Great looking belt, but you may have to order 1-2 sizes up. I am normally a 34, too small...tried a 36, too small. Just ordered a 38...we will see. I would think I was getting fat, but all my pants still fit.

Couple of things to consider before you purchase... I learned the hard way and ordered the belt size in what I thought was a couple of extra inches (36 in.), but had to return it for (38 in). The leather is okay; it's not supple (oil tanned) or very pliable (I think mid-grade harness leather?) but it will soften in time with use. This was a test purchase because I never purchased this brand and I originally was interested in their boots; however, I am hesitant on spending a lot if their belts are up to par (especially after recently purchasing Frye boots - magnificent!). But the width of the belt is ultimately what I needed for jeans...so it is a functional piece.

I really love this belt! I'm female, and normally wear a size medium belt...got this in a 32, and it fits perfect.

Most comfortable shoe ever owned. These shoes are outstanding. I just wish they came in beige or tan........I LOVE MY DONALD PLINER SHOES!!! I am on my feet for 12-14 hours at work and when I wear these, I am comfortable and still feel my shoes are pretty and feminine.

I have this shoe and I also find it to be THE most comfortable shoe, EVER! I also wish it came in a beige color of some sort! Awesome shoe. I'm trying to locate another just like it!

My Feet are In Love - What can I say? They look great with suits, are comfortable after standing ALL day (I'm a middle school teacher), and wear quite well. I'm on my 3rd generation of black, 2nd of blue, and desperately seeking brown. My feet are in love.

Most comfortable all day shoe - I was introduced to DJP shoes back in the early '90's. I have a very high arch, no heel, the ball's of my feet always got the work out. DJP shoes are the only shoes for me, expecially for working all day and into the evening!

Amazing shoe - If you ever try on a pair of Donald Pliner shoes, you will be hooked for life. The look and the comfort and the quality are unmatched. This is a great looking classy shoe. Very comfortable right out of the box. I have a narrow foot and a high arch. Got the narrow and these fit perfectly. Pliner shoes are very true to size. Thanks so much, Zappos!

Style and comfort! Donald J. Pliner footwear combines both style and comfort -- an almost impossible combination in women's shoes. The silk elastic has a beautifully smooth finish, provides just enough stretch to make them uncannily comfortable but still provide great support for the foot. I always look for Pliner shoes because they are high quality, fashionable designs and comfortable.

The best walking shoe in the world!!! I am on my second generation of this very shoe. It is an absolute classic. Extremely well structured, amazingly comfortable AND stylish. I actually threw away into the garbage bin (LITERALLY) my previous pair - they were worn out to the max. Needless to say, I was ecstatic to find a new pair in the very same style. With all other high couture shoes I own, these are one of my favorites: with jeans, with opaque black micro fiber tights and a wooly skirt. Note for Mr. Pliner: PLEASE DO NOT EVER STOP MAKING THESE!!! Thank you.

Comfortable, attractive - I love these shoes, I had owned 2 pair that I purchased several years ago and was very excited to see them back this year. They look great with business suits and are true to size. Great quality shoes.

Glamorous business shoes - These shoes are so elegant and simple, they make every outfit dressier. Under pants they look almost like a boot. Haven't tried them with a skirt yet. They fit like comfy slippers, true-to-size.

Perfect work shoe - This is my second pair. I'm on my feet a lot for my job, so I wore the first pair out in two years. I love this shoe, it goes with everything.
