Review on Captivating Blue by Betsey Johnson Women's Iris Pump: A Chic Combination of Class and Charm by April Irvin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful shiny shoes

They are absolutely stunning and shimmer beautifully in the light. The only reason I am returning them is that the gem was missing from the front of one of the fingers. I suggest inspecting them very carefully when you receive them. I tried them on when I first got them, walked around the house to see how they felt. Many days later I tried them on for my fiancé and the sun was shining very brightly through my window and I noticed the empty space when I took them out of the box. Now I could try to find a similar gem and put it on, or just ignore it and hope no one notices. But this is for my wedding, and this is the one day of my life that I don't want to compromise or give up. Especially for $130 shoes. You have to be perfect. Speaking of which, some reviewers are concerned these are fake, and so am I. I don't care if they're fake as long as they look good, but then I want to pay the price of a fake, not the same $130 for a real BJ. I no longer believe these are fakes. Noticing the stone was missing I went to exchange them but Revain didn't have them in my size anymore so I found the same pair of Dillards. Had to pay 10€ for shipping, but oh well. The first photo I posted is of a pair of Revains that are missing the stone. The rest are a couple from the Dillards. They are identical. Blue sole, no heart on the back. I think they just stopped making models with a silver heart and a tag sewn in. I posted a photo of the largest empty spot I could find on a couple of Dillards to show that stone placement could just be human error. I just didn't want to have an empty seat in front/front when I take a picture. A pair of Dillards also came with a small bag of extra stones to fill in any gaps. A pair of Dillards also came in a Betsy Johnson box with BJ tissue paper. The Revain pair came in a brown Revain shoe box with a note stating that the original packaging was damaged. As they are for my wedding it will be nice to keep them in a real box forever. It's not the most comfortable shoe, but not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. They have a soft foam sole and the more you walk, the better you feel in them. If you want to dance all night you can bring a pair of ballet flats, but I've definitely worn more painful heels. .I hope this review will help allay any fears that these are fake. Feel free to get them. They are amazing.
