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.

Made using approximately 30% pre-consumer recycled material.

    Beautifull but with a hard rim

    The edges of the balleria are hard, especially on the back of the foot. I previously got a silicone type (melissa classic) that were so soft. This type (with the velvet coating) has a rim at the top that scratches the back of the ancle. It feels uncomfortable, until the foot gets used to it. This is usually my problem with the ballerinas, but the melissa'silicone one never had this issue..

    Girl's girl

    I love these shoes. I love the velvet, the cushion on the inside, and I love that it has a weight to it. It's so subtle and sweet and makes my outfit girly! <3 I highly recommend it. Size 7 will fit best to a 6.5W fyi

    actually comfortable

    i was convinced to give these flats a try because all the reviews mentioned comfort. i was still wary however, as i've never known a pair of ballerina shoes that doesn't require loads of "breaking in." they always dig into the back of my heel or top of my foot, ultimately causing gnarly blisters first.

    these are the exception. they were comfortable out of the box. cushiony, soft, and moldable even without socks. big recommend!
