I was looking for nude flats which can last for years. Something homogeneous because all my previous flats' problems always has something falling apart. I love walking and because I wear one pair for many months, cheaply-made ones disintegrate fast. And that led me to narrow down my search to Grendha and Melissa.
Both are actually under one company (along with Ipanema) but I believe Melissa's target market is higher up. I liked Grendha's styles better so I didn't consider this anymore. That's a better reason than saying I can't afford it. Haha.
So I was very ready to buy this style from Grendha but my size is out of stock. :( I tried Glorietta, Landmark, SM to no avail so I took that as a sign that I need to think more. It's so perfect for me. :(
Then I discovered that there's another brand out there with these kinds of shoes. Terra & Agua. I always pass by this store at Glorietta on Sundays but not really seeing its wares. Its price range is the same with Grendha. I was desperate to have nude flats so I bought one for P1850 the first time I visited the store.

It's more plastic-y. Grendha is not. Grendha has this smooth, almost like matte, jelly-like soft finish. This one is more glossy and hard. Oh well. I shall not dwell on what could have been to avoid disappointment. Haha.
The first day I used this pair, it was okay. It's my size but it felt a little tight. The 2nd day I went out with this, I got blisters at the usual part at the rear of my feet. I had to wear bandages for 2-3 days but now it's fine and has become comfortable.
It's okay. I think I still prefer Grendha though. :)

UPDATE (11/09/2015)
I really, really regret that purchase. Lol. It was really uncomfortable and gave me blisters. I bought a Melissa pair a few months later and I still find it very comfy up til now. I think this will last forever.
Save your money. Splurge on quality. Haha.
