A horrified mum has shared pictures of her toddler's badly blistered feet after she claims she wore them for just 10 minutes.
Mum Vikki says daughter Poppy Hallett could not walk properly for two to three weeks after she spotted her "limping" around the house.
The 35-year-old says took the shoes off and was left shocked after seeing the blisters already forming underneath.
Vikki told the Hull Daily Mail : “When I put them on her it was not even hot. It was a cool day and she only wore them in the house.
“She only had them on for ten minutes. Within that time I noticed she started to limp so I took them straight off.
“When I took them off she couldn’t walk on her feet properly for about two or three weeks and she just kept sitting down, so she must have been in pain.
“Underneath her feet it looked like there were blisters. That picture was taken a week after she had them on."
The mum, from Bransholme, Hull, applied Sudocrem to heal the blisters on Poppy’s feet and added aloe vera to keep them moisturised.
She says that when three-year-old Poppy now sees jelly shoes in shops she can no longer stand the sight of them.
“When she sees jelly shoes now she says ‘mummy they are the shoes that hurt my feet’. She can’t stand to look at them anymore.”
Vikki did not take the shoes back to the retailer, opting to just throw them away and not buying them ever again.
She said: “My mind at the time was to get her feet better. You hear all these stories and you believe it will never happen but it does.
“I just threw them away and refused to buy them anymore and told family members to not by her any jelly shoes.”
The story comes after a toddler's feet were left bloodied and blistered in a .
Vikki said in reaction: “I think it is a shame that people are blaming that mum. You learn by these mistakes.
“My daughter will now wear some flip-flop type shoes without socks on but with anything else she does wear socks.
“I don’t think you can blame the supermarkets. It is just a case of being cautious.”
