Edmond Dantes in my review

save your money While these shoes look great, the quality leaves a lot to be desired. I must have worn them ten times and they are already showing signs of poor workmanship. I contacted the company and they offered me 20% off my next pair of Donald J. Pliner shoes. Exactly what I want, 20% off my next pair of shoes from a company I will never buy from again.

Pros
  • This is my 3rd pair. I love them because they are so soft. And they look good, very stylish.
Cons
  • It's pretty hard to explain the landing. I don't really care about these shoes.

The shoes are good, but they didn't fit me

The shoes are good, but they didn't fit me. The length of the shoe was good but the part that goes under the ankle was very high and hit my ankles. I tried to send them back but AtoZ didn't cover the $15 shipping cost. I try to find a compromise with the seller but they don't budge. This supplier/seller left me in bad taste and I will not do business with them in the future. Buy some Eccos instead.

Pros
  • I wore the first pair. Bought these as a replacement.
Cons
  • Style and design variations are absent

Fell apart after 3 months

As others have said these shoes look great but fall apart after just 3 months of use. You should get over 3 months of use for the $250 shoe.

Pros
  • The best evening shoes I've ever worn. This is my 7th pair. The Rex line gives me everything I need.
Cons
  • Can cause back pain due to poor support

Cons
  • The sole is not slippery

Badly done: my review

I bought a pair of these and the first time I wore them the soles of both shoes came off. Nice shoes but a pity that they are poorly finished. Don't buy this.

Pros
  • Fits well, doesn't aggravate my planar fasciitis.
Cons
  • Uncomfortable for people with high arches.

Great shoes! in my rating

Great shoe, very comfortable out of the box. Two things: the material of the heel is hard so they are noisy when walking on hard surfaces, even if the sole is rubber treaded they can still be quite slippery on smooth surfaces like tile floors. I found them a little difficult to get these shoes. Definitely need to sit down and use a shoehorn as the leather upper is a bit flexy. Once on, they are not too tight at the top. Wore them all day with no hot spots for the first time with no problems. I…

Pros
  • Looks great with a suit, only LUX!!
Cons
  • No bow support

I love Pliner and this shoe is very smooth.

I'm biased, I love the pliner and this shoe design is very elegant. The fit is snug and can be a bit difficult to get your feet in, but once they are snug without being uncomfortable. I haven't worn them out yet, but from past experience I don't expect any problems.

Pros
  • This shoe is the most comfortable I've found and looks very stylish on the foot, great price compared to stores.
Cons
  • Expensive for the quality and durability of the shoe

The standard of perfection

Having worn these shoes to work for the last 6 months I have no hesitation in saying that these are the best dress shoes I have ever worn. Nappa leather is incredibly soft and supple - the sides and upper support your foot, but you should feel their love everywhere. I expected the leather to be quite fragile because it's so soft and shiny right out of the box. But even after putting these shoes on in a few sticky nightclub situations, I took them to a shoe shiner and they were brand new again…

Pros
  • Very nice shoes. Excellent quality leather.
Cons
  • Hard to wear for a long time

I have these shoes in different colors and I really like them. They fit great, but you have to be careful when putting them on because if the leather is creased at the opening in the front, it will wear out. Otherwise great shoes.

Pros
  • I love the shoes which I also have in chocolate brown they fit perfectly and are very stylish.
Cons
  • Not suitable for people with wide feet

They are made in China

Only Donald J. Pliner shoes made in Italy. Tuscan guy. Everything else is garbage. The real one can be expensive but worth the quality and headache.

Pros
  • Winning style and fit.
Cons
  • Small size, may cause blisters and discomfort

The best classic shoes in my review

The Pliner Rex Black Nappas are by far the best dress shoes I have ever owned and I have tried many quality shoes. I vowed never to buy a pair of loafers - I always thought loafers were too old fashioned and sloppy. Also, I'm always afraid they'll slip off. A fine clothing store I frequent often uses them as a window when trying on the pants as they are easy to put on and take off and look great. After wearing them a few times I was amazed at how well they hold up and how great they look under…

Pros
  • High quality leather shoes. I've had it for 4 years now and still love it!
Cons
  • Difficult to clean and maintain

Shoe problem in my opinion

The shoes were smaller than at the weekend and already worn on the sides. I have another pair of 9Ms that fit better than the ones I just bought. If I could get an email reply to rico.briglio@firstgeneral.ca I would be grateful.

Pros
  • You were perfect.
Cons
  • Limited color choices available

I liked these shoes

I loved these shoes, the style and comfort was great. However, they don't hold up well. After changing four pairs in less than five years, either the heel will come loose or the microfiber will fray in the toe area, revealing the white mesh underneath. For the price these shoes just don't fit even though they look amazing.

Pros
  • PREMIUM MATERIALS: The Donald J Pliner Rex men's loafers are made from premium black stretch nappa leather, making them strong and durable.
Cons
  • Hard-to-find replacement insoles or insoles

Not quite as advertised

I think the main issue I had with this product was that it wasn't advertised that well. You can find multiple listings of this shoe and they do not match the description. The one I used didn't mention that the material over the shoe looks and feels like a very odd faux/chunky suede. It looks strange even though it's new. I didn't like it, so I gave it two stars "I don't like it". Any depiction of Rex Slip-On as giving it the appearance of genuine leather is misleading.

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Sad device

Donald Pliner Quality

Shipping and customer service from Revains was fantastic. However, the rating is based on the product itself and unfortunately these are not quality shoes. With both shoes, the leather was completely wiped off the heels immediately after unpacking. The man wanted to try them on anyway, even though they fell apart at first glance. However, he didn't get far because the heels had already come loose on every shoe. Again, this was right out of the box. The soles looked brand new, so they didn't…

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Neutral quality

Too small men - loafers and slippers

Bought a pair of these shoes. I loved her. Fits perfectly. Cozy. It looked great. Excellent quality. I liked them so much that a few months later I bought a second pair in a different color and the same size. I was so happy with the first pair that I didn't even try on the second pair until I was ready to go out one night. I was very disappointed to find that they are too small. Uncomfortable little. You can't put a foot too small. They were marked with my size on both the box and the sneakers,

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Expensive

Great looking shoes but watch where you step!

Great looking shoes. I usually wear a size 14 shoes and they fit as expected and are still comfortable. However, I am very disappointed with the soles. I wore them for a day and the bottoms were quite worn. Part of the rubber (in the forefoot area) has come loose. When buying this shoe I would recommend being extra careful and avoiding rough surfaces like asphalt. Stick to carpet and smoother surfaces. And if you're looking for something that can only be worn on special occasions, then it's…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others

Good price and style for men

These shoes replace a similar pair of quality Italian made Hugo Boss shoes that have been a staple in my wardrobe for years. The pliers are just as comfortable as my old fallback and they appear to be repairable too (my Boss shoes have been completely resoled 4 times and still look great). I was distracted. The Pliner's leather upper is soft, and the rubber chevrons on the outsole will likely make them last longer. The style makes them look like boots when standing, only a lot more comfortable.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • No

The one I received turned out to be fake.

I ordered one here and on arrival I inspected it closely and was suspicious of how bad it looked. I then compared it to the model on the manufacturer's website and there were too many design differences between the shoe I received from Revain and Donald J. Pliner's website. Also, I bought the shoes from the manufacturer's website and each came with a piece of plastic to help the heel slide into the back of the shoe, which wasn't here. I then concluded that maybe it was a kickstart so I sent it…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
