The Ballet Flat

4.8 • 4 Reviews

I actually have several pair of Rothy's, however, my favorite design are the ballet flats. I have the ballet flats in both black and navy. I love these shoes and have had them for years. They look like brand new! They really are worth the money and have held up under many different weather conditions in Pittsburgh, PA. They are great for us therapists who like to have an extra pair of flats in the office just in case out feet need a rest from any uncomfortable shoes we might have tried to wear - my Rothy’s are always near-by!

I have owned three pairs of Rothy's shoes the slip on sneakers, lace up and the ballet flats. I purchased them all at different times around 2023-2025. Since I work in health care I wanted some comfortable shoes that I could wear in clinic and also machine wash. My favorite shoes of the three that I own are the slip ons because they are more versatile and even comfier with insoles. I was not a huge fan of the flats, I didn't feel like they were very flattering on my feet and lacked support. I purchased the pointed ballet flats and had to return those twice because the sizing was off and unflattering silhouette. However, my sisters bought their own pairs of rounded ballet flats after I purchased mine and ended up loving them and wore them just about every day. I ended up giving my ballet flats to my sister because I was not wearing them.

Rothy's are some of my favorite shoes. The hype is real and deserved! Comfortable with no breaking in period all three of the shoes I own from them have been winners. The lug loafers are one of my most complimented pairs of shoes and truly go with everything. I bring them traveling for all ground surfaces and weather, they truly work for everything. Two things to note before committing: sizing and washing. Sizing is inconsistent based on model, so check reviews. I normally wear a 9 in flats/tennis shoes and 9.5 in heels. For the lug loafer I took a 9.5, the ballet flat 9 and the lounge loafer a 9.5. When you wash them you need to remove the insoles. Before allowing them to dry put your insoles back in! I had a mishap with my lug loafers fabric shrinking in because I didn't put the insole back in while it was still wet. I ended up rewashing them and stretching them out, and while they fit again they're still a little misshapen.

I love Rothy's! I have several pairs. They are comfortable and look good with any type of clothing. You can dress them up or down. I believe that all of the ones that I have can be washed in the washing machine as well. I am wearing the Mary Jane's as I write this. I do believe that they run small. My podiatrist measured my foot and it came just under the size 6 line. I wear a 7.5 in Rothy's. Some can be a little loose but still comfy. The size 7 squeeze my toes.
