Detailed Review
The Blue by Betsey Johnson Women's SB-IRIS Pump excels in both aesthetics and functionality, making it a top choice for those seeking a striking yet comfortable shoe. The standout feature is its beaded textile upper, which adds a layer of glamour, particularly suited for evening events or bridal parties.
Consider the comfort factor; the lightly padded footbed is a thoughtful touch, especially for women who plan to be on their feet for extended periods. However, it's important to note that some users may experience a need for breaking in due to the snug fit of the lace-up design. This could be a consideration if you prefer fuss-free footwear.
When it comes to versatility, while they shine at formal gatherings, they might not be as flexible for everyday wear. Pairing this pump with a chic dress could create a stunning ensemble, making it ideal for wedding receptions or cocktail parties.
Overall, the Iris pumps stand out in the marketplace for their unique blend of style and comfort, making them an excellent addition to your footwear collection.

These are the most gorgeous shoes in all of creation. Too bad they’re too steep for me. My back is bad & I knew it was a long shot, but they are so darned beautiful, I’ll keep them for photos and/ possibly or, for my daughter. If only I were 21 again, but yeah.. stunners & the sale price I received was too enticing to pass up, even knowing I’d likely not be able to wear them. BJ quality all the way. Perfect for weddings, proms & more!Fit is true to size!!!!5 stars 🥰!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️** I hope my review is helpful 😊. **
These heels are even more beautiful in person. They shimmer and sparkle and make me feel confident and sexy. The heel is higher than I expected so that took a little getting used to but the tie stays in place even after walking. They are not comfortable at all but what high heels are right? It hurts to be beautiful. I feel like Cinderella. These are a winner!
These are so incredibly gorgeous, sparkly and elegant. They gave my feet such a lovely silhouette and in direct light they really do dazzle. I totally would have worn these at my own wedding. I think at this price point, you can't say no! Plus, they're comfortable and that's saying a lot since I haven't worn many heels since the pandemic!
These are absolutely stunning in person and shimmer beautifully in the light. The only reason I am returning them is that a gem stone was missing on the front of one of the toes. I suggest inspecting these very carefully when you receive them. I tried them on when I first got them, walked around my house to see how they felt. Many days later I tried them on for my fiancé and the sun was shining super bright through my window and I noticed the empty spot when I took them out of the box.Now, I could have tried to find a similar looking gem and glued it on, or just ignored it and hope that no one would notice. But these are for my wedding and it’s the one day in my whole life I don’t want to have to compromise or make do. Especially not for $130 shoes. They should be perfect.Speaking of which, some reviewers are concerned these are knockoffs and I was as well. I don’t necessarily care if they are knockoffs as long as they look great, but I do then want to pay knockoff prices, not the same $130 as the authentic BJ. I no longer believe these are knockoffs. When I noticed the stone was missing, I went to exchange them but Amazon no longer had them in my size so I located the same pair from Dillards. I had to pay $10 shipping but oh well. The first pic I posted is of the Amazon pair with the stone missing. The rest are the pair from Dillards. They are the same. Blue sole, no heart on the back. I think they just stopped making the kind with the silver heart and sewn in label.I posted a pic of the largest empty space I could find on the dillards pair to show that their might just be some human error in how the stones are placed. I just didn’t want the empty space to be on the front/toe when I take pics. The Dillards pair also came with a little baggy of extra stones you can use to fill in any spaces.The Dillards pair also came in a Betsy Johnson box with BJ tissue paper. The Amazon pair came in a brown Amazon shoebox with a note that said the original box had been damaged. Since they’re for my wedding it will be nice to keep them forever in their actual box.These are not the most comfortable shoes, but also not as uncomfortable as I thought they’d be. They have a soft, foam sole, and feel better the more you walk around, breaking them in. You might want to pack a pair of flats if you’re going to be dancing all night, but I’ve definitely worn more painful heels.I hope this review helps alleviate the fears about them being knockoffs. Don’t hesitate to get them. They are stunners.
These shoes are adorable! I love them so much and can't wait to wear them for my wedding.
These shoes are stunning and the sparkle they give makes you not want to take your eyes off of them. Definitely wear with a dress shirt enough to show them off
Pictures do not do justice. They are so sparkly! I normally wear about an 8.5 or 9 so I ordered a 9 and they fit perfectly. They’re also comfortable for being as high as they are.Side note for those not happy with missing stones. I really don’t think they’re knock-offs. It doesn’t matter if you got these from Amazon or went and bought some Louboutins, rhinestones might fall off. No glue is finite. I think mine were missing one stone but they come with a packet of replacement stones which would take 2 seconds to glue on.10/10!
Fit perfectly! My daughter love it!
