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.

Eco-friendly material

Made with eco-conscious PVC MelFlex® material.

Recycled material

Made using approximately 30% pre-consumer recycled material.
