Product & Authenticity

Where are Melissa shoes made?
Melissa shoes are made in Brazil by Grendene, one of the world's largest synthetic footwear manufacturers with over 40 years of experience.
What material are Melissa shoes made from?
Melissa shoes use the brand's own MELFLEX™ material, a fully recyclable, flexible PVC. They contain no animal-derived components and aren't animal-tested — Melissa jelly shoes are certified vegan-friendly by The Original Vegan Society.
Are Melissa shoes sold on melissa.my authentic?
Yes. Melissa Malaysia is the official authorised distributor, and every product on this site or at our listed retail stockists is sourced directly from Melissa in Brazil. To spot counterfeits, check for the bubblegum scent and the Melissa logo with "Made in Brazil" stamped on the sole.
Why do Melissa shoes smell like bubblegum?
Melissa infuses its shoes with a signature bubblegum scent as part of the brand experience. The scent fades gradually over a few months, though it can last longer depending on how the shoes are worn and stored.
Is Melissa related to Ipanema?
They're separate brands. Ipanema is a footwear label also distributed in Malaysia by Enviably Me — the same company behind Melissa — so you'll find both carried by the same retailer, but they're independently designed and sold.
How much do Melissa shoes typically cost?
Prices vary by category: kids' and baby styles start around RM139, flats and slides from RM89, sandals from RM229, and platforms or heels from RM239 to RM350. Designer collaborations are the most expensive, ranging from RM347 up to RM1,429. Most pairs average between RM180 and RM650 depending on style.

Fit, Comfort & Care

Do Melissa jelly shoes stretch over time?
No. Because Melissa shoes are made of PVC, they don't stretch the way leather or fabric does, so it's important to pick your correct size from the start rather than sizing up expecting them to loosen.
Are Melissa shoes comfortable to wear?
Yes, most wearers find Melissa jelly shoes comfortable once sized correctly. Since the material doesn't stretch, getting the right fit up front matters more than with regular shoes — check our size guide before ordering.
Can I wear Melissa shoes in the rain?
Yes. Melissa's MELFLEX™ PVC is naturally waterproof, so the shoes hold up well in rain, at the pool, or on the beach — unlike leather, water won't damage or stain them. Just towel-dry and let them air out afterwards rather than leaving them in direct sun.
Are Melissa shoes safe to wear?
Yes. Melissa shoes are manufactured in compliance with REACH, the EU's regulation on the safe use of chemicals in consumer products, one of the strictest chemical safety standards in the world.
How do I clean and care for Melissa jelly shoes?
Wipe Melissa shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap to clean them. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause discolouration. Full care instructions are printed on the base of the original shoebox.
Do Melissa shoes make your feet sweat?
Because MELFLEX™ PVC doesn't breathe like fabric or leather, some wearers notice their feet feel warmer in hot, humid weather — this is typical of jelly shoes generally, not specific to Melissa. They're best suited to casual, shorter wear or air-conditioned settings if you're prone to sweaty feet.
Do Melissa shoes fit wide feet?
Melissa doesn't currently offer a dedicated wide-fit range, but the flexible PVC has some give around the foot. If you have wider feet, check individual product pages for fit notes from other shoppers, or visit a store to try a pair before buying.
Can Melissa shoes be repaired if they crack or break?
MELFLEX™ PVC is designed to be durable and flexible, but like any material it can crack or show wear over time with heavy use. We don't currently offer a repair service — if your shoes arrive faulty, see our Returns & Exchange policy; general wear and tear isn't covered.
Do Melissa shoes have arch support?
Melissa shoes aren't designed as specialist arch-support or orthopedic footwear the way some dedicated comfort brands are. That said, selected styles feature a soft, cushioned insole for added comfort — check individual product pages for cushioning details on the style you're interested in.

Shipping & Delivery

Is shipping free in Malaysia?
Yes. Orders with a minimum spend of RM250 qualify for free nationwide shipping. Below that, shipping is RM15 for West and East Malaysia.
How long does delivery take within Malaysia?
Orders to Klang Valley typically arrive within 2 to 5 working days of confirmation, while other areas in Malaysia take 3 to 7 working days. Deliveries run Monday to Friday only.
Do you ship internationally from melissa.my?
Yes, we ship to Bangkok, Hong Kong and Singapore for a flat rate of RM30, with delivery taking approximately 15 to 25 working days depending on the destination country.

Returns & Exchanges

Can I return or exchange my order?
Yes. Regular-priced and sale items can be returned or exchanged within 14 days of your order, provided they're unworn, in original condition with tags and packaging intact. Items discounted 50% or more are final sale.
How do I start a return?
Email your invoice number to info.my@envi.me and a customer service representative will respond within 1 to 3 working days to guide you through the process.
How long does a refund take?
Once your return is received and assessed, we issue the refund to your original payment method right away. It can take up to 7 working days for your bank to reflect the funds in your account.
What if my item arrives faulty or incorrect?
Email us your invoice number with photos of the shoebox, price label, and the faulty area. Note that natural swirls or texture variations from the MELFLEX™ production process are a feature of the material, not a fault.

Collections & Restocks

How often does Melissa release new collections?
Melissa releases two major collections a year, Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Styles are rarely repeated, so popular designs sell out fast — sign up for the mailing list for restock and new collection alerts.

Designer & Brand Collaborations

Has Melissa collaborated with other fashion brands and designers?
Yes — Melissa has released designer collaborations since 1983, starting with Jean-Paul Gaultier and later including Vivienne Westwood, Karl Lagerfeld, and Zaha Hadid. Current and recent Malaysia collaborations include GANNI, Susan Fang, Marc Jacobs, Telfar, Viktor & Rolf, Scholl, Bimba y Lola, Jason Wu, and Capetos, alongside licensed character lines like Barbie, Disney, and Hello Kitty and Friends.
Is there a Melissa x GANNI collaboration?

Is there a Melissa x Susan Fang collaboration?
Yes. London-based designer Susan Fang brought her ethereal, nature-inspired aesthetic to three Melissa styles — including a floral ballet flat and a reimagined Possession platform — with a signature gradient effect that fades from opaque to clear.
Is there a Melissa x Hello Kitty collaboration?
Yes. Melissa has partnered with Sanrio's Hello Kitty and Friends on multiple collections since 2018, featuring playful character details across sandals, sneakers, and platforms for both adults and Mini Melissa kids' sizes.

Yes. Melissa's Disney collection features jelly shoes styled around Disney characters and princesses, available across the adult and Mini Melissa kids' ranges.

Is there a Melissa x Viktor & Rolf collaboration?
Yes. Melissa has collaborated with Dutch avant-garde fashion house Viktor & Rolf on jelly shoe designs that reflect the label's bold, conceptual approach.
Is there a Melissa x Jason Wu collaboration?
Yes. Melissa has collaborated with Taiwanese-Canadian designer Jason Wu — best known for designing Michelle Obama's inaugural gowns — on jelly shoe collections that bring his refined, elegant aesthetic to Melissa's silhouettes.

Sizing & Size Charts

What shoe size system does Melissa use?
Our site displays US sizes. If you're used to another system, refer to the comparison chart on our Size Guide page for the equivalent Brazil, EU, inch, and centimetre measurements.
Does Melissa offer half sizes?
No, Melissa shoes don't come in half sizes. If you're between sizes, we recommend visiting a Melissa store in Malaysia so our stylists can help you find the best fit.
Do Melissa shoes run true to size?
Fit feedback varies by style and shopper. Since the jelly material doesn't stretch, check the "Runs Small / True to Size / Runs Large" indicator and size chart on each product page before ordering.
What's the difference between Melissa and Mini Melissa?
Melissa is the adult footwear line, while Mini Melissa is the dedicated kids' and baby range — same MELFLEX™ material and signature bubblegum scent, just sized and styled for younger feet. Shop Mini Melissa under our Kids and Babies categories.
What age is Mini Melissa suitable for?
Mini Melissa spans babies through kids — our Baby range covers the smallest sizes and Kids range continues through older children. Since foot size varies more than age, match your child's foot length to the cm/inch chart on our Size Guide for the most accurate fit.
