I love this sandal! Not very stylish but it sure is comfortable. I visited a friend in NYC and wore this shoe day and nite. My feet felt great! A good sandal for someone with a narrow foot. You can cinch up the buckel for a snug fit.

I'm hooked! I've owned this Elka for 3 years. I've replaced the cork bed once for 1/2 price through the manufacturer and now I need a new pair again! They show off your painted toes, and are really comfortable.

Mephisto Elka - I have two pairs of this shoe and avoid wearing any others in my wardrobe. I've been diagnosed with having a neuroma and this is the only shoe I can wear without feeling pain! I love them!

Elka is Excellent - After two back surgeries, my feet seem to hurt all the time. The first week in these shoes, I remember thinking that these shoes were not so great. After a month, my other shoes were uncomfortable and these shoes never left my feet this summer. I adjusted my work warddrobe around the shoes! They adjusted to my wide foot, protected my nerve damaged heel from impact, and were lightweight. I wore them on my vacation to the Dominican Republic, rainy, hot, and humid and they still look great. The first week I owned them, I sprayed a suede protector on them so that probably helped. This was the best money on shoes I ever spent.

Comfortable - I am an Registered Nurse with flat feet and most shoes are not comfortable for me. This sandal is the most comfortable shoe I own. I wore them all summer and into the cooler weather (fall) with knee sox. I miss them now that snow is here.

Complete relief from medical foot & back pain - I have a history of back and foot problems. These are the ONLY sandals I have found that I can wear that do not hurt my feet. I currently have to wear custom made inserts ($200) in all my other shoes all day or the pain returns. I discovered them several years ago after I tore the ligaments in my foot and couldn't go barefoot anymore. I have to wear shoes all the time except when sleeping to support my arch. The money I save on doctor appointments more than pays for the new sandals each summer. They are wonderful!

Love this shoe - I own this shoe in seven colors and am waiting to see them in red. I have foot problems and this is the only shoe I can put on and immediately walk in. Also, I wear a ten narrow however, I ordered 11 (which is 41) and the foot bed is perfect and the only thing I need do is have extra holes put in the straps.

Mephisto is the best shoe that I ever own. I have back and feet problems. I bought I don't remember how many pair of shoes until I found Mephisto, but this pair of Elka sandals are the best. I am planning to buy another pair of Elka.
Brands I'd also recommend: Almond sandals from Ecco.

Fantastic sandals. Worth every penny - They're not just stylish, they're comfortable, and how often do you get that combination? I've always had foot and back problems, and I'm a diabetic so I have to watch my feet carefully. The Elka has been a blessing in every area. They cushion my feet for more walking comfort, and they don't rub or chafe so I don't worry about them cutting up my feet either. One note: Mephisto are sold here by American sizes, but the shoes themselves are marked with European sizes. I can tell you that 41 feels true to my 10.5/11 feet.

For feet on "the go" this is my second pair of Mephisto's Elka in the past 4 years. My first pair made it through two trips to China, a few trips to the Colorado Rockies, and keeping up with my toddler nearly every day for 2 summers. These shoes feel like a part of my feet.

I have worn two versions of this shoe for several years and have had each repaired once. I would like very much to have it in a narrow width. I have to punch holes in the straps to make it fit. That would be ok except that the strap is then too long. I have cut the straps off some but it is obviously not a professional job. I hate to pay that much for a sho that doesn't really fit.

The shoe is very comfortable and it looks good. It is a perfect 5 fit, and I wore the sandals on vacation, and it was like wearing a well worn shoe. Service from Zappos was excellent.

Review of Elka - After purchasing these shoes, I expected the ultimate and have not gotten it yet. The biggest objection is that I have gotten a couple of little cuts from under the top buckle (the ones closest to my toes) where the leather has been rubbing on my foot. Hopefully as they wear in, this will not happen again. Otherwise, a great fit.

I love this shoe! I am a big gal and am hard on shoes. I have worn this shoe everyday for five years. It does not wear out! And still looks great. And it is so comfortable. I just can't wear any other shoe after wearing.

Unbelievable comfort - These must be the most comfortable sandals out there. I usually wear heels but I love these. The black patent leather makes them just a little bit dressier. I could wear these all day and experience no discomfort.
