Donald Pliner Shoes Provide Value, Comfort, and Style All at Once

Jan. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- ‘In the mountains of Italy’ is where he says they are made. They do exert a certain freedom and richness that may only come from the hands of someone blessed with the peace of mind that comes with abiding in such a beautiful setting. With a fashion forward sense of style, and an acute awareness of the modern man’s sensibilities, Donald J Pliner (http://www.mensdesignershoe.com/donald-pliner-shoes/cid-958-1.html) makes shoes that just work. Since 1989 Donald has been presenting his collections to the world and showcasing an artistic freshness and fashion forward instinct that helps drive the footwear industry forward. With a flair for the dramatic, Donald’s collections always find a way to push the limits of boldness in footwear with styles and colors that pull no punches.  See the Pont Stone shoes for an example of this. These are your statement shoes. What is wonderful about the brand though is that it always retains a commitment to more classic and timeless functional shoes that serve as a ‘go to’ for any occasion. See the Rex, the top selling shoe in North America.

A Call to Value

It used to be that ‘Made in Italy’ was equal to saying ‘out of my price range’ for most of today’s professional men who look to designer shoes to accent their style. Italy is certainly the capital of shoe manufacturing and the hub for footwear innovation, craftsmanship, and history. There is a price for quality and Italian shoes have always justified their price. The beauty of the present is that innovative shoe makers like Donald Pliner, have found a way to make Italian shoes, a value purchase. With a collection of Italian made designs that range in price from $210 to $475, there is a truly beautiful Italian shoe for everyone at a reasonable price.

A Call to Style

The well known Italian brands on the market today are at the cutting edge of fashion. The men’s footwear coming out of Italy dictates what the world wears and produces. It’s a heavy burden to carry, but Italy has done it well for many many years. What you can find though is that sometimes the most well known designer shoe brands get caught in a rut. From season to season they can be caught rehashing the same basic styles, with the same classic lines and colors. There is something to be said for timeless and classic footwear. There are some styles and shapes that should never go away. What the men’s footwear industry needs, and every industry for that matter, is that a voice or two who push classic to the limit, who push the boundaries of commonly accepted style to the limit, and in turn redefine commonly accepted style. Donald Pliner does just that. With styles like the Emeri and Embe, featuring classic styles fused with bold contrast color soles, there is an effort and enthusiasm about bringing freshness to the sidewalks. This is exactly the kind of style that would be laughed at just ten years ago by male professionals, and it is exactly the style that is being very widely accepted by those same gentlemen today.

A Call to Comfort

The stories are epic of women flocking to designer shoe rack sales and buying shoes in the wrong size because their size was not available and everything was 60% off. Women stuffing their feet into something a full size or two smaller than what they usually wear in a tortuous attempt to reflect style.  These poor souls severely sacrificing comfort, the way water boarding sacrifices comfort. Although men have not been known to go to such extremes, they certainly will wear the uncomfortable shoe for years because they paid for it, and because it’s too much of a hassle to get back to the shoe store and try on a bunch of new pairs. “Once it’s worn out I’ll get something that feels good” they say to themselves. Two years later and a foot surgery under their belt they realize that wasn’t the best choice. Donald Pliner knows there is a fine line between style and comfort. You cannot supply the customer with one, and ignore the other. If you do you alienate the basic needs of the people wearing your product. Donald Pliner shoes are made with a huge emphasis on comfort. The dress shoes feature flexible leather soles, or leather soles with rubber inserts for comfort. The casuals feature comfort rubber soles. Full leather lining is a signature of the brand and is a must for any truly comfortable designer shoe. Someone out there is looking out for more than just your eyes.

A Call to Indulge

There’s a time in every man’s life when he must decide to spend fifty dollars a year for the next five years on five pairs of mediocre shoes, or pay two hundred and fifty dollars once for a truly impressive pair of footwear that will transform their style and make a statement to all onlookers about who they really are. A well kept pair of shoes can literally last a lifetime, or at least several years or more. Quality costs is not just a catchy phrase, it’s the reality. So there’s wisdom in investing in a product that will provide the style, comfort, and the value you deserve.
