FAQs

What is the primary material used for the Melissa Possession Ballerina?

The shoes are made from Melissa's proprietary Melflex material, a type of PVC known for its flexibility, durability, and distinctive scent.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the product sizing chart provided by the retailer. Generally, Melissa shoes run true to size, but checking your foot measurement against their guide is recommended.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While the Melflex material is water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy downpours is not recommended.

Can I wear socks with these ballet flats?

These ballet flats are designed to be worn without socks for a classic look. However, if you prefer wearing thin liner socks, they may fit, but it could alter the intended snug fit.

What is the main difference between this and the original Possession sandal?

The Possession Ballerina is a reinterpretation of the iconic Possession weave into a closed-toe ballet flat silhouette, whereas the original Possession is typically an open-toe sandal.

Do they have arch support?

Melissa shoes generally offer a comfortable footbed but do not typically feature significant built-in arch support. They are designed for style and everyday comfort.

How long does the distinctive Melissa scent typically last?

The unique scent is a characteristic of the Melflex material and tends to fade over time with wear. It is most noticeable when the shoes are new.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

Melissa shoes made from Melflex material often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations at home until they mold to your feet.

Uneven color or slight marks on the weave

This can sometimes occur with the molding process. Try gently wiping with a damp cloth. Minor variations are inherent to the material.

Slight squeaking sound when walking

This can happen with new Melflex shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a specialized shoe lubricant inside the shoe where the rubbing occurs.

Difficulty removing shoes

Ensure feet are completely dry. If needed, a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe can help reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Melissa Possession Ballerina requires no assembly. Simply remove from packaging and wear.

Compatibility: These ballet flats are designed for adult women and are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
  2. Drying: Never dry near direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers) as this can damage the material. Air dry at room temperature.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect the weave from dust and potential damage.
