Melissa shoes are made in Brazil by a company that is innovative in plastic as well as eco-friendly. The shoes are recyclable, and any un-sellable shoes are melted into new styles. 99% of their industrial residues are recycled, such as painting residues, production water and pvc.
Melissa has many followers... once you have one pair you can't stop collecting them! They're made of a patented plastic "Mel-flex", which eliminates toxic plastic smells. Instead they have a tutti frutti scent!
