Sainsbury's is selling a pair of £7 jelly sandals that shoppers have described as a "great find" and perfect for slipping into a beach bag. The Jelly Flip Flops, part of the supermarket's TU clothing brand, are available online in red, blue, and black.
Design and Features
Made from PVC and available in sizes three to eight, the sandals feature a light and flexible style that taps into the nostalgic 90s jelly shoe trend. The product description states: "This pair of flip flops are a timeless classic with a fun twist. Made from a retro-inspired jelly material, they're a lightweight and eye-catching winner for your holiday suitcase."
Customer Feedback
The sandals have an average rating of three out of five stars, with mixed opinions on comfort. One reviewer, Sam, noted: "Very narrow so not comfortable for wearing for long periods of time, but good for sticking in a beach bag as they're very light." Another shopper, Debbie, commented: "They look lovely. But, they are very slimline. I don't exactly have fat feet but they were not comfortable. Ended up giving them to my daughter in law who is an ex ballet dancer with long slim feet and she loves them. So just be aware they are quite slim. But overall they are of good quality and look lovely."
However, some customers found them comfortable. One reviewer said: "Managed to pick these up in the sale. So lovely and comfortable. Really looking forward to taking this on holiday. A beautiful colour and at a bargain price." Another, Emmy, added: "I brought these in red. Loved them. Then realised there was a sale on and other colours available so I went straight back ordered the blue and the black. Love that they are jelly shoes! Love the colours and they are so comfy. Totally holiday ready now!"
In contrast, a fifth shopper left a one-star review, stating: "Terrible fit and very thin and hard. Returned."
Trend and Availability
The Sainsbury's jelly sandals reflect a growing trend for nostalgic jelly shoes, with the 90s look coming back into fashion. The supermarket has opted to jump on the trend with a classic flip flop shape. The sandals are available for purchase online at Sainsbury's.
