These shoes are a bit clunky looking, but I was seeking shoes that would work with a new brace that needs a shoebed that can be adjusted so that one foot is adjusted narrower and the brace foot is bigger. The adjustable heel strap, the removable insert and the wide toe box with adjustable top strap made this work for me. It is a very stable shoe and looks good with jeans.

I really loved the style of these shoes on the website. I usually wear a size 7M. I ordered blue in 37. I loved the color but the shoes are not as comfortable as i hoped for. First my toe is touching so it is definitely a half size smaller, and also there is no cushioning. For the price I would have hoped that I would be walking on the clouds if it came in half sizes may be I would have considered ordering a different size, but no luck there. They are returning back. The color is so beautiful.

I really wanted these shoes to work out. Unfortunately, I had to send them back. The size was considerably larger than other Mephisto styles I have bought and loved. Also on this one particular style, the printed material, which looks adorable, seems a bit rough and I could feel that with walking, would rub my heel. I do love the high quality of Mephisto and I have several pair, one of which I bought a couple years ago styled very similar to this, but the lining was a soft leather, not the scratchy material I found this one to have.

I tried The Niro by Mephisto a year ago in a size 36, Recently saw this shoe came in smaller sizes (35.5 & 35) So I thought I would try again, Unfortunately, had to return as the support in these shoes is really lacking for my problem feet! I ordered a 35.5 which is my true size and they fit great. Due to very problem feet, I need a lot of support for walking any length of time and these Niro's simply do not deliver for support. I loved the look! So sad they did not work for me on a second try, my search continues for a casual shoe for lots of walking! Going to put on my Brooks Addiction and walk a few miles! Thank you Zappos for your exemplary customer service!

I have been wearing this shoe for years! I wear orthotics and they fit right in, even with my wide feet! They look cute with or without socks so they can be worn with jeans or capris! The only complaint is that the souls wear out very quickly, considering the price I would have liked them to be more durable!

Good shoe, not as comfortable for me as the Nira. I bought a pair of each for a trip to Europe. I had to wear an ankle support brace, the shoes felt a little tight and for my foot did not have as good support as the Nira, but I did not have a chance to break them in and did not get any sores or blister after wearing them around Paris in the rain.

I love Mephistos! However this pair did not work out for me. I wanted an all around shoe that I could use in all types of weather. The photo of this shoe did not show that the top of the shoe is open. I'm not fond of wet feet and they would not be useful in rainy weather. Sadly, I am returning them as I planned to wear them to Europe during the months of February-May. There is both snow and rain during that time and I need a true "all around" shoe.

After inserting Dr. Scholl pads, these shoes are ultra comfortable. But without the pads, there is very little support. So even though I now have a 5 star comfort level, I'm deducting 1 star for the shoe itself. The shoes are really cute. I would buy a second pair if they were available in brown.

I loved the way the shoe looks but I had to add an insert for more arch support since I have trouble with fallen arches. Hopefully, they will now work out.

I am a perfect 8.5 - have been for over 60 years. This shoe was pretty, but too small. My big toes hit the toe box.

I am enjoying the Allrounder Mephisto. It took a while to become satisfied with the weight, but now feel it serves as more of a support system and I tend to wear them walking, working out and even around the house. Memhisto is not always my favorite brand in spite of all the hype they receive, but I have to say. This is a winner!

These shoes did not have the arch support that I needed, but purchased insoles that work fine. I love Zappos and realize how easy it is to return things had I decided to.

The back kept rubbing my ankle even when I loosened the strap. It just hits too high. I know with a lot of use it will irritate my ankle so I need to return these. It is unfortunate because otherwise they were comfortable and easily fit my orthotics.

A very nice all-around shoe and it fits true-to-size and is comfortable enough to wear/walk during an eight hour work day. My only negative is that the shoe feels a little hard when I put it on without socks; this is somewhat unfortunate given the high price.

I bought these shoes due to the fact that I have heel spurs. I was told by my father in law in Germany that the shoes worked for his heel spurs.I actually feel that the shoes hurts my spurs but this may be due to the fact that the spurs on the bottom of my heel are very sharp. I need to give the shoes time, and also the spurs. I do know that the shoe is a well fit shoe. has a great adjusting strap, and the color green is very lovely. I have had many people come up to me just to compliment the shoe!

These Mephistos are my first pair. I was encouraged by the cute, very stylish look and the favorable reviews concerning comfort. As mentioned they run a bit big according to the reviews so I ordered 1/2 size down and made the correct choice. They also run a bit wide but they fit me fine and I\'m very happy with my purchase. I would like to purchase another pair as there are so many choices of colors. I would recommend these shoes to anyone considering them.

This light red is really orange. I bought my first pair of this style 4 1/2 years ago. The first and second pairs were true to size. The third and fourth are at LEAST a size larger than marked. I'm returning and ordering down a full size. Why would the last change? I don't know but something sure did.

These shoes are very good for traveling. I am very sorry they have discontinued this particular combination of b&w patent and fabric, as I would purchase another pair if possible. A clerk in a shoe store said she suggests this shoe to everyone for traveling. We have just returned from a 2-week trip to the Northwest, and I would totally agree with that recommendation. With my arch I can really only wear Chacos, but they have stopped making enclosed shoes, and I needed something to wear in the rain. I purchased some ball-of-foot cushions (at Walmart!) and placed them in the arch to get it high enough for my feet. (It is already higher than most, but not sufficient for my extremely high arch.) It worked very well. I am going to purchase more colors.

Great shoes for walking. They seem to run wide. They fit my prescription foot inserts beautifully. They are well worth the money.

This Mephisto shoe is a good shoe for short to moderate walking distances, and it provides average support for my feet. It is a fun-style shoe and great to wear around the house and out to the stores. I feel that I got my money's worth with this shoe. Thanks to Zappos, the world's fastest shipper, and thanks to the best shoe store in the world too...Zappos.

A cool shoe (for your mother)-
I have to admit I have a slightly narrower foot than 'Medium' width, and that is my main problem with these shoes; while my feet are 8.5/9.0, the ankle strap does not allow me to adjust tightly enough to secure around my narrow ankle size.
As far as flexibility, I would have to disagree with those who say it is not flexible enough. I found the front half of the shoe to be quite flexible for walking (not at all stiff).

Almost perfect -
These shoes were recommended to me as something that would accommodate my normal-width forefoot, super narrow heels, and orthotics. They work great for me; my only complaint is that I wish they had a bit more depth in the toes to accommodate my mild hammertoes. I can only wear these with my custom orthotics which stop just before the toes, giving me more room in the toes. These shoes are too tight in the toes if I wear them with the included insoles or a full-length orthotic. However, the next 1/2 size larger is too big everywhere else! Otherwise these shoes seem to run true to size for me. They are also fairly flexible -- I can't walk in really stiff shoes! I cannot comment on the arch support since most shoes don't have enough support to even touch my super-high arches!

Love it - wish 1 thing -
I love the looks and comfort of this shoe - but wish the soles were a bit more spongy. I am taking on my first trip with me so hope they are not too hard for long walks.

Disappointed in the Niro -
This is my 4th pair of Niros. I believe there has been a decline in quality of some of the materials used. I have always worn them barefoot in the warm months and never had a problem. Now I am experiencing chafing under the tongue (don't know if this is the right term) and the outer ankle area. In checking my old pairs, I think the material used to stitch the suede outer cover with the inner material is at fault. It is much stiffer and scratchy. I find that the Mephisto walking shoe, "Lanny" is much much better (also much more costly), although it is slightly heavier.
