Customer Reviews Mephisto Helen

Most comfortable sandal - This is the best sandal I've tried--absolutely comfortable and a great fit.

Mephisto Helens - I've worn these sandals for several years, I buy another color or two every year and wear them until the snow flies. I've had at least 6 pairs and love them all. People always tell me that they like my sandals. They're a little pricey, but better than the shoes that are uncomfortable and sit in the closet unworn. I hope they never quit making them!

The best sandal I've ever worn. This is my 4th pair of this sandal, I love the look and especially the comfort. This last pair was black patent wish is dressier but with same familiar comfort. I won't wear any other sandal.

Mephisto Helen - I generally buy Birkenstock's, but tried this Mephisto sandal because my favorite Birkenstock style, which is similar, is not available in black. The Mephisto is a different fit, a slimmer contour than the Birkenstock (which I still like), but the Mephisto has extra arch support and more padding which make it a very comfortable "walking sandal". I have since bought it in other colors. Overall-- a great sandal for both style and comfort.

Great Shoes! Mephisto's Helen are wonderful shoes from the moment you slide your feet into them. The leather thong, particularly between the toes, takes a few wearings to break in so expect that the leather will feel a bit tough at first. The sole is great - I have rheumatoid arthritis - and can wear these shoes for hours in the summer - very good cushion on the sole.

I love my new sandals. Firstly, I should note that I ordered these shoes on a Tuesday evening and received them the next day even though I used 'standard shipping'. Secondly, I just want to say that it took under two days to break-in these sandals. They're very comfortable, and less clunky than Birkenstocks.

"H" is for me! Any Mephisto shoe that begins with "H" has a footbed that fits me PERFECTLY. I especially like this style because the shoe does not flip-n-flop when walking. I have 7 pairs (4 styles) of "H" footbed sandals and this style is by far my favorite. I have the Helen sandals in red and black patent leather. They look so "summery" which is a plus living in South Florida.

I can stand up all day PAIN FREE!~ I am an avid fan of Birkenstock, but couldn't really find the style I wanted. These Mephisto are WONDERFUL. They are actually comfortable on the first day of wear. (Birks take a while to "break in"). I am pregnant and stand up all day (8 -10 hrs) for work. These shoes have ended my daily pain and helped me not be so cranky!

Mephisto Helen a great shoe - I have 2 pair of Mephisto Helens and will probably buy more colors.

THE BEST!!!! I usually wear Birkenstocks because I have heel spurs, but when I couldn't find the style I liked, I saw these and decided to try them. I haven't had ONE PAIN in my heels since I've been wearing them and they are really pretty on your feet, too. I bought three colors, too...white, black and the dark brown...just love them!! Now I just ordered the Beka for the fall. I'm looking forward to trying them next.

These shoes are the greatest! I had a car accident three years ago and suffered nerve damage. I have orthotics in my other shoes, but I don't need them in my Helen's! The arch support is wonderful. I can walk for five miles and suffer no leg pain! They are great!

great value - These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I am now on my third pair of Mephisto Helen's. Not only are they comfortable, they last forever. They may seem a bit pricey at first, but over the course of their life they are not expensive at all.

Way comfortable - This Mephistos sandal really works for me. They are stand-on-your-feet-comfortable-all-day shoes. The "Helen" is pretty cute...not too old lady looking like some styles of Mephistos.

most versatile shoes - When I went on two week tropical vacation these were the only shoes I took. I didn't need any others.

I like these sandals very much. They have a terrific footbed, with good arch support, and are better than most similarly-styled shoes for a narrow foot. However, it would be nice if they came in narrow, as I do slip a bit in them. The service from Zappos was great--they came overnight!

Was afraid of purchasing a thong sandal because I thought the "toe thing" would be uncomfortable. I took a chance on the Mephisto Helens because I heard how incredibly comfortable they are and sure enough I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to wear them all day long the very first day and the "piece" between my toes did not bother me at all! I now have them in four different colors and wear them each and everyday. My Birkenstocks, which I used to wear faithfully, are sitting in my closet gathering dust! Love the look of the Helens!!!

Great comfortable sandals -

Wonderful sandal- The best and most comforable sandal in the world.

Granola Glam - I choose this shoe as I have a bad back and have had to say goodbye to my heeled shoes and sandals. Buying it in gold seems to have negated the "granola-ish" look by adding a bit of pizazz. Shoe is comfortable, but a bit narrower than I thought. I would buy it in silver if it was available.

Great shoes! I love wearing flip-flops but was looking for a shoe with more support & style, but still casual. I found it in the Helen. Great shoe -- love the camel color - it goes with everything.

Joan's review - I have had 2 other Mephisto's Helens and loved them...they fit my size 12 feet and give me support besides being so comfortable...

Best Ever - I am now wearing my second pair, the first lived thru four summers in Michigan with all the weir weather we have. I wore them in rain, 90 degree weather with 90% humidity. They held up to all the abuse I could possibly give them.

My new favorite shoe - Superior arch support and cushioning make these sandals comfortable for all-day wear right from the box. I needed a full size larger than usual due to the raised edge of the cork insole toe box. They've quickly become my favorite sandals.

The only problem I had was in adjusting to the toe strap on right shoe and left first toe. It was necessary to use a small band aid to eliminate "rubbing" which had caused skin irritation the first couple of times I wore the shoes.

The Most Comfortable For Everyday Wear - I adore the Helen. Bought my first pair three years ago (they are now my garden sandals) and have just purchased pairs #4 & #5. The feel like you are going barefooted, but with great support. Zappos customer service is really fantastic - they will bend over backwards to meet you every need! Thank You Zappos!!!
