even owning them for six months (and I own a lot of shoes) the sole split
straight across on the right foot, rain seeped in, and they were unable to
be repaired without paying nearly the same price I paid for the shoes in the
beginning. They're comfortable shoes, but I'm convinced they are crafted
poorly out of shitty material. I'll never buy their shoes again.

I bought a pair of Josef Seibel shoes at the Nordstrom Rack today...at about
$50 down from almost $125. I know the name just from seeing shoes like them at
"walking shoes" stores and such, but don't know much about the brand. They seem
very well made, and they fit and (I think) look great. I *think* I scored big
time, at that price. Can anyone tell me a little about this manufacturer's
shoes?
Thanks!

Back to shoes in general though – I've had a couple of pairs of Seibel shoes
that were very comfortable, but they were purchased years ago. I have no
current experience with them. Mephistos were mentioned and I have a closet
full of Mephistos that I absolutely love – so comfortable and over the years
they've come out with a few stylish styles that I can wear to work (most seem
to be sandals or lace–up walking shoes). However, lately they're pricing has
gotten out of whack for the type shoes they sell, and the few styles I've been
interested in are painful from the first test step. I haven't bought a pair of
Mephistos in the past 3 years or so because of this. Another problem with
Mephisto is that they don't come out with enough new styles.

That's the reason that Pantone makes color–standard chips. Effective what the name means. It's often hard to figure out the color of something
looking at it on a monitor, and if the color name is something cutesy, then it

open toe clogs, closed toe clogs, slip ons. They're made in Germany.
I love, love, love them. They are so comfy and fit my feet so well, that I
would snap
up a pair at $50 anytime. FWIW, the ones currently in my closet range from 4

old to 1 year old, and are in as good shape as when I bought them.
