The innovative SOFT-AIR TECHNOLOGY is the secret behind the extraordinary walking comfort when wearing any MEPHISTO shoes: The flexible, permanently elastic and extremely soft SOFT-AIR midsole reduces the shock from walking to an absolute minimum. This relieves the joints, vertebrae and the spine - it is like walking on a soft carpet of moss, making you feel fit and full of energy even after many hours of wear.

The shape of the shock absorber has been optimized to promote more comfort while walking and to efficiently reduce all shock. The SHOCK ABSORBER protects the heel every step of the way. Maximum heel protection is achieved by the shock absorber. The shock is gently absorbed away.

Goodyear Welt is the one of the best footwear making techniques that guarantees complete comfort and durability. Of course, everything starts with careful skin selection. It continues by sewing the individual leather elements that make up the upper part of the shoe. This part of the work is most often done by women, probably because this part of the production requires special precision. Then the complete upper part is put on a wooden mold to get the shape of the future shoe. A leather strap is sewn to connect the upper part to the inner sole. Granulated cork is added to the resulting cavity, and a sole is sewn to the edge. The process ends with painting the soles, polishing the shoes and hand tinting. Every pair of Goodyear-Welt shoes are entirely handmade, therefore becoming a unique piece. Our Goodyear-Welts are unbelievably flexible. This construction also allows the resoling of these shoes. The leather lining caters for a healthy climate in the shoe.

The flexible removable footbed is made of natural and breathable materials that are shock absorbing as well. This footbed is easily replaceable. It could also be washed, promoting proper foot hygiene. The anatomic footbed adapts perfectly to the shape of the foot thus improving overall fit. Preserving the particular anatomy of the foot also helps avoid pronation maintaining and protecting the health of your feet. The removable footbed guarantees the optimal hygiene of the foot.
