I bought this to use with the beige Yael shoes to protect them. I applied two light sprays and wiped any larger drops with a clean white cloth so there wasn’t any spotting. This spray went on much better than the Birkenstock spray for those shoes. My mephisto Yael shoes are only a few weeks old (worn twice, dry conditions) so I don’t know how well the protector spray works yet. I appreciate the ease of use and the reasonable price point. I plan to reapply the protectant spray every six months or so.
I bought these shoes for a trip to France in the fall. I have migrated from a size 9 shoe to a size 9.5 with age, and a lot of the recommended travel sneakers (hooka, vionic) look huge on my feet. This shoe is attractive and comfortable. It will look great dressed up and dressed down. The taupe will go with a lot of colors and will show less dirt than white. I bought the mephisto stain treatment spray and that was easy to use and will hopefully protect the leather. The fit is comfortable. Sometimes tennis shoes rub my ankle, and these do not. I have worn them a few times and do not have any hot spots from rubbing. I do wish the ball of my foot toward the front of the shoe had a bit more padding. I laced the shoes similar to how it is shown in the picture and they are a little bit hard to tighten and get my foot in because the laces go into the eye sockets in a downward orientation. I think I am going to switch the laces to a more traditional upward through the eye sockets lacing so I don’t have this (small) hassle putting the shoe on while traveling. I wish I could have purchased a spare set of shoe laces in the same color because it is very distinct and sometimes laces show more dirt than leather. Also I would have purchased a pair of longer laces in the same color because I went down a bit of a rabbit hole looking at sneaker lacing styles. All in all they are a great shoe for travel, date night, and going out with the girls.
