Ah, the 90s—a time of box TVs, mixtapes, and memories with family and friends on a hot summer day.

The iconic jelly sandals—a staple of any 90s wardrobe—made a triumphant return to the shelves.

This time, these sandals are not just for the little ones.

Available in three colours—clear, watermelon pink, and dark grey—these shoes were designed to let adults relive their childhood with a touch of contemporary style.

Kmart fans shared their excitement and nostalgic glee on social media.

'Finally, jelly sandals. I have been waiting for these,' one shopper exclaimed.

'They are back! I used to wear these religiously when I was little,' another shared

​

The jelly sandals' return has been a part of a larger 90s revival taking the fashion world by storm.

However, not everyone is looking back through rose-coloured glasses.

Some remember the less-than-comfortable aspects of the jelly sandals.

One shopper lamented about 'the sweat and the blisters' after wearing the slippers.

'Every single millennial remembers the blisters from these shoes,' another shared.

Despite these concerns, fans already came up with a stylish solution: pairing the sandals with white socks to avoid discomfort.

This simple fix adds a layer of protection for the feet and tapped into the trend of socks with sandals.

The Fisherman Jelly Sandals have drawn the attention of shoppers, with some heading out to Kmart to grab their pair.

For those who want to bring the jelly sandals experience to their grandchildren, Kmart has similar sandals available in the children's section.

The Junior Jelly Sandals and the Baby Jelly Sandals are available from $8 to $12.

The jelly sandal revival is the perfect opportunity for families, grandparents and grandchildren to share the same outfit staples without breaking the bank.

So, whether you're a 90s kid at heart or someone who wants a quirky addition to your wardrobe, head to your nearest Kmart and get ready to make a splash this summer.

I could imagine that those plastic things would sting your feet in the summer, especially in Queensland with the humidity.

They were everywhere. I didn't wear them.

Might have to take it back to the 70’s

They do cause blisters and irritate toes.

I think they're intended for summer and maybe in wet areas so those purposes would be defeated if they are worn with socks .

I hated them when I was young

 

[Macarj]

When I was a kid late 1950's we had plastic shoes because they were cheap and I hated them

 

[EJMHK]

They looked cheap and were cheap. Thank goodness my mother thought so too and my brother and I did not have to wear them.

 

[Ebby]

Love sandals but not plastic ones but they would be good for protecting your feet in the sea as you don't know what you might stand on

Surely they could've brought back something better than these horrible things.....

 

[Barbara V]

I had a pair for house only. 5 min wonder

But wait... soon we'll hear they're a must-have sensational product. It will only take one 'influencer' who's looking not wearing, and they'll be the newest hot cakes around.

I think these things are as forgetable as Crocs and probably just as just as uncomfortable YUK
