Customer Reviews Mephisto Helen

Great Sandal! Very comfortable from the start. Excellent support for flat feet. Classy design. One of my favorites!

Great shoes and service - Foot problems no longer. Mephisto shoes are great for aching feet solutions. My feet feel like they are being massaged as I walk. The styles are also great. Zappos matched the lowest price I found on another web site which saved 110%. I recieved my shoes within 2 days at no extra cost no shipping and no tax. I will definitely shop from Zappos again.

Awesome Mephisto Helen - I love the Helen style of Mephistos. This is the second pair that I own. My first pair is brown (I just bought the pink nubuck!) and I have worn them for about five years and will continue to wear them this summer. Once your foot is embedded in the sole, they are the best fitting sandal ever! I have short wide feet with a very high instep. Since these have an adjustable strap, I can wear them. Normally I wear a 6.5 W and the size 37 fits me perfect. I use the very largest size on the strap so people with narrower feet can easily make an adjustment. The length of the 37 will fit from 6.5 to 7 easily and maybe even 7.5 (not sure). The arch support is great. Easier to break in than the Birkenstock (I wore mine all day as soon as they arrived with no discomfort) and much more comfortable. Well worth the money!

Love the Helen! Fab shoe, no break-in period, got it in two colors. You can't go wrong. Zappos is THE best!

Mephisto Helen - This is my first pair of Helen's. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I highly recommend them.

I love them - I found these sandals to be comfortable from the moment I put them on. It did not take anytime to break them in. I felt they were true to size and width and they are a cute sandal on my foot as well. Overall a real plus - something I would buy again.

Mephisto Helen - I find the Mephisto shoe takes a bit longer to break in then some other comfort brands, but it is well worth the time, I wear them around the house for a while. I love the silver as I can wear these shoes from casual to dressed and only need one pair when I travel

Mephisto's are the best shoes ever. I have been wearing mephisto shoes for @ 8 yrs. The first pair I purchased as a walking shoe for a European vacation, and I have been hooked ever since. After that I went for the hiking boots, loafers, and sandals. The initial purchase price seems high at first, until you wear them, and then it is definitely worth it. I bought my first pair of mephisto Helen last year, and it immediately became my favorite sandal. It is so comfortable, but not in a soft, running-shoe way. It is more stiff, but supportive of the foot. I tend to want to roll my feet outward and walk on the outside edge of my foot, the mephisto brand aligns my feet perfectly so that I no longer do that. Also I like the feel of the footbed, in summer it never seems hot. I have recently purchased 2 more colors of Helen (pink and black patent) and can hardly resist the urge to buy more! Thanks to mephisto and Zappos I have very contented feet!

My favorite summer look. I have them in 4 colors.

So in love! I have two pairs of Helen sandals. I've worn them so much I have triangular tan lines on my feet. They're so good for walking and provide excellent arch support. I have a wide foot with high arch, and these shoes are exceptionally comfortable! It's only a matter of time before I get pair #3...

I got the Helens in silver- if you are thinking of the silver but are on the fence about it, don't be- the silver is Fabulous! The leather seems very durable, the silver is nice and shiny, and the dark footbed and sole are great contrast. The buckles are good for high insteps. I wear between a 6 1/2 and 7, closer to a 7, and the size 7 in these worked well for me. These were a first purchase of Mephistos for me, and I am very pleased- the craftsmanship is superior, well worth the price. This was also my first Zappos purchase- I can't say enough about doing business with Zappos. I am so happy with everything, shoe selection, delivery, sale offerings each week, but especially customer service.

One Helen-of a shoe - This is my second pair of Mephisto HELEN. Bought my first pair in a department store in black smooth leather 2 years ago and literally wore them right out of store and never felt more comfortable with a brand new pair of shoes. It was incredible! Until then I always resisted buying Mephisto because they are a little expensive for a sandal ( although I don't usually feel the same way about a full shoe or boot!). I now have 2 pair of HELEN ( Black and a new pair in apple green) and also 2 pair of HIRWEN which are also divine! I am in my early fifties, very style conscious and never feel that either style is out of place with capris, long skirts, linen pants. The toe thong should not worry anyone. I am not generally a big fan of toe thongs but Mephisto designs them in such a way that they do not feel weird or bothersome.

Every woman needs a pair of Mephisto Helens - This is my 3rd pair of Helens and they are one of the only shoes I can wear all day working or shopping and not have sore, tired feet by the end of the day. I was thrilled when you had the Navy in something other than a nubuck, so had to order them as soon as I saw them on the website.

The most comfortable sandals. I love Mephisto. I have plantar fasciitis and need good arch support. These sandals provide this. They are the most comfortable Mephisto shoes ever! Plus they are cute. I love them so much I got them in 2 different colors.

Love these shoes! These sandals have just been the BEST! So amazingly comfy!

Better than the other leading brand - My ankles have a tendency to turn out...these sandals help align my ankles and give very good support to my whole foot - and they don't look too clunky!

I love them too - great for Plantar Fasciitis - I never write reviews, but this shoe has been so awesome that I just had to add to the acclaim on this board. I had severe Plantar Fascitis for almost 2 years (total of 4), and I feel that these sandals were part of finally getting better. I've worn Birks and Danskos and many others, but these really are great. I think they look good and are my "house shoes" as well as many other uses. By the way, if you have Plantar, please hang in there. I lost nearly all hope and never believed I'd get better. If you haven't tried yoga, try that. I basically had to dedicate my life to fixing my foot. But it finally happened. Enjoy the shoes!

Instant Favorite - Fantastic design; better than barefoot right out of the box. Provide the free feeling of no shoes with the support and protiection of sturdy soles. I can hardly wait for the snow to melt so I can wear them outside...

5 Stars Across The Board! These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. They can be worn in comfort all day long! I LIVE in these in the summer time!

The best sandal - This sandal is comfortable and wearable season after season.

Mephisto Helen -- Love it!! Mephisto is the only brand of sandal I have worn since 1990. Expensive but worth the price in comfort and durability. I have 5 pair of Helen and can wear them for several years before having them resoled at half the price of buying new. The bed of this shoe is like a high-quality orthotic.

Mephisto helen review - This sandal is awesome. It's not only incredibly comfortable it's also long lasting. I wear my pair all the time and they still work after 9 years. The look is also awesome. On a scale of 1-10 the Mephisto Helen gets a 10! GREAT JOB MEPHISTO!

Medphisto - Helen - I would like to see more available colors in size 10. I love the shoe. I have been trying to fine metalic gold and silver.

The metallic ones.... Well, I've got about 10 or 11 Helen's now; just got the gold pair that I've been wanting. Two words: AWE SUM!!!! Wicked cute, makes me feel like dressing up like Cleopatra--queen for a day time--harem pants, ankle chains, peeled grapes! I *worship* gold sandals anyway, so this was a great find, and these are the shiniest, goldest, cutest ones I've got. Only thing I mark them down on is that the metallic leather is very stiff, not super soft like my tan ones, black ones, yellow ones, red ones, white ones.... you get the pic. But as I wear them they seem to be softening up a bit, and they're still wonderfully comfortable, just less so than the other Helen's. Now, on to finding a silver pair!

Summer Sandel - I have high arches and a tendency to fold my feet in on there sides when Im standing. This sandel keeps my foot comfertable and flat.I bought my first pair 4 yerars ago,and add a new every year now.
