The delivery was perfect. I have a pair of Mephisto sandals that are incredibly comfortable and light, and I have looked at various Mephisto shoes in retail stores which were also light. These shoes I feel are much too heavy. My fault as I did not catch it before I ordered. They are very comfortable to stand in, but after wearing them four times and walking about six miles total, they are not comfortable to walk in. I hope they will eventually break in. I asked Mephisto for an exchange, but as I had walked outside with them they declined my request. I am 6’, 200 lbs, size 12, and want to be able to walk in the city up to 5 miles per day. These shoes will I expect hold up, but just not comfortable to walk in, and heavy. Size was perfect, fit well, workmanship seems great, just clunky to walk in.

I have owned Mephisto’s for 3 decades - casual and dress shoes. I used to love them, but the quality has changed. The last two pairs I bought were to be used for urban walking. We were visiting cities and I wanted a comfortable shoe that would look good in a city - not a pair of sneakers. I like the look of this pair. Here are my issues with both pairs - they squeak / make noise when walking and have worn out much quicker than expected. I will send them for your re-furbishment as I like their look, but I have become surprised and disappointed. I have a pair of dress wing tips that I bought over ten years ago that I love and are what I have known Mephisto’s to be - solid, comfortable durable. Something has changed. Maybe you have different levels of quality - that would make sense.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my shoes! They're incredibly comfortable and so beautiful. Unfortunately, the heel of one of them is starting to detach. Could you please advise on how to proceed? I'm happy to send you a picture of the issue and would appreciate any guidance on how to handle this. Thank you!

At this price, the leather could be a bit more supple and forgiving, but after a few hours of wear the shoes are nicely broken in. They wear very comfortably after a few days. The outsoles are supportive and the insoles are nicely cushioned. I like the clean, simple style of this shoe, with minimal stitching. I haven't polished them yet but I suspect they will shine nicely with a little Saphir. Overall, they are wonderful shoes and I would highly recommend.

The shoes are great. The order was cumbersome, though. Initially they didn't arrive after 2 weeks. So I had to claim a refund and reorder. Then the shoes arrived -- but from the original order! I was billed again -- but recovered the second set of shoes and returned them to the store and promptly received the second refund. I usually wear a size 8-1/2. These were designated as 7-1/2 to 8 -- but they fit right.

Nordstrom sent me in the box two different shoes. One was black the other brown. One with laces the other a slip on. What kind of an idiot packs your stuff? I had to drive to a Nordstrom store to return it in person because I don't trust Nordstrom to process the return property. I will NEVER order anything from you again.
