Customer Reviews Allrounder by Mephisto Niro

I am giving it 4 stars for overall because it runs about half size smaller, otherwise good looking shoes for casual wear, decent arch support. Sending back the 6 I ordered, requesting a 6 1/2. I hope that will work!

Much wider than described. Not as supportive as expected from Mephisto. Cute looking. Going back

I just had shoulder surgery and will be in a sling for at least 6 weeks. I can't tie my shoes or drive, so I will be doing a lot of walking and need a pair of comfortable sturdy shoes that I can get on and off one handed. These are comfortable and would have worked well, but are a bit too large. So bummed it is not available in the next half size down. I would recommend ordering a half size smaller.

I ordered the color teal, which was more of a dusty or denim blue color. I like the mesh ventilation. Were just a little large, even with the heel strap tight. Will look into a replacement 1/2 size smaller.

Allrounder in red look really great! However this shoe runs big and there is not very much arch support for my high arches, so I had to return them.

These shoes run large, but that's good if you want to wear an insole. I would have kept them except for two things: the mesh part was too airy for me and my feet got cold just walking around the house (and I live in CA)! Also, I wasn't happy with the white soles, but would have kept them if my feet weren't cold.

The good: these are totally cute, especially in the dark brown; they are also a little wider than normal in the toe, which is great for me (I’m in between a medium and a wide shoe). The bad: ALMOST NO CUSHIONING. The sole is extremely uncomfortable for a walking sneaker. If I can find an insert that gives me a little softer sole I’ll keep them. Otherwise back to the store. Too bad — I love the way they look and have adored the last two pair of Nicos I’ve owned. They just seem to have gone downhill, and they are rather pricey to be uncomfortable.

Adorable shoes. A sneaker that really doesn't look like a sneaker. I was expecting a little more arch support than they provide so I may need to add custom inserts for long walks. They seemed a bit large at first but my feet tend to fluctuate in size throughout the day. I liked that I could just adjust the strap for a better fit whenever I needed it.

Great color, not as comfortable (cushy) as I had hoped but ankle and heel strap make fit very adjustable. They are a bit clunky looking on my feet but light and would be good for traveling.

Great looking shoes, but too wide. Sorry to have to return them.

nice shoes, always like these, but this shoe material is too soft to support the outer side of my food in place. maybe if leather...

I am 32 but have sensitive feet prone to swelling/overheating, and need very comfortable and cool shoes. With a few adjustments these should be great. They have no arch support, but easily accommodate an insert (I put one underneath the removable insole). This does, however, cover up the lower mesh portion of the shoe, leading to a tad less breeziness. The edge of the top Velcro strap jabs me in the tendon at the front of the ankle/top of foot when I walk, but adding some thin padding underneath that will be easy and completely solves the problem. The inside of the shoe is mostly comfortable without socks, with the exception of a single rough seam (above the little toe area) that rubs a bit when it folds in and may need covering up. It is not uncommon for me to make small alterations to footwear to ensure total comfort - they key, for me, is finding a well-made shoe that doesn't need major changes, and this fits that bill. I've never before seen a sneaker-like shoe with an adjustable back portion, and I think it's just brilliant. Many shoes curve too far in above the heel and press into my Achilles (hello, Skechers) and this makes it a complete non-issue. Awesome design. Be aware: the Cemento color is NOT buff/bisque as it appears in the photo. It is a true cool medium grey (not beige in the slightest), which is what I was hoping for, so I adore them. Do an internet search and you'll see a few photos that are more true to color. They're super cute. Overall, I think the price is slightly too high considering the somewhat hard footbed with no arch support. The descriptions definitely had me expecting a cushier footbed. However, since it is quite difficult to find comfortable airy shoes that aren't open sandals, I can deal with it. I'm tempted to purchase a second pair in black, but the price is somewhat prohibitive.

Cute, my regular size 10 is way too large, very little support.

Seems like it would be a great shoe, but it is cut too high for me.

I wear a 9.5. The 9.5 was too big and I exchanged it for 9 and the length was fine but shoe is too wide.

cute shoes but not enough arch support. I had high hopes for these but without the arch support my foot would be fatigued.

I love Zappos. Your website is friendly and easy to navigate. The speedy delivery and customer service is outstanding. The Mephisto Niro Allrounders I ordered fit well and look great. They provide moderate arch support and they are fine for a few hours out and about, but I probably won't wear for them long walks.

I have been nuts about comfortable red shoes and have tried a lot of styles and brands. Finally, I thought I would spring for the famous holy grail of comfort shoes: Mephisto. I ordered two sizes because other reviews said not to size up (as I have been doing for most shoes). Yeah, not that generous in length, but if you go for the larger size they'll be roomy enough for socks -- and I don't think the liner feels so great barefoot. The structure of these obviously has more general support than many sandals, but I'm looking right at them, and there is no arch support, just a tiny blip in the liner. In go the orthotics.

I bought this shoe to work in, but it does not have enough support, especially in the front of the shoe. I will keep it for casual wear though. They are a nice pair of shoes but I wouldn't buy any more of them.

I bought these shoes for my daily commute which involves a 1 mile walk each way. These are much cuter than sneakers and much more comfortable than my other casual shoes. I can wear them with pants and skirts with and without socks/stockings. I think that they run a bit large and also wide. The width is one of the biggest problems for me because I cannot tighten the velcro closure enough for an optimal fit. I also think that these shoes are pricey.

Shoe is easy on and off, but it is a bit too roomy (and I don't have a narrow foot). It also looks kind of clunky, like it is a size larger than it is. It's very comfortable to walk in; I bought it for summer walking in the city and mountains. If I could, I'd get a half size smaller next time. Otherwise it's a pretty good walker.

I need a vacation shoe that will be comfortable all day and good for walking over all sorts of terrain. I like these a great deal, though I'm not a big fan of camouflage. They don't breathe and I think work better with socks. I had to go down half a size to get the right fit and they run a little wide.

Not up to expected Mephisto quality...pricey for what it is, the materials used and construction of the shoe. The removable insert that is supposed to provide cushioning was really thin and did not cushion my feet at all. I could feel cobblestones under my feet. I needed to add my own additional layer of cushioning material, but to do that I needed to go up 1/2 size. Once my own additional cushioning was added, the shoe was comfortable and I wore them out of the box for several weeks of walking and light hiking around China. Two strap system was nice for adjusting shoes for hiking up and down hills. Nice wide base for foot stability. I thought Mephisto used to be made in France, these are made in China, so not sure why they cost so much.

In my experience, the mapping from European to US sizes is highly variable (and therefore frustrating to me the customer). I wear a perfect size 11B. Mephisto mapped this to a Euro41 but these are too short by one size. The tricky part is, different manufactures have different mappings!

These are really cute, but not nearly as comfortable as I hoped they would be for the price and the name brand. More of a hanging out shoe than a serious walking shoe--which is OK, except I didn't need to spend a lot on something like this. There is virtually NO cushioning on the insole. The sole is relatively good, and the rest of the shoe is very comfy. Just not nearly enough padding for walking, which is what I really bought them for.
