Reviews

Look sharp and comfy too!

"I am VERY picky when it comes to shoes. I like them to be stylish, but not tacky, and need them to be very comfy in terms of fit because of a foot injury. I need a wider toe box, but have kind of skinny feet so I still need them to have some shape. I had a broken sesamoid (tiny bone on ball of foot) and had surgery on it. My foot is quite sensitive. These shoes allow me to still feel like my shoes are cute, but also comfortable. I usually wear an 8 in a casual shoe and this one fits well. They are pretty pricy, so I can’t buy as often as I might like. I appreciate Rothy’s!"

— Wendy S. (5/5)

Best Penny Loafer

"Bought the dark green LOVE the color, style, feel! Very comfy, cute, stylish!! I normally buy my Rothy’s in 8.5, but got the loafer in an8 and fits perfectly! ALL my shoes are Rothy’s. My next LOVE are the Moc Drivers!"

— Anne B. (5/5)

Loafers

"The most comfortable shoe ever. No "break-in" time required. Simply slip on and go. Not too wide, fits snug around heel. Plenty of toe room and no pressure on the bunion."

— Jennie N. (5/5)

Love love.

"I have a few pair of Rothy’s and the sizes are usually all over the place. I am a true 9 with a medium foot. I bought these in a 10, especially knowing they do not stretch. I don’t wear socks but there is enough room that I could. If it helps, I wear a 10 in the Daily Loafer and a 9.5 in The Daily Driver."

— Lauren F. (5/5)

The loafers are comfortable and

"The loafers are comfortable and very light. They are great summer shoes. You might get away with wearing on chilly days with socks. I found them to be more comfortable with socks."

— Lilia C. (5/5)

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)

Penny Loafers

"While the daily loafer I bought was comfortable, the penny loafers in the same size is just a bit small in the toe only."

— Jean P. (4/5)

LOVE LOVE LOVE these loafers!

"These Penny Loafers are so comfortable! I literally could wear these all day. Each time I wear them I get so many compliments. I will be ordering other colors for sure!"

— Cinda S. (5/5)

Uncomfortable

"Wanted so badly to love these but they are horribly uncomfortable. The fabric is rough against my skin, I have blisters all over, mainly my toes. This is my 3rd pair of Rothy's, none have worked out - I suppose they just aren't for me."

— E (1/5)

Poor fit

"Very unhappy with the fit I am a true 6.5 & this loafer ran short & uncomfortable for the price not only that it’s final sale so I can’t return them. Very disappointed !!! I have a narrow foot & they still pinched @ the toe."

— Deborah T. (1/5)
