Mephisto

Mephisto is a French footwear brand founded in 1965 by Martin Michaeli, who aimed to create the best shoes in the world. The brand's name originated in Sessenheim, the village where Michaeli lodged at L'Auberge du Boeuf, an inn that also houses a small museum dedicated to Goethe, author of Faust, whose character Mephisto inspired the name. Mephisto produces footwear including the Rainbow, Barracuda Mt, Cruiser, Peppo and Lady models, and its products have been cited by GQ, Forbes and the Wall Street Journal. The Rainbow was selected among 'Les 100 Icônes du Style Français'.

In 1965, Martin Michaeli founded MEPHISTO with the ambition of creating the best shoes in the world. The idea for the name was born in Sessenheim, the village where Michaeli lodged at L'Auberge du Boeuf, a half-timbered hotel-restaurant that also houses a small museum dedicated to Goethe, author of Faust; the character Mephisto appears in Goethe's reworking of the Faust myth. In 1966 the first MEPHISTO models were produced. In 1969, a new manufacturing site was built in Sarrebourg, covering 1,500 m2, with modern installations including an automatic conveyor in the stitching workshop and a line in the assembly workshop.

Comfort-focused footwear with a French heritage; described by the Wall Street Journal as a cult brand appreciated by true sneaker connoisseurs.
