Hey everyone, so I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect pair of summer sandals, and you know how picky I am about shoes! I needed something cute, comfortable, and practical for all my summer adventures. Plus, I’ve got bigger feet, so finding a size 11 that doesn’t look like it was made for a giant is always a challenge. That’s why I decided to give jelly sandals a try. I mean, they’re trendy, they come in tons of colors, and they’re waterproof, which is a must for beach days and unexpected rain showers.
First, I started browsing online to see what my options were. I saw a few different styles – some flat, some with a little wedge heel, some with buckles, some slip-on. There were so many choices! I was a little overwhelmed at first, but I narrowed it down to a few brands that seemed to have good reviews and offered size 11.
Then came the hard part – actually trying them on. I ordered a few different pairs online, hoping that at least one of them would fit well and be comfortable. The flat ones that looked like flip flops were just $9.99, and a pair of slip on ones were just $4.99, so cheap! I couldn’t help ordering a few other styles since they were so cheap, like some studded ones for like $14.33 and another pair of PVC jelly sandals for around $13.10. When they arrived, I slipped them on, one by one. Some were too narrow, some were too loose, and some just felt weird on my feet. But then I found them – a pair of simple, black jelly sandals with a comfortable footbed and a cute buckle detail. They were perfect!
The size 11 was just right, and they didn’t make my feet look huge. Plus, they were super comfortable, even after wearing them for a whole day of walking around. They didn’t feel like hard plastic at all, and were super soft and flexible.
- Tip 1: One thing I learned is to be careful about wearing them for long periods on really hot days. Your feet might sweat a lot, and that can cause some serious rubbing and chafing. Ouch!
- Tip 2: If they feel a little tight at first, you can wear thick socks with them to stretch them out a bit. I tried that with one pair that was a little snug, and it worked like a charm.
My Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m really happy with my new jelly sandals. They’re stylish, comfortable, and affordable. If you’re looking for a great pair of summer shoes, I definitely recommend giving them a try. Just make sure you pay attention to the sizing and read the reviews before you buy. And remember my tips about hot weather and stretching them out!
