Customer Reviews Blue by Betsey Johnson Joy

I LOVEEEEDDD THIS SHOE! It is utterly adorable. I bought to wear at my wedding. I was sad to find they were 1/2 a size too small. Unfortunately I have to return them and Zappos doesn't have the size I need in stock. I'm disappointed. Also for those of you that care about "toe gap," there is a bit in this shoe. I loved the style enough that I could get over that fact.

The verdict is still out on these shoes. I bought them for my wedding coming up in 6 months. I figured "why not" since I had a year to return them. They arrived very quickly which is great. The shoes are cute to look at but they are very "skimpy." What I mean by that is this...these shoes do not cover the sides of your foot at all. They are very low cut on the sides. This isn't a huge deal. They are also really "low cut" in the toe area. I wear a size 7.5, an extremely average shoe size. These shoes absolutely show "toe cleavage." I'm undecided on whether this is a deal breaker or not. I think it looks awful but then I try to find a shoe that is this simple and cute and I fail. I may just keep them and hope the toe cleavage thing bothers me less as time goes on. We'll see.

Cute shoe. I did have a comfort problem. The shoe is cut unusually low on the sides, so the bone that sticks out of the center of the outside of my foot was constantly rubbing against the side of the shoe. And btw, I have standard medium width feet, so I can only imagine this working on someone with very narrow feet.But the toe bed would likely be too wide for narrow feet. A shame, had it not been for that issue, I'd have kept them.

These are beautiful "princess bride" shoes, and are just lovely to look at. They have absolutely no padding, but ordering a half-size bigger will allow for a thin insole.

I saw these in a store and really wanted them by they did not have my size. They are very cute and the ankle strap is a huge plus for me because ballet flats never stay on my feet when I walk. By the time I saw them on Zappos, they were mostly sold out but I took a chance on a size 9. Nope! They run pretty true to size and I definitely need a 9.5. I hope they get more in stock!

These shoes are beautiful, and I highly recommend them to someone who needs a fancy shoe for an event, but doesn't feel comfortable in heels. They arrived very quickly, in a beautiful blue box, and they look amazing (these were purchased for my daughter's bat mitzvah). She loves the look. However, it seems to me that there is very little arch support and the sole doesn't feel very comfortable. But that can be easily fixed with a gel insert, and after all, its just a few hours of wear.

These shoes felt cheaply made and looked like something that would be more appropriate for a preteen. The glitter was slightly blue and looked just glued on. The sides felt like plastic and would probably have made them uncomfortable for longer term wearing.

I wanted this shoe to fit so badly! The ankle strap is perfect for keeping the shoe on (flats never stay on my feet otherwise) and the blue hue of studs was perfect for the "something blue." But it is not the shoe for my feet. There was a large gap between the knuckles of my toes and the top of the shoe, even though the length and width were appropriate. Overall, uncomfortable for me because they didn't fit. But it still makes me sad - I would have loved to wear them. If you are interested in this shoe, I recommend you take advantage of Zappos fantastic shipping/return policies and try it.

Ended up not liking sparkles and zero arch support.

Though another reviewer said it worked well for a narrow foot I don't agree. It was too wide on my narrow foot. Also the toe is so low it shows toe cleavage which is not what I wanted. The sparkles are much more sparkly than it appears in the photo. Nice if you want lots of glitz, but not subtle. Overall material is stiff and not comfortable.

These shoes are absolutely adorable! Having said that, they offer absolutely no arch support, or support of any kind really, and they are slippery. They are definitely not walking shoes and are not comfortable but super cute looking and perfect for a party event where you want to have some sparkly shoes and aren't walking a marathon.

Cute shoe but not enough support for my flat feet. Wish you offered more shoes in size 10.5!

Very cute, but the ankle strap is too high and lands right on the ankle bone. If you buckle it too tight, you can't flex your foot and if too loose, it's floppy and doesn't serve the purpose of keeping the shoe on. The shoe is otherwise very nice and seems well made. I would probably consider keeping them despite the ankle strap, but they also don't go with my dress, so I'm returning them.

I ordered these shoes a possible wedding shoes. When I got them, I was pleased with how pretty they were and all of the sparkle. I put them on and was disappointed with the amount of "toe cleavage" that was showing. I know some people don't mind it, but it bothered me. I also should note that I have VERY narrow feet and these fit me perfectly. So someone with wide feet probably would want to steer clear. The last important thing that I should mention is the design of the shoe. These are made more like sandals, with the side of the shoe barely skimming your foot, again it may not be a problem, but you certainly need the ankle strap to keep them on your feet.

Beautiful, comfortable shoe. I purchased it for a formal event where I knew I would need to be on my feet for several hours, and it fit the bill perfectly. My only complaint is that they're not very durable, especially for such expensive shoes -- they arrived slightly damaged (not sure if they were a return or defective), but there were no more available in my size and I needed them for the next day. Upon wearing them, I realized just how easy they were to damage: the rhinestones are glued on and fall off quite easily, and only a little walking left the back heel quite worn down and sad looking. Great shoe for a special occasion, but definitely not for more than a few wearings (which is unfortunate, because they're lovely).

I really wanted to love these. I'm getting married outside so I'm searching for something with a low or no heel. These looked so pretty with my dress but they are so uncomfortable! They're really low cut so there's this weird toe/foot cleavage thing that happens. The outer edge of my foot was practically hanging out of the shoe. And there's no way to put arch supports in because the shoe dips down too low and any insert would show. Bummer but there's no way I'm paying $99 for a shoe with all those flaws so the search continues...

I ordered these for my wedding in May. They would have been perfect - so beautiful - but they were way too small. I ordered a size 12 and they were about a half size too small.

These run a bit small. I usually wear a 9, but definitely need a 9/5 in this. I was disappointed the crystals were tinted blue on the champagne slipper. I had expected them to be more like what is pictured, but there is a definite blue tint so unfortunately these won't work for me.

Too small by at least a half size. Also, the beading looks cheaper looking. I'm returning.

What makes these shoes special is the rhinestones, which reflect very pretty blue light. The sole is light blue as well. When I first unwrapped them, my first thought is that they look really cheap. And they do. They do not have much arch support, which is not a big deal for formal wear, but the sides of the shoes are really low. I wore them around my apartment for a few minutes and I could already see them beginning to be warped to the point where they might eventually be rubbing against the ground. They also show toe cleavage if that matters to you. In the end these things just overcame the "oooh, sparkly" factor. Let's face it brides are used to paying out the nose for bridal dresses and accessories. In this case, I just felt like this was more of a rip off than I could stomach.

Really hated the sparkles. You can't see if in the image or in the video (since it's for the blue shoe) but the sparkles on this are just too disco-colored: pink, blue, white and changing in the light, rather than uniformly white like in the image. It's really unfortunate. Had to return.

My toe cleavage is showing! These shoes also ran a little large, they sparkle in the sun but I want something with more coverage on top.

I read the reviews but ordered anyway just because they could have been perfect. The reviews were accurate. They are uncomfortable, flimsy, and look cheap. Getting returned.

These shoes are visually beautiful, kind of a champagne color with blue-hue crystals. The ankle strap is flattering and the fit is true to size. Unfortunately these have absolutely no arch support whatsoever and are extremely uncomfortable. You can feel every little rock in the pavement. I added a support insert which did help but (obviously) caused the shoe to fit tighter. When walking, the shoes do not bend easily, and somehow the seams of the fabric cause itching/ discomfort. If you can get them at a good price they're definitely worth a try, but I would not personally recommend them.
