Great shirt - Extremely comfortable shirt... I have two (one dark and one light in color)... I like how the fabric feels and it is also pretty forgiving with wrinkles, another big plus... I have really liked the quality and feel of all the Royal Robbins shirts I have bought.

This shirt goes well with slacks or Levis or khakis. It is an excellent fit and is up to the standards of my Tommy Bahama shirts but is nicely conservative for evenings out and just as is at home or at a Dodger game.

I can't rave about this shirt enough. So incredibly comfortable and soft, yet structured enough look good on any physique, even if you're a little out of shape like me. I loved my first one so much, I bought two more in other colors!

Great shirt and great price. I bought both available colors and I am wearing one of them right now. I wish this company had a few more selections and colors so I could buy a few more.

I ordered this shirt after reading the all of the reviews. I like wearing shirts that can be left untucked when possible, but don\'t like to look slobby. This shirt definately is what the description said. It is loose fitting and has a nice straight hem so looks right untucked. I\'ve washed it and it came right back to shape with no ironing! I typically try to by my nicer shirts from Tommy Bahama or Polo, however, I\'ll be ordering more of these shirts, especially at that price!

I purchased this shirt and 3 others in various colors offered by Zappos based on description and previous experience from order(s) of shoes. My first time purchasing an article of clothing; I wasn't disappointed. Service, delivery, packaging, fit, and overall satisfaction are 5 Stars as has been my history with Zappos. A 2X in size - clothing in fit and style can be a challenge. If you're looking for a "cut above" nice wearing shirt you will not be disappointed. Criticisms - pet peeves really; colors pictured are slightly off (shadowing from photograph) and extra care in cleaning may be necessary. Dry cleaning is recommended.

Bought for my husband as a gift and he really likes it. The shirt is well constructed and high quality, thick material. All in all a good shirt. The only thing is that I thought it was solid brown from the picture and it's actually a pattern, with little dark checks.

The best sandals ever! These are the best sandals I have ever owned. The year I bought them I wore them every day from mid-May through Mid-November. Usually I take my shoes off the minute I get home, but I would find myself wearing my Mephistos 'til I went to bed. They are stylish and comfortable. What more could you want?

don't end up at the foot dr! Stay away from this sandal if you have a narrow foot.! They're great looking but a real problem for someone with a less than wide foot. I wore this sandal almost daily last summer and I ended up with some serious foot problems. I acutally visited a podiatrist for the first time in my life! I suggest the Elka for someone with a less than narrow foot. Not as stylish but definately comfortable.

My favorite sandals! I have bought a pair of these every spring for the last several years. From the first day I wore them, I found them the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned.

BB's review. Most comfortable, versitile, best looking, softest suede, best fitting sandals I've ever wore.

Reviewer: Cathie from South Florida

Cathie - I have very long toes and thought that the ridge would pose a problem. Not so. The only problem I have with the Helen is that the buckle and subsequent strap has brused the top of my right foot. There does not seem to be enough "give" in the sole to prevent this. Other than that, the arch support is phenominal, which is the main reason I bought a Mephisto shoe. I give you 5 stars for arch support. Love the style - it's casual and also somewhat dressy.

Better than Berks - I own about 8 pairs of Berks and now 3 pairs of Mephisto's. I doubt I'll ever go back to Berks. This shoe -"Helen" is great, comfortable, and I love the arch support.

Sleek, stylish comfort -better than Birkis! I *adore* these sandals. I bought my pair almost four years ago when I was looking for a sandal that would be comfortable enough for all the walking I do, but designed with a bit more flair than the stereotypical clunky, strappy Birkenstocks. The black patent Helens were calling to me...and I haven't regretted the purchase. Super-comfortable, great arch support, and the style and color dress up and down, looking just as great with shorts and t-shirts as they do with floaty summer dresses. I'm still happily wearing them years later, and the uppers still look great and the soles are in surprisingly good shape for all the walking they've done. Even a teething pit bull puppy chewing through one of the straps couldn't keep them down -- the nice folks at the shoe repair shop stitched the chewed ends back together, almost as good as new. These aren't cheap, but with a little care, you'll be able to get years of comfortable, good-looking service out of them...just don't leave them out around teething pups! ;)

The best - This is the best sandal I've ever owned. It has a footbed that is second to none. The best part, is that it's great for falling arches, but it looks stylish. Lots of colors, too!

Don't Leave Home without These shoes! I purchased my first pair of Helen in 97 and just bought another pair. They are the best sandals. I also own a pair of Birks and hardly wear them now, these are much better and much more comfortable. When I want a comfortable pair of shoes, these are the ones I pack, these shoes have been with me in South America, Europe, Asia and back home again, as I said "Never leave home without them!"
