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.

Love this shoe!
This is one of the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. The arch support is great. I was able to wear them walking for hours with no problem on the first day.

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.

The best comfort sandal on the market -
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.

Love them!
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.

Took me a while to break in but once they were broken in they are the most comfortable sandal I've ever worn. Thinking about getting another pair in a different color...

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.

I was having trouble with heel spurs and needed a sandal that would give me support and still look good. This fit the bill perfectly! I purchased these a year ago and wore them on vacation in New York. We walked miles, stood in lines and sometimes had to jog to catch a cab. These sandals did it all!!! No sore feet! I absolutely recommend these shoes to everyone. I just bought my 2nd pair in a different color leather. Worth the money? You bet!!! Zappos is the best place to order shoes (or purses) that I have found so far!

Absolute Heaven, not Helen!
When the buckle is appropriately tightened, not too loose, there is little rubbing between the toes. This is an absolute pleasure to wear 18+ hours, and requires no breaking into. Arch support is really great, I never thought there was anything better than Birkenstock, but these absorb shock way better in the heel and support the foot much better. I now own two pairs!

I love Mephisto shoes. They saved my feet when I was pregnant and out walking everyday. After my pregnancy, I purchased two pairs. The Helen model fits perfectly and comes in so many great colors! Great sandals!

The first pair I bought I wore out, it took five years but it finally happened! I wear them all the time, the best casual sandal I have ever had!
Puts Birkenstocks to shame. No comparison.

I have owned this shoe in brown leather for 7 years. I have worn it in all conditions, including when working in water and mud in the yard. It is still comfortable, but the cork is breaking down. I will order another pair before the summer ends.

Mephisto Helen -
I bought these in silver patent--a color not currently carried by Zappos. Now I want them in two or three other colors! These shoes are amazing. I bought them to go to a wedding--they are dressy but also bohemian (sorta like wedding Birkenstocks) and so very comfortable. I have heel spurs and the arch support is superb. The strap across the inset helps adjust for width. The foot bed is soft, cushy, and molds to your feet. Yummy shoes!

Comfortable but too narrow -
I've worn the Hannel style in the Mephisto cork sandal for many years. I wanted to Helen to mix it up a bit. The Helen does seem narrower. I wear an 8 1/2 M and in Hannel wear the size 39. I ordered the 39 Helen but have decided to return it. I may try the 40, although the length is fine on the 39. Mephisto cork sandals are extremely comfortable. They have additional cushioning that you just don't get with Birkenstock. Love, love, love.

Order a size up!
I wear a size 8.5 and needed the size 40! Once I figured out the sizing, I was very pleased with this shoe. It does run on the narrow side, if my feet were any wider it would not work, but they fit. I typically wear sneakers with a very chunky orthotic; this is a nice and comfortable sandal vacation for my feet.

LOVE THEM!
I have been walking around with Plantar Fasciitis for 11 months now; in addition I have a very high arch, am a runner and have a slim foot. Nothing in the shoe world feels good, except these. I will slowly add more to my wardrobe, I absolutely love them. A great shoe AND they are very cute. I hope they will always be available. :-) My feet don’t hurt anymore-yippee!

Mephisto Helen -
The best comfort shoe. Great arch support which was very important to me. I have tried Birkenstock and Ecco -no arch at all. Also this shoe fits a narrow foot quite nicely, unlike Birkenstock which is wide. I am switching all of my shoes to Mephisto because of the great arch support.
