Reviews

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)

Comfy Shoe, Noisy Sole

"I've been buying Rothy's Shoes since 2021 and always had a good experience, expect for now. I bought 2 pairs of the Daily Driver shoes, and the soles of both pairs of shoes are extremely noisy when you walk on concrete, tile, hardwood floors - any floor that isn't carpet. I've kept the shoe because I have a hard size foot to fit. I will not be buying this shoe anymore. The shoe is not worth $150 given how noisy the shoe is when you're not walking on carpet."

— Christine R. (3/5)

Great Loafers

"I have had these before and just purchased them in Morel and Black. They are super comfortable with no break in time. I have a bunion and I never have a problem. I wore them walking in Europe and my feet felt great. I hope they keep making them."

— Barbara R. (5/5)

The most comfy!

"After a series of knee surgeries, shoes are so important to my quality of life. These are my favorite. They have a toe box wide enough for stability. They are somewhat flexible and have a nice padding. Love the style. Plan to get more colors."

— Paula A. (5/5)

All-Day Comfort From the Box

"This is my first pair of Rothy's. Bought them for an early Fall trip into NYC. I had instant comfort from them right out of the box! I walked for 3 days in the city w/o any discomfort. Airline attendant noticed them, loved the pattern, and said she has a pair in black for work and finds them just as comfortable as me. I will order more!"

— Carrie G. (5/5)

Updated Daily Driver

"I loved my old Driver from Rothy's and was worried the newly updated Daily Driver wouldn't be as good. Luckily, these are just as comfortable. I can stand on my feet all day wearing these. I got this in Portobello and they pair well any clothes. Fits true-to-size."

— v l. (5/5)

Reliable work staple

"These fit perfectly and don't squeeze my toes like a lot of the popular pointed shoes do. I'm on my feet a lot at work, and these are comfortable, don't make my feet sweat like leather shoes and can be washed."

— Hannah M. (5/5)

Very Comfy!

"The first day I took them off after wearing all day and my feet felt relief so I assumed they would be uncomfortable for all day wear again but when I wore them again, they were very comfy because I guess they had adjusted to my foot. I can wear them all day. I hope my big toe doesn’t rip through them as that usually happens with shoes, wish they come out with platforms soon!"

— Catalina B. (5/5)
