What to know about this mule
Mephisto hand-assembles its uppers and uses a shock-absorbing heel insert, which is a quieter, softer take on the same problem Dansko solves with rigidity. Leather stretches across the width over the first few weeks and barely at all in length. Buy for length, let width settle.
Cork wants sealing once or twice a year at the exposed rim. Untreated, it dries and crumbles at the edges; sealed, it lasts as long as the shoe.
Backless clogs suit people who take shoes on and off constantly. They suit stairs less. A cold-weather clog. Lined uppers run warmer than they look, and are better indoors and on short outdoor trips than on long walks.
Most of these are built on EU lasts and converted inconsistently to US sizing. Where you can, work from the EU number.
Leather needs roughly a day to release the moisture it absorbed from your foot. Two pairs alternated each last more than twice as long as one worn daily.
