Wait, does she have potion vials worked into her heels? Sheesh, why's everyone cribbing Bayonetta's style?
"Sure, let's put these hollow glass vials as heels! Nothing can get wrong, right? It's not like I'm going to run in these, or kick monsters in the face with it!" Yes, yes she did. To be perfectly fair, in the official art it wasn't depicted as potion vials, but rather some crystalline matter, so this is another 'artist didn't study enough' kind of botched art adaptation.
Nevertheless, considering how normal heels works, she gonna get some really awkward ankle strain, not to mention it limits the range of motion... Fantasy genre and their nonsense clothing accessories 101.
Of course the in-game model would look solid. Setting that small part up to be animated sounds like the kind of obnoxious attention to detail Gust don't engage in.

If they're crystals, why do they leave exhaust particles?
It's liquid, bro.
The heels don't even have a hole for any liquid or matter to pass through. It's MAGIC. Anyway, based on the character sheet we have here it is something like a magical emitter with energy crystal rods as fuel.
Le duh. It's a game about an alchemist in a sword-and-sorcery setting, of course it's fucking magic! What I'm saying is that it's a potion or concoction of some kind rather than a magic crystal.

What do you base this theory on? Is it in the untranslated bits, can you read Japanese?

Look, I don't know how to put this without making it offensive, but I PLAYED THE GAME. It's IN THE GAME.
And you're not only wrong, you're missing the premise altogether. In this game, Alchemy is both forbidden and lost art since the last disaster it brought against humanity, and the world is currently depending on science (to be precise, magitech) instead of pure 'magic'.; Yumia is part of survey team assigned to research alchemy in order to prevent future calamities, and that's why the game is unlike 'normal' atelier series where magic is mainly the focus: potions are practically nonexist in the whole world until she can make them in story progression; Yumia uses a gun-staff and she synthetized the bullets using mana, it would be really weird to power her shoes with potions, no? Not to mention, at the beginning of the story Yumia is barely an alchemist; how'd you explain her shoes powered by a 'potion'? Or Flammi the lamp, a hand-me-down from her mother which also powered by the same thing?
And if you're still doubting that explanation, just play the game or watch a playthrough of it.
Maybe you should've lead with that, would have saved us both a lot of time.
Not sure if you insisting it's a liquid going to save time, even insisting that the light trail was 'exhaust particles', but sure, if there's a next time.
