Philosophy & Principles
Our motto is; “Melik Moving People” and can be interpreted in two ways; Firstly, shoes literally take the person who wears them from A to B and secondly, wearing the brands Melik Shoes, H32 and Ponche gives a happy feeling. Melik makes shoes, matching belts and bags for men and women who want to stand out and feel good about what they wear. Self-confident and happy people with a clear opinion and taste.
At Melik Shoes, we only settle for the best of the best. That's why we can proudly say that we make shoes that not only look great, but also offer great wearing comfort.
Style and design
We are launching three 'own' fashionable shoe brands on the market. The passion for making beautiful products is visible in every product. Price/quality is perfectly in proportion. Melik's passionate designs surprise every season and bear the telling Melik signature. The creative process already starts at the international leather fair in Italy, where Melik Alphan himself selects the most beautiful leather and suede materials. He finds inspiration for the stylish details at fairs and in the streets of the most vibrant fashion cities in the world.
We only use high-quality materials. Our specialty is hand-dyeing and finishing shoes. This is a laborious and meticulous process that makes each pair of shoes unique. This gives each pair of shoes its own look.
Let customers speak for us
I ordered a pair of Giamo | Beige and was eagerly waiting for them to arrive. When I finally opened the box, I was thrilled to see that the color and design matched the description perfectly, just as shown on the website.
But the real surprise came when I put them on—the comfort of the inner sole and the softness of the upper leather made them an absolute joy to wear. I was so impressed that I wanted to order another pair, but unfortunately, my size (43) was no longer available. I’ll definitely keep checking the website for great deals and hope to add more pairs to my collection soon!
Melik is een goede kwaliteit.
