Reviews

Love the shoe!

"This was my first pair of Rothy's. The recommedation was to size down. I did and was pleasantly surprised that the length was great. After a full day of wearing, I felt that the toe box was a little tight. I will continue to wear them. If they become more comfortable, I will probably order another pair, different style and in my normal size. I love everything else about them!"

— Karen T. (4/5)

Great shoe

"The shoe is great, but only when the slingback stays on. I can’t figure out how to walk more than minimal distances without it slipping off. The shoe size is accurate, but apparently the back of my heal takes a smaller size. Or my walk isn’t sling back friendly since this is my second pair of sling backs and they both do the same."

— Erica S. (4/5)

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)

Cute but …

"They are very cute. However, they provide no type of support. Wouldn’t be able to wear these for more than a few hours, especially if standing or on my feet. If I’ll be sitting? Sure. I also wish the strap was tighter. I feel it loose. I bought a 6. Usually, I'm between 6 & 6 1/2. I find the same issue on the espadrilles."

— Ingrid D. (3/5)

Love Rothy shoes

"I appreciate the company and the best customer service that really cares about their customers to always make it right. I own 6 pairs and get compliments on all of them. Comfy and beautiful."

— Melinda M. (5/5)

Cute and goes with EVERYTHING

"I like them. I fell like I should get a 9 but the 81/2 feels perfect. Maybe because it’s a sling and doesn’t have an enclosed back?? It’s a good summer into fall shoe"

— Brandee G. (5/5)

Almond slingback

"I really like these shoes, very easy to wear but I do find that the back strap is quite loose and falls down. I would definitely consider buying another pair of Rothys but with an enclosed back!"

— Nicola M. (4/5)

Not comfy :(

"I’m was so hopeful for these. I have a pair of loafers I wore to work every day last year. I bought these and another pair in another color, but won’t be able to wear or return. I wore these for a full day of work and hated every second. Sorry, just not comfortable at all."

— Jordan B. (1/5)

Sling back

"I have many pairs of Rothy’s, and they are all comfortable, but these are not! Since I bought them on sale, they aren’t returnable. I’m not going to order any Rothy’s sale shoes again. I’m out almost $100 on these"
