Reviews

Perfect Summer Shoe

"I never leave reviews, but these shoes are just perfect. I'm a young professional who is entering the business casual world, and I have been struggling to find shoes I can wear all day during the summer. These have been perfect as they are so comfortable and lightweight. I have never had any issues with blisters or uncomfortable rubbing. I genuinely have no complaints and recommend them to everyone."

— Mariana M. (5/5)

Absolutely Thrilled!

"I’m so thrilled I purchased these shoes! They look fantastic, and I can comfortably wear them all day. I even get compliments from complete strangers. The only thing is that they’re slightly loose—enough to make me consider sizing down, but not quite enough to actually do it. Overall, they’re a great pair of shoes and fantastic for this time of year."

— Elise B. (4/5)

They are Adorable

"So far, I find these shoes absolutely adorable and extremely feminine. I purchased them for the back to school season, so I haven't worn them yet. I love the chocolate brown cover. I also appreciate the teacher's discount, so thank you Rothy."

— Sunya C. (5/5)

They’re ok

"I think Rothy’s are over hyped and I expected too much only to be disappointed. I expected arched cushioned support however these are pretty flat. Don’t expect all day comfort. They are tolerable but I wouldn’t say these are comfortable. They’re also very narrow although I sized up. My toes are very snug in the front. I considered returning but they only accept returns for unworn items. I wouldn’t buy Rothy’s again."

— JEnnifer a. (2/5)

Not good for walking!

"I loved how the shoes fit and felt in the store, but once I wore them outside to go for a short walk my feet quickly started to hurt. The texture of the fabric on my bare skin is so irritating and painful and should be smoother. I am so bummed that I can’t return them once worn even though it’s within the return window, so I’ll have to figure out a way to wear them for very limited distances that don’t require much movement. Not practical shoes at all, sadly."

— Teresa V. (1/5)

So classy and chic

"I love my Rothy’s! This is my 8th or 9th pair. I finally got the sizing correct and go up a full size from my typical sneaker size and a half size from other brands shoes. I have wide, flat feet with bunions. I love the way they polish off any outfit and make me feel put together. I prefer the max square because it doesn’t show my bunions through. I hope you’ll continue to have limited time sales because they’re pricey but there’s so many good colors I want to continue collecting. Final sale can be scary when the sizing is so inconsistent between styles."

— Monique G. (5/5)

ROUGH insoles

"Why would you make the insole out of a rough fabric? I got blisters across the whole pad of my foot just walking around town. . . with liners. My pinky toe hurts and I bought a size bigger. If I would have bought another size bigger, they'd be comically large. No wonder they have such a strict return policy. No one would keep these if they could return them after wearing for a day. My "bullseye" knockoffs with a thicker, more supportive strap and smooth insole are WAY more comfortable and cheaper."

— Elyse W. (1/5)

Discomfort in walking

"I appreciate the sustainable aspect of these but I am finding it uncomfortable while walking on concrete surfaces/ roads. These seem to be just office wear? One might have to slip back into sneakers once they step out of the office. They look good but not worth the price for comfort."

— Anjani V. (3/5)

Perfect Summer Flats!

"These shoes are very comfortable, light and breezy, making them perfect for summer. I would recommend ordering half a size larger. The fit tends to run small consistently across all the Rothy's pairs I own."

— Eleni L. (5/5)

Cute, but uncomfortable.

"As much as I want to love these, these really feel uncomfortable particularly in the toe area after using them for more than 30 minutes. I appreciate the arch support and the width below the toes, and I even sized up because that's what fit length wise, but they just pinch at the feet even with the added space at the front and I can only wear these if I am planning to sit for a long time."

— Ana G. (3/5)
