Women's Helen Thong Sandals

About this item

Asymmetric thong sandal with adjustable buckled strap featuring cork midsole and contoured footbed

• AK

  I have been buying a pair of this every year or so, they fit me better than Birkenstocks and they are well made, comfy and really help with posture etc, and look chic

  I think they are beautiful, but a little close to small. I am not a thong person, but they are sexy. Wore them yesterday and they did okay.The Mephistos are THE best for a good arch. I would like to know if there is better, cuz I haven't found it. I have a lot of Birks, cuz they are cheaper, but WAY less arch. Not so good.

  Arrived new with tag but not new in box. Still brand new with no signs of wear or damage. Fit is perfect in size, consistent with my danksos or Birks.SUPER comfy and supportive!!! This is my 2nd pair. First pair lasted 4 summers almost daily use. Constructed with a dense/rigid cork footbed and sturdy rubber sole that does not deform compared to the knock offs. I usually require inserts in shoes to correct pronation, and these sandals definitely provide the support i need. The deeper heel cup and high enough arch construction let me walk all day no problem without foot or knee pain.They are not for wide feet. I have an average food width and the straps are extended out to 2nd from last notch. If you have a wide foot, especially at toe box or forefoot I would recommend birkenstock instead

  So I was thrilled when these arrived since I got them for a great price and they were the true dark brown Nairobi color as shown on the Mephisto website. The Amazon picture here is not correct, as the Nairobi has a sparkle to it which is not shown here. This is my second pair of these Helen sandals, and I couldn't be more thrilled with them! Worth every penny if you need a solid supportive and comfortable sandal!

  Love the fit on these, they are so comfortable I could wear them all day. Unfortunately I wear them too much because the color on the leather is peeling off in places.

  I received my 3rd pair of Mephisto Helen Sandals yesterday, the first having been purchased in 1999. They last an incredibly long time, and wear to the shape of your foot. And then you can get them refurbished with new soles. This is my go-to footwear in summer; comfortable to walk distances (on smoother surfaces) and surpassingly lovely!Weird detail on this pair: Amazon shows US sizes, and I was concerned, as I’d been getting EU sizes. Reviews said they run small - had the basics changed? I ordered a Size 10 and said a little prayer. I received EU 39, which is the size I’ve been wearing, which doesn’t necessarily track to a Size 10. But it’s perfect!

  Great support, comfortable and look good too.

  These are the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever put on. I had my doubts I did not like it that the thing with between my toes but the first time I put them on I felt like they were completely broken in and the bottom is so smooth it’s like magic. Seriously I’m a big-time sandal wearer , at least for me. I have an average foot with an average arch. These are just perfect and they look pretty. They don’t look like Birkenstocks I thought they would and they don’t thank goodness.

  I love these sandals but they were made of a much better quality just a few years ago. That's why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5.

  I was hooked after my first pair. Great support. First pair I bought for trip. There are other shoes with a cork footbed and they do not compare to Mephistopheles!!
