Customer Reviews Mephisto Match

The best walking shoe so far - I have 6 pair of mephisto shoes. They all are comforable but this particular pair is the best for long walks. Great fit, extremely light and not only absorbs shock but facilitates in lifting the foot while walking. Note: another great pair is the mephisto cobra sandals.

No break-in necessary. I ordered a second pair so I could wear them every day. The most comfortable shoe I have ever owned including other Mephisto models.

Perhaps the perfect shoe - I've many shoes: support shoes that I change when they feel too heavy , to light shoes that I change when lack of support's an issue. Why not always wear the Mephistos?: sometimes I need a steel toe. Otherwise, there may be no reason(but price)to wear anything else. My feet sit so well in Mephistos that I've fixed my technique with other shoes by imagining the Mephistos are on! NOTE: I wear 13 for most brands, but get the same fit from size 12 Mephistos.

Great Shoes - This is my second pair of Mephisto shoes. My first pair were worn every day for five years and were resoled twice. I hope to get the same service from these.

Foot Health With Mephisto Shoes - About six years ago I developed Plantar Fasciitis. My Doctor told me about simple excercises which did help a bit. It was not until a friend recommended that I visit Walking World. There I bought a pair of on older model of the Mephisto Match shoes. The pains of Plantar Fasciitis was cured in a period of days. I bought additional versions of Mephisto Shoes and had my Match set resoled about three times. Recently my foot problem came back. I thought it was it was time to get a new pair of Mephisto MATCH. Walking World no longer carries a large stock of Mephisto. It would take a couple of month to get a new pair. I went on the net and found Zappo which carried what I wanted. The shoes came in a short period of time and after a couple of weeks my foot problem is OK again. P.s. my Doctor bought Mephisto shoes himself after I told him about my experience. His wife and most of his relatives all bought Mephisto shoes. Recently he told me that he recommends Mephisto to his patients who complain about foot problems!

20 year old college student owns a pair. I'm a busy college student that was given this pair of shoes from my father. He found that his feet were too warm in them and gave them to me. I love these shoes, wair them almost everyday, unless it doesnt match my outfit, or its raining.

First pair of Mephisto's - Several months ago on a lark, who would ever pay $300+ for a pair of walkig shoes, I aquired a pair. What a great move! So good looking! So comfortable!. I asked my wife for another pair for my birthday! (insisted) gary Scott

Mephisto Match - While I was previously hesitant to spend in the $300 range for a walking shoe, I discovered the purchase is well worth the comfort it brings. I have flat feet with many problems. This shoe is roomy which accommodates my orthotic. While it is difficult to pinpoint why the shoe is so comfortable, it seems to be the cushining system built into the sole, as well as the fit and quality of the materials.

A Great Match - One of the most comfortable shoes in the line. A great travel shoe that can be dressed up or works for casual.

Where Has the Grey-Green Match Gone? I have owned three pair of Mephisto Match shoes (size 10.5, greyish green in color). I was told this morning (at Nordstrom's in Tyson's Corner, VA) that this shoe is no longer made and that they had the "same thing" in brown and black. I found these completely unacceptable. I don't particularly like brown or black, and I certainly don't like the fake leather patterns in these shoes. Does anyone still handle Match in the grey-green leather (10.5) style? Sincerely, C.W. Hart, Jr.

Solves Your Foot Pain - I have very high arches...the end result is that my body weight comes down on three points...The Mephisto Match helps me solve that problem beautifully...I still wear inserts in my shoes, but with Match, the build up of sole callouses and cramping is gone! I own two pair and plan to keep them as a staple for the rest of my life. They wear extremely well and are easy to keep looking nice.

MEPHISTO MATCH REVIEW - I already own a pair of the same shoe, so I knew what to expect when I ordered the new pair.

These shoes are easily the most comfortable I have ever worn when fresh out of the box. They are soft and conforming to my wide feet and high arches. I am amazed that both these and Eccos which are medium widths will fit me so well. The high cost is offset by the quality and fit for me.

My feet are tough to find a shoe that is comfortable. The Mephisto's Match are just great. I can wear them all day long without my feet hurting. At first, I thought the price was a little steep but the comfort level was worth every penny.

Best walking shoe made! Perfect fit!, great support, wide toe box, very durable! I've purchaced two pairs from Zappos and have been very satisfied with the service!

The basic walking shoe - This is my third pair of Mehpisto Match shoes. I have sensitive feet and I love to walk--these shoes are the most comfortable walking shoe made. I have walked all day in these shoes over city pavement and my feet are so thankful for the great structure of the mid and inner sole of this Mephisto shoe. They look great as an alternative to more athletic styled shoes. They only other walker that comes close to this in comfort is the Brooks Addiction, but these have more refined look.

The best walking shoe in the world! If you are a woman...with wide feet, try the men's sizes. I've been wearing Mephistos for the past 5 years. It started when I began walking and my feet were killing me; I have the flatest feet in the world. These shoes were heaven; I used the women's version for years (Mephisto Rush). As I put my feet through more strenous challenges, foot problem arose and I needed a wider shoe. I tried New Balance, Rockport and others, but nothing supports like the Mephisto. I bought the equivalent men's size and I'm in heaven again. I use them for my strength training workouts where I use very heavy weights, and the feet need room to move, but still need support. Other shoes just breakdown and soon are useless. These keep on supporting. The only downside of this shoe depends on the color you buy. When the insole is green, it rubs off on your socks. The white insoles don't do that(white shoes have white insoles). I highly recommend trying the shoes on for the right size in a store, then order them from Zappos for hassle free shopping. These shoes can be resoled for a nominal charge; I've done it with the suede finishes and they come back like new. No one paid me to say this; it's just my opinion! If you can afford them, you owe it to feet to have them :)

I now have three pairs of Mephistos. They're the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I walk at least two miles a day, on purpose.

I've had several styles of Mephisto shoes and my most recent purchase is a pair of Match shoes from Portugal. I decided to give them a chance, and I have not been disappointed! They do seem somewhat heavier than I remember, but the fit and craftsmanship are unequalled--even when compared to the shoes made in France. They fit perfectly with my orthotic and seem more comfortable for my feet than the shoes from France. I was going to go for another series of cortisone shots for my troublesome left foot, but these shoes have made my trip to the doctor unnecessary.

Have been wearing Mephisto shoes for ten years and find them to be the best for me in comfort,looks and durability. Have also sent two pairs back for new soles and have been very pleased.

Great shoes - Perfect fit and wonderful comfort.

I recently purchased a pair of Mephistos (although it took some soul searching to spend that much on shoes). To my delight, the transaction, shoes, and almost real-time delivery by Zappos were much more than expected. The fit was as if I had them customized, the quality unsurpassed; I am more than pleased. I would and will purchase this brand in the future from this site. While the cost may seem high, the quality and wearability more than offset the price (just ask my feet!). Thank you Zappos... we'll meet again.

Made in France is best - I recently purchased a pair that was made in Portugal. Not the same quality and feel as the ones made in France. Did Mephisto close the French factory? When walking on hardwood, there is a horrible squeak in the right shoe. I returned them for repair.

Great Shoe - I have had this shoe for about 7 years and it still is holding up like new. It is the most comfortable shoe I have.
