:thumbup: I'm so excited!!:thumbup:
Maybe all you girls lucky enough to live close to an Old Navy already knew this, but I just was browsing online and found these:

I'm definitely getting me a pair, and I hope you will too. :p
So are they all the rage in the States already? Do you have more Jellies to show me? I just was so cool in grade school wearing them, and I want to be cool again!

Gosh I had about 37 pairs of Jellies when I was in the 3rd grade....was wondering if Naomi would ever get the pleasure of wearing them! :p Those are cute!

Oh my gosh, I used to love jellie shoes when I was a kid! I hadn't seen these either and wonder if they will be everywhere now!

Yeah, I am not so big on them either...I have big feet to begin with so they don't look so good on me!!!!!

jellies never went away :P lol and THOSE particular shoes are hideous :D
I saw some for little girls at Baby Gap and they were really cute.
I used to wear the heck out of some jellies when I was a kid and they were the rage. However....I don't think I am gonna try them now. :p I seem to recall how sweaty they made your feet and yeah...not a good thing for someone living in FL.

Does anyone remember Jelly blisters? That particular brand of blisters that only wearing cheap rubber shoes can give you?

I don't like those jellies but jellies in general (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/602-9929366-8770202?ASIN=B000WE3VQE&AFID=Froogle&LNM=B000WE3VQE|Xhilaration_Merce_Jelly_Shoes__Pink&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B000WE3VQE&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001) are friggin AWESOME!

Oh yeah. That too. :p
so don't miss the Jellie blisters those were awful...but when I was little I thought they were great and didn't care.....lol if only I knew my little toe would look like it does today I think I would have cared a little

Never a fan of the jellies either. I tried to be...just wasn't my thing.

omg YES I so used to love my jellies.....even though they'd leave imprints in my feet for three days after wearing them, lol. I had a pink iridescent pair that were just the end all be all :P

My favorite jellies were clear. I went swimming in the river with my B/F/F and the mud sucked one of them right off my feet.
I was never the same after that tragedy...:crying:

I've been seeing them all over lately, in Target, Walmart, Old Navy and several stores at our mall! I remember having several pairs when I was younger, not sure if I'm going to get any but my girls would probably like them!

I bought a pink pair last year at Claire's. :eek:
However, they were too big, so I couldn't wear them. My feet would just walk right out of them. I was devastated. BF was glad he only spent 8 bucks on them.
I am SO on a mission again this year to get jellies! They are DA BOMB!!
Susan Toon

Yep...not big on jellies here either.

oh i LOVED them when i was a kid. I'll definitly be getting the girls some, but i think i'll stick to my regular 2 for$5 old navy flip flops, lol. I do remember how sweaty your feet got. I used to have a pair that had white lace underneath the 'jellie'. it got all dirty and stinky, gross! i think i was 10 or so.

My favorite favorite flip flops are Teva's or Reef's. SO flippin comfy, I live in them during the summer.

Oh I love my Reef's! As for jellies, I don't think I ever wore them and I certainly don't intend to start now. :D

I won't wear them again but Iwish I had a little girl so she could LOL

I would so get those Target ones for my little one, but they don't come in her size! :thumbdown: Holy Canoli though, at least 5 other pairs of shoes in the toddler section she "needs"

i don't think I ever wore jellies. am not going to start now. will stick to my ugly Crocs :p .
Jellies do not look comfy to me at all. I'm all about comfy shoes.

I remember loving them as a kid (I had some to with the lace in them too) but did hate how bad they made my feet sweat an the blisters they gave me. No way would I wear them now, I am all about the comfort and not so much the fashion!!! :D

I used to LOVE wearing jellies! I'm so mad because I had this AWESOME hot pink pair and when I moved in with my hubby (boyfriend at the time) he made me get rid of them (he hates any kind of cool/funky shoe style). I had them in high school (they were in style one year) and then they went out of style but I LOVED them. I am SO SO mad that I let him talk me into tossing them. I'm am getting my little girl a pair...OHHHH YEAH!!! Hubby will hate it! LOL!!

I used to love them and had just about every color. Now that I have a big size 9 I bet they're not so cute anymore. :)

Loved them when I was a kid and even had a pair of pink platform ones in high school but I hated how sweaty and grody they made my feet. When I'd take them off I'd have those nasty dirt streaks.:thumbdown:

I've never had the pleasure of wearing Jellies...but I don't wear flip-flops at all because of the blisters I'd get between my toes! OUCH!

04-21-2008, 12:23 PM
Never heard of them before, but if they arent comfy you wouldn't catch me wearing them. I live for the comfort LOL

Oh I remember Jellies!!! I was in high school when they were popular. I think I am gonna stick with my crocs.

04-21-2008, 12:42 PM
omg! my first jellies were kitten heeled white ones! i was 9 and i felt so freaking cool in them! i also felt a quarter of an inch taller! LOL
jellies for me as an adult...not so much. i think i'll stick to flip flops. =0)

I just remembered I had a couple of the pairs with the big chunky heels in high school too! I had forgotten all about those ones!

I pledge on all that is good and hol(e)y [ha ha --- get it?!], Kellie, that I will buy a pair this summer, take a picture of my sweaty feet in them, and post it here just for you. :)

I'll be the odd one out. I hated jellies in school..and just rolled my eyes when I saw them not long ago in a shop LOL. But that pair in the OP is certainly more stylish than the ones I remember wearing way back when :)

I can't wear jellies either. I had two pairs as a kid and they both turned my feet black. The shoes were clear with glitter, so it wasn't plastic rub-off either. We never did figure out what caused it, my mom and I just decided that shoes that turn feet black were a bad idea.

LMAO...umm...yeah, I'd figure that's not a good sign, either... :blink:

Hahahahahaha omg that made me laugh!
My sweaty feet couldn't take jellies. Even now I have to wear sandals with soft leather or suede soles, otherwise my feet slide everywhere and I turn into a walking hazard.
LeeAndra
04-21-2008, 03:09 PM
Black?! Like amputation black?! SCARY.
Okay, you are allowed to not want to wear them. Everyone else... *fingerwaggle*

I always wanted a pair, but my sensible mom would never buy me any. I'm afraid I'm going to be a sensible mom, as well. Sweaty, stinky feet run in our family, so there's no way either my daughter or I will be wearing those!

my daughter saw a pair in a store the other week and asked for them. Brought back memories for me! I think I'll get her a pair ... I am sure they are much cuter on a 9 year old than on a 31 year old. lol Although I have promised myself that I will buy some Crocs for me this year (Princess got her first pair last year in hot pink).

I love the ones Mandy posted. I wouldn't wear jellies now but I would get them for my kids if they wanted them.
I do remember the blisters though
kscwgirl
04-21-2008, 05:08 PM
I had them too. I hate sweaty feet. I seriously doubt I'll be getting some but I'll have to see if they have any that will fit my daughter's fat feet.......
Amber1279
04-21-2008, 05:27 PM
my pediatrist made me promise to NEVER wear them. I have high arches and I can not wear shoes without arch support.
Plus .... they make your feet sweat -- ewwwe

Guilty! I have a pair--even bought the ones they had out like 2 months ago for the little one--- :) they're adoreable---went on sale and were only 5 bucks!
