Frequently Asked Questions

 

 Q  How long do Glitter Heels take to create and be ready to ship?

A.  Turnaround Time - We are unable to guarantee any sort of turnaround time. This is due to the fact that sometimes unforeseen things happen that are completely out of our control. These things can include: hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, mail delivery delays, packages getting misplaced by the mail delivery system, your countries custom process, printer malfunctions, heels suddenly going out of stock, kids getting sick, house fires, emergency room situations, etc.

Glitter Heels are each individually handcrafted to perfection and this process can takes weeks.  Tiffany is the only artist creating these magical heels (and she's not a robot, we checked) so it can take a while to get through the hundreds of heels that were ordered before yours.  We refuse to rush through any heel being made so that can take time.  We do know that you, as thousands of other long time clients, will love and cherish your heels greatly and be so happy you had the patience to wait for a real person, an artist not a machine, to make a custom pair of heels just for you. 

We realize that everyone is in a hurry to get their very own Glitter Heels ~ and it is certainly our goal to deliver as quickly as humanly possible. However, there are certainly things that we have zero control over ~ and as we all know, that is the nature of life. If you are in a BIG hurry, we highly encourage you to have a backup plan or ask if its possible to rush your order and jump the que for an additional fee. In a perfect world, it would be amazing if the design was done in one day and the product was delivered yesterday with no hiccups. But unfortunately, none of us live in a perfect world ~ {insert sad face}. 

Glitter Heels are custom and handmade to order, never kept in stock 

 If heels are needed by a specific time and/or need to be rushed please contact us to ask if it is possible.

 Q.  Does the glitter come off?

A.  No, the glitter does not come off. They will show wear as all heels do.  All glitter is professionally applied and sealed 4 times with industrial sealant.  Your heels will shed slightly during the first few wears but this is only loose surface glitter.  The heel has millions of glitter particles attached to it and will remain sparkly for their lifetime.

 Q.  What if I want to put a different color glitter on a heel on the website?

A.  You can put any color glitter or design on any heel style.  When you order just pick the heel style that you want and then leave a note at checkout about what color glitter you want on the heel. If you want a design on a different heel style choose the design for pricing and leave a note at checkout about the heel style you want.

Q. I have a design idea, can you make a custom heel for me?

A.  Yes!! Glitter Heels was born out of a need for a custom design dance heel. Glitter Heels are not made until you order them so you can request any design/color you have in mind. Most designs and logo are possible. Design with fine details will not work on texture glitter but simple designs do. If you have a outfit that you want to match your heels perfectly we can find the perfect shade to match. Please Contact Us with your design requests and we will tell you if its possible and give you a quote.

 Q. I dont know what size to order?

A.  All heels sizes are in USA Womans sizes.  All brands of dance heels have the same sizing. Check the chart for International size conversion. The best way to check your size if you dont already own a pair of dance heels is to measure your foot. We DO NOT take any responsibility for the size you order so please choose carefully as ALL SALES ARE FINAL
