Rothy's reviews and discussion

Love the sustainability of the brand and the durability and comfort of their shoes, even my latest pair the almond slingbacks are surprisingly for being basically flat, great for walking days up to 5 miles.

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.

I love what Rothy's stands on -- make shoes, accessories out of recycled plastic! That is awesome to me and I have been impressed with their business for a long time. Yes that recycled plastic is pricey but I love their shoes. I went for the clog shape and stuck to my original size, they fit perfectly and have worn them non stop, around the house since they dropped at my door. Truly impressed and will be buying the 'winter' version for sure. I took a risk with the crossbody,cell phone bag and I actually really like it. I don't like to carry big purses and this fits my phone with my wallet/cards and maybe a lippy and some gum :)

I love these shoes, my only issue is with the point you need a half size larger because of how pointed they are. It's a bit squishy in there! These shoes are perfect for dressing up a pair of jeans and a blouse.

I have been a loyal customer of Rothy's for at least 12 years. I cannot count how many times I have received compliments on my various shoes from Rothy. They are comfortable and stylish on top of eco-friendly and having a long-life span. I have shoes that are 12 years old that still look brand new. I know there are some shoe companies trying to replicate the design and they all fall short. This is worth the money as these are shoes you will have for decades, and they will remain comfortable and looking brand new each day.

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.

I have a pair of their flats and a pair of booties. Their flats have held up for literally years of NYC everyday street walking - I used to commute to work everyday on the subway wearing these. I remember when I first got them too that I was floored by how they required ZERO breaking in which was especially impressive for ballet flats. You do have to wash them since they can start to smell. I think they've held up okay in the washing machine though a few years in there's like a couple of stitches on the side that have worn through and isn't as nice to look at. As a whole, the flats also just don't LOOK as clean as they were when I first bought them despite me washing them but I do think that's a bit of an unrealistic standard when they've lasted so much longer than any other pair of ballet flats I've ever had. When I first started wearing them in 2018 I don't think I have ever wore anything else on the subway that would get more strangers coming up to me and asking me if they were rothy's and what I thought about them. I've had the merino wool booties for over a year too and love them for their comfort. I haven't had to wash these since I've been careful to wear socks with them.

So comfy right out of the box and surprisingly supportive for how lightweight they are. Easy to clean and hold up well over time. I wear them constantly, especially when I’m on my feet all day and I always get compliments on them.

These Rothy's shoes are comfortable and have really gained in popularity over the years. I think it's great. It's so cool that they use recycled plastic to make their shoes, it is so unique and saves the planet.

The best thing about Rothy's is that every shoe I've purchased from them is comfy right out of the box. You never have to break them in. I've ordered two flats and one clog and I constantly finding myself grabbing them because they're so comfy. I tried the Birkenstock clog and Rothy's clog and I'll never go back — Rothy's is hands-down wayyy more comfortable. Plus, they're super flexible and easy to pack. Absolutely worth the higher price tag.

I cannot say enough great things about my rothy's. I bought a pair of their men's sneakers and they have become the only shoes I wear. I've always shied away from lighter colored sneakers because they get dirty and are a pain to maintain. However, the ability to throw these in the washer and have them come out fresh each time has been incredible. I also love their sustainability story and the style is really good.

Rothy’s! These shoes are so comfortable- you just slip em on & go! I really love the points, the loafers & the driver’s! They are perfect for work or throwing on any day of the week! I have over 25 pairs! My only complaint is- they’re pricy - but the fact that their machine washable - makes them so worth it! All my pairs still look brand new! I have a few of the flats & sneakers too! But I tend to wear the points, loafers & drivers the most! Some are really hard to find- such as my cornflower blue points and the striped merino wool points! Dragonfruit is one of my favorite colors! Also they stand by their products- 100%, I had a pair I wore once & the color ran everywhere- I own 25+ pairs and that’s never happened before so I knew it had to be a defect! They immediately told me to keep or donate the points and sent me a full refund or a gift card for the full price of the item! I also really love their handbags and wristlets & pouches- they’re lightweight and machine washable! I definitely recommend this for all moms/working moms!

I love the idea of these shoes, but in my experience getting the fit right has been challenging. They’re very tight but slip off your heel, no matter if I size up or down! Washable? Check! Cute? Check! Stay on your feet? Ehhh

I’ve had these slip on shoes for a few years now. Unfortunately, the midsole foam inserts (under the top insert) has pins that broke and anytime I put them on now the pin literally stabs my feet. I reached out to customer service to see if they can send a replacement, but they said that they could not since it’s an order that was from a few years ago and probably due to wear and tear. That being said, now my feet slide in the shoes if I don’t have those midsole foam inserts making the shoes non-functional after a few years. Not a very good long-term purchase at all which is contradictory since this is a company that claims to be eco-efficient.

I love my Rothys! They're comfortable and someway to keep clean. I'm on my feet nearly every working day as a high school teacher, and my navy Rothys don't leave my feet feeling sore at the end of my day. I will add.they seem to run small. I typically wear a 9.5 US, but I got a 10 as I was advised to size up.

Quite comfy, durable shoes, and great styles.

Super cute flats that are extremely comfortable. Love that they are machine washable!

The clogs are really fantastic. Rothy's were never my style until they started making these clogs, and now I find I reach for them more than my Birkenstock Bostons, especially the boucle/sherpa lined ones. I will be getting for folks for the holidays! One note-- the clogs seem to run a full size large. I had to exchange for the right size, but they made that very easy.
