Customer Reviews Mephisto Helen

This is the most comfortable sandal I've ever worn -- better than barefoot! I own other Mephisto sandals, but I keep reaching for my Helen's! They’re stylish, attractive, and unbelievably wearable. There's no flop in this flip-flop -- the strap over the arch holds it securely on your foot. I wear a 7 1/2 wide and the 38 (8) fits perfectly. It’s worth every penny, and then some, with very high quality leather. The natural rubber sole is the secret to comfort here. Polyurethane soles simply can't compare.

Mephisto Flip Flops - I shall never wear another flip flop, since nothing compares to the easy comfort. I am on oxygen 24-hours per day and in a wheelchair most of the time, when I do walk (which I love to do) it was often painful, but not with Mephisto Shoes.

Mephisto Helen - I just recieved these sandals and they are by far the most comfortable sandal I have ever had. I'm 47years old and I can no longer walk around barefoot my heels hurt, however, with these sandals I could hike for miles. Buy these they are truly a great sandal.

I try always to order Mephisto sandals because of their comfort. This one is no exception to my high standard for comfort. I just have to get accustomed to the leather between the toes. I love the shoe! And I love all the colors!

Mephisto Helen - I love Mephisto shoes. This is not my favorite style, I prefer the Elka and the Irena, but they don't come in such nice colors.

The last sandal I'll ever own... I first found and bought the Mephisto Helen almost 5 years ago. This is, by far, the most comfortable sandal I've ever worn! I've created a whole band of Helen fans by raving about them! We wear sandals all the time, year round here in Dubai and so not only do they look good and feel good, they WEAR well, too! Zappos just needs to start shipping internationally to make getting my pairs of Mephisto Helen easier!

Great Fit! These shoes fit like a glove. The soles and straps are soft and inviting. I got the two tone tan and brown and I love them. The cross strap gives the shoe a bit of a busy look, but I think I will grow to like that.

The more colors the merrier - These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned, and they have the added benefit of making my wide feet look slender. I take them on all my trips, as they are comfortable for sightseeing and fashionable. They look good with casual attire, whether pants, shorts, dresses or skirts. After my initial purchase of a black patent pair, I have been purchasing a new colour each year. I recently purchased my 5th pair of Mephisto Helen sandals in turquoise (I also have fuschia, blue, tan and black patent). I look forward to seeing the new colours each year. I recommend them most highly.

This is an extremely comfortable shoe with "Design Pizazz." The diagonal strap has a slimming effect on the leg. The high arch makes these shoes so comfortable that I wear them as slippers around the house, year round (with socks in the winter); along with outdoor wear in spring and summer.

Comfort and style in one sandal - I own a pair of Helen's that I purchased nearly a year ago. After wearing them day in and day out (living in southern California, this is possible) almost exclusively since then, they are every bit as wonderful as the day I first purchased them. Definitely well worth the investment. They will outlast any other sandal. And for comfort, they cannot be beat!

Mephisto Helen - The best sandal! Best buy -many companies do similar, but the quality of the sole on these is superior. Can go anywhere in them and are very comfortable. I have narrow feet and hate thongs between my toes, but these are great!

Best Sandals I've ever purchased! I normally don't like to spend very much money on sandals -but when I saw these, I knew I had to get them. I got the dark buck color with the soft leather and they're wonderful! I'm so glad that I bought them! I normally wear an 8.5 so I got the 9 -Euro sz. 39- it fits perfect! If you wear a 9 -you might want to go up a size.

Great arch support which is not evident in the picture - I love these sandals and wear them every chance I get. They're good for my feet and back. People come up to me and ask about them often. The black nubuck is quiet stylish. I have the red leather also. The "waxy" leather is harder and does not mold to your foot as readily, so I don't find them as comfortable. I wear an 8 American, but find that the 38 is a perfect fit. I cannot wear Birks -they're too wide and the arch is in the wrong place.

Waited many years to buy this shoe! I was always putting off purchasing this shoe (b/c there are many knockoffs for much less). These beds are the softest and most comfortable for this kind of cork latex shoe (Birks are very stiff, Naots are softer but quality is lesser). The style isn't so crunchy granola and I know that I can expect at least 5 years of hard wear from these shoes! My feet are wide and I went up the a larger size (usually i'm 7/7.5) to 8. It feels a bit narrow for my toes. but not narrow near the arch or anywhere else.

Amazing shoes! These are by far the most comfortable shoes in the world. I love the sleek style and the fit is perfect. I've ordered these in two colors and I'm excited to treat myself to one more pair for the Summer. I get compliments every time I wear them. No break-in required; these sandals are extremely comfortable from the onset. I often forget that I'm wearing shoes when I have my Mephisto's on.

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!"

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!

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! ;)

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.

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

BB's review. Most comfortable, versitile, best looking, softest suede, best fitting sandals I've ever wore.

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.

The size is exactly right. The sandals are extremely uncomfortable initially, and it takes a while to wear them in. I like them enough to deal with the discomfort. My first pair from a few years ago was worn in and comfortable, but unfortunately was in stolen luggage while on vacation

I ordered a size 8 ( I'm usually 7.5/8), regular width but had to return because it felt narrow. My toes did not have enough room and were sticking out of the shoe. I have never had any issues with width in any shoe before. Great shoes but had to return.

Shoe was beautiful color, fit ok,, down side could not adjust over long part of my foot, from toe to arch, mephisto fits my narrow foot & more comfortable then Birks
