Sooo comfortable
Better than I imagined! These are so nostalgic, just like the jellies I remember stomping around in on a family vacation to Rosarito, MX as a little 8 year old kid. But the biggest difference is the comfort. The jellies of yesteryear were so damn uncomfortable. They would leave blisters from all the rubbing. These sandals, especially the cushy padded sole are so comfortable and require absolutely no breaking in period. The only negative I’ve noticed so far is the smell. I assumed the scent would be a synthetic smelling one yet I pictured a strawberry shortcake type vibe. These have more of a synthetic grape scent married with a funky foot smell right out of the box. I put them on my dresser still in the box and laid down for a nap with a headache. I could smelll them from across the room. Thankfully the smell has mellowed a bit but still. That scent was a choice. Overall they are definitely more than I’d normally pay for something like this but so comfortable, cute and well worth it. Plus they’re cheaper than the brand website. I already am thinking about which color I want next.

Excellent shoe!
I’m shocked at how comfortable and attractive these are! I was looking for shoes I can wear in tropical rain in Florida that aren’t flip flops; rain boots, even clogs, are way too heavy. These are perfect! I got them in black, and I can wear them with anything and go anywhere in them. They’re light, they’re cushion-y and they fit like a proper shoe. I think they’re true to size. I’m a Euro 41, which is usually considered 10.5, and these in 10 fit me perfectly. Can’t wait to get more colors! ETA: The scent (strawberry candy?) is noticeable but mild, and is fading after only a few days. I could do without it, but it’s not a deal breaker.

Great nostalgic shoes!
These shoes are so cute and perfect for adding a touch of whimsy! They are extremely comfortable too, the footbed has a good amount of support and the plastic straps are soft and not blister-inducing like the old school jellies were. The scent was, um, a choice (it's not the worst smell ever, but I wouldn't quite say I like it), but it has faded significantly after a couple of weeks.

Pure Upgraded Nostalgic Bliss
I love my new translucent jelly sandals! Like other reviewers mention, they do have a very strong smell right out of the box. But other than that, these are pure upgraded nostalgic bliss. I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember jelly sandals being very comfy as a 90s kid. These have a padded sole that makes them really comfortable! Plus they’re great in summer pool/water fun situations! I typically wear between a size 7-7.5 in women’s shoes and I bought a size 7 in these. They fit perfectly and kept my feet cool & comfortable when I wore them to a party right out of the box! And the plastic smell isn’t really noticeable in open air, plus I wouldn’t describe it as a stinky smell.

Representing for the larger feet girlies 11.5 women
I really wish this shoe came in half sizes because I seem to be a true 11.5 in women, so when half sizes are not an option I started going up to a 12 but they have been too big. Size 11s have began to start to hurt and be too short. I bought the clear color and I sized up to a 12 in women, although I can wear it my feet do slide a bit in these shoes. It's ok for minor walking throughout the day and sitting, but if I need to do any fast walking or walking for a long time I couldn't wearing this in a size 12, my feet were sliding a little in the shoe and I needed the ankle strap one notch tighter, I suggest adding atleast one more knotch on all sizes. My feet are narrow and I have slim ankles. Maybe on the 11 the ankle strap would have been tight enough and my feet would not slide as much. The back strap even slipped off my foot as I was walking at a moderate pace a few times. I was considering trying the black shoe in a size 11 since they don't have half sizes, I just don't want any part of my heel to hang off the back of the shoe so I ended up ordering a 12 again in matte beige, black, clear brown, and I think one other color, one color came as a size 13 but it seems to fit very similar to the 12. I haven't walked around in them yet. This shoes is very comfortable and airy, I appreciate that they designed this shoe with a nice cushion in it instead of just the hard gel bottom. I would say I wish the cushion was maybe black so the possible dirt and debris would not make the white cushion dingy over time but maybe it won't take much wiping to maintain the clean white look. This shoe seems to be well constructed to last and of good quality. I have received several compliments on my shoes and gladly point people in the right direction to purchase them. Many have said I brought them back to their childhood of when they wore the jelly shoes as a kid. I didn't know jelly shoes had been around as long as they have. One thing I am concerned about is the smell, when I bought the clear ones lsst summer 2025 I didn't notice a smell but when the other 3 pair came I did notice they had a cute smell that I assumed would go away after being out the box as I didn't read about the smell in the reviews or in the description area. The issue is when you have 3 pairs the smell can be overwhelming, I have them in my closet and I smell them every time I walk in there as I have a Febreze plug in in the wall on strong. I don't know if too much sent was added to these other colors I purchased in Nov/Dec 2025 or what but it makes me a little nervous to wear them out somewhere because I don't know if it will be too strong for others around me. I will probably still wear them out to test them to see but if they are too strong I don't know if there is anything I can do to tone the smell down especially wearing them in the workplace, I'm scared it could turn into a complaint if it's too strong. I will probably up date this review after wearing them out this spring/summer I planned for all of these to be the main shoes I wore everyday. Maybe Melissa can tone the sent down a tad and possibly offer half sizes.

Retro Cool
I absolutely love these jellies. Totally retro and cool (they hearken back to my childhood in the 80s) and are incredibly comfortable. No blisters at all with these...which is good because my feet seem to want to get blisters every time I put on a pair of shoes!

Great confortable shoe but wow, the smell is really bad and strong. I have left outside for a month, covered in bicarb overnight, washed...and it isnt fading even a little. As much as I love the shoe, will be going to someone else. I am not sure if its the small of the material used, or if its been drenched in something. Either way, its unbearable.

Son sandalias completamente de plástico, muy buenas para la playa. Se distinguen por tener un perfume afrutado muy fuerte. son cómodas y ligeras.
