Mephisto 'Laser' Walking Shoe (Women)I am 53 years old and have very sore feet - mostly due to osteoarthritis and having had occupations where I am on my feet most of the day. I work in health care and would wear athletic shoes or Keen shoes but these are more comfortable than either of those. I think the additional comfort comes from the support that these offer - both in stability and cushion. I bought the more expensive version as well - I wear them both. Best shoes I have ever owned. The Mephisto 'Laser' Walking Shoe (Women) has got to be one the best things I have ever owned. At least the price was cheaper from the first time. General great! "I purchased these in July 2013 from the best shoe person Nordstroms ever had at Arden Fair (Bernard). He brought these out and I did not like them at all but the comfort was amazing on my feet. I have a wide foot and I went to the next size up. I will say they are very, very comfortable and for sure more stylish than tennis shoes. I wear them every where and plan to get a lighter color for summer. This review is a little late from today (Feb.27,2014) but I have my shoes on right now. They have grown on me and people think they are dress shoes."

Mephisto 'Laser' Walking Shoe (Women) Reviews"After trying on dozens of pairs of all brands of shoes, I finally decided on these to wear for a two week trip to China. From the moment I tried them on (in Nordstrom), they felt like "my" shoes! There was NO break-in period, and they were comfortable from day one. My feet are narrow and bony, and I could not believe how comfortable. I did add a thin memory foam footbed, because of the nature of my trip, but really, it is not necessary. I wore these shoes all over southeast China, and they are truly the best walking shoes I have ever owned. I never had a day of discomfort, and we walked many miles each day. We walked on hard pavement, up land down literally thousands of stairs, on dirt paths, and in fancy churches and restaurants. I dressed up at times and was more casual in others, and the shoes went with everything. They are super easy to get off and back on, so airport security was a breeze. I wore them for my 24 hours of travel, and never once felt like taking them off. They are cute -- much nicer than wearing athletic shoes, and I got many complements throughout the trip. Although I had another pair of shoes with me, I wore these every day of my trip, and never even took the others out of my suitcase. My last pair of Mephistos, fisherman sandals, are about 15 years old, and I had them reconditioned last year. They are like new, and so worth the high price tag! I hope to get that kind of life from the new pair, because I am set for both warm and cool weather travel for a long time, thanks to Mephisto!" |
