I bought these shoes locally in stores (official Mephisto-Shop). He looks good and is very convenient. Unfortunately broke up after less than a month, the bonding of both soles at the edge in several places, so that a small gap appeared. In my complaint I was only offered to send in and repair the shoes allow - Duration: 4-6 weeks. I had been with another Mephisto-pair (also the most expensive model in Goodyear World-style) since pushed the same problem and have it to a specific case. I've never experienced with other similar, sometimes significantly cheaper shoes. Too bad - the next time I look around at other brands.
