Lace and pearl bow Mary Jane heels for girls, available in pink and gold for £27.99
Some shoes are pretty. These shoes are proper. The Pearl Bow Lace Heels combine a delicate lace overlay with a large pearl-beaded bow, a rhinestone-studded heel block, and a gold-lined cushioned insole, and the result is a shoe that looks far more expensive than it is.
Where most girls’ party shoes go down the sequin-and-glitter route, these take a more refined approach. The lace upper gives them a vintage, almost bridal quality. The pearl beading around the bow adds weight and texture. The rhinestones on the heel catch the light in a way that photographs strikingly well. These are the shoes that grandparents notice, that guests comment on, and that little girls refuse to take off at the end of the night.
At £27.99 with free UK delivery on orders over £13, you can pay in instalments using Klarna or Clearpay at checkout.
What Makes These Shoes Special
Every detail on these shoes has been put there for a reason. Here is a full breakdown of what you are getting:
- Lace overlay upper over a glitter base, giving the shoe a layered, textured finish that reads as elegant rather than flashy
- Pearl-beaded bow on the toe, a large cluster of pearl and crystal beading with a grosgrain ribbon bow on top
- Rhinestone-studded heel block, rows of crystals embedded into the side of the heel for a polished, formal finish
- Crystal charm pendant hanging from the buckle, a small but distinctive detail that sets these apart from standard party shoes
- Gold metallic lining inside the shoe, giving a premium feel against the foot
- Low block heel at approximately 3cm, stable and comfortable for children to wear for extended periods
- Cushioned insole with padded leather lining for all-day comfort at parties and events
- Non-slip rubber sole, providing grip on polished and tiled floors
- Adjustable buckle strap for a secure, personalised fit across different foot widths
- PU leather base that wipes clean and holds its shape with regular use
The Design in Detail
The most distinctive element of these shoes is the combination of the lace upper and the pearl bow. Most girls’ party shoes use a single surface treatment: glitter, patent leather, or satin. These use lace laid over a glitter base, which creates a layered look that catches the light differently depending on the angle. Up close, you can see the pattern in the lace clearly. From a distance, the whole shoe shimmers.
The bow on the toe is not a flat fabric bow. It is a beaded cluster of pearls and faceted crystals grouped together with a ribbon bow tied through the centre. It has real dimension and weight to it, which is part of why it photographs so well. It is the kind of detail that reads clearly in wedding and christening photos, which makes these a popular choice for those occasions.
The rhinestone-studded heel block is a detail that is easy to miss in a product image but immediately noticeable in person. Rows of small crystals are set into the block heel itself, so the sparkle is not just on the upper but runs all the way down the shoe. It is an unusual feature at this price point and one that gives the shoe a noticeably more finished look compared to a standard low-heeled party shoe.
Available Colours
These shoes are available in two colours. Both are formal enough for weddings and christenings and work equally well for birthday parties and school performances.
| Colour | Best For | Works Well With |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | Weddings, flower girl, formal occasions, Christmas events | Ivory, champagne, white, blush, and red dresses |
| Pink | Birthday parties, christenings, garden parties, school shows | White, cream, lilac, and soft pastel dresses |
What Occasions Are These Shoes For?
The lace and pearl design makes these shoes particularly well suited to formal and semi-formal occasions. They sit naturally alongside flower girl dresses, christening gowns, and formal party dresses in a way that more obviously sparkly shoes sometimes do not. If you are looking for a girls’ shoe that fits comfortably within a wedding or christening aesthetic without looking too costume-like, these are the right choice.
For birthday parties and school performances, the pink version works especially well. The softer finish of the lace is less overwhelming than full sequin shoes in natural lighting, which makes it a more versatile option if the shoe needs to work across multiple occasions rather than just one event.

Care Instructions
The lace upper and pearl detail on these shoes require a little more care than a standard leather shoe. Here is how to keep them looking their best:
- Cleaning the lace upper: Wipe gently with a barely damp cloth in the direction of the lace pattern. Do not rub against the grain of the lace, as this can distort it. Avoid soaking or submerging in water.
- Cleaning the bow: Wipe the pearl beading with a soft dry cloth. The ribbon bow can be shaped gently back into place if it loses its form after wear. Avoid getting the bow wet where possible.
- Cleaning the strap: The metallic buckle strap wipes clean with a lightly damp cloth. Dry immediately with a soft towel to prevent water marks on the metallic finish.
- The rhinestone heel: Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths or cleaning sprays directly on the heel crystals, as this can loosen the setting over time.
- Drying: If the shoes get damp, stuff the inside with dry tissue to hold the shape and leave to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a box or dust bag in a cool, dry place. Keep them away from direct sunlight, which can cause the metallic elements to fade and the lace to yellow over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the upper material on these shoes?
The upper is a lace overlay laid over a glitter base, all built on a PU leather construction. The lace gives the shoe its distinctive texture and pattern, while the glitter underneath adds shimmer when the light catches it. The overall effect is more refined than a purely glitter shoe and sits closer to the aesthetic of bridal or occasion footwear.
Are these shoes suitable for a flower girl or wedding?
Yes, and this is one of the occasions they are most commonly bought for. The gold version pairs particularly well with ivory and champagne flower girl gowns. The lace upper and pearl bow give the shoe a bridal quality that more obviously sparkly shoes do not always carry. The low block heel is stable enough for a child to wear through a full ceremony and reception without discomfort.
Are these shoes comfortable for children to wear all day?
Yes. The block heel is low at approximately 3cm and wider at the base than a kitten heel, which gives far better stability and distributes the child’s weight more evenly. The cushioned insole and padded leather lining absorb impact underfoot. The adjustable buckle strap can be fitted snugly to the foot to prevent slipping or rubbing, which is one of the most common causes of discomfort in children’s occasion shoes.
Will the pearl beading or rhinestones fall off with wear?
The pearl beading and rhinestones are set into the design rather than simply glued onto the surface. With normal wear and proper care, they hold their position well. As with any beaded or embellished shoe, avoid catching the bow on sharp edges and handle with care when putting on and taking off, particularly for younger children who may pull at the decoration.
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. Children’s feet vary considerably between individuals, so we always recommend measuring your child’s foot length directly and matching it to the size chart rather than going by 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. If the measurement sits between two sizes, order the larger one. The size chart in this page covers all available sizes in detail.
Are these shoes non-slip?
Yes. The rubber sole provides grip on polished floors, tiles, and most indoor surfaces commonly found at parties, wedding venues, and event spaces. They are not intended for wet outdoor use, but for all normal occasion and party wear they offer reliable traction.
How do I clean the lace upper?
Wipe the lace gently with a barely damp cloth, working in the direction of the lace pattern. Do not scrub or rub against the grain. Avoid soaking the shoe or submerging it in water, as this can cause the lace to distort and the glitter base to deteriorate. Allow to air dry naturally if it gets wet.
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. If you need a different size, contact us and we will guide you through the exchange process. Exchanges are dispatched within 48 hours of receiving the returned item, 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.
