Girls glitter heels with a sculpted tulle butterfly bow, pearl pendant, and rhinestone heel, available in blue, pink, and silver for £27.99
Every shoe in this collection has a bow. This one has something considerably more than that.
The Fairy Wing Bow Glitter Heels carry a bow unlike anything else in the range: a multi-layered tulle butterfly bow with individual rhinestones edging the shaped wings, a faceted crystal gem at the centre, and butterfly motifs printed into the fabric of the tulle itself. It is not flat. It has real depth and dimension, and it moves with the light in a way that a plain satin bow simply cannot.
Paired with a rhinestone dome-studded heel block, a pearl drop pendant on the strap, and a full glitter upper, these are the most decoratively layered shoes in the collection, and the ones that children take the longest to stop looking at once they have spotted them. Available in blue, pink, and silver at £27.99.
What Makes These Shoes Special
- Sculpted tulle butterfly bow on the toe: multi-layered, rhinestone-edged, with a central crystal gem and butterfly motifs within the tulle fabric
- Rhinestone dome-studded heel block: rows of round dome-shaped rhinestones set into the face of the heel, catching the light from every angle
- Pearl drop pendant hanging from the gold buckle ring on the ankle strap
- Full glitter upper with a mixed confetti sequin finish that shimmers dynamically as the child moves
- Adjustable pin buckle strap with a decorative gold ring and pearl pendant, allowing a secure fit across different foot widths
- Colour-matched soft lining inside the shoe, coordinating with the upper colour
- Low block heel at approximately 3cm: stable and comfortable for children wearing these for extended periods
- Non-slip rubber sole giving reliable grip on polished and indoor event flooring
- PU leather construction throughout, durable and easy to wipe clean
The Butterfly Bow in Detail
The bow on these shoes is worth looking at closely, because it is substantially different from the satin and fabric bows found on other girls’ party shoes. Here is what it is made of and how it is constructed:
- Multiple layers of tulle: the bow is built up from several layers of fine net tulle, which gives it volume and a soft, floating quality rather than the flat profile of a fabric bow
- Butterfly wing shapes: the tulle layers are shaped and structured to form distinct butterfly wing profiles: two pairs of wings layered on top of each other
- Butterfly motifs within the tulle: butterfly and star shapes are printed or embroidered into the tulle fabric itself, visible when the bow catches the light
- Rhinestone edging: the shaped edges of the bow wings are outlined with small rhinestones, giving each wing a defined, jewelled border
- Central crystal gem: a large faceted crystal or gemstone is set at the centre of the bow where the wings meet, the focal point of the whole decoration
- Scattered star sequins: small star-shaped sequins are scattered through the tulle, adding additional sparkle throughout the bow
The effect when light hits this bow is quite different from a plain satin version. The tulle catches and diffuses light softly through its layers. The rhinestone edging creates defined lines of sparkle around the wings. The central gem throws a directed flash. And the butterfly motifs within the tulle appear and disappear as the angle changes. It is a genuinely three-dimensional decorative element, not a flat accessory.
The bow sits securely on the toe of the shoe rather than being loosely attached, and the structured layering means it holds its shape throughout wear without collapsing or losing its wing silhouette.
The Rhinestone Heel
The heel block on these shoes carries a second major decorative element: rows of dome-shaped rhinestones set across the face of the heel. Unlike flat crystal studs, dome rhinestones have a rounded top that catches the light from multiple angles simultaneously, so the heel sparkles consistently regardless of the direction the child is facing.
This combination of a decorated toe and a decorated heel means the shoe has visual interest from both the front and the back, which is particularly valuable for occasions like school performances and weddings where the child will be seen from multiple directions.
Available Colours
These shoes are available in three colours. Each version uses a fully colour-matched upper, strap, and bow, with the rhinestone heel and gold buckle hardware remaining consistent across all three:
| Colour | Best For | Works Well With |
|---|---|---|
| Pink | Birthday parties, christenings, fairy and butterfly-themed events, family celebrations | White, blush, ivory, lilac, and soft pastel dresses |
| Blue | Princess and fairy-themed parties, garden events, school performances | White, silver, navy, yellow, and floral occasion dresses |
| Silver | Weddings, flower girl, formal photoshoots, Christmas events | White, ivory, grey, champagne, and most formal dress colours |
What Occasions Are These Shoes For?
The butterfly bow makes these shoes a natural fit for any fairy or butterfly-themed occasion, but the glitter upper and rhinestone heel give them enough formality to work equally well at weddings and christenings. Silver in particular photographs beautifully in formal settings and coordinates with most white and ivory bridal-party dresses.
For school performances and dance recitals, the rhinestone heel is a detail that reads well from a distance, so the shoe looks finished and special even when the child is on a stage or at the front of a hall. The blue version is a popular choice for these occasions, particularly when the costume calls for something beyond a standard pink shoe.

Size Guide
These shoes run true to size. Always measure your child’s foot length and compare it to the chart below before ordering. If she falls between two sizes, go up one size for the most comfortable fit. Our full Girls Shoes Size Guide has a detailed breakdown of UK, EU, and US children’s shoe sizing.

Care Instructions
The tulle bow and rhinestone elements on these shoes benefit from a little extra care compared to a plain glitter shoe. Here is how to keep them in good condition:
- Cleaning the upper: Wipe down gently with a soft, lightly damp cloth after use. Work across the surface rather than scrubbing. Do not soak or submerge in water.
- The tulle bow: Avoid getting the tulle wet where possible. If it becomes creased after wear, allow it to air and the layers will generally resume their shape. Do not iron the tulle or apply direct heat. If individual layers flatten, ease them apart gently with your fingers. Avoid snagging the rhinestone edging on rough surfaces or clothing.
- The central crystal gem: Wipe with a dry soft cloth. The crystal is set into the centre of the bow structure and should stay securely in position with normal wear. Avoid knocking it against hard surfaces.
- The rhinestone heel: Wipe with a dry cloth. The dome rhinestones are set into the heel and hold well with standard wear. Avoid scraping the heel against abrasive surfaces, which can dislodge the stones over time.
- The pearl pendant: Wipe gently with a dry cloth. Avoid submerging in water or applying cleaning products to the pearl, which can damage its surface coating.
- The buckle strap: Wipe the metallic strap with a lightly damp cloth. Dry immediately with a soft towel. The pin buckle should be kept clean and free of debris to maintain smooth adjustment.
- Drying and storage: If damp, fill the inside with dry tissue paper and air dry at room temperature away from direct heat. Store in a shoe box or dust bag in a cool, dry place between uses. Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the metallic and rhinestone finishes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the bow on these shoes different from a standard bow?
The bow on the Fairy Wing Bow Glitter Heels is made from multiple layers of tulle rather than flat satin or fabric. The layers are shaped into butterfly wing profiles, the edges are outlined with rhinestones, the centre carries a faceted crystal gem, and butterfly motifs are printed into the tulle fabric itself. It has real depth and dimension. When light passes through the tulle, the shoe has a softness and movement that a plain satin bow simply cannot replicate.
Will the tulle bow lose its shape with wear?
The bow is built up from multiple layers which give it structure and volume. It holds its shape well through normal party and occasion wear. If individual tulle layers flatten slightly after several hours of wear, they can be eased apart gently with your fingers once the shoe is off. Avoid getting the tulle wet and do not apply heat to it, as both can cause the layers to stick together or lose their shape more permanently.
What are the rhinestones on the heel like?
The rhinestones on the heel block are dome-shaped rather than flat, which means they catch the light from multiple angles simultaneously. They are set in rows across the face of the block heel, so the sparkle is visible both from behind the child and from the side. This makes the heel a decorative element in its own right rather than just a structural one, which is why these shoes look particularly good in photographs from multiple angles.
Are these shoes comfortable for children to wear all day?
Yes. The low block heel at approximately 3cm has a wide, stable base that gives children good balance without placing strain on the foot. The colour-matched soft lining and cushioned insole keep the foot comfortable throughout extended wear. The adjustable pin buckle strap allows the shoe to be fitted snugly to each child’s foot width, preventing rubbing and the looseness that causes discomfort in poorly fitted occasion shoes.
Are these suitable for a flower girl or wedding?
Yes. The silver version is the most popular for formal occasions. The tulle butterfly bow has a delicate, almost bridal quality, and the rhinestone heel catches venue lighting in a way that adds real visual interest to the shoe in photographs. The low block heel is stable enough for a child to wear comfortably through a full ceremony and reception. These work well alongside most white, ivory, and champagne flower girl gowns.
How does the strap close on these shoes?
These shoes use an adjustable pin buckle strap. The pin passes through adjustment holes in the strap and locks into the buckle frame, giving a secure and adjustable fit. The gold ring and pearl drop pendant on the strap are decorative elements sitting on the outside of the buckle. The buckle allows the fit to be adjusted to each child’s foot width for comfort and security throughout wear.
What age range do these shoes fit?
These cover UK sizes 10.5 through to 3.5, which typically fits girls aged approximately 4 to 10 years. Always measure your child’s foot length in centimetres and match it to the size chart rather than going by age alone, as children’s feet vary considerably at any given age.
How do I measure my child’s foot correctly?
Stand your child on a piece of paper with their heel flat against a wall. Mark the tip of the longest toe, then measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres. Match that figure to the foot length column in the size chart above. If the measurement falls between two sizes, always choose the larger one for a comfortable fit.
Are these shoes non-slip?
Yes. The rubber sole provides grip on polished floors, tiles, and most indoor surfaces found at party venues, wedding halls, and event spaces. They are not intended for wet outdoor use, but for all standard occasion and party wear they offer reliable traction.
Can I return or exchange if the size is wrong?
Yes. We accept returns within 30 days of your order date, provided the shoes are unused and in their original condition with all tags still attached. Contact us to arrange an exchange for a different size and we will guide you through the process. Exchanges are dispatched within 48 hours of receiving the returned pair, subject to stock availability. Return postage is at the buyer’s cost.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Klarna and Clearpay are both available at checkout. We also accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
How long does UK delivery take?
UK delivery is free on orders over £13 and typically arrives within 5 to 20 working days. You will receive a confirmation email when your order is placed and a second when it has been dispatched. If your order does not arrive within the expected window, contact us and we will look into it promptly.
