I really enjoy the Mephisto Rush; I have very bad foot problems. Since I have worn the Rush I do not limp or my feet do not hurt as much. The sole of the shoe is exactly what the doctor ordered. What a pleasure it is not to limp when I walk now. The shoe is not only supportive but is very comfortable. Thank You Zappos for carrying such great products. Mephistos are a well made product.

Comfort worth the price - The last pair of Mephisto Rush shoes I had lasted 14 yrs with 1 resoling. Despite their looks (ugly to me) & price (on sale), they were so much more comfortable than any other shoe, I had to buy them again. I also bought a pair of Niros for work. After being on my feet all day as a nurse, the Niros beat any sneaker or shoe I'd ever worn. Pricier, yes but, if they last more than a year, they'll be less expensive than the 3 pairs of sneakers I would have gone through and still be more comfortable. To top everything off, I received my order within 3 days & got exactly what I ordered. Zappos promptly emailed me an order confirmation and shipping notice. Overall, a very pleasant experience well worth repeating.

This was my first pair of Mephisto Rush shoes after hearing and reading many positive reviews regarding the Mephisto line of shoes. I purchased my Mephisto Rush shoes mainly for comfort, support and walking. After wearing them for about a month, I think all of these criteria were met and the styling is rather smart for a walking shoe. I also like that the inserts are removable for cleaning. I ended up purchasing two pairs - 1 in black and 1 in the grey color. I would highly recommend the Mephisto Rush if you are looking for a good pair of walking shoes.

Other shoes recommended by reviewer: I think Mephisto's are unique. However, I also wear Cole Haan/Nike Air shoes for more dressy occasions.

walking a la francaise - These shoes are very comfortable for both walking and standing. If you have feet that are on the narrow side, the lacing system is a plus, because the eyelets are placed wide apart, allowing for adjustments. They are better than wearing synthetic leather athletic shoes, because the high quality leather breathes.

Dependable shoe - I’ve been wearing Mephisto Rush shoes for years. Because I have a chronic back problem, they are one of the few shoes I can depend on for excellent arch support.

Best Walking Shoes Ever! The Mephisto Rush is the best walking shoe I have found yet. My first pair has lasted me 6 years and I decided it was time for a fresh new pair. They have superior lateral support and exceptional overall support - better than any tennis shoes I've found. They may not be the most fashionable looking but fit and support far outweigh the look!

I work in retail and I am on my feet all day. According to my pedometer I put in an average of 6 miles a day on a tile floor. I am overweight and suffer from chronic foot and knee issues. These are the only shoes I wear! I own every brand of comfort shoes on the market, and none compare. My only wish is that the Nubuck version came in more colors.

These sit in my closet. I bought these last year expecting tremendous comfort, but every time I have worn them, even with thick socks, blister-resistant socks, moleskin, you name it, they have rubbed the skin on my heels RAW every time, making it painful to walk in any shoe for several days afterwards. Ironic because I bought them thinking they'd be comfortable. The sole itself would be - has a nice springy feel. They need to improve the design on the back, though. For the money, they should not give me blisters and tear my skin.

Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Born and Naot are more comfortable

How to ruin a formerly perfect shoe - Mephisto Rush used to be the most comfortable, quality shoe I'd ever worn. These gave me blisters, despite trying to break in the shoe by wearing them inside the house. As soon as I tried the shoe on, I could tell these were made very differently than other Rush shoes I'd bought. The inside seams are now easily felt, as soon as I put the shoe on, and begin to hurt the feet as one walks less than one mile. The arch or instep has abrasive indentations which actually caused a huge blister on both my feet!

Bought Several Pairs - Fabulous shoe. On feet in large bldg walking seven to ten miles a day. Have very bad feet w/ many problems. Only way I can continue working is with this shoe. I spray shoe stretch on bunion areas for the first few days of a new pair to soften sides for tender areas of foot. Is fine after that. Have bought 4 pairs in the last 5 years. Time for a new pair. Wear Rx orthotics inside w/ soft innersole. Greatest shoe in the world for me. I think they run narrow which is great for me since have narrow foot anyway. Thanks Mephisto.

Life Savers! I bought a pair of the Mephistos Rush and put them on and within three days they were life savers. I had been buying a pair of New Balance tennis shoes every two months and they would not hold up to a concrete floor in a Home Improvement Center. My feet were killing me daily and I could barely walk when I would get up in the mornings. After a week, my feet were 100% better and I have had my shoes for over two years and never regretted buying them. My sister even bought her a pair of the same kind. I will never be without a pair again.

Must be me - I guess I am just difficult. I read the reviews before I ordered this shoe and was so disappointed when it came. I just hated it. I think it runs short and it is such hard leather and so heavy. It will take years to break it in. Plus, I thought it looked like my grandmother's shoes. Zappos is great though.

Mephisto Myths are TRUE - For years I heard people rave about Mephisto’s, and finally bought a pair. I now have five pairs, and love them all. Three are the Rush in black, brown, dark gray/green, and two are sandals. They all fit me as well as any shoes I own. They are sturdy and comfortable. I love them.

A Frequent Mephisto Customer - I have owned other Mephisto Rush and this pair fits differently...it is a good fit, but it has taken some breaking in time. In the past I have put on the shoe and never gave it another thought. This pair is snugger and does not seem as generous. The lacing is different and the overall width of the shoe is not as generous. The shoe has definitely changed...still good but not as wonderful as the previous three pair I have owned.

Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Only Mephisto, I love this shoe.

Not as comfortable as New Balance Tennis Shoe - Beautiful brown leather. Attractive, not bulky. Very narrow shoe with narrow tapered toe (which I like). Area of discomfort for me is the front of the arch support portion of the insole which rubbed a blister on the bottom of my left foot at the front of my arch. (Felt like a high ridge that shouldn't be there. This ridge did not make itself felt, of course, until I'd walked several blocks outside my house.) I have never had a blister on the bottom of my foot from any shoe. Replaced the arch support with a Dr. Scholl's gel insole, which added 20 dollars to the cost of this shoe. Warning! Very stiff sole that needs lots of breaking in before going on any trip that requires a lot of walking. I rated arch support "excellent" because there wasn't a selection for "very high arch support, inflexible and uncomfortable."

This is without a doubt the best walking shoe I've ever owned. After 3 years of heavy use, it is as supportive as ever. There is a break-in period, but after that the shoe confirms beautifully to the foot. I also own Taryn Rose, but this shoe is in a league by itself.

Four blisters on my heels. My report after the first wearing: this shoe DOES require a break-in period. Although I like the bouncy sole and arch support, and I like that the brown leather looks nicer than your average sneaker, however; the heels rubbed me like crazy and my socks could not save me. I choose to be optimistic and believe that these will become more comfortable with more wearings. They were very expensive.

Happy feet! These are my second pair of Mephisto shoes. My old ones (resoled twice) have been in many countries, making my walking easy. Now they are a little shabby so, I ordered a new pair from Zappos and am very satisfied and sure they will last as long as I do! MMB

Great walking shoes! I ordered my first pair of Rush in my normal size and they feel a full size larger than marked, especially in the heel area, so I have to wear them with extra thick socks to feel comfortable. In addition, with the expert advice of Zappos' team, I decided to order a second pair 1/2 size smaller in a different color. These feel very comfortable and I can wear them with thin socks.

Errand Day Shoe - When you have about 100 errands to run in a day...this is the shoe to wear. Probably not the most stylish pair in your wardrobe...but it will be the most comfortable. The only major problem I have now is that it is hard to justify a Starbucks stop to rest my tired feet. Seriously, these shoes are very comfortable for long days on your feet.

Mephisto's the best! Excellent shoes again, thanks! Bought Rush last Christmas, my 2nd pair of Mephisto’s & worth every penny again. Daily wear, heavy usage, doctor recommended, outstanding comfort - honestly if you're reading this & not sure, you must try Mephisto. With Zappos excellent service, it's the perfect combination. Mephisto: please make model avail again: black nubuck women's wing-tip oxford from 10 yrs ago - a fancier Rush. Wore them almost daily for 7 yrs, 2 new soles. You are heaven for feet!
