    These sandals are simply outstanding. Great fit and exceptionally comfortable. My second pair, by the way. Mephisto shoes can sometimes feel a bit too wide, but the Sams are perfect for a medium width foot. I have friends who also own them and have gotten more than 10 years worth of wear so far.

    I am a working woman in a sophisticated profession and am on my feet quite a lot. These are, by far, the best things I've ever had on my feet. Have tried many others and there is no comparison. I carry dressy shoes in the car for short wearing when necessary. But, I love the way these look. I feel very stylish and up to date. My children think I'm "cool". As to the cost--worth every penny, and they last a looooong time.

    Reviewer: Gerard from Melbourne , Australia

    I have purchased 2 pairs of Mephisto sandals; 1 open and 1 backstrap. Both pairs were immediately comfortable; no skin irritations, etc. Mephisto soles and straps are superbly crafted. The soles are well raised, avoiding the aches and tired feet which occur in flattish soles; can be worn for long daily periods without the discomfort/sweating which arises in many other brands. Mephisto footwear is expensive, but I need to have most comfortable footwear, as I am a diabetes 2 health case. I consider that the well crafted backstrap sandal may not have a "cool" enough look for the more upmarket dresser, but it is probable that most backstrap designs for males may not meet this criteria. I purchased my open sandals some two years ago and I have had great comfort and good casual personal presentation in wearing same, for long hours over most months during each year. Also, I believe these sandals will last (presentably) for quite some some years into the future.

    I was sure that the Mephisto's would be better and more comfortable. WOW! What a surprise. They are annoying to put on with a strap-type closure because you can't see the proper hole in the strap (why no Velcro closure?) In any event, I guess that they are OK, but simply OK.

    Of course these are great. I would be a moron to pay that much and tell you these suck.

    I wore this shoe almost exclusively when traveling in Bavaria for three weeks. Walked for miles in urban areas as well as the countryside without a problem and even kept them on the airplane. Extremely comfortable; I strongly recommnend them.

    Reviewer: Vince from Pennsylvania
    Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
    For many years, I have worn sandals year round; this kind of use is only possible with a very high quality sandal that is extremely comfortable. The Mephisto Sam is hands down the best everyday, all day, sandal I have ever worn.Many athletic shoes, e.g. New Balance walking shoes, have become increasingly narrower than indicated; I cannot wear a Medium in a New Balance walking shoe after being on my feet for a while, because of tightness from mild swelling. I can wear the Mephisto Sam in Medium width all day long with no discomfort at all--the width is more than adequate. In addition, the arch support and sole comfort is simply outstanding--my feet have not hurt AT ALL in the Mephisto Sam, and this is the ONLY sandal or shoe of the many I have worn (including Ecco, Clark's, etc.) that I can say this for. I was initially reluctant to purchase the Mephisto Sam because of the price; however, after having tried them and then lived with them, I am absolutely convinced they're worth it and have purchased additional colors to give me some variety. On top of all this, to my taste they are the best-looking Fisherman's style sandal I have ever seen.

    This is by far the best sandals I ever had. Soft and comfortable, yet sturdy. Like a Land Rover.
