I’ll take all four colorways, thank you very much.

I am a loud-and-proud outfit repeater. Trends move at lightning speed; why wouldn’t I wear my fave shoes, jacket, or mini skirt into the ground—or until the trend cycle inevitably spits it back out, whichever comes first? God forbid a girl actually gets her money’s worth.
The summer shoes I’m using as the perfect excuse to double down on that philosophy? Jelly flip-flop kitten heels. In case you missed the memo—or, ahem, Chloé Spring-Summer Paris Runway Show—the casual yet versatile style is the season’s hottest shoe. And it makes sense: Jelly shoes and flip-flops are each having a moment in their own right, so together!? A match made in heaven. Case in point:
Take Steve Madden’s Tracie Sandal, for example, which I reach for at least three times a week. I’ve styled my pop-of-orange pair with white jeans, sundresses, mini skirts, you name it, and they somehow manage to always elevate the look—shoutout to the petite kitten heel and chic square-toe silhouette for that. Oh, and while the barely-there straps come off as see-through, the design isn’t flimsy in the slightest. They’re actually surprisingly sturdy for something so lightweight, even the most vehement anti-outfit repeaters will be slipping ‘em on for back-to-back occasions.
Bonus points? They’re buy one, get one free right this week at DSW, which means you can snag the comfy, trending style in two colorways for just $60.
I’m not the only one getting click-happy with the “add to cart” button, either. “ADORE! These are the cutest. I wore them day 1 out of the box and received compliments all day long, really,” one shopper commented. “They are comfortable, and the pink jelly is so much fun, [and] they elongate my legs.”
“Loving the style, color, quality, and comfort of it. I can see myself rocking different colors in them,” another chimed in, while others added that they’d “buy every [shade]” of this “perfect summer kitten heel!!”
Personally? I’m adding the pink and tortoiseshell styles to my own collection. You should probably go ahead and do the same (plus, the orange pair I already own and love!).
The chic styles don’t stop there, either:
