Jelly shoes are the latest of the 00s trends to make a comeback, and Georgia Toffolo has found the perfect red pair from Marks and Spencer for her Maldives holiday
Although the resurgence of the 00s trends has been slowly creeping back in for a while now, it seems it has truly hit its peak recently with the return of the jelly shoes. As soon as luxury brands started sending their own versions down the runway, it became official – they’re the shoe of the summer.
And in case you needed any more convincing, former Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo has also been spotted wearing a pair during her trip to the Maldives, where she shared a photo declaring: “Jelly shoes are well and truly back and I’m here for it.” She also shared where to shop her exact pair, with her Jelly Slip On Ballet Pumps being a surprisingly affordable £19.50 pick from Marks & Spencer.

The jelly shoes are the perfect pick for summer, with the mesh design making them breathable and comfortable to wear, as well as meaning you can wear them on the beach without them filling up with sand. The plastic material also means they should be perfectly fine to wear in the water, so you can paddle in the sea or pop them on around the pool without worrying about them getting ruined.
Toff’s Jelly Slip On Ballet Pumps also have the classic ballet flat style that makes them easy to wear with a whole host of different outfits. The flat heel also keeps them comfortable enough to be worn all day long.
Pair them with jeans and a T-shirt for days in the city, or throw them on with your bikini and a sarong (just like Toff) for an afternoon at the beach. You could also pair them with a flowy maxi skirt or a linen co-ord for more casual evenings out.
The M&S Jelly Slip On Ballet Pumps are already selling quickly, with only sizes five, six and seven currently in stock in the red colour. You can however still nab the silvery grey colourway in all sizes from a three to an eight.
If you do want a red pair but have missed out on your size with the M&S pair, you could pick up the Juju Jellies Kris In Red from Schuh instead, which are currently on sale down from £26 to £17.99. Alternatively, nab yourself the £29.99 Jelly Mesh Ballet Flats from Amazon which have been compared favourably to The Row’s designer version by reviewers.
However the Marks & Spencer Jelly Slip On Ballet Pumps have also been getting plenty of positive reviews of their own, with one saying: “Perfect for summer, nice colour, son comfortable and fit well.”
Another agreed: “These jelly shoes are really comfortable. I bought the transparent ones and my granddaughter thinks they are glass slippers! I have popped them on to do the school run .. visit a Nursery.. and have dashed into town. I’m so glad I came across them on the website and am happy to recommend them.”
Some had some minor issues, adding: “Perfect for the beach. Very comfortable. Wouldn’t want to wear them for a lot of walking around as they would make your feet sweat. Feel very light but not much support.”
Others however couldn’t wait to wear them on holiday, writing: “Just what I wanted for the beach and pool side. Very comfortable and light. Flexible will go in back pack luggage easily.”
