Each pair of Mephisto shoes typically provides years of wear under even the harshest of conditions because of the great quality materials and excellent craftsmanship, making them a great value at any price. (Most styles retail for $150 up to $300 dollars per pair, with the Allrounder sub-brand in the lowest end, and deals available if you are vigilant). However, it’s very difficult to find Mephisto shoes on sale due to restrictions put on retailers. An additional plus is that Mephisto Shoes are resolable. After several years of wear, you can send them in to one of the repair facilities for total refurbishment, and for a charge of about half of retail, they will come back to you good as new in about a month.
Web stores are not able to discount current Mephisto styles. But, discontinued styles (clearance shoes) can be found at closeout prices around the internet, especially at Mephisto’s featured online retailers. Mephisto does not have their own outlet store.
Today’s Mephisto shoes are sold in 50 countries around the world and over 18,000 retail stores, over 2800 employees and 100 million pairs sold every year. The Company began the 21st century by winning numerous awards, both in France and the United States. Martin Michaeli founded the company at the age of 27 with savings from the six years he spent working in the United States. He still works daily in the original factory and headquarters n Sarrebourg, France. Mephistos are a very natural product, made of soft leathers, cork, rubber, and latex, and they are still hand made one at a time.
The Mephisto Shoe Company was founded in France in 1965, and enjoyed local popularity. Their popularity began to spread quickly throughout France, Switzerland, Germany, Benelux, and Austria, and by 1975 they were being exported around the world. The Mephisto technology, comfort, and natural materials made them a hit everywhere they were introduced and by the late 1980’s they were being distributed in both the United States and Canada to great fanfare. The Soft Air Technology that is the core of Mephisto’s success relieves pressure from the joints and the back by reducing the impact of walking. This built-in air comfort system absorbs shocks and relieves fatigue that would otherwise affect your feet after several hours of walking or standing.
The company today offers a tremendous array of shoes, and several different brands. There are shoes for golfing, boating, hiking, walking, and professional looking city shoes and city sandals, as well as leisure shoes. The company’s Sano brand is offering a new version of the exercise shoe, which promises to shave one size from your frame, improve your physical condition, tone and tighten your shape, increase blood circulation, and improve your posture. The Sano sub-brand is made in styles for both men and women, with athletic shoes at its core, but there are also standard styles of walking shoes and Mary Jane styles in the group as well. Mephisto Allrounder’s have a more aggressive and rugged styling, with an active suspension system and excellent grip on any surface-these shoes have grips equivalent to those on automobile snow tires. Mephisto Mobils brand shoes have all over comfort padding, a “comfortemp” lining, and removable footbed.
The Mephisto footwear company consistently adds new styles each Spring and Fall, and this Fall is no different. Some of the new styles for Fall are:
- Fiducia boot
- Linda tall boot
- Orieta boot
- Micasio shoe
- Nemesio shoe
- Fitko shoe
- Muto shoe
- Fortino shoe
