Melissa Shoes at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World is now permanently closed.

Located in the Town Center, Melissa Shoes sold jelly and plastic footwear for adults and kids.

The closure is slightly surprising as it recently completed a remodel into Clube Mellisa. Two stores remain open in Florida and one in California.

The store's closure will see a reshuffle of some existing tenants and the addition of a new offering.

It's also strange because they are currently right next door to each other, although the shoe space is slightly smaller. They can't be connecting them because there is a service entrance between them.

Interesting considering Alex & Ani's well-publicized financial issues.

It’s been there since the expansion.

I won't miss this store. Never understood the concept of (somewhat expensive) plastic shoes that could make feet sweat/blister, specially in Florida. Guess sales didn't justify the high rent? 🤷‍♀️

I hardly ever saw anyone shopping there.
