Mephisto

Cap Vert

Men's

These Mephisto's run large. I normally wear a 9-9.5 US and the US size 8 fits perfectly with a thin sock. I buy a new pair of these about every two years as they cannot be resoled. These are my go-to shoes for running about. They are comfortable as hell and are so much better looking than tennis shoes or trainers. I have them in Rust and they go with jeans or khakis. The inside is fully lined so you can wear them sock-less in summer and they are very comfortable when worn this way. Attached is a picture of my two year old pair with a new one...

Are you kidding me? Called Zappos at 1pm CST on Thursday and ordered these shoes. They arrived at 11am the next day. No shipping charge, no tax...just why would I deal with anyone else? My local shoe store, which is also a great store, doesn't carry the black model in this shoe. They could have ordered if for me, 7-10 days....on the way out of the store the salesperson said "why don't you try Zappos"... I did and I always will again....and these shoes are great. I own a pair in deep brown....excellent for being on my feet all day at trade shows and just lounging.... Customer for life

Remarks about Mephisto’s Cap Vert shoes - I am a pharmacist who is on his feet for 12 to 14 hours a day. For the past 5 years, I have purchased and worn Mephisto’s Cap Vert shoes every day. I own 5 pairs at this time, 2 black, 2 burgundy, and 1 pair of tan. I can wear these shoes all day long and my feet never hurt, never feel fatigued. The cushioned sole provides a maximum of support for the arch and ball of the foot. Plus they look very smart and stylish, a very clean and traditional look. I do need however to issue a complaint. The quality of the shoe has always exceeded my expectations, however I purchased a black pair from a department store in November of 2005, and a portion of the lower stitching came loose on the front toe of the shoe and required my purchase of a new pair from Zappos. Again thank you for the opportunity to express my very positive opinion of the Mephisto shoes and my declaration that I will continue to wear them.

Standing all day I started to get shooting pains down my right leg. My shoulders were stiff. Back aches had reached their limits of toleration. There was something that needed to be done. I was on my way to buy insoles for my shoes when I walked across a friend, and I told him of my aches and pains. He told me to try Mephisto shoes. I went home that night and ordered the Mephisto Capvert shoes. I called Zappos first, but they did not have anything smaller than an 8. I wear a 7 1/2, but I would recommend ordering a 1/2 size smaller because of the fact that they are slip ons. When I received my Capverts the heels would pop out slightly. I was in a big rush to relieve the pain so the thought of sending them back for a 7 was painful. Wore the shoes for a day, and the sliding in and out was horrible. I shipped them back and got 7s. A perfect fit. It’s been about two months now since I started wearing my Capverts. My leg pains are gone. Stiff shoulder has disappeared. The best advice I had gotten in 2009 was to buy this brand of shoe.

Sized poorly - This shoe felt a whole size bigger than rated both length and somewhat in width. I would go with other premium brands first, except for Allen Edmonds.
