Remember the unmistakable scent of plastic and the playful sparkle of your childhood footwear? Jelly shoes, once the staple of summer wardrobes through the '80s and '90s, are making a triumphant return. These fun, colourful shoes, designed for practicality and affordability, have been revived by contemporary designers and high street outlets alike, as spotted everywhere from the pages of fashion magazines to beaches (where, one might argue, they belong) to catwalks.



The perfect shoe for paddling and scrambling down shingle, these pairs – for women and girls alike – are a nostalgic walk down a bucket-and-spade-thronged memory lane. Want twice the fun? Twinning is always winning when it comes to matching jelly shoes for grown-ups and little ones through the happy beach days of high summer.
