Comfort&Durability
I am 69 years old and overweight. This shoe is the most comfortable shoe that I have ever worn. The shoe continued to wear even though it was past the time I usually replace a shoe.

Disappointed in the Width and Weight.
I've worn Mephisto's for many years and I will not question their quality. They're unparalleled. However, the new pair I got as replacements feel narrower; and they're much heavier than the previous version of this shoe. I'm hoping they will spread out more as I break them in. The previous pair needed no breaking in. The weight is also an issue. The previous pair are as light as air. These are heavy. I bought a half size larger on
impulse, and if I had not, these wouldn't have fit me. Keep the width issue in mind when ordering. I'm going to look elsewhere for a lighter shoe in the future.

Made in France -
I have had these shoes for 6 years and they are starting to show some wear. They are most comfortable but the newer versions are made in Portugal! I have tried them at the store but they have a different fit and feel. I wish the manufacturers would have preserved the integrity of the
Mephisto line by keeping the manufacture at
home in France. My wife and I have 10-12 pairs from France and they are the best shoes we have ever owned. They last and last. I'm not sure about the ones from Portugal. Someday I might need to buy them, but they are different.

I'll try again to find these shoes in France.
Nice shoe, but it did not feel as comfortable as I hoped.

Best casual shoe in the world -
Expensive, of course, but worth every dime. I think of the
Mephisto Match as the equivalent of a BMW or current-day Audi; luxurious, performance-oriented, a statement of who you are, fun to use. The label on the shoe is meaningful only to the connoisseur of footwear. And it feels REALLY good on your feet! Just bought my third pair after wearing out my other two over the last 10 years. Oh, yeah, did I mention that they're durable?

France vs Portugal -
I read the previous review and he is absolutely right; the shoes made in Portugal do not feel the same and if examined carefully, are not as well made, the dealers will
swear to the contrary! However, I own 7 year old French shoes that look like new and have gone through a pair of Portugal shoes in 3 months (so did my wife on the same trip). You can still get some models made in France so look inside the shoe for that small round label. I have worn Mephistos for 20 years and have
boots and shoes (about 12 pairs), so does my wife. Please do pay attention to where they are made.

My sixth
Mephisto -
Just bought my sixth
Mephisto (in 10 years), this time in Paris. Not sure if it is made in France, no small label inside the shoe to indicate this. But the ones made in France are much better than those made in Portugal.
My favourites are still the Match for casual/walking and the Marlon for
dress shoes, especially for flat-feet people like me.
There are no retailers near where I live, so have to get mine from the States.
