Jelly shoes are back

I'm too cheap to spend 12 Euro on an express airport roundtrip, so I took the bog standard bus with the rest of the Joe Schmoes. It was a lot cheaper but went all the way around the houses, so I bought a magazine to pass the time.

I used to be addicted to those large glossy magazines but I broke the habit when they became really expensive and I copped that they are mostly ads. Until today I hadn't read one in about six months.

So I was pleasantly surprised to discover a one-page feature on jelly shoes! Apparently they are back in fashion this season. I remember joking about jelly shoes with a friend a few months ago, predicting a huge comeback for the plastic sandals that I wore to the beach as a kid. They did a fantastic job of protecting my feet from the rocks, but they also made them a little sweaty and slimy.

And now adults can enjoy these practical and attractive shoes in 2007. Who cares about sweaty slimy feet when you're fashionable?
