Frequently Asked Questions

Melissa shoes are made in Brazil by Grendene, one of the world's largest synthetic footwear manufacturers with over 40 years of experience.

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.

Yes. Melissa Singapore 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.

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.

They're separate brands. Ipanema is a footwear label also distributed in Singapore 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.

Prices vary by category: kids' and baby styles run from about S$29, flats and slides from S$39, sandals from S$65, and platforms or heels from around S$107. Designer collaborations sit at the top, from S$129 up to S$299. Most pairs average between S$75 and S$190 depending on style.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. Orders over S$50 qualify for free local delivery. Orders below that ship for a flat rate of S$6.

Local orders are processed within 3 working days and delivered within 3 to 5 working days after confirmation, via our local courier partner, who will contact you directly to arrange delivery.

Yes, we ship to Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Brunei via our appointed shipping provider, with delivery in 3 to 10 working days depending on destination. Flat rates apply and import duties are the recipient's responsibility.

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.

In-store returns at any Melissa store are free. Returns via courier pickup incur an S$8 fee, which is deducted from your refund amount.

We initiate the refund process the same day we receive your returned item. Banks typically take 7 to 14 business days to reflect the refunded amount in your account.

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.

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.

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.

No, Melissa shoes don't come in half sizes. If you're between sizes, we recommend visiting a Melissa store in Singapore so our stylists can help you find the best fit.

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.

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.

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.
