Customer Reviews Mephisto Helen

Favorite shoe ever! I bought these shoes because they had been recommended to me by a friend. I wear them almost everyday and could not ask for a more comfortable shoe! I have traveled in them, walked miles in them, and have been in all kinds of weather in them and they are still in great condition! When they eventually wear down, I will most definitely buy them again!

Support & Comfort - Great arch support...actually relieved heel pain and toe pain associated with arthritis.

A real fan! This is my 5th pair of Mephistos Helen. They will replace the pair I ruined walking all over Italy last summer. I've been living in this shoe for years because of its comfort and still get compliments on its good looks.

Mephisto Helen Rocks! Simply the most comfortable sandal I have ever owned for wearing over a long period of time. I can walk all day with no foot pain!

Happy Feet - I had this shoe in 4 colors; went to the shoestore to get it in red, and was told they are no longer available; went to Mephisto on line and was told the same thing...went to Zappos and they had 3 pair left...so I got my red!

Best Sandal Ever - The Mephisto Helen is the best shoe or sandal I have ever worn. I have very wide feet with a very high arches, so finding a sandal that is comfortable AND supportive while looking great has been a godsend. I also have arthritis in my feet-these sandals make it possible to look stylish and not hurt. In November I broke my left foot and now have a 2" screw in my foot-I can still wear these since they adjust. I have 15+ pairs of these Helen sandals-every color I can get. In November, Mephistos resoling company totally re-did 3 of my oldest pairs. I can put these next to my new ones and I cannot tell the difference. Try them.

Fantastic Slipper - This is a great slipper. Very comfortable. I bought a size up as was recommended and the fit was excellent. I think I will get a few more colors. Well done Zappos on the deliver.

Size - I find I have to order a size smaller than my normal size. I wear a 6 shoe, but buy the Helens in a 35.

My fourth pair... My first pair of Helen's I bought maybe 7 or 8 years ago. They are a wonderful fit with just the right support for my foot. I could walk in them all day and still be comfortable. I still have all of my "Helen's", when it is warm, I put them on the first thing in the morning as slippers and keep them as long as appropriate. I did buy a size larger than my others. I could wear the same size but the next size up was more comfortable. I find the nubuck to be more comfortable. They last for years... A good value!

Mephisto Helen - Hands-down, THE most comfortable shoes I've ever worn... and they look great. What's not to love? I wear a lot of Dansko and Birkenstocks, but slipping my feet into the Helen sandals is the epitome of podiatric heaven! I'm slowly building my inventory one color at a time.

Always dependable - I have this style shoe in so many colors and materials. It's a great shoe for folks with lower back problems. The support is just great. I will continue to buy them as long as Mephisto makes them!

This is the fifth pair of these sandals I've bought in various colors. They've got to have the most comfortable footbed on the planet. I enjoy them all year round here in Southern California--indoors on the tile floor in winter & outdoors in summer. I truly recommend them to all.

Fantastic!!! I love these sandals and have three pairs in different colors. They are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. They are even more comfortable then my Berkies. The size and width are right on the money. And the over all look is elegant.

The perfect shoe - This shoe has it all. Amazingly comfortable, very stylish, and wonderful support. I have a tendency toward plantar fasciitis, so the support is critical. I did take Mephistos advice and ordered one full size up (I ordered a 9, usually wear 8) and they fit perfectly!

Mephisto's Helen - I have very hard feet to fit and that give me good arch support and comfort. These are perfect. I am always afraid of shoes that don't have a strap on the back, so I use them for around the house, kind of as slippers. However, the are wonderful for my feet, very supportive and look very nice.

Very comfortable shoe even for wide feet. I bought these one size larger than my normal shoe size and they fit and feel wonderful. After only a few wears they feet well broken in and molded to my feet. Since living in Hawaii and wearing mostly open shoes my feet have widened and it is often an issue finding a shoe that is wide enough to be comfortable. This shoe is great in that regard. I don't know if I can ever go back to other sandals after feeling the support this shoe offers. I will definitely buy this shoe again. It also looks good on my feet - casual but stylish. I also want to say that Zappos is just super to deal with. So easy to shop for shoes, particularly out here in the middle of the Pacific we no decent shoe stores on this island.

My favorite shoe - I own about 10 pairs of these and wear them constantly. Ever since I got heel spurs I have to wear shoes at all times. These double as my house shoes and I can wear them anywhere. I stay with the same size but I have both 38s and 39s in my closet. The only con I had with these is some of the fancier colors, silver, and gold, had stiffer leather, and I could tell it at the toe part. I love these shoes!

Great fit and feel - I love my new Mephistos. This shoe is comfortable and supportive. I have problems with pronation of my feet and it has really helped. I am not waking up in pain in the AM. I strongly recommend this shoe. If you have an excessively wide foot, it would probably be too narrow. Mine just fit.

Only sandals I will wear - Mephisto sandals are pretty much ALL I wear. I am a person who prefers NOT to wear shoes at all. The Helen's are so comfortable, it is like not having shoes on. I don't have any problems with the edge irritating my feet, and my feet don't get sore if I wear them for a long period of time. I don't see me buying any other kind of sandal as long as I can keep getting my Mephisto Helen's!

Fantastic fit! I've just ordered my third pair of "Helen"... The comfort is excellent...the fit is glove hugging good...the look is simple... I ordered my regular size and its fine!

The Greatest - I have 2 pairs of Mephisto sandals, 1 pair of tennis type, and 2 pair of chukka type boots. All Mephisto. They are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I tried the B---k sandal and they left blisters on my feet. Mephisto is the best as far as style, comfort, and fit. I have 3 more pair picked out I am think of getting.

Walk for miles in MY HELEN MEPHISTOS - I have flat feet-my legs tire easily when walking-BUT NEVER in this MEPHISTO HELEN. The arch is perfect for my feet. I normally wear an 8 or 8 1/2 and it is always a 39 in this shoe. I have 8 pairs and continue to purchase them. Nothing has ever felt this good. I wish that the base came with another style above so I had a variety other than in color. LOVE the feel of being totally comfortable.

Great for travel! I tried on about a dozen pairs of sandals (other Mephisto, Dansko, Clarks) looking for a comfortable, stylish shoe to wear on vacation and these were the winners. They provide excellent support and the adjustable strap holds the foot in nicely. I walked all day, every day for five days and never felt any pain or fatigue in my feet. The gold iguana ones are pretty enough to wear with dressier pants and casual skirts and dresses, but also look great with shorts or jeans. Thanks Zappos for letting me try and try again until I found the perfect shoes!

Great sandal! I love these sandals! Comfy from the start and good for walking. Mine are black patent leather which looks a bit more "dressy"- but I also have them in brown leather- great for everyday. I should have tried Mephistos sooner! Note: Don't be tempted to get a smaller size- your toes may rub against the slightly raised edges!

OMG this sandal is BETTER than bedroom slippers. Once it conforms to your foot, you are set. I have flat feet, but I can go forever (all day at a theme park or sightseeing) no problem. Do yourself a favor, buy a HELEN by Mephisto -- finest walking shoe is true!
