The most comfortable sandals you'll ever buy. I have wide feet and a very high instep and after having foot surgery this is the only sandal I can wear. Great arch support. Lots of great color options. After a while they loosen up but that's no problem because you can just adjust the strap! I've worn Mephistos for years; however, since my surgery I've had to switch from the Ularia to the Helen. Mephisto sandals are the best and last forever. It's just a matter of finding the right one for you!

I have worn Mephisto Helen for more than 12 years and have always loved them... until the last purchase I made. My feet stink every time after wearing them and they have literally disintegrated (both pairs, purchased at the same time) within 6 months. Extremely disappointing given that they have been my all-time favorite for years, but I won't order them again.

Oh my God - most comfortable shoe ever! I have plantar fasciitis and need really good arch support. I wear Dansko's exclusively just for that reason, but couldn't find a cute thong, weekend, type sandal. I read other reviews and got this sandal, and it was heaven from the 1st time I put it on! It did rub between the toes on just my right foot at first, but not enough to stop wearing it. I use this cute blue sandal for weekends, around the house, in the garden, with capris, shorts, skirts. My heels never hurt anymore. I can not stress how comfortable these shoes are, and they are cute! I wear a 39 in Dansko and the 39 here fit, I did have to tighten the strap a bit and am glad that it is adjustable.

I'd also recommend: Dansko

I selected these shoes during a search for summer sandals that I can walk in and I'm happy to say I like them so much that they've become fall sandals that I can walk in! I wear prescription orthotics (to correct overpronation) in regular shoes and have to go without them in sandals. These sandals have enough arch support and hold on my feet, thanks to the adjustable strap, that I am comfortable for long days of walking. On the style side: I tried similar Birkenstocks and Tevas and I found the Mephistos to be more feminine and less chunky in appearance.

I love these sandals! However, why do my feet always stink after wearing them? I have 4 pair and change them out daily. I feel like they are good for a year and then I have to get new pairs because of the odor. It happens with my Naots as well, so it must be my foot interacting with the cork. I don't even wear them in the winter! Does anyone else have this problem? Thank you! Really appreciate any suggestions!

Love these Sandals. Size was as expected. They were comfortable right out of the box. I have plantar fascitis and they made it possible for me to wear sandals again!
