Customer Reviews Allrounder by Mephisto Niro

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.

Nice shoe, but I needed half size smaller than usual

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.

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.

Love the look - but not a fit for narrow heels - I read the other reviews before I ordered these shoes. Several comments were made about the cut of the heel being wide - I should have respected those, but I love the look of this shoe! Plus, I have several pair of Mephisto sandals and have been so happy with them. So, I ordered, but I had to return. It's true, the heel is a bit wide. There is a velcro adjustment at the heel, but it wasn't enough for me. So sad am I - they are beautiful shoes and no doubt wear very well provided they fit you right. Thank goodness for Zappos free shipping and return policy. This experience won't stop me from ordering again and again.

I was really hoping to keep this shoe because I was looking for a supportive shoe that didn't look like a tennis shoe for a walking trip through Europe. The look of the Allrounder was great but I just couldn't get a comfortable fit. I tried 3 different sizes. The heel seemed to be especially difficult. No matter how much I tightened it, my heel kept rubbing or slipping out. I did like the arch support and the Allrounder's light weight. As always, Zappos was great handling the return.

The shoes are actually quite pretty. Arch support was needed as it did not provide enough. The shoes also ran a bit bigger than my regular size 8. The orthotics I inserted made them fit perfectly.

Sporty Style + Amazing Comfort = happy feet - I adore my pair - especially after spending 10 days in them at Orlando, FL theme parks. I bought these because I wanted a fun style with good support and the Allrounder delivers on both counts. The arch support and cushioning comfort are fabulous: I was on my feet 10+ hours a day, in awful heat & humidity, and my feet never ached. Note: slightly wide fit for those with narrow feet, especially in the toe area. STILL A GREAT LOOKING SHOE, WITH FABULOUS COMFORT & SUPPORT.

Close, but couldn't keep it. Really wish I could have made this shoe work. Very cute and fun styling. Extremely comfortable and love the adjustment straps--can make the shoes work to fit my feet no matter what time of day or what kind of beating they've already taken. However, on these wide, flat feet, I couldn't get past the tight feeling across the toe of the shoe. Diabetes rules and, therefore, these shoes can't be in my repertoire. Sorry to have to send them back--wish they came in wide width.
