Product Description

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 of shoes. A life-long and family tradition is continued with his luxuriously comfortable footwear that never compromises creativity or fashion. Visionary designer Donald J Pliner launched his line of luxury footwear and accessories in 1989, and immediately established a reputation for innovative design and high style for both men and women. Pioneering new materials, such as stretchable micro-fibers, he also brought unprecedented comfort, flexibility, and lightness to footwear. Born into a Chicago-based family shoe business, life at DJP is also a family affair. Creative director Lisa Pliner, Donald's wife and frequent model for the innovative ad campaigns, works side-by-side with him to develop each new collection, inserting her artist's vision into the designs, colors and textures. And the Pliner's pure white Maltese, BabyDoll, is ever present, inspiring her own clothing line for the past three years. Today this global brand, manufactured in both Italy and Spain, has established an almost cult following among people who were originally attracted by the fashion-forward style, but return again and again for the comfort and craftsmanship.

because these boots are so comfortable and I think they will last forever
I would give a 5 star rating, because these boots are so comfortable and I think they will last forever, however the stitching along one of the zippers is not stitched at all along a small section, so I will have to pay to have a leather smith re-stitch. Considering I was able to purchase these when they were on sale $110.00, I can't really complain.I will say these are for a narrow calf and fit very snug against my jeans, but it is hard for me to find boots that fit my calves so that is actually a plus.Hope this helps!

These boots are beautiful! I have the black two toned brushed suede and leather color and they look better than the pictures. They look like they are already broken in by the texture. They are very comfortable and fit on the smaller side. I am usually a 6 in dress shoes and 6.5 in running shoes. I bought the 6.5 to have room to wear thick socks if needed. They fit perfect and do not need to be broken in. The leather is soft and very high quality. The zippers are nice and also high quality. I bought these when they were on sale and it's the best boot I've ever owned. I want to wear them everyday and pick out my outfits around the boots! I even get compliments on them from men! I want them in every color!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great boot, unique, sexy, and form fitting!

I first saw this pair of boots at Nordstrom for the full price of $398. The price scared me away so I kept searching for the perfect pair. I couldn't get these boots out of my head and despite all my searches, did not see anything else out there like it. I finally caught a great deal and ordered them via Amazon. They arrived in 2 days and I have been choosing outfits to wear just so I can wear these boots. I love snug fitting boots, ones that elongate my legs as well as look sexy with a skirt. These boots do just that. If wearing pants, you will have to wear tights or skinny jeans because they do hug your calves. I bought these in vintage suede black and in size 7. The size is true to size, so if you are normally a 7, go for 7. I know that I will probably wear these for more than this season, more like a couple years since the quality of the leather is superb and black is pretty classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!

I have been eyeing the DJP Devi boot for two years now, but I just couldn't justify spending over $300 on a pair of boots (the black reverse calf has a current retail price of $398 at DJP). The price was right on Amazon, so I finally made the purchase...and these boots did not disappoint! I am usually a size 7 to 7.5, but a size 7 was the right choice with these boots. I have a high instep and my feet run a bit wide, although not wide enough to require wide-width shoes. The width of the Devi is good for me. The instep is a bit snug, but I imagine it will stretch with wear. I usually wear tights with my boots, so I don't like them too loose. If you have a high instep and plan on wearing thick socks, you may need to go up a half-size. I like that the foot of these boots is smooth leather, which I find easier to maintain than suede or nubuck. I almost ordered the all leather version from DJP, but then found these instead. Perfect!

4.0 out of 5 stars Espresso is best, Runs a bit large and loose in heel, Sizing/Quality is all over the place
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2015
Verified Purchase
I could not decide which color to get in these boots so I purchased the espresso, olive and bronze sparkle. Here is what I thought about the colors and then about sizing and manufacturing:
Color:
Espresso - sexy, cool, color slightly hints toward red, color looked mostly uniform, make my 5'4" legs look longer than they are, I was unsure about the reddish tones

Olive - sexy, more neutral color, look a bit spotty with the lighter colors showing more than the dark. The boot did not look green to me, more of a taupe color with light spots. I really wanted to love these more than the espresso because the color was more neutral but I could not get over the spotty look. The spots distracted from the overall look and I felt took away from the leg lengthening effect

Bronze Sparkle - I thought this color would be the answer to my indecision about the other two. No go. The color was pretty up close (dark brown with a hint of sparkle), but flat and boring when looking in the mirror. The lack of contrast made it hard to see the cool details of this boot and it was not sexy at all. These were my least favorite.

Sizing:
I am normally a size 7 in dress shoes and never smaller. I have a somewhat narrow foot and shoes tend to slip in my heels. The 7 was loose all over, especially in my heel and it was even loose with thick socks. The 6.5 is snug but I think a better fit. I will use thin socks and hope they stretch out a little. My calves are average to thin. I zipped these with no problem, but they are snug for sure.

Quality: If I could give less stars just for this, I would. I am now ordering my 3rd pair in espresso to get ones that: do not appear to have been worn, and fit the same on both feet. I have now tried 5 pairs in total (different colors too) some are bigger on the right, others on the left. One pair had a rip in the leather. Some have come with nice and secure new packaging, others thrown in a torn and taped box with no packaging materials. Not sure what is going on with Amazon here - perhaps they are trying to get rid of floor samples. The packaging and quality control is seriously all over the map.

Overall, I liked the Espresso best. I am still waiting for my perfect pair to come in the mail. I will be sticking with this boot because out of the 30 or so different styles I have tried from Frye to Paul Green, these are by far the cutest, sexiest and give me the western but stylish/sexy look I am going for. Hoping 3rd time is the charm!

5.0 out of 5 stars great boots olive NOT camo
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2015

I just got my boots in the mail. I wanted the espresso but ordered the olive. I was worried that they were going to look to "camo" from reading some of the other reviews. they don't they look great and I love them. there much to dark to look even vaguely camo. So the person that said don't "but the olive" and that is how she spelled buy, is wrong. If you want something unique and a little different you cant go wrong and its neutral enough you should even be able to wear it with black. I got these because I already owned a lot of black boots and now Im glad I took a chance. Anyway they fit true to size but it you have thick calves they might be a little tight at first but will probably stretch. I like them so much I might get another pair either in black or the bronze sparkle. I did order the bronze and what the hell amazon? instead of coming in the red Donald pliner box they came in a brown box with no wrappings inside and they looked like they had been worn you pay 200 dollars for a pair of boots and that is unexceptable

The design of this boot is amazing. The fit of the boot is NOT. Other reviewers complained of the calves being too narrow, that was ok for me. It was the extremely tightly fitting toe box that has me sending these back. Very disappointed and do not believe a size up will change a thing. Too bad! The styling is just stunning and the boot appears to be well made otherwise...

I am dying over these boots. I loved them so much I had them tailored to fit my leg 100% perfect. They are so gorgeous, so well made, and so sexy hot that I just happened to fall on the brown Devi4 and bought those too. Within 2 weeks I became a proud owner of 2 pairs of Devi's. I'm loving my footwear choices from Amazon/Shoe Metro and I'm loving the lack of returns even more. Do your homework, read the reviews and hopefully you will nail 98% of your online purchases as I have. Good luck ladies!!
