I think the jelly shoes are hideous, haha. Hard pass. I remember when they were a thing when I was in high school (1984, so I am an Old), and remember that they made my friends’ feet stink. I bought a pair of pearlized cobalt blue classic pointy-toe pumps in Montreal and was so excited to wear them…but they destroyed my feet. I had to wrap my toes and heels in bandaids every time I wore them. And then the heel caps fell off and the cobbler couldn’t repair them. Sorry, a bit of a ramble. 💕Enjoying your back catalogue.

So deeply uncomfortable! They came around again during my childhood in the '90s and they were just so impractical. Thanks for taking a look back through my older pieces!

It’s been fun reading (no obligation to respond, Martin), and catching up. I don’t get much opportunity to talk or read fashion in real life.💕

I never owned these, but Your writing style is so good, I read the whole thing. Now, I know alot about the jelly corner of the cheap shoe space.
