love these!
So much more comfortable for me than birks… can wear all day and my feet don’t kill me. I have multiple styles & all are great

Uncomfortable
My favorite shoes ever were a pair of Mephisto mule sandals. They were supremely comfortable--soft leather, support so good you could run in them, and an ergonomic fit that made walking for miles a pleasure. Not so with these. If you're expecting the Mephistos you used to know and love, you'll be sorely disappointed. You can take "sorely" literally. These are uncomfortable, with hard leather that bites into your skin and a shape that shoves your feet into unnatural contortions. Such a shame for what used to be an exceptional product!

You Can't Go Wrong With Mephisto
Mephistos are a great solution for those of us looking for a well made sandal. Had these been available in the black patent shown, I would have kept them, but the bright gold I received which is described as Light Sand are a bit too flashy for my taste. Nordstrom buyers, please feel free to restock these in Black Patent if it's possible to do so in these days and times.

Best sandles
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the fit and the suade straps, these are comfortable from the first wearing. Wish there were more color choices in suade sandles, as much as I like these the color had a bit more green to it, described as taupe I thought it would be more beige.

If you like the look of Birkenstocks, but can’t wear them these are the sandals for you. They have more arch support than Birkenstocks and are so comfortable. I bought the Hesters in black and now going to buy the tan suede ones. I love the gold buckles.

Very stiff suede
I bought these in suede expecting them to be comfortable right out of the box but that wasn't the case. I've never had a pair of suede shoes give me blisters! The suede is very stiff. I hope they break in and get softer.
Mephisto response
Thak you for reviewing the HESTER sandal. We're sorry to hear that our suede shoes didn't meet your comfort expectations. Please contact our customer service team, for a solution at 615-771-5900.
