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.

    Gaia shoes

    They are nice very cute but the brown is not chocolate like the picture more caramel color. I was kind of pooped that it wasn’t the chocolate brown but they are nice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Melissa Gaia is comfortable to wear even with the added heel height. The flexible sole and soft materials move with your foot naturally, keeping you comfortable whether you're wearing them for a few hours or a full day out.

Yes, the Melissa Gaia is easier to walk in than you might expect for a heel. The sturdy sole and balanced construction give you a stable stride, making it a great option for those who don't wear heels every day.

The Melissa Gaia fits true to a standard width, so if you have wider feet we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit. As with any heel, a short break-in period will help the materials adjust to the shape of your foot.

No, the Melissa Gaia is designed with smooth, flexible materials that move with your foot to minimize friction and irritation. As with any new shoe, we recommend breaking them in gradually to ensure the most comfortable fit from the start.
