Mephisto blog

Martin Michaeli began his hugely successful career in the shoe industry by coming to the United States. After achieving some success he returned to Europe and in 1965 founded the Mephisto shoe company. In 1973 Michaeli requested a patent for his shoe manufacturing process and the original Mephisto line was born. Soon, Mephisto achieved notoriety and success as an international brand, although the first exclusive Mephisto retail outlet did not open until 1984. Mephisto sandals and shoes exude style, class and value for the sophisticated and discerning foot, while making sure that foot is well cared for and comfortable.

Each pair of Mephisto sandals and shoes are "handmade by master shoemakers" as stated on their website. It goes almost without saying that only the best materials are used to fashion the exquisite and timeless designs that are Mephistos. Because they are made with all natural materials, Mephisto sandals and walking shoes are also durable and able to withstand wear and tear with grace and ease.

When shopping for shoes, most people do not shop for comfort or health. They are interested in three things: does it fit, is it stylish, and how much does it cost? Although all valid concerns, the emphasis when buying shoes should not be primarily on style, but on comfort and quality of shoe. The better the materials, craftsmanship, and technology involved in the shoe making process, the healthier the foot will be. Mephisto shoes are a tremendous value for all of the preceding reasons. When a customer thinks they are "saving money" on a cheap, poorly crafted shoe, they are actually paying dearly with the health of their feet.

One of the reasons that these shoes are so comfortable is the Soft-Air Technology used in their construction. Mephisto boasts increased foot protection, back care and joint relief as a result. The Soft-Air technology is a flexible mid-sole and reduces the shock of impact to heels and foot pad. Because the mid-sole is breathable, air flow around the foot is increased and foot health optimized. The elimination of pain associated with walking may be well worth the investment in a pair of quality Mephisto shoes.
