The 24 best jelly sandals that will heal your inner child this summer

If you want to go the traditional route, these jelly sandals from Melissa are the easiest choice. They're just too classic, too cute and too perfect. And the blue color is giving Limited Too and Justice in the best way. 

OK, Lizzie and Miranda definitely owned these orange platform shoes — in both 2002 and 2023.

Doc Martens are always a good choice. These Doc jelly sandals are perfect if you're not ready to go full jelly, just a lil jelly.

Remember Floatie Feet? Yeah, these are basically the updated version of them with a more elevated trendy square toe and jelly sandal twist.

I am seriously in love with these jelly sandal stilettos. Are they practical? Who knows! But they're definitely a chic surprise that add a statement to any and every outfit.

I have not been able to stop thinking about these Tory Burch jelly slides since I first saw them. The sporty look comes in so many different colors (seriously, so many) and is the perfect grown-up update to the iconic jelly look.

Amazon also low-key has the best affordable alternative to the Tory Burch jelly slides for basically $100 less than the sale price.

Solid jelly sandal colors are great, but how could you pass up the silver glitter when it's literally right there?

Actually, this classic fisherman jelly sandal also looks so, so good in acid green.

The brown color of these heeled slides is super sleek without taking away the jelly sandal feel.

We love a "go big or go home" moment, just like the mountain of pearls on these jelly slides.

I mean, CROCS are back in style. If we're talking about going big or going home, this is probably the biggest go big or go home moment. Honestly, they're super fun.

Or just go straight for the classic CROCS in this pink glitter combo. Like, why not?

Remember when you used to slip your feet into these babies and feel like a Disney princess? You can still do that!

Want a few more inches? Just add a platform, and your favorite shoes are immediately fancified.

If you want to really lean into campy Barbiecore this summer, then you need a pair of pink platform mules that go with every single outfit. Someone needs to wear these to a semi-formal summer wedding and report back!

Speaking of Barbiecore, these jelly sandals are so similar to the pricier Birkenstock Arizona EVA sandals that everyone's obsessed with. With a 4.2 out of 5 stars rating based on nearly 60,000 Amazon reviews, you can trust that these slides are legit. Oh, and they come in 55 different colors, which is just wild.

Wait, how adorable are these Katy Perry jelly sandals? They come in so many fun styles, including a butterfly, gingerbread man, orange rainbow, cactus and the lime pictured above.

The jelly fisherman style with a designer twist. An iconic shoe with an iconic logo! Plus, Coach sandals are some of the most comfortable sandals out there.

These simple Sam Edelman slides are just subtle enough in their jelly-ness if you want to keep it more low-key. You can snag them in multiple colors, but the black is just so chic.

A pair of simple, sleek white slides are key for any summer look.

Yes, she's a splurge. But these black Valentino pairs are the perfect mix of edgy and delicate that I couldn't *not* add them to the list.

Oooh, this blue is so calming.

If you were still skeptical that jelly sandals can be going out shoes, this is your proof right here! The sky-high platform heel dresses it up while still keeping the essence of the jelly life alive.
