Customer Reviews Mephisto Helen

This is my third pair of Mephisto Helen's. I have to have a very supportive shoe (I wear an orthopedic insert in my daily shoes). These sandals feel almost as good as my inserts. I hope I haven't made it sound like these shouldn't be worn by someone with normal feet. I feel they are excellent footwear for anyone.

My favorite shoes. I have been wearing this Helen style of Mephisto shoes for 19 years. They are the most comfortable shoes. They are great for walking or just standing. The arch is perfect for me.

Love them! I've bought them before and I'll buy them again. Good fit, excellent arch support.

I chose the silver Nairobi and love the pattern. Classy with a tiny bit of bling. I measure 6.5, ordered the 7 & they fit perfectly. They're light and the support feels especially great under my arch. On the expensive side but fits the bill for what I wanted in a sandal, so I'm happy.

4th pair of Mephisto Helen's I have purchased! The most comfortable shoe I have ever owned - wish I could wear them to work!

I've been wearing Mephistos for many years, and especially love their sandals. They are like upscale Birkenstocks, which I still buy, but even their new "soft" versions don't match the comfort of the Mephistos. They are a little pricier, but I think worth it.

I love Helens and have worn them for years, so these were a replacement in a new color. I usually get white or black. But am returning these as the silver is not solid (as it appeared on the website) but instead a sort of pebbly pattern. Less retro, more fuddy-duddy-glam than I want.

Best sandal ever. Looks good and has great comfort. I buy them every three years, I seem to wear them out and keep going back for more!

Love these sandals. The color is fantastic! These are my 4th pair.

I love Mephisto sandals. My first pair lasted 10+ years and I am not gentle on my footwear. My original pair was light tan, but my feet sweat and discolored the leather, so my next pairs are darker. I bought 'Helen' for work and 'business casual' affairs. Just enough bling to be fun but not distracting! Love 'em! I wear 8.5 or 9 and their 40 fits perfectly.

I really liked the color and style of this shoe but the area between the toes is very stiff and uncomfortable so I had to return them and got smother style.

This is my second pair of the Helen. Most comfortable, supportive sandal I've ever owned. Cradles your feet. I normally wear a 12 but order size 13, euro size 43. The soles are cork like Birkenstocks but seem a bit more pliable and less likely to crack. Worth every single penny for fit, support, and comfort.

Stunning styling and foot bed extremely comfortable. My problem is rough edges between the toes due to the leather finish coating. Love the other Mephisto styles I own! Too bad, I really liked them. Being returned.

Love love love this shoe. I have it in 5 colors now. I started my collection 3 years ago and was obviously pleased. I have a very narrow foot and this works for me. Plus I have weak ankles and the strap over the top of the foot helps tremendously. Great arch support. I get raves about these in every color

These shoes are extremely comfortable and adorable. I've had so many compliments on them so far. The foot bed feels like it was made to hug your foot. My feet are on the wider side and I had to go up a size, I wish they offered wides. But other than that, they are wonderful!

Love these shoes! Comfy walking shoe with no rubbing between the toes. I have bought multiple Mephisto sandals over the years, and these may be my favorites.

These are sincerely the most comfortable sandals that I have ever worn. I am an 8½ or 9. I purchased a 39 which is my normal Birkenstocks size. These are a bit more narrow and a smidge shorter in length than Birkenstocks but still work. Well worth the price; in fact, I am ordering another pair in a different color! I have been a Zappos friend for 10 years, they cannot compare to any other online shoe company.

Love these shoes! I have been able to wear them all day from day one! I'm not sure that I agree with their sizing recommendation of going up a full size, I think a half size would have been fine.

The most comfortable sandal I've ever worn. Strong arch support, absorbent insole, adjustable strap for narrower or wider feet, great colors, and they look pretty too. This is my fifth pair. I wear a size 10-10.5 and the size 41 is perfect.

In response to the lady from Columbus, Ohio, who said she found the sandals to have an odor after a while....You can clean the foot bed. I washed mine with an enzyme cleaner and a brush, allowed them to dry overnight, and they were like new. Don't be afraid to wet the suede. When they are dry and you first put them on, they will feel a bit stiff. They soften up very quickly. Get those shoes out and enjoy them again!

This is my fifth pair of Helen sandals. I bought the black patent in the late 1990s and wore them for 14 years. I finally had to replace them. I also bought them in blue nubuck, red patent, and now the sparkly metallic. Comfort, comfort, comfort! I plan outfits around these shoes because they feel so good all day long. I can run in them! These sandals are truly worth the money..they last a long, long time. I'm a 7.5, and buy these in size 38. Perfect! Also, you can adjust the strap. 5 gold stars!

Too bad you do not make the matte gold ones. The recent gold is too shiny. Please bring back the matte gold, a sandal for every occasion. I wear this sandal day in, day out here in AZ. Great travel sandal. Goes with dresses, skirts and pants. Love them. (Own 5 pair!)

Have had a pair of Helen Plus since 2010 after injuring small toes and I needed more width up front. Lasted 5 years and still great and wearable but with a few cracks in the cork sole. I took a chance on the regular-width Helen because my toes are healed and I love the Etna Grey. I am completely happy with enough width in front, but a trimmer look for my feet. Same wonderful arch support and cushy leather comfort. The straps loosened comfortably in a couple wears and I tightened the buckle one notch. I wear 8.5-9, and find the 39 roomy enough in front and back. Worth the money if you need a supportive sandal--I find relief with wearing, from a current bout of painful plantar faciitis.

I have planters fasciitis and I have a lot of heel pain and the shoes were a great choice they're comfortable have a lot of support and I can walk with them with little to no pain. I highly recommend them for anybody who is suffering from planters fasciitis. I also like ordering from Zappos delivery was on time and returns are very easy.

This is my third pair of Waxy Black Mephisto sandals over many years, this does not include all the other colors I own, but black is my go to color. I love these sandals, they are supportive, comfortable, I can walk for miles, and they are also stylish!
