I wore this shoe into the ground. This shoe is well worth the money. I never had such a comfortable fit. I have wide feet and a small heel but this sandal fit my feet perfectly. They were dressy enough for dresses but casual enough for pant suits. I could walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in them, and I have! -Never any rubbing or pinching. At the time, I was having foot problems and couldn't wear regular sandals. I was so very grateful for these shoes. I wore mine out and purchased another pair. I prefer the nubuck to the leather.

French version - I bought the French version about 6 weeks ago on a visit to Montpellier. I've already more than gotten my money's worth; wore them sightseeing, on field trips with my archaeology class. The French version has a Velcro strap instead of the buckle, which I much prefer as I have a very narrow heel. I bought size 37, even though I usually wear a 38 (metric sizes) in a closed shoe.

Altima, A Fabulous Shoe - I have a problem with pain in the balls of my feet. In spite of that problem, the altima has been a fabulous, comfortable shoe. I can go for long walks, 6 (miles), wear to work, or just around the house. The style is pretty enough that I can wear them almost anywhere, which is sadly missing in any other sandals I have seen. I love this shoe. Thank you for this shoe! Please design other pretty sandals that are comfortable and good for the feet.

The Ultimate Sandal - Mephisto's Altina - If I had to describe the perfect sandal, I would describe the black nubuck Mephisto Altina. Most importantly, from my viewpoint, it is incredibly comfortable. The footbed give excellent support to the arch forefoot, the ankle and heel straps stabilize the foot, and the soft nubuck is velvety and luxurious. But not only it is comfortable, it is extremely attractive on the foot. You can wear it with a business suit, or with jeans. The look is terrific. The drawback to this shoe is the high price, which puts it out of the reach of most people. But if you can afford it, it is one pair of shoes that you will never regret purchasing. Perfect!

This is my favorite shoe that I have ever owned. This was my first and only pair of Mephisto shoes and I recommend them for women with touchy, hard to fit feet. I wear mine often, they are about three years old, and still in terrific shape. They work well with suits, dresses, slacks, jeans, shorts, capris, and just about anything except your wedding or formal wear! They actually help energize me and I do need a second pair! I love these sandals!

Combination of comfort and style. A sandal that combines comfort and style that can be worn daytime for walking and sight-seeing. At night it can be worn dressy. Incomparable comfort.

This is a good looking sandal, although appears to be overpriced in comparison to other brands. My Propet Breeze Walkers are more comfortable, although a bit more casual looking, at a more economical price. The materials of the shoe don't appear much different than other lower cost brands, but I am hoping that the shoe quality and longevity will justify the cost.

Great walking shoe - After trying several pair of shoes, I discovered one that really fit my foot. Also, it looks so good I hated to wear it on the dirty streets of Europe, but went ahead and did it. It feels like an old friend.

This is a really nice sandal. I have not yet taken it out on the road, but based on in home performance, I expect it to be a comfortable shoe for cool, long term walking. It is a snug fit, but not uncomfortable. It is expensive, but the pair of Mephistos my husband bought five years ago, look better than they did at the start.
