  • HANDMADE

    All Mephisto shoes are handmade by master shoemakers. On average, 160 to 220 meticulous steps are completed to create a flawless pair of Mephisto shoes.

    Because every Mephisto shoe is individually handmade, each shoe is unique. Look out for the Mephisto label pictured for a guarantee of its authenticity.
  • SOFT-AIR

    Mephisto’s SOFT-AIR TECHNOLOGY provides wearers with an unparalleled walking experience. SOFT-AIR ensures every step is cushioned by an ultra-soft insole and helps reduce shock to your joints and vertebrae.

    Wearing shoes with extra cushioning creates all day comfort and aids in reducing tired end-of-day feet.
  • AIR-RELAX

    Mephisto’s insoles work to complement and support natural foot positioning, helping to improve your overall fit and avoid things like pronation (when the arch of your foot collapses inwards).

    With shock absorbing properties, the removable insoles can also be washed, promoting a cleaner healthier foot environment.
  • AIR-JET

    The AIR-JET system creates a constant stream of fresh air circulating throughout the inside of the shoe.

    This system helps to encourage breathability, maintain an optimal temperature for your foot, and reduce perspiration, which are all important factors in sustaining foot health.
  • AIR-BAG

    Mephisto’s AIR-BAG technology is comprised of a hollow piece of rubber located in the heel of the sole. This structure is filled with air and designed to take the shape of uneven surfaces when walking.

    When adapting to uneven surfaces, the structure absorbs shock before it reaches the foot, aiding in the protection of your joints and vertebrae.
  • SHOCK ABSORBER

    Every Mephisto shoe also includes a specialised shock absorber within the heel that not only reduces impact while walking but increases comfort as well.

    This extra layer of shock absorption helps to protect your joints and vertebrae from impact making Mephisto a perfect choice if you find yourself on your feet most of the day.
  • GORE-TEX ®

    GORE-TEX® is a waterproof, lightweight and breathable fabric that is designed for optimum climate control.

    A wide range of Mephisto styles are crafted with the GORE-TEX® membrane, which allows perspiration to move out of its microscopic pores, while blocking water from entering.
  • HYDROPROTECT

    This technology helps to protect your feet against wet weather for longer. Crafted with hydrophobic leathers and seeled seams, shoes with Hydroprotect provide excellent protection against moisture entering from the upper or stitching.
  • ULTRA-LIGHT SOLE

    The combination caoutchouc (a natural rubber that has not been vulcanised or hardened) gives Mephisto outsoles their renowned light and comfortable composition.

    Highly durable, these outsoles are meant to stand the test of time and are suitable for varied terrains.
