Dress up or dress down Geela - I purchased the Geela in a medium width as there were no Narrows available. They were too wide however they are constructed so nicely I was able to have my shoemaker tighten the straps. I love them and they are incredibly comfortable for such a flat shoe. They look great with skirts, capris or long pants & jeans. I highly recommend them.

Strappy summery and versatile - Was looking for a strappy metallic sandal...What a beautiful and versatile shoe. The color is fantastic...a burnished gold/bronze and very soft supple leather that feels great immediately. Not much to the shoe but really something to look at and just perfect for shorts/skirts as a nicer alternative to flip-flops or with summer sundresses or could even dress up for dinner out in the heat wave we're having. Pricey but seem well made with good materials. Just love em.

Comfortable and pretty - Normally I prefer a wedge and something with a little more of a heel. This sandal is fairly flat compared to my other Pliner sandals. It is a beautiful shoe that can be worn with just about anything. I have the silver metallic and wear them with capris and Bermuda shorts. They could easily be worn with skirts or slacks. The leather toe strap is roomy enough for my big toe, so it does not feel constricted. The leather straps are not too stiff, so there was no break in period.

I ordered these shoes in a narrow and unfortunately they are too wide. Normally narrow shoes in Donald Pliner fit me perfectly. They are beautiful shoes though!

Sharp, strappy, sexy - Love the look, however, as with most Pliner shoes I've tried during the last year, the sizing seems to be a little on the tight side. Pliner was a shoe brand I could confidently purchase without trying on; not so now. Don't get me wrong, when I see styles I like, I'll continue to try them out; just wish I didn't have to send so many back. Will always be a huge Pliner fan as long as I can find a few that fit.

Great Sandal!!! Love this sandal!! Very comfortable and true to size. I got an 8 narrow and they actually fit my narrow foot. Love Donald Pliner shoes and sandals!

Donald J Pliner's Geela - Stunning sandal!!! The only problem is the strap over the big toe and across the foot seems so tight. I keep trying them on hoping that my foot was just swollen on the previous day - but no luck. FYI - I do not have a wide foot either.

I loved the style, but the stretch straps where they connect to the sole of the sandal have almost become stretched so far that the straps are ready to come off.

Geela Sandals - While the sandals have a great look to them, they are not comfortable to walk in. I have a narrow foot and purchased accordingly, but I find myself struggling to keep the bed of the shoe aligned and the sandal on my feet.

Great shoe, flawed design - I love this sandal. Unfortunately, I had to return my first pair as the elastic started to break with the inside strap of one sandal. Zappos was absolutely fantastic handling the return and re-ship. Even more disappointing, it has only been two weeks; the new new pair is doing the same thing. I am going to take them to a shoe repair store and see what they can do, if anything, because I love their look and would like to keep them. I have had many, many Pliner shoes in the past, and this is the first time I have had a problem.
