The product/service up for debate is: Shoes by Melissa
Featuring such guest designers as Kahim Rashid, Zaha Hadid, and most recently, Vivienne Westwood, Melissa uses a patented plastic called Melflex (likened to a jelly) to make what some claim are the world's most comfortable shoes. Melissa shoes are sold at Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue, among other places. The Jelly Oxford pictured third below was chosen as the 2009 Design Award for Best Travel Accessory by Travel & Leisure magazine.
So what do you think? Are these awesome? Or just plain out there?
Awesome or Out There is a series where I post (ahem) "interesting" products or services and you get to be the judge.
