Detailed Review
In terms of style, the Badgley Mischka womens Kiara Dress Pump stands out with its striking rhinestone detailing and sleek silhouette. Whether you're headed to a wedding or a fancy dinner, these pumps are sure to elevate your outfit.
Comfort-wise, while the covered stiletto heel adds height, the shoe manages to provide decent support thanks to its well-padded insole. However, some wearers have reported a slight period of adjustment when first breaking them in.
As for versatility, the sapphire color offers a unique twist on traditional hues, allowing you to pair these pumps with a variety of dresses—from cocktail to evening gowns—making them a worthy investment for your wardrobe.

These heels are incredible. They’re comfortable (although I had ordered half a size bigger, they were too perfect and I wish I had a little wiggle space) and the blue is so bright and shiny. They’re incredible. I can’t wait to wear them again. I bought them for my civil wedding at Cityhall and didn’t want to buy expensive shoes that I can’t wear again so blue shoes seemed perfect and appropriate for my wedding shoes and my something blue. I loved them and received a ton of compliments.
I ended up returning these, but they were beautiful!! I only returned them because I was going to a beach wedding and would have ruined them
The shoes are gorgeous, sturdy! I'm almost ALWAYS a size 5.5 & do not have wide feet. This particular style of shoe run surprisingly narrow & snug for her brand. I reordered a half size up, sz. 6 they're perfect. I like to mention I've tried on different style pumps from her brand & the 6 are too large. I feel like it's just this style running smaller.
I purchased these shoes for my wedding and absolutely fell in love with them. They fit beautifully and were simply stunning! The only reason I returned them was because I opted to wear a different pair that I had purchased, however, have no fear - these shoes are beyond gorgeous. I loved the detailing on the back of the heel -- it was really well secured onto the shoe and I just loved the added sparkle. The platform is supportive and not too, too high -- they were comfortable to wear when I put them on and I imagine you would get a good solid 4-5 hours of comfort out of wearing them. The satin material on the shoes was very pretty as well, they're a vibrant blue kind of like a bright peacock blue. The peep toe wasn't too wide so you're toes won't be slipping out. I would probably recommend purchasing some stiletto inserts to provide your feet extra comfort and perhaps an extra set of the heel tips because I have experience with those and they tend to wear down after several wears especially if you're going to be doing a lot of walking or standing on concrete. One additional thing I purchased to go along with these stunning shoes (and to help protect the heel) was a set of clear plastic heel protectors which also prevent you from sinking into grass or getting your heels caught in the spaces between wooden planks in patios or decks.If I hadn't returned these, I had planned to see if it was possible to have them scotch guarded to help prevent stains or scuffs from setting in. I actually kind of have regret returning them, however, I do not think I would have had a near future occasion to wear them. They reminded me of the wedding shoes Carrie from Sex and the City wore except I liked these much better ... and they are a much more affordable price point than those featured in the show. These shoes will honestly go with pretty much any dress (regarding weddings), my dress was a deep creamy off white, almost an antique-y color (it was called lace over cognac) and they looked great with it. I wound up wearing a completely sparkly darker shoe that I felt were so unique and pretty that I just could not not wear them. However, the shoes I wore would definitely not look good with all dresses, so these are definitely more universal and can complement a broad spectrum of dress types.If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, I'm more than happy to help! If you have found this review helpful please indicate so! :)
Beautiful, as described.
These are absolutely stunning, but run nearly a full size small. Definitely size up!
LOL... the absolute most stunning shows I’ve ever worn and by far the most uncomfortable because I don’t usually wear such super high heels. I wore these for my alopment wedding and pictures in Vegas. I’ll definitely wear them again to something I just need to stand at and be a statue. Five stars because they’re clearly stunning, they’re made well and they fit... I wasn’t expecting them to be comfortable!
This shoe is absolutely beautiful but I was beyond disappointed that my foot could not even fit in this shoe. I consistently wear a 7.5 in heels, only to find that these fit me like a size 6. Hopefully I can get a bigger size before my wedding in a few weeks.
