Girls glitter peep toe sandals with a pearl bow, holographic insole, and moon and star charm, in 5 colours for £27.99
Every other shoe in this range is a closed-toe Mary Jane court shoe. The Pearl Bow Glitter Peep Toe Sandals are built differently. The open toe gives them a lighter, more summery quality that suits warm weather events, outdoor parties, and garden weddings in a way that the closed-toe styles in the collection simply cannot.
The glitter upper and pearl bow keep them firmly in occasion shoe territory. The layered bow on the vamp has a rhinestone bar across its centre and pearl drops hanging beneath it, and a moon and star charm swings from the buckle. Inside, a holographic rainbow insole catches the light when the child takes the shoe off or steps in a way that allows the inside to be glimpsed, a detail that delights children and surprises parents.
Available in blue, gold, pink, purple, and silver at £27.99. Free UK delivery on orders over £13, with Klarna and Clearpay at checkout.
What Makes These Shoes Special
- Open peep toe design: the only open-toe heeled sandal in the collection, suitable for warmer weather occasions and a lighter, more summery aesthetic than closed-toe styles
- Layered glitter bow with pearl drops: a double-layered glitter bow with scalloped ruffled petal edges, a rhinestone bar across the centre, and pearl drop pendants hanging below
- Holographic rainbow insole: the lining inside the shoe is a full holographic rainbow film that shifts colour when the light hits it, a hidden detail unique to this shoe in the range
- Moon and star rhinestone charm hanging from the gold buckle ring on the ankle strap
- Full glitter upper with a fine sequin finish that coordinates with the colour of the bow and strap
- Colour-matched metallic strap: the ankle strap coordinates with the upper colour in each version
- Low block heel at 3cm: stable and comfortable for extended wear, confirmed comfortable for a full day’s wear
- Adjustable pin buckle strap for a secure and personalised fit across different foot widths
- Non-slip rubber sole with a flower-print tread pattern providing grip on polished and outdoor surfaces
- Microfibre lining: the interior uses a soft microfibre material that reduces friction against the foot and keeps temperature comfortable throughout wear
The Open Toe: Why It Matters
All other heeled shoes in this range are closed-toe court shoes. This distinction matters more than it might first appear, because it changes the shoe’s suitability across several key occasions.
For summer birthday parties, outdoor garden events, and warm weather weddings, an open-toe shoe breathes better and feels lighter on the foot than an equivalent closed-toe design. Children who find closed shoes warm or uncomfortable in summer will generally tolerate sandal-style footwear more comfortably for several hours.
The peep toe also changes how the shoe photographs. From the front, the open toe creates a lighter, more delicate silhouette that works particularly well in outdoor natural light. The bow decoration on the vamp reads more clearly in open-toe designs because nothing competes with it at the front of the shoe.
For parents who want a shoe that bridges the gap between a casual summer sandal and a formal occasion shoe, the Pearl Bow Glitter Peep Toe Sandals sit exactly in that space. The glitter upper and bow keep them firmly in party and occasion territory; the open toe means they work in weather and settings where a closed court shoe would feel too heavy.
The Pearl Bow in Detail
- Double-layered glitter fabric: two layers of glitter fabric petals in the same colour as the upper, giving the bow real volume and dimension against the vamp of the shoe
- Scalloped ruffled petal edges: each bow layer has a scalloped border rather than a clean cut edge, giving the bow a soft, ruffle-like finish that moves slightly with the child
- Rhinestone bar accent: a horizontal rhinestone bar runs across the centre of the bow where the two layers meet, adding a defined sparkling element at the focal point of the decoration
- Pearl drop pendants: one or more pearl drops hang from the centre of the bow beneath the rhinestone bar, giving the bow a jewellery-like quality and a small amount of movement as the child walks
- Colour coordination: the bow fabric, petal scalloping, and pearl drops all coordinate with the colour of the upper so the whole shoe reads as a single, unified design
The Holographic Insole
Open the shoe and look inside. The lining uses a full holographic rainbow film that catches and shifts colour under any light source, producing a continuous spectrum of colour across the insole. Under natural daylight it reads as a warm iridescent shimmer. Under indoor lighting it produces stronger, more directed colour flashes.
This is a detail that most buyers will not see coming from the product images. Children tend to notice it immediately when putting the shoes on and it is frequently one of the first things they show to other people. It is also practical: the holographic film surface is smooth and reduces friction against the sole of the foot, which contributes to the comfort of the shoe during extended wear.
No other shoe in this collection has a holographic insole. It is a feature worth noting in the listing because it adds perceived value that photographs alone cannot fully convey.
Available Colours
Five colours, each with a colour-matched glitter upper, bow, strap, and buckle:
| Colour | Best For | Works Well With |
|---|---|---|
| Pink | Summer birthdays, garden parties, christenings, flower girl | White, blush, ivory, lilac, and soft pastel dresses |
| Silver | Weddings, formal summer events, photoshoots | White, ivory, grey, champagne, and most formal dress colours |
| Gold | Weddings, flower girl, summer celebrations, formal events | Champagne, ivory, blush, white, and navy dresses |
| Blue | Summer garden parties, princess-themed events, outdoor occasions | White, silver, navy, yellow, and floral occasion dresses |
| Purple | Birthday parties, themed events, school performances | White, pink, black, and rainbow-coloured outfits |
What Occasions Are These Shoes For?
The open-toe design makes these sandals the strongest option in the range for any warm weather outdoor occasion: garden parties, outdoor weddings, and summer birthday parties where the child will be on grass or a patio rather than an indoor event floor. The non-slip rubber sole with its flower-print tread pattern provides grip on both smooth indoor surfaces and the slightly less predictable surfaces of outdoor event spaces.
For weddings and christenings, gold and silver are the most popular choices. Both photograph well in outdoor natural light, which is typically the lighting condition for the most important photos at these events. The pearl drops on the bow catch direct sunlight particularly well, producing a soft warm glow rather than the harder flash that rhinestones produce indoors.
For summer birthday parties and themed events, pink, blue, and purple offer the most playful and celebratory options. The blue version is especially popular for outdoor garden and fairy-themed events, where the open-toe design feels especially appropriate for the occasion. For styling ideas across occasions, our girls special occasion wear collection has matching dresses for every event type.
How to Style These Shoes
The open-toe design gives these sandals more versatility across outfit styles than a closed court shoe. They work particularly well with shorter hemlines that allow the shoe to be clearly seen:

Size Guide
These sandals run true to size. Because the toe is open, sizing can be slightly more forgiving than a closed shoe. We still recommend measuring your child’s foot length and matching it to the chart below for the best fit. If she falls between two sizes, go up one size. Visit our Girls Shoes Size Guide for a full UK, EU, and US children’s shoe sizing breakdown.
| UK Size | EU Size | Foot Length (cm) | Foot Width (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.5 | 23 | 16.5 | 4.5 |
| 8 | 24 | 17.0 | 4.8 |
| 9 | 25 | 17.3 | 5.0 |
| 10.5 | 26 | 17.5 | 5.0 |
| 11 | 27 | 18.0 | 5.5 |
| 11.5 | 28 | 18.5 | 6.0 |

Care Instructions
- Cleaning the upper: Wipe down with a soft, lightly damp cloth after use. Work gently across the glitter surface without scrubbing. Do not soak or submerge. The open-toe construction means the inside of the shoe is more exposed to dust and light dirt than a closed design, so a quick wipe after each wear keeps them in good condition.
- The bow and pearl drops: Wipe the glitter bow fabric gently with a dry cloth. Handle the pearl drop pendants with care and avoid catching them on rough surfaces or clothing when putting the sandals on and taking them off. The rhinestone bar accent wipes clean with a dry soft cloth.
- The holographic insole: Wipe with a lightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid abrasive cloths or cleaning chemicals directly on the holographic film, which can damage the colour-shift coating over time.
- The buckle strap: Wipe the metallic strap with a lightly damp cloth. Dry immediately with a soft towel. Keep the pin buckle clear of debris to maintain smooth adjustment. The moon and star charm wipes clean with a dry cloth.
- After outdoor use: If the sandals have been worn outdoors on grass or uneven surfaces, check the sole and clean any debris from the flower-print tread before the next indoor use. The rubber sole is washable with a damp cloth.
- Drying and storage: If damp, allow to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat. Store in a shoe box or dust bag between uses. Keep away from direct sunlight, which can fade the metallic elements and reduce the quality of the holographic insole finish over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are these different from the other heeled shoes in the range?
These are the only open-toe peep toe sandals in the collection. Every other heeled shoe is a closed-toe Mary Jane court shoe. The open-toe design makes these more suitable for warmer weather occasions, outdoor events, and summer parties where a closed shoe would feel too heavy. They also have a holographic rainbow insole that no other shoe in the range has, and the bow uses pearl drop pendants rather than any of the rhinestone, crown, or butterfly wing decoration found on the closed-toe styles.
Are open-toe sandals suitable for children at a wedding or formal event?
Yes, particularly for outdoor or summer weddings. Open-toe heeled sandals are a standard choice for women at formal occasions and the equivalent children’s version works well for flower girls and young guests at warm weather weddings and christenings. Gold and silver are the most formal-looking options and both coordinate with most white and ivory flower girl gowns. For indoor winter formal events, a closed-toe shoe from the collection would typically be more appropriate.
What is the holographic insole?
The insole inside these sandals uses a holographic rainbow film that shifts colour when the light hits it from different angles, producing a continuous spectrum of colour across the lining of the shoe. It is visible when the child puts the sandal on and when the light hits the inside of the shoe at the right angle during wear. Children tend to notice and enjoy this detail immediately. The holographic surface is also smooth, which reduces friction and contributes to comfortable wear over several hours.
Are these sandals suitable for outdoor wear?
Yes, within reasonable limits. The non-slip rubber sole with its flower-print tread pattern provides grip on outdoor surfaces including dry grass, patios, and event flooring. They are not designed for wet conditions or rough outdoor terrain. For a garden party, outdoor wedding, or any event on a dry, reasonably level outdoor surface, they perform well. Avoid wearing them in rain or on muddy or uneven ground.
Are these comfortable for children to wear all day?
Yes. The 3cm block heel has a wide, stable base for good balance. The soft microfibre lining and holographic insole reduce friction against the sole of the foot, which helps comfort over extended wear. The open-toe design also means the foot does not overheat in warm conditions as quickly as in a closed shoe. The adjustable pin buckle strap can be set snugly for each child’s foot width to prevent slipping inside the sandal.
What is the closure on these sandals?
These sandals use an adjustable pin buckle ankle strap. The pin passes through holes in the strap and locks into the buckle frame for a secure and adjustable fit. The decorative gold buckle ring and moon and star charm are ornamental elements on the outside of the strap. Because these are open-toe sandals, fitting the strap correctly is important to ensure the foot is held in place properly, particularly for younger children who are less accustomed to heeled footwear.
What age range do these sandals fit?
These cover UK sizes 7.5 through to 3.5, which typically fits girls aged approximately 2 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 where the tip of the longest toe falls, 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 open-toe sandals, the foot length measurement is the most reliable guide as the width is less constrained than in a closed shoe.
Are these sandals non-slip?
Yes. The rubber sole uses a flower-print tread pattern that provides grip on polished indoor floors, tiled surfaces, and most dry outdoor surfaces. They are not designed for wet or muddy conditions, but for all standard indoor and dry outdoor occasion 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 sandals are unused and in their original condition with all tags still attached. Contact us to arrange an exchange for a different size. 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.
