Customer Reviews Mephisto Helen

These shoes are very comfortable. The cushioned bottom sole absorbs any shock and the foot nestles right into the footbed. The adjustable strap makes it possible to adjust to personal preference. I found these to be excellent in materials, comfort, and fit. I would highly recommend them.

700+ reviews can't be wrong! This truly is the most comfortable shoe ever. Took just a little time to break in. I had them tighten the strap after it stretched out a bit. They are more comfortable than being barefoot. Try them, you'll love them.

Super cute sandal that is also super comfortable. I am a teacher and am on my feet all day long, these sandals have been life savers! I only wish they made them in wide widths as they are just slightly narrow for the front of my foot - otherwise great.

A perennial favorite. Hope Mephisto never discontinues Helen! Exceedingly comfortable and it's foot flattering, too. I replace my favorite basic, Helen in Navy Scratch, as needed. They could stand to be replaced this year, which I may still do, but when I saw the Mint Nubuck, just had to have them, as all shades of blue-greens and green-blues, light to dark, is by far, the most predominant color in my closet. Buying hints and customer reviews often say Helen runs small and order a full size up, but I've had a half dozen pairs over the years, and I've not found this to be so. The European size I take in most brands, including Mephisto, is the same size that works for me in Helen. You may want to order your usual size and the next size so that you can immediately compare and contrast important all-day comfort issues, such as where the arch hits your foot. Goes without saying that Zappos is where to find the best overall service, selection and value!

I've worn Mephisto Helen's for about 15 years. They're the only sandal I wear. I have them in 7 different colors. The arch support is so good, I can walk for hours and my feet never get tired. I've never had a problem with the fit; I'm a size 6 and that's what I order. Zappos is the best place to order shoes! The customer service is excellent!

Beautiful gold etna sandal, fit perfect right out of the box. These are soft leather, great arch support, totally gorgeous sandal in every way. A dream. Also creates a balance for the body with arch support and flexible sole. Can walk all day in these! Great shoe, great company. Over 700 positive reviews, all of them deserved.

I have multiple colors in this style; as it is a very comfortable shoe. This is an excellent value. On one pair, the long strap gaps a bit, but not terribly.

These shoes are awesome. I have plantar fasciitis and have to be extremely careful with my footwear. They fit like a glove straight out of the box! My only issue is that after they were worn a bit, they stretched. I read reviews and they said the sandals ran small. Not true.

I love these shoes! They are very comfortable, look wonderful, and I can wear them anywhere. They do not hurt between my toes as is so often the case with flip flops. Good support and structure for a sandal.

Super comfortable, with great arch support and very stylish. It took a week or two for the leather to break in, but now they are super comfortable. Love the color!

This footbed (H) offers excellent arch support especially for those with high arches. My feet are never tired at the end of the day after walking miles. These are the only sandals I wear and have them in 6 colors. Happy feet make a happy me! I only wish this footbed could be used for shoes!

This is my second pair. I wish I could wear them everywhere they are so comfortable!

Bought these sandals to take on a 10 day cruise for dressy wear and comfort wear. I usually wear a 10M but had to go up to a 11M to get the correct size. Super comfortable! Super stylish, I received several compliments on them. Highly recommend and I might get another pair.

My wife loves these shoes. She has problems with her feet and has to wear arch supports in all of her shoes except these. We bought her first pair two years ago and have now purchased five pair and continue to add colors.

Love these! I've been wearing Mephisto Helen's for over 10 years. I've had the waxy, nubuck, patent, and scratch in a variety of colors. Although some of the other Mephisto shoes have had changes in footbeds and soles (not good changes), the Helen has been left alone to stay in its perfect form. I have high arches and wide feet, and this is the only sandal I can wear all day, even to work on hot days. Having said that, I think the buckle has been cheapened a little, not a sturdy metal like it used to be, but it still works. I hope Mephisto continues to make Helen with quality materials and leaves the design and materials as is.

Mephisto's are a wonderful shoe and worth every penny. Very comfortable.

Love my Mephisto Helen shoes! These are my favorite shoes and I wear them everywhere except the beach (use Keen)! Excellent quality! The style of this shoe is an added bonus! I have been very pleased with the Mephisto brand and my experience with Zappos shopping is beyond measure!

This is my favorite sandal! it come snug, but loosens perfectly quickly. This is my 4th pair and I try others every year, but can't seem to find one that is as comfortable and stylish. I love it.

I have been wearing the Mephisto Helen since 1997. These are my favorite shoes.\r\nI have these in many colors.\r\nThey are truly the most comfortable footwear that exists. The foot-bed molds to fit your foot in a unique way, making them more comfortable each time you wear them.

These are fabulous shoes. They feel like butter. It is the third pair of them I have bought in the last 6 years. The only drawback of this style was that it is coated with a black shiny topcoat which I don't like as much as the natural look.

I already knew I loved the Mephisto Helen sandal when I ordered a pair from Zappos. I bought my first pair at a store prior to a trip three years ago. I wore those sandals for 10 days almost to the exclusion of every other shoe I'd brought. I was on my feet all day every day and the sandals were great. They have yet to be surpassed in my book for comfort, durability and style (considering they aren't a frou frou sandal). Once I came home, I continued to wear these sandals most of the time. I sent my first pair out to be refurbished by Mephisto and now wear my new sandals everywhere. Zappos was amazing and I deal with internet and catalog companies quite often. The sales person I dealt with was so upbeat and helpful it was almost a shock -- but a good one. The only problem I had with Zappos was that the pair of sandals I was first sent had been tried on and there were faint toe prints on the footbed. There was also a small flaw at the front edge of the footbed leather that might have allowed the cork padding to have been chipped more easily than it should be. I was disappointed. I called to return the pair and asked for a new pair. Zappos sent me the new pair overnight and trusted that I would return the pair I had, without charging me for a second pair (as other companies do) and waiting to credit me when the first pair arrived back at their shipping facility. I simply put the first pair of shoes out in the original packaging with a note to UPS. UPS picked up the first pair when they delivered the new pair -- the next day! Now that I know I can order a pair of shoes and receive them so fast, return them so easily and never pay for either shipping charge, I'm going to look at Zappos first when I'm ready to buy another pair of shoes! They have really made shoe shopping online as pleasant and as easy as it could possibly be. I am very impressed with my limited interaction with Zappos and I don't impress easily!

Wonderful shoes that have perfect arch support. I wore them for traveling in Europe and Asia and do not have to worry about blisters or back pain. Worth every penny!

The shoe is very comfortable, soft leather, and gives me excellent arch support for my history of plantar fasciitis. I now have 5 pairs of Mephistos. Zappos is also an excellent company to work with.

These are my favorite summer shoes! I hate to give them up for winter. They have a very good arch support which helps my back. I love them!! I wish they made a comparable cold weather shoe.

I have a heel spur so I have to be very picky when it comes to shoes, but these shoes are a winner. The are comfortable and easy to walk in. They are great!
