Extremely fine shoes which ran one full size too large. Thanks to Zappos, I returned them and ordered one full size smaller. Haven’t received them yet, but I’m extremely hopeful that these will fit beautifully. Can’t wait to wear them!

Comfortable Dress Shoes -
Mephistos are THE most comfortable dress shoes I have found. Great for your back. I find ordering a size below normal works.

Just bought these for my son who loves them. A classic look that is between casual and dress shoe. Worth the price and great arch support and durable sole. He usually wears a size 15 but the size 14 Mephisto fits perfectly

Absolutely first class comfortable shoes!!! Be warned though, because my experience was that they run a full size too large. Zappos was great, as usual, about exchanging for the proper size. Just got them, but I’m sure that I will live in the shoes for years to come.

Best shoes made -
I own six pairs of Mephistos and will buy more - no other shoes, Tods etc, are as comfortable. You would have to go to a bespoke shoemaker (Lobb or similar at more than twice the price) to find a comparable shoe. Plus they last forever because. Mephisto does a great job of resoling.

Mephisto Marlon -
I have owned two pairs of Marlon's for the past several years. These are by far the most comfortable dress shoe I have owned. I have a difficult time wearing other shoes. I wish Mephisto would make a dress show that was formal enough to wear with a suit.

My experiene with Marlon By Mephisto -
I have Plantar Faciitis and needed a dress shoe that would provide very good cushining and shock absorption. Marlon really delivered and I have lot less pain when I am walking. Besids, it also is very dressy and have been complimented by others. However, it is pricy due to most likly import tax.

Mephisto comfort -
For pronating feet, this Mephisto shoe has delightful comfort. It's expensive, but highly recommended as a salve to sore feet.

Great shoe: Worth the price.
This shoe is both light and comfortable. With heavy socks, an A width can wear it. It comes in black also, and I am thinking about getting that color. Great with slacks or sport coat.

I've worn these shoes for about 4 years. They're great and my feet don't like it when I wear other shoes. They're easily worth the money.

Worth every penny!
It is hard to believe how good these shoes feel. I have owned a pair of Mepipisto "Zeus" sandals for five years. I have subjected them to year round abuse in brutal environments from Mexico to Maine. Bullet proof! And super comfortable! Last month I decided to give Mephisto dress shoes a try. The Marlon is a beautiful shoe. They are as comfortable as the sandals! They require no break-in. I could not ask for more from a shoe. Once again the old addage proves true...."You get what you pay for". I wholeheartedly recommend Mephisto footware.

As someone who struggled to find a comfortable work shoe, my journey ended when I bought my first pair of Mephistos. The comfort is unmatched, even by Clarks, etc. The feeling was like walking on pillows, & these shoes last! I wouldn't consider any other shoe for the no. 1 concern of comfort, followed by style.

Mephisto Marlon -
Very fast delivery. This is my fourth pair of Mephisto shoes; previous shoes have been outstanding. As a dress shoe for suite & tie, the "tag" is a distraction from the good leather used. I requested a 9B, wore them to work today, and the shoe received: heel width is acceptable, but there is too much wiggle/slip in the front, even when laces are very tight. For this price shoe, a "B" width requested should be honored and not hedged with an N (B-C), which in this case is more likely a "C".

Nice shoe, casual but dressy enough with a business suit.

I expected Mephisto to be something special given the price, but found the shoe to have very average styling and quality. The leather feels as thin as any other shoe and the construction overall is just OK. There was nothing special about the feel or look of this shoe, so I sent it back and ordered a pair of Kenneth Cole Reaction shoes for 1/6 the price. They feel and look at least as good as the Mephistos, and by the time I break even, those 6 pairs of Kenneth Coles should last me the rest of my life.

Bought this shoe for my husband. At first it felt very comfortable, but after wearing it a few times it was not as comfortable as he thought. He had to buy some insoles to put into the shoes. Now they seem to be alright. He wears them to work and walks around the business area where his office is located. So it is some walking but not an over abundance. I have to say that for the brand and price I would have expected them to be completely comfortable. So we were a little disappointed.

Nicely made, but too wide -
The construction of this shoe is simply outstanding. However, it is way too wide - feels like you're wearing a football (American) around your feet. The narrow version of the shoe has a better fit, but my big toe butts up against the tip of shoe, so I have to go one half size bigger. Overall, just doesn't fit right. The airflow insole is an example of over-design - it makes the shoe feel slippery. It's too thick in the toe area, so it leads to ugly wrinkles. The style makes it neither a dress shoe nor a casual shoe. Bottom line, a lot of money for what's definitely a high quality shoe, but very uncomfortable to wear. Looks better than it feels.

Mephisto always run about half size large with nice fitting last. This is my 5th pair of Marlon in 10 years and just retiring the first pair after 2nd resoling wore thin. Fabulous shoes for those 20k step days.

One of the best dress shoes I have ever owned and worn, cushioned insole without the need of buying one, I’m extremely impressed with how good these will look on you and high Quality material being used.

Age 61, weight 200, fit. Walk quite a bit. This Marlon model is the world's least expensive excellent shoe, even though it sells at $400. The ratio of cost to comfortable duration is a superb value. The leather lining and the real rubber sole are key attributes. I prefer a 12.5 and this 12.0 wears like one. I am a 3rd time buyer of Mephisto Marlon in black. I have a high arch and very normal feet, no problems in my life, ever. The Marlon is the most comfortable business shoe I know. I've also bought the cordovan color (calf leather) in Europe and it was a steal at 200 Euros. Prior years I had a number of Allen Edmonds and a couple of Aldens. Ref photo 1 below, pairs from left to right are 15 years, 8 years and new. In photo 2, compare new with 15 years.
