The original founder of the Mephisto footwear brand, Martin Michaeli, continually strove to improve the Mephisto brand and the innovative technologies used within his shoes. Therefore creating a brand that continues to offer supporting and comfortable shoes to their customers, suitably fitting Mephisto's motto that their shoes were made for walking.

Air-Bag Shock Absorber – Mephisto have placed this feature underneath the heel of the foot, where it supports the metatarsal arch of the foot, which subsequently supports the back and other joints during walking.

Air-Jet Circulation System – within the soles of Mephisto shoes are tiny air channels, which are activated as you walk, circulating the air around your shoes, creating a healthy environment for your feet.

Air-Step Cushioned Soles – within the latex cushion of the sole, tiny air bubbles are trapped, which gives the sole of Mephisto shoes a shock-absorbing quality, reducing the shocks and jarring on other joints within the body.

Anatomical Arch Support – for greater support and stability, the footbeds of Mephisto shoes will naturally contour to the shape of the foot.

Best Natural Products – Mephisto use only the highest quality of natural products within their shoes, including natural rubber, latex and crepe, all of which help establish the healthiest of environments for your feet.

Cork Midsole – to allow for their Mephisto shoes and sandals to contour the natural shape of the foot, they use a cork midsole which moulds to the unique shape of the wearers foot, constantly supporting and providing comfort for the foot. Cork is a high-quality material used by Mephisto to remove the need for “bedding in” shoes, and a continued comfort when wearing the shoes. This exceptional quality means that their cork midsole sandals and shoes are recommended as orthopaedic shoes as they provide maximum support for the instep and foot.

Fast-Speed Lacing System – Mephisto have developed a quick and easy method with this system, for all shapes of feet, without causing any pressure of discomfort.

Gore-Tex – this material is a waterproof, durable one used within the lining of some Mephisto shoes to make them suitable for wear in all different conditions.

Heel Cushion – to take the pressure of the heels of ones feet, Mephisto shoes have insoles that includes the heel cushion to take excess pressure off the heel and support the foot.

Hydro-Soft Leather Linings – to ensure that Mephisto shoes have the highest quality leather uppers, they are carefully selected, treated naturally, all together ensuring the foot hygiene of the shoe is maximised.

Original Mephisto – to show the authenticity of the high-quality product that Mephisto is, each shoe will be proudly given its own Mephisto label to confirm the confirm its legitimacy.

Padded Tongue – for additional comfort in lace-up shoes, the padded tongue of a Mephisto shoe reduces any pressure caused by tight laces.

Soft-air Midsole – The midsole works from the downward pressure created when walking within your shoes, as it cushions the foot upon impact with the ground. Furthermore, the downward movements also creates air circulation within the shoe, ventilating it and allowing for a breathable environment for the foot. This allows Mephisto shoes to take any pressure off the foot that is created during walking movements, which reduces the pressures on all points of the body, from the knees to the back.

Universal-Grip Profiled Soles – the shoes that Mephisto fit with these soles have a greater traction, even in wet conditions, ensuring maximum grip.
