Reviews

Perfect loader!

"I never thought it would be able to wear a Rothy as I have a size 11 foot. But these shoes were a perfect size with absolutely no pain points and a fantastic classic look. I am so excited to become an official Rothy wearer!"

— Betsy W. (5/5)

In style

"I purchased these loafers on a whim when shopping with my daughter at the the Newbury St store. (Very helpful sales consultants. ) Did I need another pair of Rothy's? (We all know the answer to that!) But loafers are having a moment again and these were a bit more stylish than just a plain brown. I'm between a 7.5 and an 8 in Rothy's and the 8.5 fit me best. (I tried on a few pairs). I wear them without socks and have walked a distance with no issues."

— Peggy R. (5/5)

Runs smaller than the daily drivers

"I have the Daily Drivers in a 7.5 which fit perfectly, so I ordered the loafers in the same size. They are definitely tighter. (FYI I have very narrow feet which is why I find this surprising. ) The toe area looks and feels narrower than the Daily Drivers which is why my feet feel more squished. I'd love to try an 8, but am overseas, so will just wear with very thin socks. Given the material, I'm sure they'll eventually stretch with some wear."

— GENIE P. (5/5)

Not the most comfortable Rothy

"This is my 8th pair of Rothy shoes and first time I’ve had an issue with the fit.., the toe box is narrow and tight. The size up was too large and my foot kept slipping out when I walked. Maybe it is the style, not as comfortable as all other Rothys I own."

— Reiko T. (3/5)

First time buyer

"First time buyer here because of a friend I tried them and I am in love! They are super comfortable, I usually by a 8.5 or 9 and on these I bought a 9. They are stylish, cute, and the fact that you can wash them is awesome!"

— Victoria W. (5/5)

Perfect loafers

"These are so supportive and comfortable! Gorgeous color, too. I have really wide feet and was worried about the risk of buying a Final Sale item without sizing up- but I’m so glad I did! They are stretchy, so they accommodate my width. For a spring/summer color like this (very pale pink), ordering my usual size worked out great. But they would definitely be too snug with even thin socks. So, for the fall/winter colors, I’ll be sure to size up as other reviewers have recommended."

— Janice B. (5/5)

Beautiful and comfortable

"These shoes are a perfect Red. They are very comfortable and can be warm with just about anything. Highly recommended and I will be purchasing them in another color. I am truly a Rothy fan."

— DARLA B. (5/5)

The problem that I have

"The problem that I have with this style is that this one actually runs true to size where other Rothy's runs half size small. I ordered half size bigger than the shoes I usually wear and they ended up being big on me."

— Marianna C. (3/5)

LOVE💜

"Comfort and style! I have so many compliments when I wear them. Great for walking on vacation. I will definitely be getting another pair💜!"

— Shari S. (5/5)

Great for jeans

"At first, these seemed a bit bright, but I paired them with dark jeans, and they worked together. I'm not sure they are as versatile as I'd like, but they're great quality. (They run slightly big. )"

— Jill B. (5/5)
