I was delighted to find these Birkenstock sandals.  I have wanted a pair of patent leather ones for many years.  I was excited to locate exactly what I wanted.  They have the comfort you expect from a pair of Birkenstocks.  If you have never worn Birkenstock products before, remember to wear them for short periods of time to allow them to soften and set to your feet.  Then you will never want to take them off.
