Favorite heels! The leather is rich, soft and pliable and the creamy color goes well with anything I wear. Wish i had found them sooner. Their understated elegance works with formal or casual attire. What makes these fit so well is the wide toe box and the right amount of curve under the arch. My wide foot fits all the way in without feeling pinched and my arch feels adequately supported so that my feet do not tire. I can dance in them. Thanks to Zappos' VIP service, I ordered at last minute and wore them the next evening.

I have been wearing this shoe for years. Historically they have been very comfortable and have worn well--holding up to multiple re-soles. Sadly, this will be my last purchase of this treasured stand-by. The quality and fit appear to have been sacrificed--I have blisters where I never have, the size that I have always worn is now sloppy. Very disappointed.

I had hip surgery about 7 years ago and wore special shoes for my therapy and thereafter. Lately, since shifting weight to the "good" leg for so long, I began to have problems with that leg. I noticed that my foot was turning too much in the shoes for therapy, since they were not my usual narrow width, so my daughter helped me find a shoe which supported my feet and helped correct the gait and step I was taking. They are comfortable and can be worn with almost anything in my wardrobe. The important thing is that they give me support and balance.

Love this shoe. Sexy, comfortable, and practical. Received numerous compliments. Great for travelling as they take up very little space in a suitcase.

A beautiful shoe. Very comfortable and runs true to size. Some Narrow sizes feel cramped, but Donald Pliner consistently produces shoes that you can rely on for both comfort and design.

Purchased these shoes at the last minute for a Christmas cruise. Turns out these were my "go to" shoes. Very comfortable, stylish and color (navy) prettier than shown picture. Wish the other colors were available in my size, as would definitely purchase another pair.

I loved these boots and they were even better looking "in person", but I couldn’t get my foot in the boot! If they had a zipper all of the way on the shaft and/or some elastic, that would have helped. I unfortunately had to return them.

One of the most comfortable shoes I have worn. The leather is very soft and easy to slip on the first time. I have a fairly high instep and usually worry about this style. The distressed leather gives it a little extra dressy look, even though this is definitely a casual shoe. Wonderful for travel as it is very lightweight. DP needs to make more lower heeled shoes like this.

I love these shoes. Lots of compliments. They fit a little small. I ordered my normal Pliner size 9 and and 9.5 may have better.

These shoes are amazing! If the price wasn't so high, I would get one in black, too. These are stylish, beautiful and very comfortable.

I love the style of the boot. The heel height is just right for jeans, and the heel plate adds a nice touch. I only wish the black calf had been available when I ordered. The brown is a very nice boot, but the material is kind of suede like and doesn't provide quite as much flexibility (in the look) as a smooth leather boot would.

I love these shoes. They\'re sexy and very comfortable for a high heel. They\'re not heavy or clunky and because the bottom is rubber, you don\'t slip and slide when walking. I\'m a size 4 in sandals and they fit perfectly. Ladies get a pedicure and enjoy wearing these shoes with skinny jeans or anything that shows off your sexy side.

I love Donald Pliner but hate this shoe. The top of the shoe is too high and the leather rubs like crazy. The strap is too short and the rough trim chafed the top of my foot.

Bought two pairs. Love them! I bought both colors in these boots, the black and the distressed brown. Both are fabulous. I love Pliner's couture line made in Italy. They are very well made, worth the money, even when not on sale. The distressed brown boots have a bit of a "cowboy" look, and the black ones have a more traditional "chic" look. If you like the way they look on-line, you will love them in person.

I bought these shoes last month and they are the most comfortable shoes I've purchased in a while. I even ordered them in the brown a few weeks later. I have received many compliments on them. They are snug at first but they stretch to fit. They work very well with jeans and other pants I have. They are pricey, but worth every penny. Thank you Zappos for your excellent service, as always!

Can't figure out why I'm the only to say that these are really slim. I have about 10 pairs of Donald Pliner shoes and the width of these is not in line with all others; it is way too narrow (see photo of shoe bottom). Normally wear a 12M and these are dinner shoes only, i.e. would not like to spend a whole evening on my feet. Great looking though and very sturdy feeling.

Wow! This is the best sandals that I ever had! These are very sexy, super comfortable, and they look so good on skinny jeans or pants! This is my second pair from Donald J Pliner. Gada sandals are a little expensive, but when you wear them there is no price that can beet the look. Donald J Pliner is the best.

These are great dress sandals: very well constructed, with gorgeous, supple leather in a beautiful, subtle, metallic finish. Reasonably comfortable, too; I'm unused to wearing heels and wore them to a party where I was on my feet all evening, and although my feet ached a little afterward, it was nothing compared to the torment of many dress shoes! I thought long and hard before buying shoes this expensive, but in the end, they were worth every penny.

I had my eyes on these last year but couldn't justify the price. As usual Zappos got them to me in a day and they are really cute. I usually wear a 10.5 and these are an 11 so I think they must run a bit small. Thankfully they fit. I ordered them to wear with a black dress.

Adorable! These are so cute. You could wear them with jeans, shirts, or a night out on the town. Comfy and stylish, what more could a gal ask for? The gold is a great color and will go with everything. Worth the money, so treat yourself today. You won't regret it!

I am incredibly disappointed by these shoes. I absolutely adore wedge heels and, at first, I loved these shoes. Great fit, great look, expensive but I'm willing spend more for quality. However, after two months, the sole of the shoe is cracking around the logo. Because I've worn them several times I cannot return them. These shoes are way too expensive to be falling apart after two months. I used to love the Donald J Pliner brand, but I'll never purchase them again.

Gorgeous boot, comfortable right out of the box. Bought them for travel and can wear them all day. Also bought the taller full boot in Lead color and they are equally comfortable. They are surprisingly light in weight which is a plus for packing. Thank you Donald Pliner for great fitting shoes and Zappos for carrying them.

About Donald J Pliner

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.
