Is the Hilari sandal true to size?

Donald Pliner sandals generally run true to size, but the thong strap and buckle mean fit varies by foot width. If you are between sizes or have a wide foot, size up.

How high is the heel?

The heel is 0.5 inches, a low block heel. It gives a slight lift while staying essentially flat for walking.

Is $51.98 a good price for the Hilari?

Yes. Donald Pliner sandals typically sell for well over $100, so $51.98 at ShopSimon as of November 8, 2026 is a steep discount. Four stores list it new, so compare before buying.

What is the upper made of?

The upper comes in leather or suede depending on the colorway, with a leather and rubber lining and a rubber outsole.

Can I wear these for long walks?

They are flat with a rubber sole, so they suit errands and casual days. For long walks, expect limited arch support from the thin footbed.

What colors are available?

The Hilari comes in natural and brown.
