Shoe Shopping for Mephisto's in Florence,Verona,Venice or Bologna?

Please advise if you know of any shoe stores in Florence, Verona,Venice or
Bologna. I am looking for a sandal that is a Mephisto. They are the most comfortable
walking shoe ever. Please help! Thank you in advance!!!

I would say that Mephistos are much cheaper in the States, and they do have sales in the stores in which they're sold.

If you're in the U.S., there are many Mephisto styles available on zappos.com.

rsvarraze,

If you are in the US - shop at zappos.com. They have Mephistos, free shipping both ways if you need to return anything. That's where I get my "Helen" style sandals!

Yes, they are most comfortable ever!

Make sure the shoes are made in Italy with Italian leather, if appicable.

That's a must for my wife.

Mephistos are French shoes.

Yes, but they do sell them in Italy. There is a shop in Verona on the left side of the street leading into the Piazza dei Signori from the via Mazzini

I don't know where you are shopping in France, but the Mephistos I have bought there are anything up to $80 a pair less than anywhere in the US, and Zappos doesn't carry the shoes I want in my size 14.

I have only worn Mephistos since 1994.

There's a Mephisto store just over the bridge (Scalzi) from the train station.
