My favorite shoe! I have several pairs of this shoe--have worn out 3 pair. I only wish I could wear them year long. They are perfect for my narrow foot and high arch.

Mephisto Helen - I LOVE Mephisto Helen shoes. I have been looking for stylish and comfortable sandals for a long time and now I think I do not need to look anymore for the style but only a new color of Helen. The arch support of these shoes is amazing, after wearing them the whole day long my feet do not hurt. I got so many compliments from shoe-sellers to my sky blue/navy blue waxy pair. I thought it was pretty interesting that people who sell shoes in our area asked me where I found my Mephisto. Thank you Zappos for an excellent service, my shoes were sent priority mail free, I had them in 2 days after placing my orders. Also the return free shipping and processing the return on your side is great.

Product review - The shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes I have. I wear them all summer, except in the rain. They are not waterproof. That is the only way they could improve them.

Love this Sandal - A great shoe that is comfortable the minute you put it on. It seems a little narrow at the toe box area but I have a wide foot so who knows about that. I would definately order it again. I would order anything from Zappos as I have never had such excellent customer service from an internet shoe store! The customer service folks are wonderful!

I own the Helen by Mephisto and have for years. Another great shoe your feet will love.

Just bought my second pair of Helen's - Most comfortable sandal I have ever owned. I have narrow feet and had to eventually punch an extra hole in the strap, but even after they soften up they fit and stay on the foot. Much better than Birkenstocks. Glad to see they have lots of fans and lots of colors. The Elka is also comfortable but the Helen is best!

They look great; however, until you break them in (not long) they are a little uncomfortable.

Mephisto Helen - Years ago I happened to try on a pair of these sandals and have found them to be the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. Even in the winter, I wear them as much as I can as they are the only shoes I have found that don't hurt my feet and cause my legs to tire. I own every color they have ever had and only wish more colors were available and that somehow, the same comfort for my feet could be found in their other styles.

Love these shoes! This is my third pair of the Helen style. I've had my original black patent pair rebuilt twice, I love them so much. They're the only sandals I wear in the summer. I'd love more colors!

Mephisto "Helen" I have worn Mephisto sandals before in this style. They are so comfortable, and I had no break-in at all. The arch support is what I really love about Mephisto. The waxy red color is just that sort of a low sheen to it. I was a little startled at first, but really like the color. It is not fire engine red, but more of a brick red.

Helen Mephisto's - I suffer from plantar faciitus and didn't want to be stuck in running shoes all summer, so I set out to do some sandal shopping. After reading excellent review after excellent review on this shoe, I bought my first pair of Mephistos ever (my first time from Zappos.com too). I am soooo pleased! They fit like a glove (I usually wear a 7.5, but the 7 fits great) and have formed to my foot so well that my pain is gone! Well worth the money, intimidating as it is. I can't wait to buy another pair!

Raves in Red - This is my second pair of patent leathter RED Helen Mephisto sandals. I have worn the first pair for 6-7 years and decided I had to have another pair. I love the patent leather, I wear them to work with skirts, pants, capris, shorts everything. Red is my favorite color and so the patent leather makes them that much dressier and people really notice them. I could stand forever in them and they are so comfortable, the arch fits right up under your arch. I normally wear 8-8 1/2 and I ordered size 39. I highly recommend this sandal.

Healing Shoes!! Many years ago, maybe 5, I began having problems with plantar faciaitis. I was told I would have to have cortisone shots if it did not get better with motrin, and if all else failed I would have to have surgery. By chance, while walking thru Nordstroms one day, I tried on a pair of white Helens, and voíla! I was completely without pain for the first time in months. I bought that pair on the spot and have purchased 3 more pair over the years. I love and depend on them. I will continue to purchase as many pair as I can afford and I will spread the word to all my baby-boomer pals with foot problems! Bravo, Mephisto!!

Best sandals ever! I bought one pair of the Helen sandals and now own 3 pairs. I used to wear Birkenstocks alot but find that these are much more comfortable due to the padded footbed. I also like the fact that they are not so totally flat. I have a metallic leather, a patent leather and a nubuck pair--the only thing I will say is that the nubuck pair have a little bit softer straps and are little "floppier". All are super comfy! My feet are size 9 and some shoes are too narrow--like Naot sandals. These fit perfectly.

Loved it! It's difficult to find sandals with really good arch support. I have been delighted! I have plantar's fasciatis (sp?) and these are the first shoes I can wear all day! Can you believe it? A sandal no less. I think many folks might find it runs just a tad narrow. For me they're terrific. I'm buying another pair of Mephistos today.

Love these sandals! This is the second time I've bought these shoes. The first time was two years ago in NYC. It took me two years to wear them down, and I loved them so much I decided to buy the same exact kind for my trip to Europe this summer! I thought the toe thing would bug me at first, but it hasn't bugged me at all. Really comfortable.

Fabulous - Not only did these shoes arrive in one day, but after the initial breaking in period, they are probably the most comfortable sandals I've ever had, and they're definitely the coolest looking

I have this shoe and wear it daily. I have a very high arch and this is the only sandal I've been able to wear. They are not the most fashionable, but they are not bad. Also, they needed some adjustment- my foot is a little bit narrow.

Last June 1st I broke a toe and couldn't wear any shoe or sandal that touched that toe. This sandal was exactly what I needed. I wore one pair all day every day until October, and they still look and feel as good as the day I bought them.
