Ballet flat and jelly shoes really look very nice. Yeah the summer collection varies a lot from year to year . Last year I had purchased a few of them for wife to wear them for festive moods. Nice article.

I’ll third the “happy that Crocs are over” meme

I, too, am glad that Crocs are ‘over.’ However, Crocs are much cuter than gladiator sandals and I’ll be glad when I no longer have to look at them, either. Ladies, I promise not to make comments about your *adjective removed* ballet flats if you promise to burn your gladiator sandals…especially the flat ones.

I can’t say that I will try out the jellies. They’re still too juvenile for me and they have the annoying tendency to make my feet sweat. I am just praying… that I don’t see anymore “Crocs” out there this summer. Jellies are a better alternative as they at least can look semi-cute

Iz - three out of our five picks above (the Jelly Shoe, the Caged Shoes, and the Gladiator Sandals) are made from non-leather materials.

At a designer level, Stella McCartney is known for cruelty-free shoes. She uses a lot of faux leather materials…but the price tags can be pretty steep. You can check out her designs at http://www.stellamccartney.com.

Very nice, Sal. I have to admit - I still wear flats even though I probably shouldn’t…I’m only 5′0″ The allure of the driving mocs is just too much for me.

I still can’t do flats … I just feel so stumpy and awkward! So I’ll skip the ballet flats and the driving mocs. But I’ve got my Melissa jellies, my cage heels, and my gladiators and they’re all in rotation.
