Jelly shoes were popular here in the UK last summer though, so they might not look too out of place, especially since these aren't quite the garish glitter jobs that were popular when I was a kid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-on-melissa-jelly-shoes#post-1452897 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 21:35:52 +0000 Anonymous 1452897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased these from 6pm&nbsp;and found them surprisingly comfortable and they are fun.&nbsp;I bought them for casual wear and more specifically instead of sandals for&nbsp;wearing on the lakefront or oceanfront where shoes might get wet. I agree with Echo that the scent really is noticeable and offputting. I didn't know it was part of the manufacturing process and was hoping it would dissipate more.</p> <p></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.google.com/search?q=mel+by+melissa+mel+lime+II&amp;rlz=1C1CHNU_enUS605US605&amp;espv=2&amp;biw=1024&amp;tbm=isch&amp;imgil=UReQZjl_i5ZymM%253A%253B8yZF69WIBFVmEM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252F4salepricenow.com%25252Flow-cost-mel-by-melissa-mel-lime-ii-red-sales-20679.zzz&amp;source=iu&amp;pf=m&amp;fir=UReQZjl_i5ZymM%253A%252C8yZF69WIBFVmEM%252C_&amp;usg=__IiAAGaJZ6zN7Y3Loj9b7pQwLwQo%3D&amp;bih=653&amp;ved=0CDkQyjc&amp;ei=oW_7VP_HKcGANo3wgtgC#imgrc=UReQZjl_i5ZymM%253A%3BJH6G_4Kmo8-C6M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fa1.zassets.com%252Fimages%252Fz%252F2%252F3%252F5%252F2%252F7%252F8%252F2352785-p-MULTIVIEW.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fiairz.biz%252F7083_ugg-lo-pro-short-perf-ii-chestnut-suede-save-price.wsc%3B480%3B360"><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=mel+by+melissa+mel+lime+II&#038;rlz=1C1CHNU_enUS605US605&#038;espv=2&#038;biw=1024&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?.....4&#038;amp</a>;</a></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-on-melissa-jelly-shoes#post-1451972 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 02:42:08 +0000 rachylou 1451972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're cool and fun, but jelly's don't go over so well here for everyday wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-on-melissa-jelly-shoes#post-1451944 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 01:34:17 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1451944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy, I remember jelly shoes from the 80s. I remember mine (I'm sure they were some cheap knock-off brand) being hellishly uncomfortable because they didn't breathe at all and your feet got super-sweaty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-on-melissa-jelly-shoes#post-1451936 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 01:09:37 +0000 Echo 1451936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, LOVE Melissa shoes. Generally speaking, they are SO comfortable, even the heels. I have a pair of heels and a pair of flats and love them both. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair if I find a style I cannot live without. The only issue I have with them is that they have a sort of sickly sweet, almost bubblegum scent that really doesn't want to go away&gt; I know they are intentionally manufactured that way - perhaps to mask the scent of whatever jelly material they use? Still and all, less scent would be better.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have these from the collaboration with Vivienne Westwood. Mine are a purple/blue colour and I have these studded flats in black.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-on-melissa-jelly-shoes#post-1451923 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 00:42:11 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1451923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never tried them, though I know the brilliant woman who brought them to the US. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-on-melissa-jelly-shoes#post-1451920 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 00:39:04 +0000 K.M. 1451920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Melissa shoes are superpopular in Brazil, where I come from. In the last decade or so they've upgraded their jellies with fashion-conscious shoes and collaborations with famous designers (Lagerfeld, Westwood, Jason Wu etc.) </p> <p>I'm wondering what people think of them. Would they be considered weird or cheesy here in the US?</p> <p>Below are some of my favorites from the current collection. The kiddie ones are also adorable ("mini Melissa"). </p> <p>And here's the website (there's a US version of the site: <a href="http://shopmelissa.com/" rel="nofollow">http://shopmelissa.com/</a>)</p> <p>Number 4 was, I think, their first shoe ever, in the 70s! They've "reissued" it. I love the vintage look. </p> <p>For some reason I picture number 2 worn with fun socks. (And also sockless with wideleg linen pants).</p>
