Customer Reviews Mephisto Helen

Make me feel like a Goddess! These are so comfy they don't even require breaking in! The look is also cute and versatile--fine for wearing on casual evenings. I bought these for a vacation in France and they were perfect through sightseeing and dinner. Don't worry about the lack of back strap, they stay secure.

The Shoe That Launched 1,000 Steps - I had a pair of Ecco's Cosmo sandals that lasted six blissful years. Sadly, in the intervening years Ecco updated the design and fit. Their new Cosmo II version doesn't work for me I have been on a mission to find a really confy sandal replacement all summer. Helen is very good. It looks good and is comfortable, but because it has no backstrap and can't be worn with socks (not often, but sometimes in the country) it is not as all-purpose as I'd like.

Like walking barefooted! I LOVE these shoes! This is my third pair--I bought the first on a friend's recommendation. They are great! I wear a 39 in European sizing and these are no exception, although I usually wear an 8 1/2 in American sized shoes

Mephisto sandal - Great shoes. I have the white/sky blue version and loved themn so much I ordered the black patent for a dressy version. They were great for sightseeing so that I wouldn't have to wera an ugly running shoe. Zappos is a top notch company too.

Mephisto Helen comfort - I really like this shoe, I had a previous pair, so knew what I was getting. I had forgotten the name of it, so was pleasantly surprised when it came up on Zappos. I had the shoe and the availablity. Thank you Zappos! The shoes are so comfortable,and fits so well, no "hangover".

Great - These shoes fit my feet perfectly. I love the unique blend of the two colors. I wish I had them in every color.

Review of Mephisto's Helen - The only shoes I ever wear are Mephistos. I have a collection of Helen's. These are so incredibly comfortable and fabulous, I can't wear another brand of shoes. I am a therapist and on my feet all day long, with an extremely active life. I have always had sensitive feet--years ago when I discovered Mephistos, I was so happy. This particular style is very easy to slip on and off and the way it is constructed (as all Mephistos) the entire body feels supported and grounded. Proper shoes are so important: the foundation of life. This is one of the only brand of shoes designed for the health of the body AND they are beautiful.

The Best! I must agree with other reviewers, this is best sandal I have ever worn. And that's saying a lot from a Birkenstock fanatic...Was worried about the toe thing as I have "sensitive" feet. No problem! The footbed is superior to my birks. What am I going to do with all my other sandals?

Best Arch Support - Before I found my first pair of Helen's about 6 years ago, I could no longer spend a full day in sandals. Now I can thanks to Mephistos.

Mephisto's Helen should be Mephisto's Heaven - From the 1st day of wear I fell in love with this shoe. Not only is the footbed the most comfortable--and better than any Birkenstock I own--but the straps do not rub and the leather is soft and supple. I comtemplated buying Mephisto's for years but was daunted by the price. Believe me, they are worth every penny and more. I am hooked on the brand. Thank you Zappos.

Bernadette, MI - I have been wearing the Mephisto Helen Sandal for four years. I have purchased 3 pairs and wish that I could have a pair in every color. From the first time that I put these shoes on my feet they have been the greatest. I walked literally all over Europe the first summer that I bought them and I was never uncomfortable. It was a very hot summer and I found that my feet were always at maximum comfort. I would recommend them to anyone, but especially to people who have had trouble with their feet. My only wish is that they would make them in a wide width as well so that my daughter could benefit from their great comfort. My other daughter went to a foot doctor, whose recomendations did not help her. Since she purchased her first pair of Mephisto's Helen Sandals two years ago, she has not had any pain when she walks. My daughter-in-law was the first to recommend them to me. Everyone that I know who has them, swears by them.

Love them - I could walk forever in these sandals. Also, feet still look pretty in them. I tried on all kinds of Birkenstock-style shoes in many brands, and only these didn't make my feet look short and fat. The toe area is a little narrow (and I already have skinny feet!) but it doesn't bother me. Also, the sole starts to get that dark, sticky look quickly. Other than that, they are great and worth the money.

Great Sandal - This is the second pair of this shoe that I have bought. I have a very high arch and the support this shoe gives is wonderful!

Helen - It was great to be able to finally find this shoe in the camel nubuck. I had been looking for this particular color for months and was told it was no longer available. And what a surprise it was to have Zappos contact me let me know it was, in fact, available. Thank you Zappos!!!

Pleased - I am pleasantly pleased with these shoes.

Super - Very comfortable and the shoe inspite of it's cork sole and all lasts a long time.

My favorite shoe! I have several pairs of this shoe--have worn out 3 pair. I only wish I could wear them year long. They are perfect for my narrow foot and high arch.

Helen - very comfortable

Mephisto Helen - I LOVE Mephisto Helen shoes. I have been looking for stylish and comfortable sandals for a long time and now I think I do not need to look anymore for the style but only a new color of Helen. The arch support of these shoes is amazing, after wearing them the whole day long my feet do not hurt. I got so many compliments from shoe-sellers to my sky blue/navy blue waxy pair. I thought it was pretty interesting that people who sell shoes in our area asked me where I found my Mephisto. Thank you Zappos for an excellent service, my shoes were sent priority mail free, I had them in 2 days after placing my orders. Also the return free shipping and processing the return on your side is great.

Product review - The shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes I have. I wear them all summer, except in the rain. They are not waterproof. That is the only way they could improve them.

Love this Sandal - A great shoe that is comfortable the minute you put it on. It seems a little narrow at the toe box area but I have a wide foot so who knows about that. I would definately order it again. I would order anything from Zappos as I have never had such excellent customer service from an internet shoe store! The customer service folks are wonderful!

They look great; however, until you break them in (not long) they are a little uncomfortable.

Mephisto Helen - Years ago I happened to try on a pair of these sandals and have found them to be the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. Even in the winter, I wear them as much as I can as they are the only shoes I have found that don't hurt my feet and cause my legs to tire. I own every color they have ever had and only wish more colors were available and that somehow, the same comfort for my feet could be found in their other styles.
