this is my third pair of Mephisto "H" sandals in the past year. For anyone who doesn't know, the style names that start with the same letter are cut/designed the same so they should all fit the same. I also have Hennel which is very similar except without the toe-posts). I do find that it is necessary to do a little break-in on the toe posts of these Helen sandles (I rub a little mink oil on the posts and wear them around the house for a day or two before long walks. I have extremely flat feet and other issues ... the footbed in these are by far the best I have ever found in my lifetime (like they were made of me personally) and, after time wearing them, the cork footbed does indeed mold to conform you your own foot. Beware, though, there is absolutely zero padding in Mephisto "H" sandals. No padding at all. After many miles, my feet are sore b/c of that but the perfect support is totally worth the lack of padding (a little would still be nice :). Also, like so many sandals, the suede footbed is a lighter color and gets dirty (WHY don't manufacturers figure that out ??)

I love these so much, but I decided I wanted to get another summer out of the pair I already have that are just like this.

I have wanted these for a long time. I’m so happy to have them now. Not only are they good for my feet, they are comfortable, and sexy too. I love them.

I love Mephisto shoes!! They are really comfortable and have a wonderful arch support. I own about 10 pairs and love them all.

I have been looking for a comfortable sandal for my narrower foot and heel. I tried a Birkenstock and they were not comfortable but the Mephisto Helen
seems to do very well. I wore them for an afternoon and my foot felt good in the shoe. I will continue to break them in and hope I can wear them all day.

I love this sandal! I have a wide foot, and Mephisto sandals work for me even though they don’t come in wide widths. I just loosen the straps a notch or two - the footbed is wide enough. I’ve had this same sandal for years and have used it daily in the summer, and I just wanted to replace my old worn out pair. The sandal is sturdy, comfortable, and stylish, and my feet feel very supported.

These are my new favorite sandals! They are true to size. I wear a 10 and these are a 40 in European sizing - perfect fit. The arch support is excellent and so comfortable for all day wear. I got the Black Nubuck and love the material, high quality, soft but sturdy.

This is my second pair of shoes in this style. They are so comfortable even the first time you put them on. I really love sandals but need ones with a great support. I feel I get that from this one. ( I am a grandmother over 70.)

I love these shoes and wear them EVERY DAY! This is my third pair so that I can mix and match. My only issue is that they don't make half sizes so they run a half size small but obviously it hasn't stopped me from wearing them.

Really comfortable. My second pair as I found out that patent leather is not as sturdy as some of the other leathers…

Love the Helen Shoes, this is my second pair. Have Plantar Fasciitis and heel spur; only sandal brand that i have found that feels good to my foot. After you wear for a while, the leather does stretch a bit. But overall a great shoe!

I have probably had around 10 pair of Helen sandals in various colors over the years. They are the most comfortable sandals made. I can walk all day in them, and the arch support is perfect for me.

Love this brand and have been struggling with knee and ankle issues lately, these are pain-free walkers with plenty of support and cushion.

I’ve bought several shoes thru the years from Zappos. You can buy with confidence of the products offered and the professional company that sells the products

I love this shoe/sandal. It is probably my 6th pair over many years. They do last a long time. They have great support , super comfortable and very good cushioning. And they are cute. Can't go wrong.

I have a narrow foot. I normally wear a size 9. Other reviews said order a size up. I ordered a size 10. Perfect fit. Color a splatter of pinks blue orange. They will match most of my summer attire.

I am a fan of Mephisto sandals and feel they are worth the price, since I wear them all the time. This sandal is incredibly comfortable with great arch support, yet not clunky looking (think Birkenstock). I would say it runs a bit narrow accross the toes but not enough for me to go up in size.

I needed a new pair after wearing the other pair for 10 years. I mainly save for just in the house. I cannot go barefoot because of plantar fasciitis. I do a lot of chores in them and did finally kind of wear out my other pair. I love how soft yet firm these are and the arch support is amazing. This was the first sandal/shoe I got when I figured out my plantar fasciitis issue.

Hands down, the most comfortable shoes I own. I love that they aren’t as wide as Birks and look pretty stylish for a walking shoe.

Perfectly comfortable right from the start, adjustable upper strap which is useful for narrow feet like mine... worth the money!
