Spring Shoe Trend...Jellies??

Elle · Hermes

Wow. Just ... wow.

I hit that trend hard the first and second times around. I don't think I'll be revisiting it again.

sfclinevandy · Coach

Oh...the shoes of my youth. I remember my favorite pair when i was 6 were pink glitter and very similar to the 2nd pair you posted. The first pair isn't THAT bad but I don't think I'm going to go for these this time.

bumblebee · Coach

i wouldn't pay $100 for them--wtf? they are plastic shoes! but i like them from target for $7.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

Oh wow!!! Why do they keep trying to bring this back, I would not pay $100 for shoes made out of plastic...

jj · Kate Spade

All I can say is....sweaty feet. Why won't jellies go away?!?!?!

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

gross!

cc · Marc Jacobs

Didn't jellies pop up last year too? Or the year before? My mom never let me have them when I was little. Are they at all comfortable? They seem like they'd be horrible in the hot and humid weather. I can't even deal with wearing non-cloth or leather flip flops in the summer.

small fry · Chanel

oh my gosh , i cant believe these are back I had a pair of purple ones i loved them than , but now

Maddie · Coach

I've totally wanted jellies for like 3 years. I have no idea why, I usually hate stuff like that. I want more old school ones like this though...

I don't know why, they're totally uglier.

atlgirl · Gucci

Bahahahaha, Maddie, I had those like the last pic when I was in HS. That's the only time I did that trend - I skipped it the second go-round, and have no desire to jump on it again. Yech.

stylethread · Kenneth Cole

Oh god, those are making me flinch. I remember wearing those for an entire summer when I was probaby about 10. The rubber wasn't soft and jelly, so I got blisters. Ugh, I am not planning on incorportaing those into my spring wardrobe.

tina242 · Kate Spade

Aaah! Why? Those were ok once, a long time ago, and for a 6 year old or younger.....oh and for like 5 bucks, no more...

rocky · Coach

Yah I remember jellies being in last spring. They were at Urban outfitters and H&M.

Its funny to see higher end designers copying from street trends and not the other way around. In this case plastic shoes are not worth over $100.

NCshopper · Hermes

Oh god, my feet start sweating and feel all blister-y just LOOKING at them!!!

That's a trend I will not be getting into.

Stuff like this makes me wonder--who the hell decides this stuff? Who sits around going "Hmmm...y'know, I think this is the right time for jellies to make a comback!"

ETA: Which celeb are we going to see these on first? Mischa? Paris? Nicole? Jessica? I'm not quite picturing La Lohan in them, but it's not too far of a stretch.

jettie · Kate Spade

Ahhh! I just couldn't do it -- I don't want to deal with those terrible blisters ever again!

Definitely Mischa, its time to turn in her Keds

bumblebee · Coach

yeah, they were around last summer, too.

cc, to answer your question, they are pretty much horrifically uncomfortable, unless you can find the kind with a terry cloth liner in them. but they make your feet get all sweaty and blister-y. and when you want to look like the cool girls in the 6th grade, all pain is worth it ;)

FashionFreak · Kenneth Cole

No way, not for me. I wore them 10 years ago and I don't think I want to do it again.

NCshopper · Hermes

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this their second resurgence, after their original popularity? I remember wearing them as a preschooler, and they became popular again when I was in 7th grade (1993-94 ish), and now again?

I think its time to retire the trend for good.
