Mephisto

Incredible sample sales on popular styles for women– mostly in average sizes too, I’m a 7/7.5. I went in to replace my 10 y/​o Helen and the one I already had in mind to buy was on the sample rack for $ 89 (reg $ 179). Friendly, low pressure store– you can take your time without someone breathing down your neck but yet the salesperson was always ready to help.

I had an amazing experience shopping there today. David was the gentleman who helped me today, and he was extremely knowledgeable about their shoes, and helped me pick a shoe that fit me perfectly and that will help me with my current foot joint problems. At first I didn’t want to try them, as they are expensive shoes, and I was not pushed to, but after trying one, I decided I could not afford to be without one, with the problems I’m having on my big toe joint. With many products, the prices rises exponentially for minimal additional gain, but in this case, after spending almost about the same in several different shoes /​inserts, etc, the quality and comfort of my footwear went from 60% to 95%. I spent $ 360 on a new pair and it has been worth it. They can also be rebuilt when the sole wears, which makes them look great and you’ll spend less than getting a new pair of standard shoes somewhere else. Not all their styles are super hip, but you’ll never wear something this comfortable.

It’s a little tiny store, but the selection is good. Go see David, and listen to him when he tells you a size runs a little different from shoe to shoe. He is going to be correct! Thank you David for helping Mom with her fickle feet!

I love the shoes. They are both stylish and comfortable. A great feature is you can get shoes resoled for under $ 100 vs. having to buy a brand new pair. The few times I have visited this store the service has been attentive and informative. Kudos to David and Sean. The store is small inside. The selection seems a bit limited. However, that is not a complaint. I don’t like being overwhelmed by too many choices. Did I mention the shoes are well made and have longevity? I have walked miles and miles in them both here and abroad.

I had a great experience here, in contrast to prior negative reviews. On our way to the hotel, our taxi drove past the store and I vowed to return during this trip to Seattle so I could purchase some sandals (in December!).
I wore my previous Mephisto sandals for several summers, until a small dog chewed apart the heel of one in 2008. I thought they were un-​fixable but couldn’t stand throwing out the finest pair of summer footwear I’ve ever owned. (I wasn’t aware that Mephisto has mail-​in repair service, until the clerk at this store informed me. Unfortunately, I’d finally thrown out the sandals just last year.)
We visited the small store on a 28-​degree day, hoping they’d have sandals out of season. An older gentleman, quite possibly the same one mentioned in other reviews, helped me spend $ 280 on a pair of sandals which I can’t wait to wear this summer.

Wow, talk about shitty costumer service… my sis and I walked in hoping to find a particular shoes they sell here and the old guy who works here did not even acknowledge us when we walked in. We did not get any eye contact or a hello. We tried making eye contact with him but I guess we didn’t exist to him.
You’re better off ordering online than coming here.

Maybe the worlds finest walking shoes, but when I walked in I wasn’t even acknowledged. Not the worlds finest service.

I rarely take pleasure in writing bad reviews, but this is an exception. After spending over $ 400 on a pair of shoes that wore out after 3 months of use, I was told that the warranty doesn’t apply to the insoles.
Wow! Really? I guess once you get burned, it doesn’t really matter anymore. But I won’t be buying from them in the future.

During PAX a buddy of mine and I stopped by Mephisto just down the street from Brooks Brothers to check out the shoes they had to offer. He found a pair that suited him and felt great but even with the quality craftsmanship and the outstanding warranty couldn’t seem to justify spending upwards of $ 350 on a pair of shoes in this economy.
He ended up going to Dillards and getting an amazing pair of Merrels for less than $ 90 that looked and felt just as good.
As far as the Mephisto’s were concerned we enjoyed the history lesson of the company but at that price point we just wern’t impressed.
