Poll: Are Jellies Hot or Not?


Seems like every designer is reworking the jelly sandal for Spring - Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Fendi, and Michael Kors to name a few - and there are dozens of budget-friendly jellies to choose from as well. But we all know (especially us '80s babies) that plastic shoes often equal painful, sweaty feet. Nonetheless, something like this clear jelly thong sandal (above) with an adjustable ankle strap looks pretty cute and wearable for say, the beach or poolside - and for $7.80, we're willing to give juicy jellies one more try! But what about you…

What?! I cannot believe so many people don't like them! Is it the t-strap thong style in the picture you all don't like, or just that they're made of jelly? Cause I think those are cute...

I had a pair of clear thong jellies that I bought at Aldo years ago and I loved to wear them with linen trousers. I found the it looked beachy/elegant. I'm for them ! Until my dog ran out and hid one of them :-(
