oh yeah, but I only do jelly flip-flops and flats. No idiotic trainers or boots or whatever.

I love jelly shoes. But then again, the words that describe my personality (though I am 16) are pickle, socks, and skipping, so i wouldn’t trust my view on questionable footwear. I have some red jellies, and I love them. They are my ideal shoe.

Melissa/ Grendene of Brazil have developed a material called Melflex. It is breathable believe it or not, and the plastic is infused with a bubble gum smell. It will only last about 6 months but none the less, they are the original Jelly. There are new styles for 2008. The new jelly pump is the Melissa Neon Doc Dog. Quite cute. Check out what they have to offer. www.melissausa.com www.grendhausa.com
Cheers and enjoy your summer.

I’d have to disagree. Jelly shoes can be very distasteful, but I have a couple pairs that served me well last summer. they were more comfortable to me than flip-flops, and i didn’t notice a sweaty feet problem. they are also excellent for practicing ballroom dance in, believe it or not. I think it they are chosen wisely, and can look great and be useful!

Seriously guys I saw a girl in class in shoes like that today and I just had to ask why.
Why would anyone want to see your feet especially with an ugly shoe on it. Plus they smell and who wants foot smell and slimey feet? Not me.

Yes to the beach instead of flip-flops (or thongs as we call them in Australia), no anywhere else.

I agree with Natasha; I had a pair of jelly shoes when I was about 8 and the cuts and blisters they made on my feet the first time I wore them was enough for me to never wear them again.

Oh sweet zombie Jesus, you know you’re getting old when the fashion mistakes of your childhood come full circle. I need a cup of tea. With some gin in it.

apart from the foul smell and the ickiness of the feet, another reason why i really hate jelly shoes is that they tend to cut up your feet pretty badly! add their fugliness and – voila – you have the shoes from hell!

Yes, the foul odor of foot makes jelly shoes less than sexy in my opinion.
And yes, there are jellies with heels, I have seen the horror. They were electric neon purple with silver glitter in them, and it was the chunky sort of heel, but a heel nonetheless.
