MephistoMen's Harrison Sneaker

Hi I have purchased several pairs of Mephistos over the years and have always been pleased with them. My recent pair of these Harrison‘s is no exception. The fit is real good, skid resistance is more than adequate and they have a nice look and appear just as they do in the photographs you can see on Amazon. The only downside is that they are rather heavy. They were “OK” though not “great” for a month-long trip in Europe.

What I like most is that they have a lot of holes for the laces. To me they have a nice design.

Guaranteed highest quality shoes and worth the expense! I have several pairs that I've been wearing for years and they're still great.

I now own six pairs or Mephisto sneakers, and I feel like these are plenty fine. As usual, I caught them on sale, and they were a bargain for what I paid. High-quality, comfortable. I have flat feet, so I *hate* hardcore arch support; it just digs into my foot very painfully. These are fine on that point. I like a big toe box, and these are "ok", but I have other Mephistos with better toe boxes. I think they look sharp - I got black. They are of good quality, commensurate with other Mephisto products. As usual, the laces are too short :-P

I have just replaced 12 pair of shoes with Mephistos. Yes I like them that much!

The last 2 pair of Mephisto I purchased the laces were too short. The shoes are expensive but don’t skimp on the laces.

These shoes were delivered worn dirty, and did not include the original box. Clearly someone used them outdoors, threw away the packaging and then sent them back. And then they were resold to me as “New”… at full price.At $325, I expect brand new in the box.

I bought the taupe version. This is not a cheap pair of sneakers and sadly they are not my most comfortable pair. The cushioning at the forefoot is minimal and the insole is very thin. You can feel every crack while walking on cobbkestone. The shoes also squeak very loudly, even after many miles of break in. For me, the cuff is too high, and rubs against my ankle. I like the taupe color as it does not show dirt very much, but any little water droplets show very easily. Not the best shoe for standing at the urinal… otherwise, the shoes are pretty well constructed. Leather lining inside is nice. Unfortunately, the shoe sits in a “bathtub” of a rubber outsole. The effect is that your toes are not able to spread properly as you walk. After more than 5 miles today and now lots of blisters, I would gladly trade them for my old pair of Scarpas back. Overall, I’m not impressed with my first pair of exorbitantly expensive Mephistos.
