in the summer! Desperate for something cooler but supportive on my feet, I tried on every other kind of sandal I could find. Nothing felt good till finally someone recommended Mephisto Helen\'s explaining that if I like the fit of the Dansko Professional, then this sandal will feel good to me. I couldn\'t fathom how they could compare, but she was right! The arch is high and pronounced making sure your feet don\'t slide around and hit it int he wrong place. Once you get used to the lack of the rocker bottom, these feel amazing. Just like Dansko\'s I can wear them all day from the moment I put them on. My feet stay cool and my back, knees and feet don\'t ache. yay! thank you Mephisto! I alternate these out with my Earth Cabo San Lucas more casual sandals and couldn\'t be happier!

I love these sandals. The purchase of the last brown sandals was a replacement for a five year old pair that have literally been all over the world. They have such good arch supports that it's comfortable to wear them while touring rocky sites in Egypt to wandering around Irish countryside to daily wear at home in Southern California. Actually, there are 10 or 11 other pair of Helen's in my closet, different colors, which are worn a little less than the basic brown. Unless I'm going to an ultra formal affair, I simply wear black ones under a long skirt or pants and I'm comfortable. I do have a few of Mephisto's other styles for dressier events, speed walking, etc., but the Helen's are a wardrobe staple. No breaking in, no areas that rub and irritate; just wear them and go. Enjoy!

I am returning the white sandles because the tan ones I purchased are absolutely the worst shoes I have ever had. They don't come up between my toes as they should and rubbed a bleeding sore on my second toe. Even though I have worn them now for a month, they still rub my toe red. I really hate them. The Mephisto shoes I have had in the past were the best, but these are just so awful and won't stay on my feet as well as my old ones. I will NOT be purchasing any more Mephisto shoes.

My foot started hurting and I could not find a pair of shoes that could help, until I found these. I like cute shoes and for what these shoes are they are pretty nice looking. I got the bronze color which is really nice color. These shoes are very comfortable. I bought a 1/2 size up which I would not do again as they stretched just a bit. My Mom loved the look of them and tried them on and I had to order her a pair from Zappos (her first order) and she could not believe how quickly they arrived. Overall, I could walk all day at Disneyland in these and my foot would not hurt.

Amazing! I am a tried and true Birkenstock lover. Trying the Mephisto was a gamble, but I wanted a little bit different look, and with Zappos' great shipping I couldn't resist! Glad I did, these shoes are amazing. Comfortable and stylish!
