Last year I had a slight sandal dilemma when I bought these Mephisto sandals because my usual size seemed a tiny bit short, but the next size up was way too long. So I went with the usual size and they were fine but, because they were my only sandals last year (and I wear sandals from March – October) they are pretty much worn to a nubbin.
The problem is that all the Mephistos this year are either waaaayy ugly or else the same as last year. In order to have something new and comfy to wear (the shredded insoles on the old ones also shred my feet!) I bought a pair just like these, though they aren’t the best for walking as they don’t have a back strap.
In desperation I started looking online and found a place in the UK that stocks the model shown here, which I think look nice and also look like they’ll be comfortable. It’ll cost me 10€ to have them shipped here, but that’s not my dilemma. What if they don’t fit right? I’ll end up paying shipping charges twice and still have no sandals. Though I’m pretty sure I’ve had this style before, or something similar. Having very hard-to-fit feet is it foolish of me to even consider ordering sandals online?

While I have ordered shoes via the internet, I am careful to go with companies that have good/generous return policies because you can easily waste money sending shoes back and forth otherwise. Also, I don’t have hard-to-fit feet.

I’ve never ordered footwear via the internet or from a catalogue for the very reasons that concern you. I know you like Mephistos but have you checked out other makes available locally as they all change their ranges each year and you just might find something to suit you which you can actually “try before you buy”? Anyway, I wish you success!

It’s not just about liking Mephistos, it’s that they (usually) fit well and are very comfortable. Believe me when I say that there are no other sandals in town for me.

Good luck! I’m waffling on buying a pair online from the same vendor and in the same style on my feet at this moment, and I’m still reluctant! Let me know how it turned out, I’ve been seeing from higher end sandals online in Overstock type places that are tempting me. 🙂

Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification
seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries
that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
