Metallic shoes have been everywhere this year, moving beyond being special-occasion shoes to a style you can integrate into your everyday rotation. For those who prefer a subtler approach, however, understated alternatives to mirror-like finishes are now emerging — enter crystal-embellished shoes. Classic styles are instantly transformed with the introduction of a sparkly element, either as an all-over texture, an accent detail, or both.

The polished appeal of pointed toes is refined even further with crystal embellishments, as they give the sensible silhouette an eye-catching twist. The recycled polyester bow kitten-heel mules feature bows made out of gems as a key detail, while the sand iteration makes a bolder statement by adorning the entire shoe in embellishments. For a more flirtatious option, the open toes of the leather & suede heeled mules enhance the allure of its shimmery finish.

Depending on the occasion and setting, these sparkly L’initial shoes can be dressed up or down to complement your looks. For a glitzy night out, pair your cocktail dress with the sand iteration of the crystal-embellished slingback pumps to create a show-stopping ensemble. If you prefer a subtle way to incorporate a touch of glimmer into your look, the shiny bow details will enliven the black finish of the recycled polyester bow slingback pumps.
