Reviews

Cute and compliment-inspiring

"This was my first experience with Rothy’s and I’m overall impressed so far. They’re fairly comfortable right out of the box, though the rigid heel rubs on my achilles a bit but not enough to cause a blister and I’m optimistic this will resolve after a break-in period. I get lots of compliments and I love the color."

— Emily N. (4/5)

Fabulous feel!!

"Some years back I had decided Rothy's weren't for me...no support. But going into a store to buy for my daughter, I discovered these loafers and was pleasantly surprised to find they had some arch help and nice padding. Wore them straight from the box...no break in and I love them!"

— Marian H. (5/5)

My favorite everyday shoe

"I am so glad you changed the old insole and replaced it with a more supportive one! It is so comfortable. I have a lot of Rothy’s shoes and I like the daily driver the best because it has the most support. I’m always looking for a shoe that is more polished than a sneaker but allows me to do a fair amount of walking and this does the job."

— Susan H. (5/5)

Basic flat shoe

"The shoes are fine for flats. I was expecting them to be more comfortable for the price. I work in sales and I’m on my feet all day. I normally wear Sperry’s and decided to finally give Rothy’s a try. They are not uncomfortable, but for the price I was hoping for more. The color is also not quite as expected."

— Jenine S. (3/5)

Great looking, light and comfy!

"The Daily Driver is my first pair of Rothy’s and I love them. Comfy from the first wear. I do have issues with my feet and am always looking for nice looking comfortable shoes. I wish I had the money to get them in several different colors."

— Cynthia M. (5/5)

Shoes great, shipping is not

"Love my new shoes, they are very cute and comfortable. My biggest complaint is they use the US Postal Service to deliver these. I ordered them on a Sunday. They were supposed to come the following Friday, which was perfect because I bought them for an out-of-state work conference, the delivery got moved to Saturday and then it got moved to Monday when I was leaving. I was gone all week and they ended up being delivered on Thursday after I got back. The only reason I ordered them is because the store did not have my size available. So great shoes but if you’re needing them quick shipping is not accurate."

— Jennifer S. (4/5)

Comfort and Style

"I’ve been wearing good athletic shoes at work primarily for years, and needed a change. The big department store recommended Rothy’s, so I went for it, and I LOVE them! Plenty of room in the toe box, no bunion chafing, not even a break-in period. These just fit right from the start. I have 5 pair so far"

— Virginia C. (5/5)

Best Toe Box So Far

"These are the least restrictive Rothys I've tried and they are very comfortable! I don't have wide feet but am more and more aware of the spacing our feet should ideally have (vs being squished into a triangle). Loved these and ended up ordered a second color. They're great travel shoes! Ah, and with all my Rothys, I sized up (non-Rothys size 8.5-9; drivers size 9.5)."

— Jessica A. (5/5)

Love the upgraded driver

"I have a pair of Rothy Drivers that have the original footbed. I hesitated ordering these (even through they were adorable) because I have heal pain from la k or support in my original pair. I gave them a try knowing they’d been updated and I couldn’t be happier! Already looking at another pair because they are SO comfortable!"

— Courtney Z. (5/5)

Worse than they used to be

"Bought a pair of these three years ago and they fit perfectly. They’re starting to get holes in the heels, which doesn’t bother me too much - I’ve worn them a ton. Ordered a new pair in the same size, and it’s like a totally different, much worse shoe. The new sizing is awful - the shoes are the same length but much larger top to bottom so there’s way too much room and they slip off my feet. Will have to return."
