Wonderful -
These are the best sandals I have ever owned, they are great for walking and fun to wear. They look very smart with just about any summer outfit and I should know... I'm 74 years young...my young sister told me about these and I'm so glad she did...thanks for such a wonderful product.

Very nice shoes -
Very comfortable shoe. I bought them to wear on a trip. I wear a size 6 and bought the 37. It’s a tad too long but still comfortable. But I should have sent them back for the 36. Other than that I love them.

Repeat purchase – now on 3rd pair! I saw my first pair in France (where they're made) and searched for them. I wore my first pair for 3 summers, my second pair for 2. I've just bought my 3rd pair. SO comfortable; the support they provide (I have fairly high arches) is almost as good as my orthotics and certainly miles ahead of any other sandal I own. Highly recommended.

I love them, love them, love them! I need lots of support and these great sandals give it and look good, too. I dress them up with a nice outfit and wear them with shorts. They are the best sandal I have!

I purchased these sandals to replace my old Birkenstocks which look worn and sloppy. The Mephistos are great looking and much trimmer, fitting my narrow foot much nicer. The only problem I have is that after walking for any length of time, the tops of my feet become sore and bruised from the straps. They leave no blisters though and the bed of the shoe provides wonderful support and cushioning. I hope that continued wear will work out this problem.

Worth every penny -
I love Zappos! I have several pairs of the Helen sandal and it is the most comfortable sandal or shoe I've ever had. I usually have 3-4 pairs at any one time and switch off. I also get tons of compliments on the look. Wonderful support. I've had trouble with plantar fasciitis and have very high arches and these are incredible. I wear them constantly. I am a 9-9.5 and by a size 39. I like the Nubuck, but if you buy a light color, spray it or be prepared for stains. You do have to avoid getting these wet. They can be re-soled by sending them back to Mephisto, but it’s expensive, and they replace everything but the leather uppers. I always just buy a new pair...

Uber-comfortable -
Really enjoying these sandals. I normally like a sleeker looking, stylish, flat sandal or shoe (love the brands Delman, Coclico, Cole Haan), but with heel pain and a little bunion developing in my 40 year old feet, I thought it wise to start taking care of them. Looked at Birkenstocks also, but too wide for my smallish feet. The narrower profile of the Helen fits the bill pretty well and doesn't look so clunky. I did order one size up as suggested.

Excellent Shoe!
I have plantar fasciitis and usually wear orthotics. However, this shoe has such a good arch support that I prefer them to my orthotics. I am a teacher and am on my feet all day! I even put them on first thing in the morning and wear them around the house like slippers.

Mephisto Helen -
This is my third pair of Helen. Just a couple of points for perhaps (unscientific opinion) the most comfortable shoe in the history of shoes (dating backing perhaps 13,000 or so!) Instant pure comfort even on a "Lifestepper" which I use about 80 minutes a day. Got my pair in about 24 hours from my order. I have narrow feet and that might be part of the reason I enjoy these shoes so much. They are an EXACT fit in length and width.
Careful when you first put them on as they come with a "tag" that must be cut before you wear them outside the house.

Have enjoyed wearing Mephisto sandals - My knees tend to get irritated at times. This shoe really helps me keep the knees happy. I must have 8 to 10 pairs of this shoe in many colors. I even wear the old ones when I do yard work. They feel great on my foot.

I was given a pair by a dear friend. I have had this sandal for 6 years and now, I am sadly retiring after many miles together. This is by far and away the best sandal for arch support, style, overall fit and comfort. I love this shoe, what a pleasure to walk in and I love the overall integrity of this shoe. I will be looking for another pair, but I am finding it difficult to limit my self to one color, thank you.

I love these sandals. They are incredibly comfortable, and provide good support for such an open style. I wear them everywhere, including as bedroom slippers. Mephistos rock.

I bought these a week before went on vacation. Most comfortable sandal I've ever worn. I have a wide foot and this works well without regard for width. This is my second pair in 3 years. Worth every penny I paid.

I had one pair of these sandals in brown and wear them daily since I live in Florida. Because they were so comfortable, I got a pair in pink and black. They are the shoes I live in. I have problems with my arches and plantar fasciitis, but not when I wear these shoes. Can't go wrong with these.

Mephisto Helen -
This is pair #2 of Helen's...the last ones finally gave out after 7 years of hard wearing. They are immediately comfy, no blister from the toe strap. Out of the box and into your life - couldn't be happier.

First thong sandal that doesn't hurt my toes!
I bought the Helen in black, distressed brown and sand/taupe. I really love these sandals. The thong actually splits around the big toe; this is so much more comfortable to me than a regular thong sandal.
I really love Mephisto--their walking shoes are the best. These sandals are also really comfortable for walking. If I would fix one thing, it would be to make them available in different widths. My feet just fit this width; the Helen actually feels just a little narrower than other shoes that I own.

These sandals are comfortable right out of the box. I have worn the Helen for several years, and can walk miles in them. Good arch support and they look very stylish. Thanks, Zappos, for the great service, too!

Best sandal ever!
This is my fourth pair of these in the last 8 years! I love the patent leather and they are the most comfortable, yet stylish sandals I have ever owned. Mephisto will rebuild the footbed, but I love having the old pairs as back up or near every door.

Finally, good support!
Because I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot, I have been looking for a sandal with good arch support. Finally, I think I have found it. I can wear these almost all day. The only drawback for me (and the reason I did not give this shoe 5 stars) is that the strap across my foot is too tight, but too loose when I go to the next hole. I am hoping the leather will stretch.
