A quick look at Mephisto's website will tell you everything you need to know about this reputable shoe manufacturer. Right off the bat, you're hit with one of the best slogans I've ever heard - "The Finest Walking Shoe On Earth". Mephisto makes a full line of dress shoes and even ventures into the boot and sandal market, but their bread and butter line is definitely their high-end walking shoes. All their shoes are manufactured in Europe my highly skilled artisans. Yes that's right... They're made by hand! This is almost unprecedented in today's post Ford world. When it comes to shoes for walking, though, there is no substitute. Now, one word that usually comes to mind when people hear the words "European" and "Hand-made" is "expensive".

I'm not going to lie... Mephisto walking shoes are pretty expensive. They're going to set you back a lot more than a pair of New Balance 991's for example. That said, there are deals to be had on Mephisto shoes. A ton of online dealers are hurting in this economy and are thus starving for your business! Do a bit of shopping around, check out a few sites and chances are you'll come across some pretty good deals.

Now, shoes for walking only come in 2 types really. They're either made for a man or made for a woman. A lot of features that make a good shoe cross all gender barriers though. You want something that is comfortable, durable and offers a lot of ankle support. This is true for both men and women. So why should you trust my advice and get yourself a pair of Mephisto walking shoes? Well don't trust me! Every year, over one million pairs of these wonderful shoes are sold in Europe alone.

Mephisto Walking Shoes For Women

Mephisto shoes for women are first class. They offer quite a bit of variety as well. There is everything from casual shoes to runners. There are also clogs, sandals and full on dress boots available from this company as well. We'll be focusing on the walking shoes though.

Mephisto's Rush for women is about as close as this company gets to the sneaker. This shoe is sporty, comfortable and easy to maintain. It suits a variety of different situations as well. Don't be afraid to wear this one to office on casual Fridays!

The Mephisto Debbie is a casual shoe that could easily be worn with a semi-formal attire. I features all natural leathers and is surprisingly comfy! This may be because of the patented shock absorbing heel.

Another popular shoe by this company is the Gail. This is a proper, full on dress shoe and probably shouldn't be worn when you go to the gym. Mephisto believes that you shouldn't have to be uncomfortable at weddings and funerals though... So many dress shoes for women on the market are brutally uncomfortable. The Gail, on the other hand, has a rounded toe and a nice 1 inch flat heel. Elegant yet comfortable and supporting!

Mephisto Walking Shoes For Men

The men's line of walking shoes by Mephisto is quite varied. There are a few common themes though. All their men's walking shoes are natural and handmade. They feature soft leathers, latex, cork and rubber - all natural materials.

The Mephisto Match line is this company's most popular Men's walking shoe. One thing I really like about this specific model is that is resoleable. This means that, while the cost of these shoes is quite high, you'll be able to replace the soles when they wear out. This means that shoes will last for much longer than a regular pair of sneakers. They'll pay for themselves in a couple of years - no problem. They also feature excellent head support and have a classic running shoe look to them.

The Mephisto Hurricane is a dressier walking shoe for men. Now when I say dress shoe, don't get the wrong idea. This is probably known as a casual shoe in business lingo. You couldn't wear it with a Tuxedo, for example. If you're a business man who's always on the go, however, this shoe is perfect for you! It has a lot of support and a very soft cushion on the sole. It's also water resistant for those days when you forget your umbrella.

The Mephisto Abel is a nice hybrid between the two models outlined above. It's almost half runner, half casual loafer. As with all of the shoes made by this company, it's hand crafted and features only natural materials. It's cool, comfortable and provides great support for your lower and upper body. Every part of you will say "Thank You!" when you wear these shoes - From your feet to your legs to your back.

Other men's shoes by Mephisto that are probably worth looking into include the Nautic and the Tymon.
