Customers find these shoes comfortable, with one noting they can wear them all day without discomfort, and appreciate their quality and arch support, with one mentioning improved posture after prolonged use. They receive positive feedback for their appearance, durability, and light weight. Customers disagree on the fit, with some finding them too narrow, and on the value for money, with some considering them worth the price while others find them expensive.

Kill the LOGO's... This is an excellent shoe. Solid, comfortable, and reasonably light. I had a pair of Ecco's previously, which were light and very easy to walk in, but they never felt solid and they leaked.. However, the Mephisto does make you wear their logo. This is out of place on a $300 shoe. If you're into showing-off, perhaps you'll be happy. But... Reflect that those who really know, don't need the logo to tell.. And those who don't know aren't worth impressing... Mephisto... Lose the LOGO!

I used to own a shoe store and sold Mephistos. I have had both France production and Portugal manufactured and I personally have not found any great difference. The shoes I wear are the Match. I have 8 pair-7 black and one white. The white ones are 16 years old and the blacks are anywhere from 5 to 17 years. I find that when you buy quality shoes you can have them resoled and have the heel portion repaired with no impediment to the fit or comfort of the shoe. I am about due for new white ones. The economics of an expensive pair of shoes is 17 years divided into the cost is a couple tens per year. You can't even buy cheap runners for that price and have anywhere near the comfort,support or durability. A big reason is the leather and the breathabilty of the shoe. Thanks Peter J. Hebert formerly of White Rock Shoe Service!

Comfort and Style... First things first: I own two pairs; one in brown and 1 in white; but that is about style (white for summer). The main issue with the Match is extreme comfort. These are about the most comfortable walking shoes made today. They are very well made, strong stable sole, and thick, strong leather. Treated, they can last a lifetime. Always use cedar tree shoes with Mephisto. The white can be kept clean with Mephisto white polish (which is a leather conditioner and keeps the leather supple and resistant to water), and normal cleaning. These are an expensive investment and worth cleaning when you are at the end of the day. With Mephistos resoling policy, if you wear them down to nothing, you basically get a new pair for about 1/2 the price (Mephistoresole.com). Mephisto shoes, therefore, are an investment in the health of your feet, as well as your legs, back, and neck. Some with chronic headaches find that a good pair of shoes takes care of that. Mephisto fit a bit large, but this is done by design, as most Americans wear shoes too tight. After a short time wearing Mephistos, you will understand that they should be a bit larger than what you are used to. Some slight imperfections can be expected. I wear no other brand.

Years ago I broke both my feet. Subsequently, I needed orthotics. As a busy Mother and Grandmother, I needed secure footing. No longer could I wear high heels or flats or fancy shoes. So I looked for the very best black shoe with proper support that would go the distance for several years. I have worn the Mephisto Match for years (and years) without the slightest problem. I am continually looking down and saying, "Yup, these are my dancing shoes, my go to church shoes and my hiking shoes." They are perfect! I am 72 and I will be going strong for years to come in my Mephistos!

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

I am female, high arches, moderate+ pronation, mild bunions, recently diagnosed with sesamoiditis/metatarsal pain. Also learned I need a wide shoe width now versus medium and need to find options that won’t create more problems. In the process of replacing most of my shoes. Was looking for something casual/comfortable that didn’t scream bulky running shoe, and maybe get away with wearing them with casual dress pants/maybe some skirts and dresses in addition to jeans and athletic pants. I ran across this Match shoe and was grateful for the many reviews, especially RE sizing. I wear 11.5-12 in most athletic shoes and ordered the men’s 9.5 and 10. Men’s medium width is usually equivalent to a women’s wide. I learned through reviews and Mephisto site that this shoe should not bind anywhere and actually feel somewhat loose in the heel and have extra room in front of toes. Had I not known I probably would have opted for the 9.5, which felt closer to my size but was actually too short in the arch length and would not have worked in the long run. The extra space cradles your foot similar to it being suspended. The engineering of the shoe and moderate arch support gives me balance and helps my gait. The lacing system tightens and releases evenly on your foot and does not bind anywhere; plus makes for easy on and off. The shoes accommodate my new orthotics which takes pressure off the forefoot problem. I understand why these shoes are more expensive. They have a cool look and while they may be limited to casual looks, they feel so healthy on my feet I know I will get a lot of mileage from them.
