Love these jeans. I bought my first pair while visiting a friend in New Jersey. I loved the fit so much that I found I was wearing them everyday. I found a second pair on Zapppos and with the free shipping, couldn't be happier. I LOVE ZAPPOS!

After trying many pairs of slim jeans and never coming close to buying even one (I am athletic & 5'4" and they all made my legs look short and wide), I decided to try these on a whim based on the very strong reviews they've received. So glad I did, because it's true: these jeans are different somehow and so flattering! So for anyone who wants a slim jean but hasn't found a flattering pair yet, give these a try!

These jeans are made of fabulous denim and have a great fit. I did not realize they were not jet black, but actually have a very fine stripe so if you are only looking for black, keep this in mind. The denim has a great texture and slimming feel.

These are awesome jeans; super comfy. I ordered them in 3 different 'denims'. The lengths were all different and one pair was a little bigger than the others, but I had expected to have them altered a bit anyway. As always, Zappos is amazing!!!

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.

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.

Simply the best sandal ever! I have worn the 'Helen' for years. Comfortable, durable and beautifully styled.

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!"
