Product Information
Full details
The Melissa Possession Ballerina is designed for adult fashion enthusiasts who want to embrace the trending balletcore aesthetic without sacrificing durability. Its primary benefit is the fusion of Melissa's iconic, comfortable PVC weave with a sophisticated, modern ballet flat silhouette, making it an excellent choice for daily wear. One caveat to keep in mind is that the signature PVC material can feel rigid compared to traditional leather shoes, so it may require a short break-in period for optimal comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
Yes, because they are made from high-quality PVC, they are completely water-resistant and easy to rinse off.
Do they provide good arch support?
They offer standard flat support. If you require significant arch support, the interior space allows for the insertion of thin, flat orthotic insoles.
Are the materials used in these shoes vegan?
Yes, all Melissa shoes, including the Possession Ballerina, are made from 100% vegan-friendly, cruelty-free material.
How do I determine if a UK size 8 will fit?
The Melissa Possession fit is generally true to size. If you have wider feet, we recommend sizing up to ensure the weave does not pinch.
Can I wear these for formal occasions?
Absolutely. The black colorway and elegant silhouette make them a polished choice for dinners, events, or office wear.
How do I store the shoes to keep them in shape?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from softening or distorting over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly too tight.
Wear them with thick socks around the house for short periods to gently stretch and break in the material.
Material has a dull finish after storage.
Gently buff the surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to restore the natural sheen of the PVC.
Foot slipping due to moisture.
Use a light dusting of foot powder inside the shoe or pair them with low-cut liners designed for flats.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Water-resistant construction makes them perfect for various weather conditions
- Easy to clean with just a damp cloth
- Lightweight design prevents foot fatigue during long days
- Vegan-friendly and cruelty-free materials
- Classic aesthetic that remains timeless in a wardrobe
Cons
- PVC material can cause sweating in warmer temperatures due to low breathability
- May feel stiff during the first few wears until the material softens
- Limited cushioning compared to dedicated athletic footwear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These flats are ready to wear straight out of the box. For care, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if they get dusty or muddy. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can potentially warp the PVC material. To ensure the best fit, check your foot measurement against standard UK sizing, as the structured nature of the Possession weave is less forgiving than fabric shoes. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up for maximum comfort.
