What was a practical pair of shoes in chewing gum colours in childhood is the latest favourite must-have for adult fashion victims.

We used them to traipse through the non-swimmers' area of the outdoor pool, over lawn sprinkler-wet meadows and generally over hill and dale. Because the good thing about the rubberised bathing shoes, also known as jelly sandals, was that they protected boisterous children's feet from sharp stones, shards and other dangers - and were also waterproof.

In summer 2024, this feeling of safety and light-heartedness will also be available to all over 6s. Away from pools and dripping ice cream scoops. Greek brand Ancient Greek Sandals, for example, is currently one of the most hyped brands on Instagram with its "Jellies". Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's New York luxury label The Row offers a high-priced vinyl version with a leather sole of the childhood shoes in its online shop. Affordable brands such as Mango, Asos and Crocs have long had their answers to the trend shoe ready for the masses.

Do you also like to go on bumpy summer adventures or are you in danger of spilling your drink due to weather-related euphoria? Then these easy-care rubber shoes are just the thing for you.
