Mary-Kate and Ashley are reviving a trend. After major moments in the ’80s, ’90s, and another in the early 2000s, the controversial jelly shoe has crept back into our hearts and onto our feet. Thanks in large part to The Row’s Mara Rubber Mesh Ballerina Flats—recently worn by none other than Jennifer Lawrence—the immortal shoe style is making a comeback for summer 2024.
It also feels like spring’s still-very-alive mesh flats trend has brought us back to its slightly more adventurous jelly sister. And just like mesh Mary Janes and ballet flats, jelly sandals pair effortlessly with summer dresses, midi skirts, white linen trousers and distressed denim cut-offs.
From chunky fisherman sandals to designer slip-ons from brands like Burberry and Tory Burch, we’ve rounded up our top 10 jelly shoes in a range of shapes and price points. And while sheer styles really embody the jelly trend, we’ve also added a few opaque and matte pairs for a selection of retro-style shoes.
Ancient Greek Sandals Homeria Jelly
With a leather sole and a PVC upper, they are the perfect example of sophisticated footwear for everyday wear.
Bottega Veneta Amy Intreccio Dual Mary Jane ballet flats
Fabulous in orange but also available in cream for a more subtle look.

Burberry slides with rubber charms and stingray pattern
Just as cool in Burberry’s classic check pattern.
Ancient Greek Sandals – wedge sandals
I had to add another pair from Ancient Greek Sandals, which is sold in six bold and neutral color combinations. And if you’re looking for flip-flops, there’s a jelly and leather pair in five colors.
Jeffrey Campbell Jellz Slip On
Also available in white, black and red.
Melissa Possession jelly fisherman sandals
Melissa is a true jelly shoe maker – you can’t have a roundup without a pair. Jennifer Lawrence was recently spotted wearing this exact style too. The queen of jelly shoes meets the queen of jelly shoes.
