Customer Reviews Blue by Betsey Johnson Mari Heeled Sandal

These are super cute and they’re fun for parties but a little bit narrower than I had expected and had to size up. I think the block heel makes them more wearable.

I received one size 6 and one size 8 shoe.

Very pretty heel, however, it does not go with my special occasion dress I ordered them for. Returning them.....

beautiful shoes but even in the wide width my pinky toe was pinched. Sadly I have to return.

Unfortunately these adorable shoes that are marked as wide are definitely not wide. I will be returning them.

I read many reviews in advance of purchasing these shoes. They are prettier in person, however, people are definitely correct in that there is a glue smell (faint, in my case) and they are tacky to the touch, aka slightly sticky as if the glue is still drying. They came in a Betsey Johnson black box and have a light blue sole, but no gold bug/bee emblem on the sole. They are absolutely true to size and width. I could have purchased my normal size (8.5 M), but I bought the 9 M to avoid the shoe rubbing up against my ankle (I've had other shoes that have done this in the past). They are also quite heavy given all the beading, but as I said they are prettier in person. Definitely keeping them as I need to wear them for an event this weekend. I bought the gold and they will go perfectly with my outfit.

I felt the back of heel digging into my lower calf.

These are very pretty shoes. I ordered a half size up from my usual per recommendations of other reviewers, and I recommend doing that. As in most high-heeled shoes, my foot slides forward in these. I am going to add a pad under the ball of my foot to keep that from happening (I have these pads from previous shoe purchases in department stores, but I imagine any shoe repair shop would have them.) I agree with other reviews that say the band over the toes is a little tight, and I'm a bit worried that, on my larger foot, adding the slip-pad will force my foot up against the band. I think I can work something out, but be forewarned.

Ordered 2 styles for a wedding. This one was too shiny but the satin one was perfect.

This looked nice on my daughter, really sparkly but the strap on one side was sewed 1/4 of inch lower than the other - just hitting the ankle bone. It would be uncomfortable to be in them all night so unfortunately they have to go back. She is disappointed.

I think that the fit is correct but it was tight in the toe area for me. It is a beautiful shoe. It felt sticky I guess from the glue for the rhinestones. REgardless, if you can stand the pinchiness in the toe area, keep the shoes!

I found the medium width too narrow at the toe strap so ordered another pair in wide. The toe strap fit just as narrowly. The only thing wider was the heel. My feet are triangular shaped so I do not need any more width at the heel. Found it very disappointing that there was no difference in width at the toe between M and W.

Beautiful shoe, but I think this wide width is more of a C than a D or E wide width. After 5 minutes, the band across the top started to hurt. Since I purchased them for a wedding, I will need to return them because I will need to be comfortable the whole night, not 5 minutes.

These shoes are so pretty and I would have loved to wear them for my wedding. However, the strap over the toes was a bit too tight for my feet and would have been uncomfortable to wear all day. Also, the back part seemed like it would have rubbed against the back of my ankle too much. I wish they were a little more comfy because they are even prettier in person than the pictures!

Súper cute. Love the style and how they look on your feet. Not very comfortable when you walk. Returning.

slightly loose on my feet .

Beautiful shoes, but the strap by the toe just hit in a funny place, a little higher up than normal and hurt a lot, i did order a wide just in case, but it was still too tight at the toe.

This is a beautiful, fun shoe but it runs VERY narrow. I never wear a wide, but even the wide in this shoe is snug.

They were fine just delivered late. I needed to use them for an event on a Saturday and received them on Monday. Supposed to be here Friday.

Loved these shoes! Difficult to get a low healed dress shoe with a lot of style but this one has it. Unfortunately, the strap in front is too narrow for my foot. These looked a lot more expensive then they were.

These shoes seem very comfortable. I opted for the more subdued pair, but these would have also been a great choice for a formal event.

So pretty! The bling is really awesome, not like a toddler princess shoe--you can pull it off! But too dainty for my big wide foot. I ordered the wide but still my foot hung over on the sides. Not functional for me. Such a bummer!

Black is sparkly, but not too over the top to use for nice to very dressy. Block Heel is not the sexiest, but will be stable and walkable on the two cruises I plan to wear them. I bought a heel-in style purposely so i can wear it with dresses, but also with pants and the pant leg won't go into the shoe in the back.

These shoes are super cute and fun! I wore them right out of the box for 6+ hours to a wedding and was totally fine until the very end when I realized the extended heel was giving me huge blisters on my upper heels. Managed to make it back to the hotel but I still still have the scabs weeks later. Next time I wear them it's band-aids in advance!

These shoes are so cute! I was looking for a heel to wear for my wedding that wasn’t crazy high but still comfy and had some sparkle. I originally ordered a 7 but exchanged it for a 6.5 as the shoe runs a bit large and the new size fits perfectly! Can’t wait to wear them more
