Melissa Shoes, Boots, Heels, Pumps and Sandals for Women

Fashioned in Brazil to reflect elegant taste and sophistication, Melissa was the original purveyor of jelly shoes and provided millions of summer sandals to kids and adults in the ’80s and ’90s.

Part of Grendene, a large Brazilian footwear group set up by two brothers in the 1970s, Melissa now caters to a more sophisticated clientele and celebrities by way of elevated, fashion-minded flats, pumps, boots, heels, and shoes.

Vanessa Hudgens wore the brand’s popular ‘Cosmic’ slide sandals ($29.90 at Amazon) while heading to Coffee Commissary in Burbank, California. The 29-year-old ‘High School Musical’ star wore them with stretch-denim McGuire jeans ($238 at Nordstrom) and a graphic cropped tee from Forever 21.
