Fashion enthusiasts have either been for or against the sandals and have called them too ugly or awful.

The jelly sandals are diverse and they transpire, 70-something years old. The  Méduse-branded version is 75 years old.

As revealed by Elle magazine, the fashion icon, Blake Lively was spotted in the street wearing a brown pair. Although the internet search reveals this same supposed return in 2020, 2019, and 2018, with major luxury brands even surfing on these various waves to offer (very) expensive models. These shoes are often associated with fishing — have much stacked against them, suffering from a rather negative image.

Jelly sandals are go-to footwear for millions of people, young and old, every summer, all around the world. As for style, these shoes do have the power to accessorize any outfit, from pants and shorts to skirts and dresses, whether short or long.
