Cleaning + wear tips

Melissa shoes are highly durable and low-maintenance due to their unique MelFlex® PVC material. They are waterproof, scratch-resistant, and do not deform over time.

Wear tips

Melissa shoes should feel comfortable from the first wear, as the material does not stretch, but MelFlex® softens with body heat to gently mold to your foot; socks can help prevent blisters during the first few wears.

Cleaning tips

To keep your shoes looking and smelling their best, wipe with mild soap and a damp cloth, gently scrub stubborn dirt with a soft toothbrush, use a Magic Eraser only on white or light-colored styles, and always air-dry in the shade away from heat, direct sun, car trunks, and washing machines.

Vegan and cruelty-free

Made with vegan and cruelty-free materials.

    Great for walking around!

    Got these before a Europe trip, averaging 10k steps a day for 2 weeks on cobblestone, pretty comfortable! I did get blisters on my heels on the first wear, but after that not at all. With cobblestone I would watch out, if you misstep and your foot slides to the side of the platform, the rubber is just stretchy enough that it hurt , more than tripping in platform sneakers would. The smell was strongest in first few wears, sweet and chemicaly, if sitting in the same spot for a long time. Is less noticeable after that.

    Cute but not very wide

    I have wide feet and these are the cutest sandals, but they are not wide foot friendly. The middle section is very narrow and my foot hangs off the sides. Doesn't bother me enough to return them, because they're cute and comfortable otherwise. Just not wide enough all the way through.
