Mephisto Women's Laser Walking Shoe

I really like these shoes and retuned them and kept the size 8.5 I ordered. I originally ordered the 8.5 but initially thought they might be a little too big. Two years ago I ended up with bloody toes in Paris. I took comfortable, broken in shoes but they didn't prepare me for the road conditions I encountered...so this time, I've spend a great deal of time researching and trying various shoes ( thank you Amazon Prime!), hoping to avoid a similar experience. I'll be using these on an upcoming trip to Italy so fit was essential (cobblestone roads, etc.). I decided to go with an Italian made shoe...hoping they know what they are doing since some of their clientele are native Italians. (I checked. They sell this same shoe in Italian stores...in the same and additional fashion colors).I decided to wear thicker socks, so the 8.5's turned out to be perfect. We'll see how they perform in their home country. Update: These shoes wore extremely well on the very rough terrane in Italy. 'M so glad I got them for the trip. Super comfortable!Just ordered the brown color as well. Love the fit! Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

I have bought these shoes several times (I love them for their look, comfort and the support they give), but I was concerned when I read that several people found the new versions too narrow, because I have a rather wide foot. I bought this pair with trepidation. The shoes were snug for about the first 3-4 wearings, but they have now settled in and are as comfortable as my old ones (which I alternate with these). I prefer shoes that fit perfectly on the first try, but these are such comfortable shoes that I'd be will to take a risk on them again. By the way, they last for a long time -- my old ones are apparently 5 years old, and I wore them almost daily.

Don't want to take them off. I have permanent stress fractures from old sports injury which means I need great shoes. Bought with no prior knowledge of brand, took a chance and they are fab. Standing for me is not fun at the best of times and with a 12.5kg 16 month old on my arm it is tough but I can do it all much longer. If I currently had the money, I would be ordering a second pair. Great comfort, support, fits orthodox well and light and looks good. What more to ask for?

There was a lot to appreciate with this shoe, the Mephisto Women's Laser Walking Shoe.The leather and construction was excellent.The shoe has simple, clean lines with the flexibility of dark colored laces to better fit your foot.The dark metallic gray leather is trendy but still a neutral.My issue was with the "Laser" sole. The product description states the sole is rubber. In my experience usually rubber soles are quiet. However, I found walking around my house the sole was both noisy and too stiff. Perhaps a different insole/orthotic could help but at this price point I did not want to buy a new insole.

I bought them to wear on vacation. Several people said they ran small, so I ordered a half size larger. I had to return the large ones and order my normal size. I didn't wear them on the trip because it rained EVERY day. Too expensive to ruin right off the bat. They are great for those with heel issues. I wish they had a little more padding for the ball of the foot.

The leather is soft and beautiful as pictured. These shoes are very comfortable and I wore them over 10 hours the first day. I do think I will need to try them with custom orthotics when I get them for even better results when wearing them for extended periods because I have recurring issues with plantar fasciitis. The shoe has good mid-shoe rigidity but I think the toe area is probably too flexible based on what my podiatrist recommend. Regardless, I continue to wear for comfort. For people who do not have foot problems I think these shoes will work exceptionally well. I think the same will be true for me once my foot is fully healed. In the meantime, I do find the more rigid sole shoes by Drew are better while my tendons are sore.

Mephistos a fit me better than any other and the insole, though a firmer feeling cushion, does more for your feet and knees. No tired legs and knees. One Mephisto secret is that toe box has enough height, which means you don't have to buy a longer shoe than you need just for a little wiggle room. A walking shoe needs wiggle room as your feet swell by the end of the day. The heel is also proportionately narrow. I wear a 38 in Mephisto, but a 39 in Ecco, if that helps anybody on sizing. I have the more expensive version of this shoe, the Rush, and can't say as there is any need to pay more for that. The taupe grey color with the black patent stripes will go with anything and is more attractive than it looks in the pictures.

My experience with Mephisto shoes has been fabulous, and this shoe proved no exception. They fit perfectly and are extremely comfortable, not to mention beautiful. Since I have developed knee problems, I have to be sure that all my shoes have good shock absorbency, so that was the big unknown. I shouldn't have doubted. This shoe is perfect, and it even has some arch support, which I hadn't expected.
