    I already own two pairs of Mephisto thong sandals somewhat like these. They are the best looking and most comfortable sandals I have found. What I like is that they are very elegant, feminine sandals and not like the all-terrain ones in the marketplace. They fit like a glove, so when I saw this new, dressier version I had to have them. They are pricey, but well worth the cost. They look great with jeans, shorts and skirts. You can see that these are made extremely well and will last for years. I would like to see them made in pastel colors for the summer.

    Violette hurts one foot - I own 30 pairs of Mephisto and have never had a problem with fit. The Violette fits my right foot, but the thong is so thick on the left that it cut my foot. I think the Helen is more comfortable, but the Violette is prettier.

    These are more comfortable that Birkenstocks! I was looking for a comfort sandal with some style and I am not disappointed. A note about Mephisto sizing. I wear a size European 42, which is typically converted to a US size 11, but Mephisto says a 42 is a size 12. They were right. The 12 fit perfectly. So, pay attention to their size conversion chart.

    Wish they still came in white! I usually wear a size 40 (US 9) but Mephisto's conversion of 40 = US 10 was accurate. Mephisto no longer makes this style in white so I am out of luck (unless I keep my unworn size 40 which are sort of big). But I do like the look and they seem comfortable.

    MEPHISTO VIOLETTE VS. OTHER MEPHISTOS - I own numerous Mephistos and thought that ordering my usual size would be a no-brainer, but it was REALLY wide feeling at the straps, sorta sloppy. The shoe is SO nice looking that I will make do with a size smaller - a bit short, but the straps fit. Have to own it!

    Brands I'd also recommend: Arche, Naot, and more Mephistos

    Feminine and Floral - What a feminine look for Mephisto! This is great because the fit and comfort accompany this great look. This sandal would be great in bright colors such as hot pink, kiwi, orange, yellow, and drk purple. This is now my favorite style which I hope to see in more colors real soon.

    Violette - Very cute shoe, but not as well-designed as other Mephisto shoes I own (Helen, especially). Straps were not comfortable, as shoe moves like a flip-flop when walking. I returned this shoe.

    Not Good For High Arches - I love the flower ornamentation on this shoe! But sadly, this shoe did not fit me at all well. The width of the shoe was fine. I have wide feet and the width was still comfortable. But the thong strap itself did not accommodate my high arched feet. It cut into the tops of my feet and I couldn't wear them for even two minutes. I suppose they could be stretched by a shoe repairman, but considering the price of this shoe I didn't think it was worth it. I LIVE in thongs and sandals and have never had this problem with any other shoe.

    I brought this shoe along just to wear to the pool on a recent cruise. My other "walking sandals" gave me a blister on the side of my foot. I ended up wearing these because they did not touch the blistered area. What a great shoe! They didn't flip-flop. They stayed with my foot throug 4 more ports and many miles. These will be great as house shoes in the summer or for standing all day. Zappos is a great way to buy shoes for those of us with hard to find sizes,

    Mephisto Violette - I bougth this shoes in white last summer and absolutely loved them. They are about $40 cheaper now than when I bought them last summer, so I just could not resist and bougth them in black and green as well. It is true that if you have high arches the straps may rub a little (as they did for me), but in a couple of days they fit like a glove. If you want a cute, but very comfortable shoe (with great support), get these.

    Had to return these sandals... The arch was way too high for me, an archless one, and my toes hung over the edges when I walked. The length was ok, but there was something wrong with the placement of the toe divider.
