Love them endlessly, wear them sparingly ..... or not! Just remember, regardless of how well the crystals are attached to a shoe or piece of clothing, continual wear will result in crystals detaching.
Store as you would any other shoe - in a cool, dry, well ventilated place, away from other shoes and indeed each other to prevent damaging the crystals or the shoe fabric.
If your crystals get wet, dry them immediately - but very gently. Water can damage the surface of the crystal and reduce its shine so try not to get them wet. A regular very gentle wipe with a cotton bud should help to maintain that sparkle.

Treat feather shoes very carefully. Store as you would any other delicate shoe - in a cool, dry, well ventilated place, out of direct sunlight. To prevent damage preferably store them away from each other and other shoes.
Do not wear your feather shoes in wet conditions. If you do get caught out, dry the feathers as soon as possible with cool air (a hairdryer on a very cool and low fan setting is preferable, but a bathroom hand dryer at a reasonable distance from the feather to ensure the air is neither too hot nor to strong, may also do the trick). Once dry, shake soft fluffy feathers to return them to their full fluffiness or gently brush stronger feathers with a soft bristled brush to restore them to their full feathery structure.
Remember feathers are so delicate that any contamination will transfer directly upon touching.
Always handle your feather shoes with clean hands to avoid transfer of makeup, moisturiser etc, to avoid the feathers becoming dirty, limp and lackluster, and ultimately destroying the look of your exquisite feather shoes.
