Mephisto Sam SKU: #7222420

Felt great straight out of the box. No break-in time required. I concur with other reviewers that the sandal is one size larger than my normal size. This sandal is well crafted; there are no unfinished edges or seams which can chafe when worn without socks.

Walking Confortable - I own two pair of Sams. On burshed leather and one black leather. Excellent confort and shock disapation. It is interesting to note, that I ordered both pair in my regular size 11. They fit well out of the box and required no break-in. Thanks for a excellent sandal that can be worn casual or dress.

Lee's favorite - My husband, Lee, has been wearing his one pair of black sandals for years now. I only bought him new ones because he mentioned he would like a pair of brown ones. While his black sandals are old they still have much wear left. He has a very difficult time finding shoes to fit his foot comfortably. This has been his best shoe.

Great Shoes for the warmer season - I love my Mephisto Sam. It really feels as well as my other Mephisto Shoes. Mephisto Sam is much nicer than my old Mephiosto Sandals I own. The feet are protected because of the extra leather. The heels feel sturdy. They are great without socks in the park for a longer walk. Since I am 72 I hate to expose my naked feet and toes. I like the comfort of the cooler feet without the embarrassment. Sams are great walking sandals!!! Arnold Rom

Absolutely fantastic! I have wanted a pair of these for years, but ringed at the cost. I took the plunge and was greatly rewarded! These are some of the best sandals I have ever worn. They are beautiful and super comfortable, especially without socks. The width is perfect; roomier than most fisherman sandals. You can wear these for hours and forget you're wearing anything! They would be perfect for those places where sandals are not allowed. Put on a pair of matching socks, and you'd never know! I plan on getting a pair in brown as well. If you wear a 44 (11US) in Birkenstock, a 12US in Chaco, or an 11US in Teva, you will need a 45 (12US) in these.

"Investment" decision is a good one - Before buying these shoes, I read every single review (there were a LOT...99% positive). We can be added to that list. Big investment but well worth it. I didn't tell my husband the price, but he said it didn't matter. He really LOVES them. Zappo's was GREAT, as I needed them ASAP, and they were on our porch the next day!

Odor - This shoe is great, except after couple of months of wear the sole of the shoe has a strong unpleasant odor. Never had a problem like that before.

Best shoe I have ever worn, and I am 58 - I already have one pair of these. I have worn them through trips to France and Italy, walk about 2 miles everyday and bicycle in them, have used them from late spring through early autumn. Good with or without sox. Feet stay dry, the sole provides fantastic support and a perfect stride. They look great with slacks, shorts or jeans.

Mephisto's Sam - My husband is in love with these sandals! They took no time to break in - were comfy from the moment he put them on.

Mephisto Sam Sandals - I bought a pair of these in 1997. I am on my fifth pair of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn (and they are indeed sandals). I wear them almost exclusively year-round until the snow is too deep.

Great Sandal - Mephisto makes great shoes. So last year when I bought the Mephisto Sam (Tan) sandal I couldn't wait to purchase a Black pair.

Best sandals ever!! I am 70 and travel a lot. A comfortable pair of sandals is an essential. The Sam is it. They are turning out to be the most comfortable shoes I own. I wear them everywhere. VIVA MEPHISTO

I needed a sandal that provided good support while looking more refined than many others. I find this sandal provides excellent support, has a good sized toe box, is comfortable without socks (no chafing), and has sufficient sizing control with a buckle so can wear with and without socks comfortably. I feel it has a neutral stance, but seems somewhat longer than other makers, which I have found with all Mephistos. It looks good with both shorts and dressier pants, so is quite versatile.
