crystal-studded shoes
Are they adult or children's shoes? If adult women's shoes, then you probably want 'crystal-studded shoes.' If they are children's shoes, then you could use something like 'sneakers with flashing lights.'
Example sentence:
She wore high-heeled, crystal-studded sandals with her formal dress.
You could see the chidren's sneakers, with the flashing lights in their soles, in the darkened theatre.

featured shoe
From the context I would guess that they are talking about the featured item. The shoe in discussion is half the price of the featured shoe or shoe of the week. You could also say it is a featured item or product, depending on the context and tone thereof. Or if this is more informal: "hot" shoe, as in most currently fashionable
