The Mephisto Tyrmin is for the man who values comfort and style. The upper is made of breathable, full grain leather. The stitching on the upper of the Tyrmin creates a bit of subtle design work while the tongue and heel are softly padded to eliminate rubbing and sore spots. Additional features of the Mephisto Tyrmin include a shock absorbent heel to buffer the foot and protect joints and vertebrae, an active suspension system, a bilateral stabilizer for balance and support, and a contoured footbed. The rubber outsole is designed to grip any surface, yet it is lightweight and flexible. The Mephisto Tyrmin is a versatile walking shoe that you can wear for years.
