Mephisto Women's Helen Thong Sandals

These sandals are the best I've ever owned for support and quality. They are comfortable for all-day wear while being stylish and versatile. They run true to size.

Such a perfect fit! These sandals are all day comfortable & attractive too!

Love these sandals! Ordered them for a trip to Italy. They were broke in within a week. I typically wear an 8.5 US. Ordered the 38 Euro and they fit perfectly. Nice leather and comfortable. Very happy with these shoes.

I've always wanted these and was excited to find them on Amazon, specially on sale. I purchased these in black as well as the navy. For some weird reason the navy pair are more comfortable than the black. I love the navy color, never had an issue with the piece between the toes, the heel and arch support are fantastic. I especially appreciate the layer of cushion over the cork footbed. They are very casual yet complete a "look" with wide pants. Now if they would only put the dark brown ones on sale!!

I wrote a review for the brand thinking I was writing it for this shoe. Okay, here it goes again... I bought my first pair of these on a hot summer day in 1999. My gal pals I and I were out shopping all day, and I wore them that entire day. Not a hint of sore feet, blisters, nothing uncomfortable. They were incredibly comfortable. And I like the look. So many years (maybe 7 years) later when I had worn them to death, I bought a second pair and sadly found my son wearing them while he was washing the car. The shoes were not just wet, they were absolutely soaked. After they dried out, they never were as soft as they were before the car wash, but still, they looked fine and were comfortable. I wore them for several years. They did get pretty messed up, though. They have a cork base, and that started to deteriorate. I didn't know they were still available, but looked and found them. However, they were consistently priced at about $150. I finally checked on amazon.com and the ones I wanted were $115, plus amazon was having a shoe sale, and I got to take 20% off. This was what I paid for my first pair in 1999! I love them. Super comfy and quite a bit nicer than flip flops. As for size, they run pretty true to size, but I wear a 7 1/2 and they were only offering whole sizes. I took a gamble and ordered the 8. Glad I did. They fit very well, and I am sure if I had gone down to the 7 I wouldn't be so happy. Go up a half size if you need to. These a great shoes. My friends are going to laugh that I bought yet another pair of these, but they are GREAT shoes. You WILL get your money's worth out of them, too. These last a long, long time...unless your son wears them to wash the car. Don't let that happen....

Look great. Very comfortable especially if you have high arches. These are the best for walking all summer long.

Edit: These and the Mephisto Heidi continue to be my favorite summer sandals. I discovered, rather late in the game (because I have discarded several old pairs) that there is a Mephisto repair service. For about $75 you can get the entire inner and outer sole replaced. Since the leather straps tend to last much longer than the soles, this might actually make a lost of sense -- for about half the cost of a brand new pair you can replace the part of the sandal that has worn out. I am very likely to have a pair of my Mephisto Heid's refurbished since this is a style that has been discontinued (and I have four pair of them in various states of wear).These are comfortable and fit well on a narrow foot. You can punch additional holes in the strap as the leather gives and stretches, so that they continue to fit. I have been buying them for years and years. Some of the leathers are softer than others -- the tan grain are more comfortable than the patent or waxy. I need to wear a lift on one sandal to compensate for leg length discrepancy. I have a 3/8 inch wedge inserted by a shoe repair shop, into the rubber wedge. These sandals, and the other Mephisto "H" styles enable me to wear open sandals all summer but still accommodate my needs. I wear these, alternating with the Heidi style, all summer. I am generally not at all hard on sandals and shoes but find that the Mephisto sandals tend to start looking beat up fairy soon. The edges of the sole at the toe area start to curl up and the footbeds show soiling. The sueded footbed quickly becomes smooth and worn looking. I reserve the newer pairs for dry weather only and use the oldest ones on wet days. But the sandals remain comfortable and look alright when on the foot. Because these meet my special needs I continue to buy them, usually a new pair every year or every two years. Just hope they continue to make them with no changes. It is a great convenience to be able to order them online and know that each new pair will be exactly like all the other ones I have ordered.

I have worn Mephisto shoes for years. These sandals are my favorite! The color is beautiful and the price was great!
