White Sneaks - Nice looking shoe although I forgot how hard it is to keep white shoes clean. VERY comfortable. Toe box is very roomy and plenty of arch support. Simple, classic shoe with stylish touches.

Awesome shoes - I purchased the bronze ones. Very comfortable. Shoe size is true. I wear a 13, purchased a 13, and it fit like it was supposed to. I was a little disconcerted about the fact they only had 1 size 13 pair left...big people like nice shoes too ya know.

These shoes are awesome! They look great with jeans, and they go along with any color shirt, especially white or black. They are very comfortable, and worth every penny. Thanks Zappos!

Size difference - These sandals are larger than marked. I take a size 7 in these, and an 8 1/2 in walking shoes.

Worn to the ground - My husband sneered at "comfort sandals" until I got him a pair of Normans for his birthday...in 1996. The minute he gets home from work, he puts them on and they're on his feet all weekend long. He actually wore out the toes, but wouldn't part with the shoes long enough to get them repaired. A terrific shoe, at a cost per wear of less than a nickel a day!

I was skeptical... I am very happy with my purchase. The shoes feel great and look great. This is my first pair of Mephisto and first time for wearing a sandal of this style...I highly recommend them.

We (both wife & I) have always worn Birkenstocks, for comfort and support. However, we were introduced to Mephisto sandals and they have extra underlayment under the insole, which makes them very comfortable.

I usually wear a men's 10-1/2 D closed shoe and a 10 in open sandals. The Euro size 44 Mephisto Norman I purchased is supposed to be a 10, but it is unusually large and it feels more like an 11-1/2 or larger. I have been wearing them barefoot, but I think I will be adding socks soon, since the leather remains a bit hard and is not softening up. The width feels more normal, although I have both straps buckled on the last holes. I did not return them for a size exchange because I started wearing them, hoping to get used to them. On the plus side, the back leg of my jeans doesn't get pulled under my heel anymore apparently due to the extra length in back of the sandal.
