Its hard to find patent leather sandals that look attractive, not orthopedic!These shoes can be dressed up or down and they are very comfortable.

I was extremely happy with a pair of black patent leather Elka purchased two years ago. When the model became available in brown, I purchased a pair two months ago. The leather in the new pair was stiffer than in the first pair, but did not take long to "break in." The new pair is made in Portugal instead of France. I own many comfort shoes, mostly Mephistos, Wolkys, Noats, and Eccos. By far, the Mephisto Elka is the best for comfort. I custom fit the Elka footbed by reaching under the footbed cover and tearing off some of the rubber/cork mixture with pliers so that the footbed and adjacent strap do not hurt my small toe. I have done this kind of custom fitting to other Mephisto models with a cork/rubber sole with great success.
Wears this shoe: For casual outings, in particular sightseeing.

I have an old pair of Elka in black leather and have worn them for several years. The comfort and style is especially nice for spring and summer. The patent leather dresses it up a notch and the comfort of Mephisto cannot be beat.
Wears this shoe: This shoe wears nicely with slacks, skirts, and jeans.
