Mephisto Technology



Super-soft walking experience

In adapting to an upright gait the human foot is highly anatomical and functionally complex. A quarter of the approx. 220 bones in the human body are located in the feet.

In order to protect the particularly pain sensitive feet from the hard impact of daily walking, MEPHISTO has outfitted every one of its shoes with the internationally patented SOFT-AIR TECHNOLOGY.





Healthy Foot Climate

Our feet spend long hours inside shoes every day. For many people this leads to increased perspiration - the climate inside the shoe is similar to a sauna, which often leads to uncomfortable side effects!

The SOFT-AIR TECHNOLOGY along with the all natural inner linning, ensures a healthy and constantly pleasant foot climate.



Tireless Walking

Hard treading impact of walking constantly puts a strain on the whole body. Joints, vertebrae and the spine are subject to this unnatural stress while walking on hard surfaces for a lifetime.

Special shock absorbers in the heel and the soft, shock absorbing SOFT-AIR mid-sole in all MEPHISTO shoes and sandals reduces this damaging impact to an absolute minimum.
