The Development of Mephisto Shoes

Mephisto shoes were originally created in Sarrebourg, France in 1965. The first developed shoe was the Mephisto Moccasin. This shoe design was sold in Germany, Benelux, Switzerland, and Austria. By 1975, Mephisto became an international brand. A variety of shoe designs entered the United States market in 1987 and the Canadian market in 1989.

By 1998, over 600 styles of Mephisto men's and women's shoes were available. Today, Mephisto shoes are in over 18,000 stores in 50 countries. Mephisto has won a variety of awards, including the "Best Shoe in France," the "OSCAR for Export," by the French government, "Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur," and the "2001 PLUS Award for Designer Excellence" in the men's comfort category of Footwear Plus Magazine.

The Mephisto design is very advanced and uses exclusive comfort-related technologies. Mephisto is well-known for using the AIR-JET system. This system provides air circulation to feet and is patented solely by Mephisto. The AIR-JET system allows for daily activities as well as strenuous activities to be more pleasurable and comfortable.
