The Viral Chloé Shoe I Can’t Get Out of My Head

They’ve been called the “most controversial designer shoes,” and truthfully, I can understand why. Still, you can find me in the love camp, and I’m not afraid to admit it. Yes, I’m here to shout from the rooftops that I’m head-over-heels obsessed with the Chloé Jelly Mules.

First seen on the runway at Chloé’s Spring 2026 show, Chloé’s Jelly Mules look like a real-life version of a Barbie shoe—in the best way possible. Following the show, I saw these mystical shoes up close and personal at the brand’s Spring 2026 re-see in Paris.

A Nostalgic Classic, Reimagined by Chloé

While I am, of course, bag-focused at showroom appointments, seeing fresh-off-the-runway items IRL is always exciting, and I stopped in my tracks when I got a full look at Chloé’s jelly heels.

I immediately snapped a photo and mentally filed the shoes for later, only to forget about them until months later when Chloé’s new collection began to drop.

Now, I simply cannot get the shoes out of my head, as every time I turn around, I see yet another viral video oozing the exact energy I’d have if I were unboxing them. Perfectly suited for summer, Chloé’s Jelly Mules are a grown-up take on the jelly shoes we all loved as kids—and I am obsessed (sorry, no, I’m not sorry!)

Combining nostalgia with a chic whimsicality, these are the type of fun shoes I’d wear all summer long! Each time I see them, I feel that same familiar pang of infatuation, and it’s not long before I find myself wandering into Chloé’s Greene Street boutique after a brunch cocktail—or two.

The Summer Shoe I Can’t Stop Thinking About

Arriving in four colors—spearmint, amber brown, ash grey, and blush pink—the shoes are made from transparent TPU, offering the perfect low heel height (2.2 inches), a small peep toe, and a gathered knot detail.

This is the kind of shoe I’d wear with everything from jeans and tees for an effortlessly cool daytime look to more dressed-up outfits for summer nights out.
