Full details

FAQs

What is Soft-Air Technology?

Soft-Air Technology is an exclusive Mephisto midsole system designed to absorb shock, protect joints, and provide exceptional comfort during walking and standing.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness.

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

The Mephisto Rainbow shoes offer good traction for casual walking and light trails. However, they are not designed as specialized hiking boots and may lack the ankle support and ruggedness required for serious hiking.

What is the benefit of the speed lacing system?

The speed lacing system allows for quick and easy adjustment of the shoe's fit, ensuring a secure and personalized feel without the hassle of traditional laces.

How long does it typically take to break in these shoes?

Break-in periods can vary. For handcrafted leather shoes, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear for them to fully conform to your feet.

What materials are the shoes made from?

The upper is made from 100% soft leather, and the sole is made from durable rubber.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive wetness.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or stiff initially.

This is common with high-quality leather. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using a leather conditioner to soften the material.

Laces are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the speed lacing system's mechanism is clean and free of debris. Gently pull and release the laces to find the smoothest adjustment point.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

While the branded tread offers good grip, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris that could reduce its effectiveness.

Care:
