Reviews

New favorites

"I already have multiple pairs of Rothys but these are now my new favorite. I love the look and feel of them and can wear them to work and out casually with friends. I brought them on my work trip and have been wearing them with everything, including the days we are doing lots of walking. Will buy in more colors!"

— Marissa C. (5/5)

I really wanted these to work for me and I’m sad they don’t.

"There really isn’t any structure for arch support. My toes get squeezed together in the cap toe and the give me blisters. My feet are a regular width as I have very petite 5’2 102lbs. The website recommend to size a half size down because they run big but this was totally off. I wear high heels every single day and my feet needed a break so I decided I would finally invest in a pair of these hoping for a solution to a comfortable work shoe, which is seemingly impossible to find."

— Charlotte W. (1/5)

Soooo pretty

"The metallic prosecco color is so pretty and an easy way to dress up an outfit. I took the recommendation of others and ordered a half size smaller than my usual Rothy’s size and am glad I did. The shoes fit well and are comforatable in this smaller size."

— Christine P. (5/5)

classy, well-made shoes

"These shoes sharpen up an outfit. They are very comfortable and good for normal getting around as in out for errands or for nice functions. Don't expect them to wear them for power walking. Wonderful to know that if rain happens, shoes hold up so well."

— Nicolette S. (5/5)

Amazing bright red slingbacks

"These shoes are so pretty. I love the color and the fit. They are so comfortable that they are perfect for long walks or shopping. And you don't have to be concerned about them getting scuffed up, so easily cleaned."

— Joan D. (5/5)

Love the look

"On sling backs I should have gotten a 7 1/2 not an 8 and there are no exchanges others than that as all my other Rothy shoes they are perfect."

— Brenda W. (4/5)

Cute and comfortable

"These are way more comfortable than a flat and give no blisters. Would definitely buy again in other colors but would probably size down half a size in case the band stretches."

— Sarah A. (5/5)

Summer sling backs are terrific!

"Love these shoes! I’m going to be wearing them all the time, so comfortable and look so stylish."

— Pippa M. (5/5)

Cute and comfy

"Cute and comfy but there is no arch so beware if that’s important to you. Size an entire size down. Runs very small."

— Crystal G. (4/5)

Pretty but no cushion

"Although the style is lovely, I was disappointed that the comfort of the cushioned inserts in my previously purchased Rothy's flats was not reflected in this new pair."

— Connie S. (3/5)
