The jelyfish sandals

Written by 

They are the ultimate summer footwear. There are models in all colors and for all tastes.

The plastic sandals appeared only after the Second World War, for obvious reasons, there was a severe shortage of raw materials, especially leather. There then arose the first models manufactured by a man named Jean Dauphant in 1946. According to legend, its creation was inspired in the sandals from local fishermen, who he reproduced in his plastics factory in Les Sarraix, Auvergne. The sarraiziene are designed for maritime hobby and leisure, meaning that they are plastic, flexible and without insoles, making them perfect for walking along the sea without damage. Remember when our mothers bought these sandals to walk on the stones, so we won't get hurt? I think is part of the childhood memories of many girls, as I they associate then with summer, vacation and beach. Well, after 64 years of that event, the plastic sandals which however fell into disuse and were considered by many to corny, this year are back into the spotlight, as a fashion icon in the international catwalks. The designers for the market launch several models in the stores that made wrath, more specifically with the female audience. The traditional model, called Medusa, transparent, despite the vicissitudes, remains as current as in 40 years ago. Currently, there are colors to suit all tastes, all shapes of feet and mothers continue to find practical, affordable and very fashionable these types of shoes for the little ones in the summer. And against the facts, no arguments.
