Pescura Heel x Scholl
The Melissa Pescura Heel + Scholl reimagines the iconic Pescura through a modern, fashion forward lens. This collaboration blends Scholl’s heritage of ergonomic comfort with Melissa’s innovative design language, resulting in a silhouette that feels both timeless and refreshingly current. Contemporary colours, refined finishes, and sculptural details elevate the classic shape, while maintaining the practicality and support the Pescura is known for. Elegant, versatile, and effortlessly comfortable, it’s the perfect fusion of functionality and style for everyday wear.
We are proud that our shoes are and always will be vegan with Melissa’s commitment to be cruelty free in 2017. Our products will never be tested on animals and contain no components of animal origin, as registered by the Vegan Society.
We create shoes you’ll not only love, you’ll love for a long time. Our main raw material, MelFlex, is a resilient kind of PVC made with Melissa’s own technology.
The simplicity of our materials keeps us one step ahead of the footwear industry, where traditionally the complex mix of different components have been challenging to clean and reuse or disassemble and recycle. MelFlex is a durable plastic that can be in use for many years before being recycled when returned to our specialist partners.
Our factories are powered by renewable energy.
Melissa’s have been made using 100% renewable energy since 2018. Through the purchase of renewable energy certificates covering our electricity use, we have helped to reduce the carbon emissions of our manufacturing processes.
We are investing in greener infrastructure at our factories, too. For example, we have installed a Solar Power Plant at our factory in Sobral. Furthermore, in 2023, we will install over 4,000 panels at the new Crato factory, which will account for 34% of self-generated energy. The panels will also contribute to the thermal comfort of our employees.
By adding these solar panels to the roof, 2.5% of the average annual energy used to create our shoes is now powered directly by the Brazilian sunshine.
On our way to zero-waste excellence.
As part of our commitment to eco-friendly production, every piece of plastic left over from the creation of the shoes returns to the beginning of the process so that, on average, 30% of each shoe is made from this recycled factory waste.
But we don’t stop there: in 2022, 90% of our total waste was reincorporated in the production (so did not go to a landfill), and we are committed to becoming a zero-waste business where all our trash is treasured.
By example, we reuse leftover food and other organic materials to generate cooking gas and fertilizer.

Melissa x Scholl: Two Icons, One Vision
Heritage Reimagined. Comfort Redefined.
We are thrilled to unveil our latest collaboration. Melissa has joined forces with Scholl, the heritage footwear brand synonymous with orthopedic craftsmanship since 1906. Together, we’ve created a limited-edition capsule that blends our signature bold, sustainable design with Scholl’s legendary comfort technology.
This is where Brazilian flair meets Italian heritage. It’s an exploration of our shared love for style, craftsmanship, and innovation—designed for those who refuse to choose between aesthetics and well-being.
The Collection
At the heart of this collaboration is the union of two absolute classics: our iconic Possession jelly sandal and Scholl’s timeless Pescura heel (first introduced in 1956).
By combining our unique, vegan Melflex® material with Scholl’s anatomical footbed technology, we’ve created silhouettes that feel like a dream and look like a statement.
The Pescura Heel:
A fresh reinterpretation of the classic design that has defined comfort for nearly 70 years.
The Melissa Possession Pescura:
A seamless hybrid, merging our signature Possession upper with the iconic Pescura base.
The Palette:
Sophisticated, translucent shades of green, black, and brown, paired with our signature crystal-clear finish.
Campaign: Rio Vibes, Italian Soul
Shot in the vibrant, artistic neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro, our campaign imagery celebrates the contrast of our two worlds. Against a backdrop of cobblestone streets and vintage trams, we’ve captured the energy of Brazil fused with the romantic warmth of Italy.
About the Partnership
For over 100 years, Scholl has led the way in aspirational, comfortable footwear. By marrying their anatomical expertise with our commitment to sustainable, vegan fashion, we are setting a new standard for effortless, everyday luxury.

Melissa is becoming more circular and responsible every day
CIRCULARITY
The pursuit of a circular model inspires us at every stage, from pre- to post-consumption. It begins with the choice of Melissa’s raw material, Melflex. Next comes the shoe design project, which already considers the lowest possible impact. After an eco-efficient production process, the shoe goes out into the world. And, at the right time, the loop closes. This cycle is made possible by our Reverse Logistics Program, a pioneer in Brazil.
RESPONSIBILITY
We’re always looking for ways to improve our production methods. From our factories to our stores, we want Melissa to be the best company possible for people and the planet. That’s why we are working together to implement the profound changes this moment calls for.
