We’ve been waiting a long time for these Melissa Ultragirl flats in super rare clear. Finally! These comfy eco-flats let you show off your summer pedicure through their frosty ice finish. And they feature the tiny peephole that is a signature Melissa touch. As PlantGreen points out, eco-fashionistas have had to say no to jellies for a long time because of their earth-unfriendly factor, but Melissa has changed all of that. Their jellies are made out of MEFLEX, a patented non-toxic plastic and their factory runs on a closed loop system. Now you can have your jellies and eat them too! Well, not quite, but you can certainly enjoy walking in them.
