Odor - This shoe is wonderful, except after couple of months of wear the sole of the shoe has a strong unpleasant odor. Never had a problem like that before.

"Investment" decision is a good one - Before buying these sandals, I read every single review (there were a LOT...99% positive). We can be added to that list. Big investment but well worth it. I didn't tell my husband the price, but he said it didn't matter. He really LOVES them. Zappo's was GREAT, as I needed them ASAP, and they were on our porch the very next day!

Absolutely fantastic! I have wanted a pair of these for years, but ringed at the cost. I took the plunge and was greatly rewarded! These are some of the best shoes I have ever worn. They are beautiful and super comfortable, especially without socks. The width is perfect; roomier than most fisherman shoes. You can wear these for hours and forget you're wearing anything! They would be perfect for those places where shoes are not allowed. Put on a pair of matching socks, and you'd never know! I plan on getting a pair in brown as well. If you wear a 44 (11US) in Birkenstock, a 12US in Chaco, or an 11US in Teva, you will need a 45 (12US) in these.

Great Shoes for the warmer season - I love my Mephisto Sam. It really feels as well as my other Mephisto Shoes. Mephisto Sam is much nicer than my old Mephiosto Sandals I own. The feet are protected because of the extra leather. The heels feel sturdy. They are wonderful without socks in the park for a longer walk. Since I am 72 I hate to expose my naked feet and toes. I like the comfort of the cooler feet without the embarrassment. Sams are wonderful walking shoes!!! Arnold Rom

Great sandal - no regrets - Somewhat hesitant at first to purchase these shoes due to the hefty price. I tried other shoes - Eccos, Timberland - but none came close to Mephisto's comfort. I have an extra wide foot and size D was perfect. I most of the time prefer tennis sandals if I will be walking all day, but I walked in them morning until night on a 10 day vacation with no soreness or discomfort.

The Mephisto Sam is easily the best sandal I have ever worn, and I wear shoes all day, 365 days a year. I can wear the Mephisto Sam all day long with no discomfort at all--the width is more than adequate, the arch support is excellent and the overall comfort is outstanding--my feet have not hurt AT ALL in the Mephisto Sam, and this is the ONLY sandal or shoe of the many I have worn (including Ecco, Clark's, etc.) that I can say this for. The Mephisto Sams are expensive, but after having worn them for some months, I am absolutely convinced that they're worth it. In addition, to my taste they are extremely good-looking shoes, suitable for casual or dressier occasions as the need arises.

2nd pair - I'm ordering a new pair after having worn out a pair of these shoes after two rounds of reconditioning. The fit is wonderful and durability is very good although not perfect. In the reconditioning, Mephisto replaced the soles, the buckles, which had gotten bent, and in the second round stitched torn leather where the straps fit in the back.

Lee's favorite - My husband, Lee, has been wearing his one pair of black shoes for years now. I only bought him new ones because he mentioned he would like a pair of brown ones. While his black shoes are old they still have much wear left. He has a very difficult time finding sandals to fit his foot comfortably. This has been his best shoe.

Reviewer:Speed from Kobe, Japan

Great shoes. Half the year I wear nothing but. After three/maybe 4 years they show little wear other than the perfect inner lining and the soles. And despite being my daily wear the brushed leather is still amazingly soft. Comfort has only been affected by worn heels just in last couple months. The very perfect dust of Athens this summer also got them looking scruffy. It probably wouldn't be a problem with Grain but I'll buy the brushed leather again if I can find them.

Walking Confortable - I own two pair of Sams. On burshed leather and one black leather. Excellent confort and shock disapation. It is interesting to note, that I ordered both pair in my regular size 11. They fit well out of the box and required no break-in. Thanks for a excellent sandal that can be worn casual or dress.

Felt wonderful straight out of the box. No break-in time required. I concur with other reviewers that the sandal is one size larger than my normal size. This sandal is well crafted; there are no unfinished edges or seams which can chafe when worn without socks.

Great look and feel. This is a very sturdy sandal with excellent holding properties. I would very much caution that I ordered a size SMALLER than I most of the time buy because of other's comments about Mephisto sizing. They fit perfectly well, even though they say they're a full size smaller(9) than I most of the time wear(10). I would have preferred a velcro closure, as in some of the Teva shoes, for a better fit instead of the buckle, but they do fit well and are very comfortable to wear.
