Mephisto? Why not!

Y'all know by now that I'm a practical sort of gal and as much as I like fashion and glitz, it don't mean nothing to me if it's not wearable. Living in a walker's town makes this Weltanschauung all the more justified.

In that spirit, and because my plantar fasciitis has bothered me SO much lately that I kinda let out a soft scream every time I get up, I decided to try a pair of Mephisto's.

Make no mistake: I consider Mephisto styles to be somewhere between fugly and approximately wearable. Paragons of style, they are not. Also, they're usually in the $200+ category, which is a no-no for this, and this may come as a surprise for you, utterly frugal shoe lover. However, as you may know, Mephisto is one of the most famous brands in comfort shoes, so I guess it's only fair that I would give them a chance, which came in the shape of this red Mary-Jane:
I snatched the last pair in my size on Zappos for $40, which seemed just about the right price to me for a trial (regularly they're about $230). And let me tell you, they do live up to the comfort hype: plenty of arch support, roomy, outrageously comfortable. I'm in fact really pleased. Sure, they do look somewhat homely--something that LRRH would obviously wear on her errand to her grandma's house--but hey, my poor achy feet deserve the comfort, and the bright red color is bound to cheer anyone up. All I'm missing is a couple of blonde braids and a red hoodie to complete the look.... :)

I found a similar pair on 6pm, but I think the red is different.

Scarpediem, I think you're charitable for giving the Mephistos a chance, as they are comfort shoes with all the fugliness that so often goes with that moniker. Have you see the new Anyi Lu line? Any thoughts? And the really pressing question: what's your assessment of the new Cole Haan line with Nike Air? What if -- gulp -- there were heels that were comfortable!!?? What would we talk about?
