Wikipedia defines Jelly Shoes as “Jelly shoes or jellies are shoes made of PVC plastic. …”

The Glow Brand high heel shoes are actually made of TPU, so while not strictly PVC or plastic, they do fall into the same “synthetics” category hence are also "Jelly Shoes" per the definition.

When our entrepreneurial company first started looking into the high heel design, it was very important for us that the pump shoe form should also represent our business ethics. This means that we paid particular attention to what the stiletto heels were made of. Below is a material comparison between TPU and PVC to help show what is in our vegan pumps. You will see that TPU is a much higher grade material, better for the environment and extremely comfortable and safe to wear.

TPU -> The Glow Brand base material

  • Abrasion resistant
  • Physical strength and elasticity
  • High mechanical performance
  • Will not harden over time
  • Higher cost than PVC
  • Breathable and odourless
  • Low temperature resistant
  • Can have flame retardants added
  • Used in medical products
  • More environmentally friendly and can be recycled

PVC -> Competitors

  • Can crack over time
  • Strength and elasticity degrade over time
  • Will harden and discolour over time
  • Lower cost than TPU
  • Odour
  • Will crack at low temperatures but out performs TPU at high temperatures
  • Contains more dangerous chemicals including halogen, plasticizer, phthalates which may have serious health consequences
  • Flame retardant although it gives off dangerous smoke
  • Used in medical products
  • As PVC degrades the chemical bonds will be broken and dangerous gasses will be released along with corrosive acids
