Reviews

Great vacation shoes

"Walked in these all through northwestern France and Paris, they were brand new. No blisters, feet were comfortable other than being tired at the end of long days. Just wish I had ordered a smaller size, wasn’t sure what to order as I wear larger running shoes than everyday shoes. Ended up just sewing the strap a little to make the fit better. They seem very durable so far!"

— Molly W. (4/5)

Disappointed

"I own several pairs of Rothy’s and these are, by far, my least favorite. I bought a half size smaller because of the heel strap. They still came off my feet frequently. They are also not comfortable. The style of the shoe does not allow for any cushioning or support. I bought them to wear for a special occasion and I will probably not wear them again."

— Mary H. (3/5)

Terribly uncomfortable

"These shoes have no support and no cushion. I have nearly flat feet and these are too flat even for me. They are lightweight but the soles are so thin that you feel everything. When wearing the shoes, the bottoms of your toes rub in an uncomfortable way that eventually starts to burn. Also, I’m a true 39 and though I purchased the US equivalent of that - an 8. 5, they almost feel a touch too small. However, the next size up was entirely too large and flopped off my feet."

— Paige K. (2/5)

Comfortable Shoes

"This is my second pair and I size down on this pair because the first pair is just a tiny bit too long. Because it’s a sling back no socks are involved. The quality is awesome and I’m a big fan of the product."

— Karen L. (5/5)

Surprisingly comfortable!

"I love these sling backs, very comfortable. Sizing is a little wonky from one style to another, definitely try them on ahead of time if you can, I am stuck with two pair in other styles because sizing is inconsistent between styles."

— Tammie G. (5/5)

NOW THESE ARE THE BEST

"My husband made me buy them, not a big fan of sling backs. Boy, was I ever wrong!!!!! Cannot stop wearing them. Love the Toe Cap. We might need more colors! Way comfortable."

— June R. (5/5)

Classic

"Almond is my favorite shoe shape and I really wish Rothy’s would make a regular almond that wasn’t sling back. There isn’t any support in these shoes. I typically wear a 7. 5 and I did get a 7 based on reviews. I honestly probably could’ve gone for a 6."

— Chelsea W. (4/5)

Sassy slingback

"I was looking for a black shoe that I could wear with dressy outfits or work attire. This slingback is perfect! It’s comfortable with classic lines, but the added beading makes it sassy!"

— Elizabeth L. (5/5)

Cute but as comfortable

"Shoe fit in my normal 7. 5 size. No blister or irritation on the heel and plenty of toe space. However, the sole of the shoe is not very comfortable if you’ll be on your feet a lot."

— Nicole P. (4/5)

Almond slingback

"Love the shoes however I received the shoes and on the very same day the price was reduced to $99. I paid full price. Not happy with that."

— Maxine C. (5/5)
