Customer Reviews Mephisto Shark

I've worn these sandals for years. Recently, I decided to try another competitor's sandal (we'll call them Blisterstock to protect the innocent) because they were half the price and all the cool kids wear them. I wanted to be cool and this might be my chance! What a mistake. I call it "stupid tax" for me to take what has served me so faithfully for so long and discard it. I do a lot of walking in sandals (8-10 miles a day). I don't know how anyone can walk that long in Blisterstocks, even after 2-3 weeks (!!) of break-in. I promptly came back to Zappos and ordered some new Mephsito Shark sandals. Two days later they arrived (super speedy delivery!). I stepped into them and they felt like walking on clouds from the first minute. The fit was perfect, the craftsmanship divine. Never again will I make such a grave error. I'll get these babies resoled in a few years to try to save some coin. But if that doesn't work, buying new ones from Zappos is money well spent.

My husband loved his first pair of Mephisto Shark's but had walked through the soles after 5+ years of wearing them. For his birthday, I wanted to find the perfect gift and thought this was a good time to get a new pair and thankfully I was right! He couldn't say enough about the new iteration of the shoe and has worn them as many days as he could since. The only downside of the product is the price which is pretty prohibitive for many folks.

Wow! Great sandal, light weight, solid and very comfortable. Exceptionally well made.

Excellent sandal, I purchased a brand name but less expensive sandal that did not have the padding and comfort of the Shark. Zappos handled the return immediately and shipped the Shark's overnight. I wish all my online shopping experiences were as positive as this one was.

The sandals are great and the service provided by this website is excellent. The selection of shoes is good, the shipping is fast and free of charge. I am very happy that you are there for us!

The Sharks are the most comfortable things I have ever had on my feet. Last year I replaced my original Mephistos with a cheaper brand. What a mistake! I am happily back in the fold. Zappos was a pleasure to do business with. I ordered Wednesday and got the Sharks Thursday.

I like these Mephisto Shark sandals; but I have only had them a few days. They appear well made. They are not super cushioned; but they are comfortable. I have walked a lot in my sandals comfortably already. I bought them a size larger than my dress shoe size and they fit perfect. I do normally wear a narrow size too and the medium width fit fine. I chose these sandals based in part of the reviews and the fact that they have cork and latex materials in the foot bed under the suede. I also have Josef Seibel clogs and had Seibel sandals in the past which I liked a lot too. I think that the foot bed will form to my foot shape in time; thus making it even more comfortable. I like the velcro straps and buttons. I have high arches; but I don't remember how the arch was in these sandals.

The world's most comfortable sandal - I have been wearing the Mephisto Shark for several years. We live in the Southwest and they get a lot of use. They are extremely comfortable and the sole has great traction.

These are more comfortable than Birkenstock Milanos, and don’t look too much worse. They offer great stability, decent arch support, and can take some abuse, although they are not hiking boots and should probably not be treated harshly repeatedly. I might not wear them to an outdoor wedding again, but they look nice enough for any other place you would feel comfortable wearing Birks.

Just ordered the second pair of these sandals for my husband. His old pair are almost 5 yrs. old and since he loves them so much he even wore them during the colder months with socks, stretching them. He needed a new "barefoot" pair. Most comfortable sandals ever!...and well worth the price. And thanks Zappos for the great service.

Great Sandals! Very comfortable, with great support. They are easily adjustable.

Best sandals I have ever owned - I have owned these for over two years; I bought them when the shoe first came out. They still look almost new and I wear them all the time. Absolutely top-notch quality, amazing comfort. Mephisto makes the best sandals in the world.

Mephisto Review - These are fabulous sandals. My husband had a pair about 5 yrs. ago and they just wore out. He wore them all the time, even in winter with socks.

Owner for 3 years - This is the best footwear I have ever had 3 years and I wear them every day winter with wool socks and summer barefoot. Worth every penny. I have a hip replacement and can walk blocks with these I even get them wet and no negative effect. Buy them; you will love them and you can even have them resoled.

Husband Loves these! Whenever I usually ask my husband to try on something I bought for him, if he likes it he says, "This will work". When he tried on these sandals however, His eyes lit up and said, "These are Niiice...." The adjustable straps are great since he has wide feet & high arches. Also, I bought his normal shoe size and they fit fine. Expensive, but worth it!

good shoes - They feel good and look good what else can I say?

Best sandals ever - This is my second pair of Mephistos ( I bought the first one nine years ago & wore them regularly). I thought nothing could surpass those but these are simply the best. Felt like I had them for years just after one day.

Great looking sandal - I got these for my husband's birthday. He wanted to know what I paid for them, before he tried them on, because they looked expensive. I wouldn't tell him...Once he tried them on...he wouldn't take them off. He didn't ask the price again. Very comfortable--worth the price too.

The strap covers my pinky and 4th toe. Would rather have all my toes out, it feels like the outer 2 toes are in a shoe, not sandal. The strap on the toes is a little high (toward the toes). If it were closer to the ankle, it would be easier to wear the sandals unbuckled like slides. The straps on the front of the ankle (middle strap) has a seat belt closure which seems nice, but they are hard to get closed with 1 hand for some reason. At times it takes me 30s or more to get them closed, or I resort to using 2 hands. Also, I believe these clasps will break before anything else. I got blisters hiking with them with no socks on, 3 pretty big ones. Perhaps I need to break them in more. My heel was undamaged, unlike another pair of sandals I have.
