I love my Hannels. Mine are several years old now, the tan-beige color have worn beautifully. The arches have molded to my feet like Birkenstocks. Mine were made in France (no known slave labor -- yay!); I wish Zappos would tell country of manufacture! Hannels are dressier than Birks, and higher. The only oddity is that they look like Cyclops when viewed from the top. I can wear these walking all day and be wonderfully comfy, even in hot, humid summer weather. And the tan suede has held up, even staying clean through a great deal of wear.

These sandals saved my feet while traveling in Italy this summer. My feet suffer from plantar fasciitis, so I was worried about how I would be able to handle walking all day without using my orthotics (which fit into closed shoes only, not an option for summer). I tried Birkenstocks in person and found that they do not work for plantar fasciitis because the heel is too low. I heard that the Mephistos with the "H" names have arch support suitable for those with plantar fasciitis. (Hannel, Henny, Hannah, Heidi, etc.) When these arrived, I compared them to my orthotics. The sandals provide a similar height of support in the same places that my orthotics do. Happily, I found that I could walk most of the day, with rest stops & icing, thanks to these sandals. When I returned home, my feet were none the worse for all of that walking. Another reviewer mentioned that the straps do stretch a bit with break-in, which happened with these also. I now fasten them one notch tighter. Zappos gets kudos for carrying them in small sizes and shipping them quickly!

This is a very comfortable sandal. I have a bunion so have to be careful but could walk in this all day without a problem. Just needed to tweak the straps a bit by tightening them to next hole.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I really don't want to wear any other shoes at all. I have worn Birkenstock shoes for many years, and I intended to purchase another pair as mine are worn out, but took a chance on these instead. They are much more comfortable than Birkenstocks and look better too. They seem to be very well made, and I'm guessing they will last a good long time. I was just considering buying another pair, just in case something terrible happens and they stop making these.

At last, a sandal that is both supportive and pretty. My feet are saying ahh as I wear them. Some break-in time needed, so I am wearing the straps buckled loosely until the stiff newness has eased.

I have spent much time on line lately, to seek the best footwear to help ease my knee osteoarthritis problem. In choosing this Bacco Bucci Cody, from the first time I put them on it was obvious that this was the right choice. A good fit, with the sole being very flexible, yet sturdy and solid, with the whole product very well made. A small width adjustment, if needed is available, and when I reset the "buckle" to the third notch, it conformed to my foot very well. I hope this "Cody" continues to be available, as I would not hesitate to purchase another as time goes by.
