Even&Odd jelly shoes (bathing shoes).
Even&Odd bathing shoes/jelly shoes from Zalando.
On Saturday I picked up these bathing shoes/jelly shoes from the post office.
Me and my Mom are going to Rhodes in some weeks and unfortunately the beach there is rocky so it's not a sandy beach. I actually prefer to swim in a pool over swimming at a beach but my Mom wants to go to the beach too and we obviously don't want to walk around on the rocks with our bare feet so that's why I had to order a pair of bathing shoes.
I've seen that these shoes are also called “jelly shoes” and that people wear them as sandals. My Mom also said that she thinks I've had shoes like these when I was little and I remember seeing shoes like these when I was younger but now I haven't seen in them in any stores in many years. But it seems like they're back again.
The shoes were available in some different colors and I chose between black and seethrough with glitter. But I obviously decided on black because it looked the most classic and it will work with anything and everything, I know that I'll never get tired of the color and I think they look more like normal sandals than the see-through with glitter did and I really like that they do look like sandals. Otherwise I would have had to order those real bathing shoes which are usually made of some kind of fabric and I don't like the look of them at all, they certainly don't look like any real shoes because they just don't look good no matter what color they are.
I will wear these shoes as bathing shoes/flip flops and maybe around the hotel or if I'm just going to go somewhere quick. I probably wouldn't wear them as real sandals though because they're a bit flat and my feet would probably hurt if I'm going to walk for a while and it's bad for your feet anyway to walk longer distances in flat shoes.
UPDATE 2018: These shoes broke after 1 day on my Greece 2018 trip, when I had just used them for my Greece 2015 trip before, so I would not recommend these shoes in particular and be careful with similar shoes like these.
