    These boots are it! They are a gorgeous distressed leather with the perfect heel. I have narrow feet and they fit me perfectly in the medium width. I haven't worn them yet, but know they will be great with jeans, pants, skirts, dresses...very versatile.

    These boots are super cute and work well with jeans. Only complaint is the heel is a little wide, so socks slip. I solved that problem by sticking to cashmere socks. They never slide.

    I was so happy when I opened the box. These boots are beautiful. Nice soft, distressed leather. I got the brown and the color is not as red as in the photo, which worked out better for me. I like that the heel is a bit larger than a regular cowboy boot. Very comfortable from the get-go. Way to Western Couture.

    Very well made, lovely boots. run about 1/2 size too small for me. What I really want is another color in the Frye Carson shorty boots (and Frye doesn't have the color I want). These are close but not as comfortable so I'm sending them back.

    Little contrast in leather and suede. No redness, just brown and brown. Not like picture. Loose fitting and not special enough for the price. Would have liked the diversity in color shown.

    About Donald J Pliner

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Donald J Pliner are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    Visionary designer Donald J Pliner launched his line of luxury men's and women's footwear and accessories in 1989. Almost immediately, his name became synonymous with innovative design and high style and unprecedented comfort.

    Inducted into the Footwear News Hall of Fame in 2004, Pliner still designs every pair of shoes himself, carefully screening each new design to ensure perfect fit and function. The Donald J Pliner corporate office and showroom, located on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, transports visitors inside the highly visual world of the designer's mind. A museum-like presentation of shoes-as-art coexists comfortably with a relaxed living-room-like setting.

    And while casual comfort marks the atmosphere of his office, Donald J Pliner is anything but laid back. Nothing goes unnoticed in the world of Donald J Pliner. Colors, shapes and profiles all have meaning. Creative director Lisa Pliner, Donald's wife, works side-by-side with Pliner to develop each new collection, inserting her artist's vision into the designs, colors and textures. The couple’s pure white Maltese, BabyDoll, is an ever-present influence as well. Today, the Donald J Pliner global brand has established an almost-cult following among men and women. Initially attracted by the fashion-forward style, they return for its comfort and craftsmanship. The Donald J Pliner Collection is sold nationwide in select specialty stores and upscale department stores including Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Dillard's and Bloomingdale's, and at the company's five concept stores (Aventura, Coral Gables, Houston, Las Vegas, San Jose). The entire collection is also available online at www.donaldjpliner.com

    from Montana

    Just received these boots today and they are so comfortable right out of the box. Love them! They are quiet to walk around in. I have a high arch, so really need a zipper, so they're great. Usually wear a size 8 1/2 to 9 and the nine worked perfectly with my smartwool hiking socks which I wear with everything. Nice toe room. They do not make my feet look tiny, but that's OK. Way more comfortable than my Frye shorties in almost the same color.

    I got my normal size (7) and still had about 1/2 inch of toe room. The heel was fine - not too loose, not too tight. I have to return and hope they have 6.5. Also - the boot isn't actually as "orange" as it looks in the picture. It is definitely distressed, but not too over the top.

    I absolutely love these boots. Comfortable right out of the box. The picture does not do the color justice! They are gorgeous! Wear a 9M in boots (normally) - ordered a 9 & they fit perfectly. Note - I usually do not wear any heels but these are great! Grab them while they are on sale!
