Tretorn Karin rubber wedges

KarinInteresting.  A loafer-like wedge shoe...made of rubber. Very interesting indeed. These would obviously be great for rainy days, but are they a little too kitsch to be fashionable? I just can't decide. We all know Ms Shoewawa is so anti-rubber / jelly that her idea of hell would be nothing but crocs, but what about you? The only normal color that would allow you to pretend you were wearing regular shoes would be the brown. But if you want revel in your rubber footwear, there's pink, yellow, and lime. Interesting indeed.

  • Just got back from buying and there are jelly shoes EVERYWHERE next season. I just cant get my head round it, why why why? the best range was by rubber duck who had toe post jelly shoes with swarovski crystals, but still a no from me.

    Im not being funny, but these seriously should of been ugly shoe of the week! The pink is REVOLTING.. rain or no rain.. I would pick wellies over these anyday! Esp with the wide selection of colourful wellies u can get these days... yes they crease ur trousers at the bottom, but these shoes just look weird!

  • I'd wear them... for a limited time only. They may not be the most fashionable shoes on their own, but they do serve a great rainy day purpose. I am a San Francisco girl who walks absolutely everywhere (even in the rain) in 3 inch heels and long trousers. In the rain you have two options: ruin your pricey heels or stuff your nice trousers into wellies because they are too long to wear with heel-less rain shoes. These are basically heeled rain shoes... perfect for under long trousers on the way to work. Upon arrival I would immediate switch back to my fashionable 3 inch heels.

    The rubber shoe may have the advantage when it comes to durability, water-resistance, and--yes--bounce; however: Did we learn nothing from the Jelly craze days? Does no one wish to remember--or admit--that beneath the addictive cute-appeal of neon-colored, rubber slip-ons lurked a toxic blight of soggy, sweaty feet that smelled like a combination of fermented polyester and neglected pool toys? But apparently Tretorn, who long, long ago made a tennis shoe that was sublimely comfortable for the first three days of wear, is all about rubber. And for good reason: they also make tennis balls! Nevertheless: Where the rubber meets the feet, there must be air--or beware.
