So sorry! Which parts hurt you?
Click to expand...

My small toes have blisters. Plus, when walking my big toes hit the shoe, so they hurt too.... I don't know what to do..... :cry:
I am sick of living in a country, where I can't try anything on, before buying and having to get in a lot of trouble to have some nice things.
Sorry for my rant, but I am so sad....

That's such a shame. Are they too small for you? Or they could even be too big if your foot is moving around. I had a problem with some jimmy choo trainers I bought. Even though I sized down they were still too big. I wore them for one hour and they ripped my heels to shreds and I can't return them now because they've been worn. How do they compare to the Bekkets for fit and comfort?

Sorry to hear about the sizing issues ladies.

I sized down on my Bekkets which seems different to most ladies. I'm an EU 36.5 and got a FR 37 and 38 (so an EU 36 and 37). I found that the EU 36 was snug but my foot didn't move whereas the 37 was roomier but I could feel my foot slipping forward and rubbing.

I kept the EU 36 and my big toe used to touch the end a bit and it would be a tad sore if I wore them alllllll day. However they soon stretched due to the suede and leather and now they are perfect.

I don't own and have no tried on Blossoms but it might be a case of just putting an insole / stretching them out to get the perfect fit.

I'm so sorry to hear about the sizing issue!! :( I find my Bettys (similar to your Blossoms) are less comfortable than my Bekkets... but I really do agree... depending on if you think they are too small/too big - might be worth trying to put in a cloth insole if it's that they are too big.

I use these terry cloth ones for sneakers and flats (since they're washable) for shoes that fit a little too big:

I just purchased my first pair of IM sneakers! I found out about the Blossoms with 50% off on matches.com and today I got an extra 10% off so I finally bit the bullet. I've tried on several pairs of IM sneakers, mostly the Bekket style, but the colour combo's weren't right and the Bekket looks really huge on me (size 41). I hope the Blossoms are a great buy, can't wait to wear them!

I only have Bobby and Bekket. They are comfort to me. I am not sure if Blossoms and Baby fit differently. The problems you described seem are hard to fix. Maybe you could resell them? So sorry this happened to you.

I don't own the Bekkets, so I can't say how they compare in terms of comfort.
I am so sorry this happened to you with your choos.
When I tried them on inside they didn't feel small. My big toe was where it is supposed to be. They felt a little snug in the toe box, but I thought it was only a matter of breaking in....
Thank you for your sympathy....

Thank you for your suggestion! I live in Europe, so I don't know if I can find the exact same thing, but I will try to locate something similar at least....
The odd thing is that my feet keep sliding towards the toe box and I think this is what causes the pain....

Thanks for your understanding..... I don't know if I could resell them, I haven't done it before.... Plus, I've worn them twice.....

Sorry to hear this! I had similar issues with my Blossoms too. They seem to fit ok in length although the right foot is a tiny bit tight. I got my bf to wear them around the house a few times haha, his feet are obviously way bigger than mine so they stretched a bit. They are much better although still hurt after several hours of walking around. Try stretching them even if you think your feet have space. My feet are pretty narrow but I think that right foot was a bit more problematic.

Don't give up yet! Let you feet rest for a few days and try them again. I'm sure once they are broken in they will be fine.

Thank you, jellybebe! I will try walking around the house with really thick socks on....

I received my Blossoms which are adorable!! Unfortunately they do not fit. I ordered a US 10 EU 40 according to Barney's website. Depending on the shoe I can usually fit a 9.5-10. Never bigger than a 10 but the Blossoms are tight. Oh well, I will send them back. I was so excited for my first pair of Isabel Marant shoes too.

Hi Ladies

Can anyone advise if the Betty's come in taupe or khaki? And if so where they are available (I'm in the UK)? I have ordered the Bobby's and really like them but am a little concerned about them being completely suede and getting wet with the poor UK weather!

Thank you

Rachael
