Customer Reviews Mephisto Sydel

I bought these shoes to wear on a trip to France. I ordered my regular size (9) and had to exchange for the next size larger. The shoe rises up along the front and the back edge. Due to the large amount of walking we did, I developed blisters on the bootom of my heel and bottom of toes. They were comfortable for short distance but not all day walking.

Look nice, feel uncomfortable - Nice looking shoe with very uncomfortable straps. The leather on the straps is so hard; I doubt it would get comfortable with wear. The foot bed is very comfy though. Because of the rough leather on the straps, I could not wear it longer than 5 minutes, so I had to return it.

OUCH! I am a big fan of Mephistos, have Ularia sandals in a dozen colors, and most colors of Gabriela maryjanes. I had high hopes for this one, love all the color options. The footbed feels wonderful, so supportive and comfortable. But the straps on the white patent dig into my foot, no matter how adjusted. I was shocked that a Mephisto could hurt so much. I don't know if other colors that are not patent would feel better. I suspect it is the style, so I will probably just return them. Too bad, they are very cute looking. Back to Mephisto Ularia, and for comfy flats, Birkenstock Orlando.

Cute but not comfortable - As a fan of the comfort of Mephisto Shoes I am totally disappointed in this shoe. The buckles are attached with a metal fastener which gouged a small hole into the skin on my feet. Now I have to wear band aids under the buckle in order to even wear the shoes. Not a good design for me. Also the finish on the silver ones is worn after only wearing them 2 times. Not the quality you would expect for the price.
