Customer Reviews Mephisto Violette

Extremely comfortable and a good walking shoe for summer. I wear a 7-1/2 and bought the 7 and it fits perfectly.

Super, as always! If you've never worn Mephisto, you are in for a treat. I prefer their shoes over Birkenstock's, when I wear this type of shoe because they are narrower and more sleek-looking. I have a medium width foot, so my preference is not because I have narrow feet, but because Mephisto shoes are easier for me to walk in: their soles aren't as wide as those of Birkenstock's. And this shoe in particular has a lot of style! However, be sure to order one size up: I normally wear a US size 8 and I needed to get a size 39 in this style.

I love this shoe! I have worn Mephisto Helen for years and decided to try a different style. I was not disappointed. This is a great sandal! One word of caution. I was expecting a white-white and the shoe is more of a grayish-white. Still, I'm very happy with the shoe.

Love these sandals! They look a lot like the Jack Rogers sandals, a favorite of Jackie Kennedy. Based on other reviews, I ordered a size larger and had to return them -- too big. I ordered my regular size and they fit fine. Very comfortable and when I wear them, women stop and ask where I purchased them. Zappos of course!

At first I wasn't sure, but they really are great! I bought these shoes a year ago while visiting my parents in FL. I brought them home and wore them and they were very painful at the top where the flower is sewn on and it caused a blister. I took them back to the Mephisto store and showed them the shoe and my foot and they professionally softened and stretched the leather for me until I felt more comfortable. They also told me to take a butter knife and rub it against the leather where it feels stiff to further soften it. I did and now they're great! I wear them all the time. They've molded to my foot and are THE most comfortable pair of shoes I own.

Simply Love this Shoe... I love this shoe! It has excellent support - so very comfortable and looks totally cool too. Why was it discontinued? I simply love this shoe. I have bought 3 pairs in black, 1 pair pink & 1 pair green. I would like to buy another pink pair if possible size 7. Can you locate a pair for me? I would buy it in a second...

STYLISH and COMFORTABLE SHOE - I bought this pair in green, because I have this pair in beige. I have plantar facitis and these are very comfortable. In fact, I wear them every day. They have great arch support and look cute as well! I give them 5 *'s!!!

Very Cute! I bought these with a couple other pairs. These are very cute. However, I am a medium-to-narrow foot & these are a bit loose on me. I kept them, though, as I wear them casually anyway.

Sandal du jour - but I hope they make it forever! Very attractive, and the footbed is very supportive - comfortable for standing long periods of time! For me, it is the perfect solution to dealing with plantar faciitis and my desire for feminine summer sandals. I am used to flat shoes whose soles flex, so this type of shoe felt clunky to me. For now I cannot walk at lightening speed, or great long distances in these shoes, but otherwise, no break-in time was required. I found that they were somewhat narrower than the Helen, but more comfortable. I liked them enough to buy more ... in several colors. Who knows ... I may never go back. And just as important, buying from Zappos.com has been a first class experience!!!

Super comfy - Very comfortable...no break-in time needed.

My favorite brand of sandals - I absolutely love these shoes. They are incredibly comfortable as well as stylish. I could buy one in every color if I needed them.

Cute... After looking at all the Mephisto shoes I settled on this one because it was the cutest of the lot imho. It did rub a slight blister on the top of my left foot but after that it broke in quickly with no more problems. I love the arch support as I have very high, although collapsing, arches and the support is a God send. I normally wear an 11.5 but I ordered the 12 and it's good that I did because they seem to run a bit small. I'll definitely order more Mephisto brand shoes.

Cute and comfortable. First, let me say that I never purchase shoes from any place but Zappos; their service is terrific and the selection incredible. Second, I just got these Mephisto sandals in fuschia and they fit so perfectly,were very attractive, and so incredibly comfortable that I am placing another order for the black sandals. You will love this sandal; it is everything a rather expensive sandal should be and more.

Too Small - I love the style but the sizing is very deceptive. I have returned them twice and finally gave up. They are very small about a full size and a half smaller than average. I read the other reviews but they didn't help with th decision.

I Love Them! This is my second pair of Violettes, and I love them. I have them in black and in magenta and I wear them all of the time. I've not been able to wear Mephistos before, and I think it's because I was trying to wear a size too big in them. These are great!

Mephisto Violette - This is a very cute shoe, as well as a great walking shoe! I usually wear a 39 in a Mephisto shoe, but, in this shoe I needed a 38 and that was a perfect fit. I purchased the bright green, and it is vibrant. Violette is rather pricey, but, it is worth it to have fit and comfort that will last.

Feminine Comfort - If you're like me, and you want comfort with feminine style, these are the perfect combination. For me, thong sandals can mean blisters between the toes, but not with these. The leather thong is soft. Here style and "flirty feminine fun" meet casual comfort to create a great all around sandal for the beach, or park or anywhere. I purchased the tangerine color which looks fabulous with or without a tan.

Fabulous, French and not fussy - If you want panache and comfort, Mephisto's are for you. Not glitzy but chic in their own French "in your face" way. Birkenstock people should move up to this brand. You won't believe how much more comfortable they are! If they don't feel perfect right out of the box, wear them for a few days. Heaven!

Way too narrow! I think the shoe is very cute and would look good with many summer outfits, but it is way too narrow for my foot. It also seems a little short (I typically wear a size 10-10.5, and the 11 seemed small). I needed to return it.

Adorable, yet sturdy and comfortable…even more so than Helen Plus. Seems to stay on well for a thong. I have a very wide foot and my pinky toe hangs over a bit, but I'm keeping them as they're the most current and cute Mephisto sandal (with the awesome cork footbed like the Helen I've worn for ages)!

These are one of my all-time favorites. Just ordered my second pair, the first lasting many seasons. Super arch support! Great for travel.

I absolutely love Mephistos, and my Plantar Fasciitis heel pain has been gone for 4 years because of them! However, a few people have suggested the resoling service for $75.00. I was not happy with my resoled sandals. The cork part didn't last, it was crappy. If you want Violettes in red, pass them up. Like a few other reviewers said, the red stretches out.

These shoes are amazing! I have flat feet plus I recently knocked my knee cap out of place...and these shoes are a blessing! I can wear them all day long and my feet never hurt. Plus, they are so cute and I get lots of compliments! The price is a bit high, but I promise it is so worth it!

Perfect walking sandal - I was looking for the perfect walking sandal for my trip to Europe that would offer good support, yet look good. These are perfect. They have good arch support and after walking all day, I have no heel pain from plantar fasciitis that I often get from other sandals. Other reviewers complained that they had irritation at first from the area beneath the flower, but I did not experience this. The footbed felt a little stiff for the first few days, but now that they are worn in, they are very comfortable and I think they are better looking than a lot of other similar type sandals. Great choice!
