Reviews

Don't follow the reviews--order your normal size!

"I spent WAY too much time reading the reviews and studying the size chart, which most recommended going at least a half size up due to the style. I did that, and very much regret it--way too big. Not a huge deal if I could exchange, but these were "final sale" and now I have loose, sloppy shoes that I won't wear. Grrrr. . . ."

— Carolyn T. (2/5)

Cheap and uncomfortable

"The shoe construction feels cheap- the soles are plastic and insubstantial, and the cut of the loafer means the back digs into your heel and the top rubs against your foot bone. These are expensive and they probably cost nothing to make, just feels like a rip-off. Wish I had spent the money on a nice pair of leather loafers instead."

— Charlotte H. (1/5)

Sooo cute and comfy!

"I purchased 2 pair of the Rothy Penny Loafers in Blue Raffia (Knit) and Pink. They were both about 40 percent off and I couldn’t decide between these 2 beautiful colors so I treated myself to both. These are my first Rothy’s and I couldn’t be happier! I wore the pink pair on a recent trip to San Francisco. I walked almost 4 miles and never had a pain, pinch, rubbing, gapping, no issues at all. The shoes are stylish, so comfortable, and wearable with so many things. I absolutely love them! I normally wear a 10. 5, or 11. I ordered the 10. 5 and they fit perfectly!"

— Kelli M. (5/5)

nice quality and comfortable

"I like them. High quality and comfortable. I haven't worn them enough to fully break them in, but even without being broken in, they're still comfortable. Not stiff at all. I typically wear size 7, but sometimes 7. 5 with shoes that run really narrow. I got size 7 and am glad I did. I like my shoes to fit my feet pretty snug, and I don't think a 7. 5 would've fit as well. I know some people say they run small, but that wasn't my experience, and my feet are wide and often swell throughout the day."

— Aliya T. (5/5)

SUPER COMFY

"This loafer is very comfortable. Much softer than I expected. I am size 7. 5 wide and it is perfect fit but this one I purchased size 8 since I like loose fit. Great for work and travel."

— Yuko W. (5/5)

Pure comfort

"I don’t like to have to break in shoes and Rothy’s gives that to me. Pure comfort !!! Loved my loafers the moment I tried them on…. I’m in level obsession! Definitely going for another pair."

— Ana S. (5/5)

Excellent style but a bit narrower than expected

"Luckily the material is stretchy so they're not uncomfortable but you can see the shape of my foot above the sole, so not ideal. I love them but def for a narrower foot"

— Lisa L. (4/5)

Blue loafers

"Every pair of Rothy’s that I own are exceptional. These loafers did not disappoint. They will be perfect in the fall with jeans and skirts."

— Terri S. (5/5)

These are the cutest shoes.

"These are the cutest shoes. I didn’t even need shoes, but these were so cute when I walked by the window I had to go in and look at them - so far so good on the comfort."

— Ellen T. (5/5)

loafer with some arch support

"I have always wanted a pair of Rothy’s pointy but less of arch support and even though i sized up and put more cushion, it just didn’t work for me making a lot of pain with toes and barely support. Finally I went to store. I got recommendation of this Loafer. I need to size up for 7. 5 instead of 7. It has a bit strong bottom than other Rothy’s. The insole arch support is minimal but some support. Somehow back of the shoes heel area is a bit shorter. It didn’t wrap your heel like other loafers. I think the design has flaws. I wore for 3 conference days. It was a bit painful at toes area and heel area by the end of the day compared to my other loafers like Sam Edelman Loraine loafer."
