Sam

Wore this same Mephisto fisherman's sandal for years, served me well. Time to replace, ordered another pair but the construction changed. Strap across the top of foot is about 3/4" shorter, the holes are farther away from the tip, and the metal buckle is placed a bit lower on its tab, thus not enough strap length to buckle closed over my admittedly high foot. Very disappointing as this sandal in its previous format worked fine. Returning for refund.

I ordered these for my dad - when I asked him how many stars he would give them out of 5, he said he’d give them 6 :-) He said they’re very comfortable and I think they’re pretty attractive (as far as mandals go...). The only issue he had was size, we read that they ran large and ordered 2 sizes - my dad is normally a 10 and felt that the 42 fit best.

Mephisto sandals were my favorite for years. Then, they stopped doing this design for women. I decided that I might try the men's sandal...YAY!! I wear a size 9, so I got a men's size 7. They're a little wider than the women's sandal was, but it's fine for me. They feel great.

Had wonderful previous experience with this same brand/sandal but this pair lost any sense of padding and comfort within months.

Good quality

The Mephisto Sam sandals have been an excellent purchase. Although they are not cheap, I believe they are worth every penny. Sizing is true to size, the straps provide a perfect fit and excellent support, and the comfort is just great with well-cushioned soles that absorb shocks perfectly. I've worn my previous pair for years, and wear these day in day out for about 4 miles everyday, with and without socks. Additionally, the stylish design is a plus, they are versatile enough for both casual and slightly formal occassions. Bottomline, these sandals make me happy and are an investment you won't regret!

The Mephisto Sam sandals have been a fantastic purchase. While they’re not the cheapest option, I truly believe they’re worth every penny. They fit true to size, with straps that offer a snug fit and outstanding support. The comfort level is exceptional, thanks to the cushioned soles that absorb impact beautifully. My last pair lasted me for years, and I now wear these daily, covering about 5 miles each day, both with and without socks. Plus, their stylish design makes them versatile enough for casual wear and even semi-formal occasions. Overall, these sandals bring me a lot of satisfaction—an investment I’d recommend to anyone!

Felt a half size larger. Great soft textured leather sandal. Great style. Nice dark gray footbed matching the black leather allowing for black sock wear or not. My reason for return, unfortunately, is that the arch isn't in the right place for my foot.

Gorgeous and well built but finding the strap with a hole on the outside of ankle is rough. This detail is almost a dealbreaker.

Lovely styling and great fit. Very classy.
