Mephisto Women's Minoa Comfortable Walking Sandals - Lightweight Orthopedic Arch Support for Travel, Beach & Summer Outfits

I have the worst left foot and had bunion surgery 4 months ago to try to fix some of my pains. Now I have complications from surgery like metarsalgia and ankle pain and have been on a major hunt for some cute shoes with a little bit of heel because I am a very short 4'10" young petite lady that has been wearing gym shoes for months! Time to find some shoes now that I am on the mend and can tolerate small heels (but only if they are comfortable!). I bought these shoes just to "see" what mephistos are all about. My podiatrist actually recommended this brand if I wanted to wear heels. I looked it up and literally scoffed at the price and discarded the thought of even trying these. Who pays $270 for shoes??? Not me! Even spending $185 for Naot Mystery sandals had me crying (but turned out so worth it!). Those Naot Mysterys were the highest priced shoe I had bought in my life! So in come these black Mephisto Minoa sandals that I would just "try" with no intention of keeping. Short story, these arrived and I "tried" them. "Tried" turned into "keep." "Keep" turned into order another color. Sigh... So yes, these sandals are the most comfortable sandal I have tried to date. After searching for a long time, I found the brand that works best with my terrible foot. Just wish Mephisto would have more of their cuter, younger styles in size 5 =(. While these Minoa sandals are not terrible looking, they are a bit matronly with the larger straps. Too bad Mephisto Batida doesn't even seem to come in size 5 anywhere. I have been converted and will continue to look out for new cute Mephistos that hopefully come in my small size.
