These are the white sandals I have been trying to get for the last five years. I have this style in black and have been unable to obtain these Mephisto sandals in white until now. I had to purchase white sandals in another brand, but there is no comparison to these. These Mephistos are worth the money because of the comfort and the fact that they wear well. They are classic and will last for years if you store them carefully when not in use. I know how happy I have been with the black Agave sandal I have --the support is excellent, the velcro staps make it easy to get on and off quickly, they are adjustable if the feet swell and are good for travel and walking.They show off best with maxi dresses, long skirts and pants. But while they are not as dressy as thinner strap sandals, they will not ruin the look of most short dresses because they are attractive and look very well made--which they are.The uppers are made of leather. The combination of cork soles and specially designed rubber bottoms cushion the feet on city sidewalks the way athletic shoes do. I have purchased and worn a number of Mephisto sandals and walking shoes, and this style, Agave, is among my favorites for sheer solidity and the ease of putting them on and off.I purchased my first pair of Mephistos, a walking shoe that resembles a very expensive sneaker, in 1998, when I was taking physical therapy as a hospital out patient and desperately needed extraordinary support because my balance was off. I still wear them, although obviously not every day, and only a few months of the year because they are white. I got another pair of Mephistos, walking shoes in brown and black when I was in England a few years later. I still wear them--in the winter months. I have not had to have them refurbished, but I know that Mephisto does have facilities which do just that.The Agave sandals give me the comfort of orthopedic shoes because most, although not all Mephistos, are designed for comfort. They all originally were made in France, each pair handcrafted. Unfortunately since Mephistos have been farming certain models out to be made in other countries, I cannot automatically count on any Mephisto shoe fitting the same way they used to be and being of the same uniform quality. I have heard that the All Round Mephistos are made in China, and the Mobiles in France and Portugual.
