These shoes are beautiful, but not comfy enough for me. They have the perfect heel height for pants, beautiful soft leather, a chic look; but leather sole, I'm just not doing that anymore. I tried gel insoles which improved them a bit, but not enough. I really want a shoe/boot that is super comfortable and doesn't bother me after quite a few hours. I ended up with Merrell Spire Stretch, which aren't quite so sleek, but same heel height and so comfortable. They look a lot like these, too. I have tons of Donald Pliner shoes, especially sandals. Wish good looking shoes would be more comfortable.

Like most Donald Pliner sandals, these are extremely comfortable. The color is gorgeous and I\'ve received many compliments. However, several times my foot has slipped off my car brake pedal while wearing them. In the future, I won\'t drive with them on.

Great dressy sandal. Feels true to size (and my feet are not narrow). Thong feels great and helps keep foot in place. The strap across the toes is tight at first, but is leather and softens out after a few hours. In short, love these shoes. I have bad knees and cannot wear high heels, with the exception of Pliner shoes. I hope Zappos stocks more of Pliner shoes (in all styles), especially in the popular sizes (6 throgh 8.5) as they sell out too quickly.

Comfort with class! Perfect with light or dark-colored jeans! These are a "must have". Pliner's western boots are an essential for the "American Western" part of each woman's wardrobe. I wear them all day and everywhere without problems, either when dressing up or dressing down. Pliner boots take me everywhere. Men take notice of these boots; other women adore them. I add power soles to my Pliner boots in order to preserve the beautiful leather soles. With Power Soles the boots last for years and take any type weather conditions or terrain.

These boots are great! The brown is not the same color as the picture (more milk chocolate brown). I have been searching for a few years to replace my everyday DP boots and this year they finally came out with a comparable style. I purchased the black first and as soon as I received them I ordered the brown!

After breaking my back in December I was in dire need of a comfortable pair of shoes that would give me lift to wear with all my longer pants so that I wouldn't have to get them all hemmed & still give me a long line but without being a high heel. These shoes fits the bill. I have several DJP & the norm is that they are very comfortable & fit my narrow foot perfectly. These did not disappoint. They fit true to size & the 7 1/2 Narrow fits my foot like a glove. The black sport suede goes well with everything from dress slacks to jeans.

As usual the DJP's Rasha is great. I bought it in black suede and walnut. I have a narrow foot and the N fits great and they are so comfortable. I just love them. I ordered them one day and they were at my house the next. Zappos is the greatest.

Classy, comfortable and top quality! The heel is wood stack so no need to worry about damaging while driving, etc. Love this shoe, this is a very specific style, good to pair with skinny jeans, leggings or a short dress.

Nice feel. I have a wider foot as was worried they were going to be too narrow. They fit like a glove, largely because the upper material is stretchy and comfortable. Loved the silver plate on the back, nice touch. Easy heel height to walk in.

Gorgeous shoe, but felt a little shorter than what I normally wear. I would order a longer or wider shoe as this is snug.

Love these boots. Bought them several years ago in 3 other colors and still wear those. When I saw a new color choice I had to have them. Fit great and true to size. Most comfortable boots I have ever owned!

I just received these boots and I'm just disappointed that I didn't get to see them a lot sooner because now many sizes and colors are no longer available. I absolutely love them. They're classic and can be worn with just about anything, not to mention they're so comfortable. A great purchase!

This is a striking, elegant boot, very comfortable. Bought 2 colors, lead metallic which has enough brown and gray to blend with chocolate, black or gray slacks, plus blue metallic. I wear designer clothes, so look carefully at color and lines. Bought 1/2 size larger and inserted thin full pad so I could walk all day and evening. Have Achilles tendinitis and slight arthritis in one knee and can wear these all day with no problem. These boots are fantastic!

Fit is true to size, but the narrow was too wide at the ball of the foot for me. It was a great looking shoe and the curved sole made it comfortable to walk in.

Fit is true to size but the sole has an uncomfortably rough seam. The elastic insert on the top of the shoe rubbed. Too bad I had to send them back

I love these boots. Super comfortable and the heel is the perfect height for me. I ordered a 1/2 size bigger bc of the pointed toe.

Oh, well. Not for you unless if you have calf muscles. Couldn't zip 'em up all the way. Pity, they're rather cute. I don't know why they need to be made quite so narrow at the top. They're a low boot, after all.

Wow! Yes, they're expensive, but I'm considering buying a second pair. (1) the shape is conservative and (2) the color is neutral (pewter) so it goes with everything (3) and it's kind of dressy / edgy looking. Plus the heel is the perfect height. I'm between 8.5 and 9 and the 8.5 was too small. 9 is perfect.

Another great Donald Pliner shoe. I usually wear an 8.5 medium width, and these shoes fit me right out of the box. Immediately comfortable, and a great way to dress up jeans without having to wear heels. The zebra hair is so much fun and yet not an aggressive statement, either. I would recommend these shoes to anyone. I live in California and plan to wear them through the winter.

I love these shoes! I have several pairs of mules from Donald Pliner (wish they would make more syles!) These are as comfortable as they get. The red is not as red as the picture shows. It is more of a muted red. They are a little pricy - but the comfort is definitely worth it!!

About Donald J Pliner

Vive la Vivid is the word this season from Donald. His vision: A breathtaking prism of shades that are irresistibly arresting. The crowning jewels of DJP’s spring collection: gem-toned shoes, handbags and leatherwear inspired by bold and sultry tropical tints, from the inimitably sensual warmth of a golden sunset to the sexy, statuesque bloom of a cherry-red bird of paradise.

The Donald J Pliner Spring 2008 Collection continues to bridge fashion with altruism with a collection grouping of shoes and handbags discreetly identifying the foundation’s mission with peace symbols. A percentage of company sales will fund the foundation. An irresistible combination: fashion with a passion for peace.

Before you think the Pliners’ noble cause is their only passion, take note that there are as many facets to Donald and Lisa’s tremendous life as there is creative inspiration for Donald each season in designing his footwear. Donald’s characteristic, almost childlike enthusiasm for the good things in life, from a leisurely bike ride near their Miami residence with Starr and BabyDoll in-tow to a romantic evening with his outgoing wife Lisa, is apparent in every step he takes. “My passion for the process of designing, living and breathing each of my collections is always there, but life has become even more fulfilling since Lisa and I started the foundation.

And the dynamic duo of Donald and Lisa have always been known for their extensive dossier of charitable efforts, from starting the Toe Box Foundation for the Miami City Ballet to involvement in the Make-A-Wish Foundation, The Humane Society, and the Jackson Memorial Children’s Hospital. But their own foundation grew out of adopting their beautiful daughter, Starr Emmanuelle, from an orphanage in Kazakhstan three years ago. “Seeing all these children who may never be adopted over there gave us a reason to make it our mission to do something about it,” says Donald.

"When the feet are uncomfortable, so is the mind and body." With these words, Donald J Pliner has committed his life to the quality and perfection of an innovative line which includes Donald J Pliner shoes, Donald J Pliner handbags, Donald J Pliner Belts and Donald J Piner Jrs’ shoes. A life-long and family tradition is continued with his luxuriously comfortable footwear that never compromises creativity or fashion.

In 1989, Donald created a women’s line under his own name (years later, he would incorporate the same types of materials and comfort features into a line of Donald J Pliner shoes for men). Donald Pliner shoes and accessories were an instant hit with women the world over. In 1994, the first all-over elastic Donald J Pliner shoe was designed with ultimate comfort in mind. Elastic uppers increase blood flow and provide an incredible fit all day long. Today, the signature elastic Donald Pliner shoe has evolved into an extensive collection of stretchy, strappy sandals in addition to comfy pumps and stretch boots. But Donald doesn’t stop there when it comes to comfort. Most of his women’s dress styles feature sexy silhouettes with suede inserts, so that they can be worn with or without hose. In addition, Donald J Pliner ballet flats have a hidden wedge for support.

Donald Pliner shoes were only the beginning. He also extends his fashion creativity and comfort beyond boots, shoes and sandals. In 2002, Donald J Pliner handbags were re-launched with a complete makeover to match the shoe collection. Pushing the envelope of fashion, while maintaining a level of comfort and functionality, is Donald Pliner’s forte. You can count on experiencing comfort, contemporary looks and superior quality when you choose a Donald Pliner shoe, handbag or accessory.
