FAQs
What materials are these shoes made from?
These Betsey Johnson SB-Nikki Slingback Pumps are constructed from man-made materials, featuring a mesh exterior richly adorned with intricate embroidery, sequins, felt polka dots, and tiny beads. The sole is a felted rubber with nonskid markings.
What is the heel height?
The pumps feature a 3-inch (approximately 7.6 cm) sculpted heel.
Are these shoes true to size?
Betsey Johnson footwear generally runs true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend consulting the brand's size guide if available and trying them on at home to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these for long periods?
While they feature a lightly cushioned insole and an elastic slingback for comfort, the 3-inch heel and elaborate embellishments mean these shoes are primarily designed for special occasions and events, rather than extended all-day wear.
How do I clean the embellished exterior?
For cleaning, gently spot clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth using plain water or a very mild soap solution. Avoid rubbing vigorously, submerging in water, or using harsh chemicals to protect the delicate embellishments.
What is the significance of the blue sole?
The signature blue sole is a distinctive design element commonly featured in Betsey Johnson footwear, adding a unique and fashionable touch. For brides, it can also serve as a fun 'something blue' tradition.
Troubleshooting
Embellishments (beads, sequins) are coming loose.
Handle shoes gently. For minor detachments, a small drop of clear fabric glue can often resecure a bead or sequin. For more significant damage, consider consulting a professional shoe repair specialist who is experienced with embellished footwear.
The slingback strap feels too tight or too loose.
The slingback features a discreet elastic side designed for a comfortable fit. If it feels too tight, try wearing them for short periods around the house to gently stretch the elastic. If too loose, unfortunately, there isn't an easy adjustment. Consider trying a smaller size if purchased recently, or using heel liners to help keep your foot forward and snug.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Man-made materials can sometimes feel stiff. Wear the shoes for short intervals around the house to break them in. Using thin foot petals or gel inserts can also improve comfort, especially in the ball of the foot area.
The white/ivory material is getting dirty easily.
Light-colored shoes, especially with textured surfaces, can attract dirt. Always wipe them down with a soft, slightly damp cloth after each wear. For stubborn spots, refer to the 'Care Instructions' section above for gentle spot cleaning.

Care Instructions
To preserve the intricate beauty of your embellished pumps:
- Spot Cleaning Only: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth (dampened with plain water or a very mild, pH-neutral soap solution) to gently dab any soiled areas. Avoid rubbing vigorously, especially over the embellishments.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use alcohol, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the delicate materials and embellishments.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: When not in use, store your pumps in their original dust bag or a soft cloth bag to protect the embellishments from snags and dust. Keep them in a cool, dry place.
- Handle with Care: Be mindful of rough surfaces or situations where embellishments could snag or detach. Avoid overcrowding in closets.
