I think Mephisto distributes them. And it has nothing to do with being
uncultured...it is sort of a cult thing...I discovered them in '92 when
a friend at Newsday showed me a pair of what he described as "the
world's most comfortable - and ugliest - shoes.." and they are close to
being both...although there are now some better looking
Mephistos....Always looking for comfortable shoes for my uncomfortable
feet, I bought a pair of suade Mephistos that looked like a cross
between desert boots and PF flyers, and wore them for my month in East
Africa...after my first foray into and out of Somalia, I dumped them
into the sink in my hotel room and washed the inch of dust and camel
dung off them...let them dry over night, and then put them back
on...great shoes....
