The Mephisto brand was created in 1973 by a man, Martin Michaeli, who was determined to create the best walking shoe on the market. Thus, he endeavoured to use the most innovative technologies and exceptional designs to create this brand, and one that exuded sophistication and quality. It took only two years for Mephisto to become known across the world for just these qualities and no more so than within the sport and leisure niche of the footwear market.

Since then, Mephisto has created a vast range of shoes and sandals, innovating the footwear market with technology such as the Soft-Air Technology, which supports the foot in its entirety. This technology supports the foot as well as reducing pressure and shocks throughout the body, including the knees and hips.

Another popular feature is the the cork midsole which is a highly recommended feature within orthopaedic shoes, as they are anatomically shaped and provide support for the foot and instep by moulding to the shape of the foot. The Mephisto Helen sandals include this cork midsole, which provides maximum comfort, and teamed alongside the strap across the foot, the foot is completely supported. They are also available in a wide range of colours, which provides versatility for the style and preference of the wearer.
