Jelly shoes

Marc Jacobs has probably made jelly shoes chic again--and what a blast from the past it is. Still, I can't envision wearing them anywhere else but on the beach or at the pool--such an unimaginative fuddy-duddy I am. But seriously, would you take these out on the town? Don't they get rather hot in the heat of summer? Won't they melt or get yukky on the overheated asphalt? I know they're not suitable for the office, nor are they exactly appropriate for an elegant outfit, so enlighten me here. Perhaps it's a mental obstacle--one that stubbornly refuses to re-live my misguided youth by getting plastic-clad. I love Marc Jacobs with a passion, but it's really hard for me to embrace his line of jelly shoes (he seems to come up with new models every year now).

Not for me, sorry!

I just talked a friend out of buying a pair earlier this week. They were a red ballet flat, made out of the jelly fabric. I convinced her not to by pointing out that your feet would sweat to death, which is kind of gross since the shoes would have no absorbency. I don't know though; I would also be concerned about wear and tear. $5 jelly shoes from the grocery store when I was little, that's one thing. Marc Jacobs? That's another!

NOOOOOO! they remind me of old ladies going grocery shopping...!

[mizz_tiff]

wow i never thought i would see shoes like that again!

[PradaLikeAGlove]

Yeah, I'd have to agree those are a bit much.

If you're looking for an amazingly low key "jelly" in an up-to-date color/style...I HIGHLY reccomend these by Melissa Campana.. I can wear them with everything and they are the MOST COMFORTABLE shoes i own! Have them in black and gold!

They’re like crocs, but they’re not as ugly, and they look less comfortable than people claim crocs are (I’m not buying it). The problem is this: for some reason, they’re supposed to be something people who are mature and adult like and would wear. One word: traumatic. What are they thinking?

I don't know what is wrong with our higher end shoe makers. Stuart Weitzman has jellys. I just saw a bunch of others, only am too lazy to do the research now. One thing is certain, they will not carry them for long.

Biggest problem to me? Jellies are maybe $5 worth of molded plastic ...add a designer name & $200 pricetag...Ouch. Designer Jellies are just wrong, IMHO.
