Jelly they belong in your mouth and not on your feet…that was a line I was used to hearing back in the early 90s, late 80s when the jelly shoes were the in-fad. I guess I was lucky my parents never subscribed to the craze because I really hate the idea of having to run around all day in plastic shoes. Sure they were colourful – they came in every colour under sun but they were just pure plastic and from a kid’s perspective all the colours in the world weren’t worth getting cuts and bunions over. But the pain and toxicity aside, the jelly shoes are quite cute – they with their multi bright colours that reflected light giving that bubbled look.
If you are or were a fan of such shoes and now that you realize what a hazard they really are you must be quite disappointed about having to stay away from it. Well don’t turn away just yet because now we have the new improved jellies which are made from eco-friendly material and come in far greater choices of designs than before. If you thought jellies were cute before well now they are also beautiful, artsy and sheer expression thanks to Melissa Plastic Dreams.
