Dear customer,
We thank you for your message and are sorry that you had a problem with your shoe size. Depending on the type of model, type of leather and even the individual shape of the foot, the fit may not be perceived in the same way.
Of course, you can use the return service on our web site and order different models to receive your favourite shoe in the right size. However, if in doubt, we advise you to visit a Mephisto-Shop in your area and try on several shoes to make sure you are buying the right size. Hopefully your next purchase will be successful.
Best regards,
Your official Mephisto Online-Shop

Import fees and lack of communication

I received an email confirming my order but no indication when the order had been dispatched so after several days I decided to cancel it. I received an email stating that once the shoes had been returned I would receive a refund. I replied explaining that I haven’t received the shoes and as far as I was aware they haven’t been dispatched. I received no response. A few days later I received a letter from parcel force to say that they had received my order and the import fees due are over £60. As there is no method of speaking to anyone at parcel force to ask them to return them to Mephisto I will have to wait 21 days before they will return them to sender and longer still to receive a refund.

Dear customer,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your annoyance and take it very seriously.
Order confirmation and follow-up emails are automatically sent to each customer. Did you check your spam folder?
For administrative reasons, it is actually not possible to cancel an order once it has been registered and in the process to be shipped. The refund is issued when the shoes are returned to us.
The customs and shipping problems caused by Brexit continue to pose major challenges for everyone involved. Especially for customs clearance and shipping to the UK and other customs territories outside the EU, we will offer a significantly simplified shopping experience in the Official Mephisto Online Shop in the near future,

I haven’t received the 2 sandals I bought. Despite the number of emails I sent to you to help me resolve the issue with the carrier, I’m unable to allocate my purchase. This is one of the worst customers service I’ve ever experienced. I asked for my money back, but i have to suffer until the carrier return back the package to you. This is unacceptable and unfair. I will never return the purchase or recommend you to anyone.

RACIST COMPANY

This company is steeped in racism. The customer advisor I encountered was undeniably biased, their words dripping with disdain. When I asked to speak to a manager, hoping for a glimpse of understanding and support, I was met with even more rudeness and contempt. It was a heartbreaking experience that no one should ever have to endure. SHAME ON YOU.

Great shoes that make walking easy

Great shoes. Bought my first pair in summer of ‘23. This summer second pair. Just because they walk so marvellous! They cushion is superb. Makes walking easy. I used one pair for Goruking with 30 lb. in the backpack. Great materials, nice production.
Only minus: on wet stoney underground they are kind off slippery.
