About JuJu Shoes

At JuJu Footwear we are very proud to call ourselves the creators of the original British Jelly Shoe.  We have been manufacturing iconic PVC sandals and children's wellington boots in our Northampton factory for over 30 years.

JuJu is a family run business founded by Peter  Rushton and Richard Ablett in 1986. The business has its roots in supplying injection moulded products to the shoe trade. JuJu then pioneered the production of injection moulded sandals in the UK. These were soon nicknamed "Jelly Shoes" due to their soft jelly like finish and became a fashion and seaside favourite. JuJu is still based in the same factory in Northampton ‘The footwear capital of the UK’.

Style, Versatility & Colour

JuJu jelly shoes are still made with the original manufacturing methods, in the same factory and to the highest standards and quality as the very first day they were made.

 JuJu Shoes are all about style, versatility and colour. JuJu love to follow the current trends putting contemporary twists on their classic designs. We are also passionate about producing new fun and functional designs to suit the modern market in both adults and childrenswear. We have successfully collaborated with well known designers creating unique and innovative styles.
