The process starts with the search for the best leathers. Mephisto chooses skins individually and specifically for every type of shoes.

They then cut each pair with either a water jet machine or cutting knifes and a power press.

Shoes go through quality control step. Each pair is checked from 7-9 times during the manufacturing process.

They meticulously stitch the leather together and then piece it together with the upper part of the shoe.

Every pair of shoes is put on a last to condition it for comfort. They assemble the shoe by putting it together, the rubber sole with the upper, by using special glues. They then add a latex foam midsole to provide your feet with a comfortable footbed between the upper and the outsole.

The outsole is then stitched; a genuine Mephisto mark of quality.

At the end of the manufacturing process the shoes go through the quality control once more. The finished product is then ready to be cleaned and boxed for shipping.

Mephisto's growth has been steady and uninterrupted. Mephisto is one of the leading companies in France and a benchmark of perfection known around the world. Mephisto all-natural, handmade footwear is now available in 45 counties.
