I am wearing these shoes for NYE. They are exactly what I was looking for. I have a slender foot but always wear a M width, size a 8.5. They fit perfect. I love the champagne color and they do sparkle a lot. Dressy and fun!

Bought these shoes for my wedding. I had been eyeing them for months and when they came in I couldn't wait to try them on. Perfect fit.

Too little! I almost always wear an 8.5. These were too small. I wanted to exchange them for a 9, but none were in stock. Really cute shoes!

I love them. They were exactly what I was looking for. I ordered both sizes 7 and 8 based on the reviews. But 7 (which is my usual size) was fine. I will use them as my second pair of wedding shoes.

These shoes were perfect for what I needed, i.e. formal wedding guest with lots of dancing. They were very sparkly.

I absolutely love these flats! I purchased them for my wedding. I find that Betsey Johnson runs about half a size smaller than normal. I wear an 8½ in almost everything and I ordered both an 8½ and a 9 (just to be sure) and the 9 fits perfectly.

I wore these for my wedding reception, very comfortable and I got many compliments on them! I was able to dance in them for 4 hours, also can wear them again for other occasions. Highly recommend these shoes!

These are beautiful! I am super excited to have them as my "something blue." I am usually either an 8½ or a 9 and I went with the 8½ which fits perfectly.

These shoes are so gorgeous. I just wished that they went up to a size 11. The size 10 was a bit tight on my feet. Otherwise, I would have kept these shoes. I'm sad to send them back. :(

i'm a bride getting married in april and, even though i had some concerns abotu these shoes, i went with it because: i'm a tall bride who didn't want a heel, i was looking for a touch of the "something blue," and i wasn't finding any other shoe options that would work for me, so i took a leap of faith.
so, i agree with other reviewers that these do run a tad small. based on the reviews, if i could have ordered a half size up, i would have. however, i am a true 10, and these shoes do fit. yes, i've been breaking them in here and there, but i definitely would not describe them as too small, or uncomfortable.
the blue is all in how the light hits it. these are 100% champagne fabric shoes with clear crystals. the way they are cut, they do sparkle blue when the light hits them.
like other reviewers have said, there is zero support, but if you're ok with that, you should be fine. i find the ankle strap to be a bit small, but i'm wearing it on the last notch, and that's fine. there is a little extra room so, if you needed to add another notch, you would be able to.
overall- i LOVE these shoes, and can't wait to wear them for my wedding. if you are super concerned about the fit being too small, of if you're on the upper end of the size, do order up. if you sit on the lower end, or right in the middle, you really should be ok. i just suggest wearing them in.

These are really pretty shoes! I was looking for a flat that would be fun and sparkly with my bridesmaid dress and these were perfect! I wore them all night and at the end of the night my feet were a little sore, but over all they were great!

The shoe is beautiful and matches my daughter's wedding gown. She usually wears a 12 but it was way to large. I ordered a 12 and we will see if this is the proper size.

Pretty shoes, but they run a little wide and big. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8. I ordered an 8 and they're too loose.

Very pretty shoes. The first box I received was missing a shoe, but Zappos was quick to send me a new pair and let me keep the lone shoe as a spare! I plan on wearing these on my wedding day. They might not be the most comfortable, but for me they are much better than wearing heels all day. I like that they have a blue sole, and the rhinestones do have a slight blue hue. Very cute and I think I'll definitely wear these again!

Cute shoe but cuts into the back of your heel. The top back has a sharp edge and I can see that this would be a big problem. Had to return.

Very cute, and the strap helps to keep them on the feet so you can buy them a little loose. They're very stiff hard material so a snug fit will not be comfortable. I wear 8.5 in most shoes, but 9 sometimes in dress shoes. In this shoe the 8.5 fit perfect. 9 would be way too big.
However, definitely take precautions against blisters. I put some gel heel guards in which helped, but I got really bad blisters around the toe box region. Took them off halfway through the night, but even by then I had acquired huge blisters which actually started bleeding. The insides of the shoes are actually stained with blood :/ My feet are still bandaged up and I'm hobbling around a couple days later. I would still recommend them if you like the style though, just make sure to take protective measures, like putting some bandaids on where you feel like it might need it. If I had done that they probably would have been fine. I'll wear them again in the future. I'll probably get another pair of gel heel inserts and stick them around the toe box for next time.
Also no arch support to speak of, but I can do without for a few hours. I bought some gel inserts but the shoe is too low cut to allow for that. Looked terrible and also made the shoes feel too small. Also the nylon "socks" designed for ballet flats do not work either. They are very visible all along the sides and around the toes.

Ordered these in the hopes of wearing them for the reception portion of my wedding. I saw from some other reviews that the stones had a definite blue hue to them, but thought I'd try them (our primary color is navy blue). Unfortunately the stones are almost teal/aqua, and it is very prominent! Would not have gone well with our more muted color scheme and my ivory lace dress. Very pretty shoe, just doesn't fit the vibe I'm going for!

These are very cute. They fit pretty close to size but they are a little loose in the toe area. Other than thwt, they are perfect!

These are great sparkly party shoes! They are slightly loose but the ankle strap keeps them in place. They could use more padding - I cannot wear them on a hard floor or outside for more than a half-hour.

Bought these for my wedding which isnt until July, they are absolutely beautiful but I am not quite sold. Will be holding on to them until it gets closer to the date. They shine more blue than sparkle and I think with more sparkle they would fit. There is a bit of toe-cleavage going on right now which does make me uncomfortable but I do adore the concept of these being my something blue!

Really pretty slipper. Will be using this to walk down the aisle in April and switching to my boots for the reception. Not a lot of support but I expected that.

Really pretty shoe, good quality, but the color was not quite what I expected. I bought it to go with my blush wedding dress, but it has a definite blue-ish shimmer to it. So I'm returning these and going with the Lucy style instead.
Comfort is about what you would expect. I didn't wear them long, but they didn't seem to rub funny anywhere. I think they would look nice on narrower feet.
