| 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. |

- SWStephanie W.Verified BuyerUsual Size 7.5Size Purchased 8Why I Love It Style, FitSeptember 18, 2023Usual Size 7.5Size Purchased 8Why I Love It Style, FitRated 4 out of 5 starsSuper cute, but!
Okay so these shoes are really cute and the pink color is so fun and bright! However, the shiny material is not as comfortable as the matte jelly material, and the footbed is also stiffer and less comfortable compared to the possession style since it is a foam-like material. The straps rub against my pinky toes on the sides, just enough that I’ll probably only wear these with socks (which is an adorable look so I don’t mind that much! I have a relatively average width foot, not wide feet, and otherwise the sizing feels accurate. It’s just that I wish I could comfortably go barefoot without risk of blisters since these would’ve been great beach sandals).

I really love the sandals! They are as comfortable as Teva sandals, but way more dressy which I love. Will definitely be my go to for summer!

I like the style and color. It fits well, true to size.
My feet are a little narrow, I might have to use a type of sock to protect from friction. Although, I like the style , the colors and comfort.
Most of all the return policy is the best.
