Criteria Used for Evaluation
Style
Style is determined by the design's versatility, cut, and pattern, among other things.
With most shoes, the main question that you’ll find yourself asking is whether or not it is stylish. Will it make you look cool when you go out and decide to rock it with your favorite outfit? Or will it make you look uncool if you go out and try to rock it with your favorite outfit?
Knowing that this runs through many individuals' minds when they’re shopping, it became a necessity for us to make sure that the style was considered in this guide of Jellypop shoes. Several things go into actually evaluating the stylishness of a particular option though. Let's look at them below.
Versatility: While this may seem strange, versatility is a rather important thing to take into consideration. Whether or not the design has the ability to be worn during various situations and without a need for adapting the outfit to fit it in any way is particularly important.
Take, for example, a simple pair of wedges. They have a very versatile design that could be applied to a multitude of situations and outfits. For this reason, it makes a lot of sense to purchase them simply because they add value to one’s wardrobe.
Cut: The cut of a shoe has a definite influence on the stylishness that it has. In today’s age, the trend shifts more towards slimmer designs rather than the bulky ones that were most prevalent a few years ago; that’s just the way things have been in recent years. With that being said, not all bulky designs are out of style; people just tend to gravitate more towards the thinner models.
Pattern: A shoe’s pattern, it’s graphic design, whatever you like to call it, can also influence its wearability or style. A question that must be asked in this regard is, “Does this pattern make it come across as garish?" Or “Can I adopt this pair of shoes to fit the needs of various outfits?”.
Durability
Look for solid stitching and high-quality materials such as genuine leathers to make sure your new footwear is durable.
No one likes to purchase footwear that falls apart after only a few months or weeks of wearing it. No one likes to purchase footwear that looks to be cheaply made, even if it isn't. For this very reason, the Jellypop shoes on this list were reviewed for their quality makes and providing their wearers with what they’d need in terms of longevity.
Stitching:
Many don’t notice this but, the way that a design is stitched is incredibly important. If a shoe has loose stitching, then it is very likely that it will easily come apart and won’t provide one with very much value.
The visibility of the stitching is also incredibly important; no one wants a pair that has stitching that’s made visible to every individual who sees the footwear. With that being said, it’s incredibly important to pay attention to the way that a design is pieced together; this is a great indication of how much care goes into the creation of a brand's footwear.
Materials:
Another thing that is a great signal of how much care goes into producing footwear are the materials that the shoe is made from.
Footwear constructed from high-grade materials such as leather, suede and similar is incredibly durable, especially if the leather is layered thickly. With a bit of care and maintenance, leather footwear can last you for years!
On the other hand, thin, lightweight materials such as canvas, mesh and textiles are not as durable. They might hold up well for a couple of seasons, but they don't have the jaw-dropping longevity that genuine leathers come with. Similarly, synthetic leathers may leave some things to be desired, in terms of durability. They can crack or flake easily, and are generally not as long-lasting as genuine leathers.
Comfort
A cushioned footbed and arch support help increase the comfort levels of a design.
While stylish footwear that lasts long is certainly a benefit, both style and durability don't matter much if you find that you can't wear your new shoes. No one enjoys the feeling of being pinched, poked or of their skin painfully rubbing against the sides of the shoe. This is why comfort is one of the imperative criteria that we chose to rank the Jellypop shoes by.
Here are a couple of things you should consider when it comes to comfort.
Footbed:
All readers should know is that a shoe without adequate cushioning in its footbed can cause quite a lot of pain. No one likes to wear shoes without proper padding in its footbed. For that very reason, the Jellypop designs featured on this list all make use of some type of EVA padding in their insoles. EVA is a material that has exceptional shock-absorbing qualities, that will make you feel comfortably cradled in your footwear but won't be too soft.
Arch Support: While not absolutely essential, arch support is important if you find yourself standing or walking for longer periods of time. It will keep your arches lifted and your foot won't be feeling too much pressure no matter what activity you're engaging in. Finally, arch support reduces foot fatigue at the end of the day, making you feel fresh and energized even when you come home.
Breathability
Proper airflow is important to reduce the chance of sweating, especially during summer.
To have a design that doesn’t cause your feet to feel as if they're trapped in a sauna is everyone’s desire. No one likes to feel as if they are slowly being bogged down by sweat. This is the main reason why adequate ventilation is so important.
Ventilation allows one to have what they need in terms of breathability, while still protecting them and providing support at the same time. It allows the air to flow in and out of the design and reduces the chance of sweating, as well as of developing unpleasant odors.
Jellypop shoes have certainly made several styles and options that meet this criterion, from sandals to lighter weight uppers like canvas that can control ventilation inside the shoe.
When you're looking for your next pair of shoes, consider for which season you're shopping for. All types of footwear should have ample breathability, but the emphasis on this is particularly important when summer rolls around. Summer footwear should have maximum breathability, while winter footwear should have more coverage or insulation. You'll find both of these options here on our list of the top Jellypop designs.
Value
Consider how wearable the option that caught your eye is, and whether or not it is worth the purchase.
Since we're talking about footwear all made by the same brand, all made from a very similar combination of materials and all belonging to pretty much the same price range - how can we possibly distinguish which designs are higher in value and which ones aren't? What makes one option more worth the purchase than another?
Well, since we're talking about more or less the same level of quality - after all, Jellypop shoes strives to make all of their customers happy, regardless of what design they're buying - we have to focus on the one thing that determines whether or not you'll be satisfied with your new shoes: wearability.
Wearability is, quite simply, the measure of how easily and how often you can wear your footwear. It is affected by a myriad of other factors, such as comfort, style, how much you like the design, versatility and much more.
The reasoning is this: if the shoe is comfortable, you will wear it often. If it is stylish and this style works with many outfits in your wardrobe - regardless of where you're heading - then you will wear it often. If you like the footwear, you will wear it often.
If you wear the design often, it is definitely worth the purchase.
Our Favorites
1. Tahoe
If you’re looking for an extravagant wedge sandal for your new shoe, don’t neglect to check the Tahoe out. These sandals have a design that features a wedge heel. The wedge in the heel provides you with a boost in height and a boost in confidence. If you’ve ever worn a pair of heels, you probably understand the height that an elevated heel can allow one to have. With that being said, the wedge heel in this design is one of the things that qualified these sandals for this list. The other was the use of a memory foam sock liner.
The elevated heel used in the design of these beautiful sandals is a saving grace for many individuals. For someone who would like to add a little bit of additional height to their frame, these allow them to do so without having to suffer through hours and hours of pain. The heel also allows these shoes to incorporate a bit of class into your summer outfits.
As you probably know, not many heeled footwear has designs that allow it to be worn for prolonged periods. Typically, heels can only be worn for 1-3 hours before they start becoming uncomfortable. The good thing about the design of these is that they aren’t incredibly uncomfortable because they have a memory foam liner. For those who don’t know, memory foam is a technology that is meant to provide the same high level of comfort each time that memory foam footwear is worn.
2. Koi
Here’s yet another chunky heel sandal for you, the Koi. The design of this particular sandal definitely varies from that which individuals are generally familiar with. This sandal is suited more for relaxing events, thanks to its perforated upper, peep-toe front and an open back, as well as a blocky heel that keeps you steady. They made the list because of their textile upper and their boho-chic design.
The upper on the Koi is bright and is meant to stand out wherever one decides to wear them. Whether that’s to the beach, or around the town, these sandals will be noticed. The textile used to create the upper shines and blends in with whatever outfit you choose to wear them with; this allows the Koi to be a wonderful choice for anyone who doesn’t mind standing out in a crowd.
A lot of the sandals that have been designed recently feature closures. Of course, these sandals work wonders for those who would like to feel secure but, what about people who like to easily kick their sandals off? Well, this brand just has a habit of keeping their patrons in the back of their minds and thus they designed a pair of sandals that can be easily removed and not restricting one’s feet.
3. Adelie
The Jellypop Adelie brings together that free-feeling we love about the brand, with a stylish and comfortable cork wedge sandal. The Adelie is a pair versatile enough for hot summer nights out on the town, or even for work attire. It has a stylish upper that brings together the comfort of textile, making it breathable and lighter in weight, as well as a fashionable design that cages the foot. We think once you try this pair, you’ll fall in love with it instantly!
The uppers on the Adelie are textile canvas, keeping them soft and breathable when wearing, as well as making them easy to clean should you happen to get them dirty. The upper cages the foot in a honeycomb design, with an open peep toe and open heel. The soft ankle strap closes with a buckle so you can find that perfect fit. A comfort sock lining also helps give this pair a softer on-foot feel for periods of extended wear.
At the base of this design is a synthetic patterned sole, which has a textured tread to help keep you stable on slick surfaces. The Adelie has a 3.5 heel, with a 1-inch platform to give you ample height, all atop a cork outsole. This helps the wedge stay cushioned and comfortable, absorbing impact with each footfall. It’s a great Jellypop design for your collection of summertime footwear!
4. Dallas
The Jellypop Dallas is another design that has all of the makings of a shoe that will provide you with all that you need to comfortably walk around where you'd like. This Jellypop option is meant to be incredibly versatile. This is one of the reasons why it comes with such a basic silhouette; it can be worn with various outfits and for several different occasions. The reasons why this casual sneaker made the list are relatively obvious: they have a sleek cut and are incredibly versatile - two things that you need to make your days complete.
The design of the Jellypop Dallas is one that will make sure you have a laid-back, relaxed option for any look you decide to go for. With the Dallas, Jellypop focused more on functionality and wearability and oped not to add various embellishments to the design. The lack of graphics in the shoe's design as well as the fact that it has an almost “ambiguous” shape, allows it to be worn for casual and leisure purposes.
The cut of the Dallas sneaker is one that very closely resembles that of a Chuck Taylor or some other trainer. As we all probably know, Chuck Taylors can be worn for various events and are considered stylish all by themselves.
Minimalist footwear tends to have an easy time of being paired with other outfits and be considered stylish. Much like the various other simple designs on the market, the Jellypop Dallas provides wearers with what they’d need in various respects and allows you to experiment with your style as much as you want.
5. Sareen
The Sareen boot was placed onto this list for obvious reasons; it has a design that is both versatile and incredibly unique. When the word unique is used in the description of this boot, it doesn’t just refer to its inherent stylishness, it refers to this boot’s ability to provide its wearers all that they’d need in terms of style, and it’s doing so through the use of various stylistic elements. In addition to the incredibly unique design, the Sareen also has various features that allow it to provide stability - namely a low, chunky heel that won't let you lose your balance.
One of the great things about having an ankle boot is that it’s bound to provide you with all that you’d need in terms of stability. Well, not always but, at least the design of the Sareen will for sure. Jellypop gave this boot a design that makes use of various loops for a stable platform during their period in use. The use of interlocking straps along the sides of the boot, as well as thick materials incorporated into the design, allow this boot to be incredibly secure during wear.
We’ve already established that Jellypop is a brand that goes out of its way to make clothing and footwear that stands out. The design of these boots, however, goes completely outside of the realm of what is typically produced by Jellypop shoes. The use of chains and various interlocking straps in the Sareen allows it to stand out and provide wearers with a unique level of style.
6. Maddie
Talk about a unique and stylish look! The Maddie combines an upscale moccasin feel with a strappy and feminine closure around the ankle for a jaw-dropping look. It has the tiniest bit of heel for a little elevation and comfort for walking. The design alone inspires us for pairing it with flowy dresses or layered boho style looks, but it’s versatile enough to wear to the office or just with shorts to hang out with friends. It’s a great look to add to your footwear collection!
This pair of Jellypop flats have a unique closure to it. A suede upper is cinched together with a long suede lace-up. It loops at the toe, then crisscrosses up the top of the foot to around the ankle for a dainty feminine feel. Laces are soft and won't irritate the skin of the foot either, so you can rest assured walking in these won’t be painful due to its design. A pointed toe elevates the style to give it sophistication and elegance, while a synthetic sole helps give some grip and traction on surfaces.
The Maddie appreciates the ease of use in their design as well. A zipper closure resides on the heel for an easy on, easy off experience, so you won’t have to constantly lace up the vamp for your perfect fit! It also has a lightly padded footbed for a pleasant experience during wear, giving you the best on-foot feeling in a light, soft summer flat.
7. Lennon
Another ballet flat option from the brand, the Lennon is a cute, basic little flat that could quite well become one of your go-to pairs for daily wear. A synthetic upper gives the Lennon a suede-like appearance, and it has a stylish design with a twisted knot that lays at the toe box. It comes in a few different color options as well, so you can certainly find one pairable with your wardrobe. If you’re in search of an option that is causal, fun, and easy to wear, the Lennon could just be it for you!
The inside of this design has been made for comfort. A cushioned footbed provides a softer on-foot feel and has a cute upper inlay of plaid fabric for a pop of style, as well as comfort. The rounded toe box on the Lennon is perfect for those with wider feet, as it creates enough room for your toes just by its design. A twisted knot tops off the casual comfortable look of the Lennon, giving it just enough style for everyday fashion and appeal.
The outsole and base of the Lennon are patterned for traction, with a cute fun design to help you stay upright even on slippery surfaces. Memory foam lines the inside, helping keep your feet cushioned and comfortable all day long. This pair is perfect for someone looking for a daily go-to pair they can wear for casual day events or errand running. We hope this one finds its way into your closet and your heart!
8. Rhodes
Who doesn’t love a cute, comfortable ballet flat? It’s a style of footwear that can be comfortable all day long when made with the right elements, and the Rhodes certainly has them all! The Rhodes ballet flat has a textile upper with a lace overlay pattern, which makes them extremely breathable and gives them a light feel during wear. It’s a very feminine pair of flats, as the lace creates a pleasingly soft appearance, but also stylish enough for both casual or formal occasions.
The textile uppers of the Rhodes make this pair breathable and lightweight. With its softer lace overlay, it adds an air of sophistication and femininity to the flat. With a couple of different neutral color options available, you can find one or two suitable for your entire wardrobe. We love the look of this design when paired with softer flowy skirts or pants, keeping that boho feel present in your ensemble.
A synthetic sole at the base of the Rhodes is slightly textured to provide some extra grip. The soft sockliner inside this flat helps to give it a wonderful on-foot feel, while a softer collar helps to prevent any rubbing or discomfort when standing or walking for longer periods of time. A rounded toe allows for more room in the toe box, so you can step out in comfort to your next event or office meeting.
9. Indy
The Indy is an interesting looking flat if we ever did see one. It has a design that looks somewhat native but is meant to be so. For instance, the upper is designed from calf-leather material that looks to be handmade; it appears that great care was taken in piecing these shoes together. In addition to that, the design has a flat look with a rather minimal heel; this allows them to be extremely comfortable and versatile. These features are what made the Indy qualify to be placed in our guide and will be discussed in further detail below.
The exterior of these flats is downright attractive. They are constructed from leather material and have a single seam that flows right down the middle. The lack of various other seams in the design allows them to be worn for extended periods and reduces the chance of you having an uncomfortable experience while in the shoes. The leather design gives the Indy a weathered look that makes them seem as though they are well-worn and well-loved.
Many flats typically have a flat insole; nothing to give you any additional cushioning. Thankfully, the brand noticed this design flaw and decided to do something a bit differently. The design of the Indy features a memory foam insole that conforms quite easily to the underfoot and provides adequate comfort to every step you take while in these flats. If you don’t understand what this does for the actual user-experience, try walking around in a pair of bricks and then move to this pair of flats; you’re going to notice the difference.
10. Isa
Okay, so have you ever heard of the typical ballet flat? If so, then this beautiful design will remind you of something. The Isa by Jellypop has a design that very closely resembles a ballet flat (probably because that’s what it’s designed after); it can be worn for ballet activities or like some people choose to do, can be paired with outfits. It’s completely up to you. This option made this list because of the grip incorporated into its outsole, as well as the details that the upper has.
The upper of the Isa is beautiful. It has a design that incorporates the usual knotted twist which allows it to be worn for various occasions without worry. The bow in the forefoot area of the Isa is what gives it a feminine, elegant look that will match a day at the office, or a fun time out with your friends. The flat’s upper is one that can be fit in with several different outfits effortlessly.
The design of the outsole in the Isa is relatively thick and is made from an abrasive rubber material that allows it to provide adequate grip. Also, this Jellypop option has a raised pattern that delivers traction which you will need to keep your footing on slippery surfaces. The Isa is an option you can pair with a pantsuit for an office meeting or with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a tee if you are all about a stylish yet relaxed weekend day outside.
