We love our sustainable sandals here at Inhabitat, so we were psyched to come upon more styles of cute Melissa shoes ^[5] to help us glide into the sizzling summer months. Melissa’s Brazilian-made Sin Sandal ^[6] is undeniably hot on the style circuit while also being coolly constructed out of totally recyclable, hypoallergenic thermoplastic. A slip on does not get any more comfortable than this, as the Sin Sandal ^[6] custom molds to one’s feet for a comfy leather and rubber free alternative to flip-flop shuffling. We loved Melissa’s sexy red kitten heels ^[5] from earlier in the season, and now the company has created another way for us be environmentally responsible while also living in total Sin!

Melissa ^[7] shoes and sandals are made from MELFLEX plastic ^[8], a patented recyclable and extremely flexible, soft PVC. We love these sandals as an alternative to the season’s must-have gladiator sandal ^[9] as well as their being cruelty free and devoid of animal products. The faux-metallic finish with T-strap thong design also makes them eco-luxe but at an extremely affordable price point. Even better? The Brazilian-based company recycles 99% of its factory water and waste and as well as its season-to-season overstock. Employees are also paid above average wages and benefits in exemplary forward thinking management style. Melissa’s definitely has the eco-friendly Midas touch for footwear that is alchemically timeless!
