Rothy’s earns largely positive reviews for comfortable, machine‑washable shoes that look polished, hold up for years, and showcase sustainable materials, while feedback flags inconsistent sizing, narrow toe boxes, thin soles, and minimal arch support. Reviews of Rothy’s highlight standout styles like The Point, ballet flats, loafers, drivers, slip‑on and lace‑up sneakers, and clogs; buyers praise durability and versatility but caution about odor retention, fit variability, and limited options for wide feet.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Got a pair a few years ago due to all the hype surrounding the brand -- and they were aggressively marketing at the time all over NYC as well. Fit was okay, but the shoes didn't last too long compared to other flats I've owned.

Absolutely obsessed with Rothy's shoes. Their flats are the most comfortable non-sneaker shoes I've ever worn. As someone who lives in a city and walks to the train to go to work, this is the only pair of work shoes I don't need to bring a backup 'walking' pair with! They're also very durable, and can be easily packed up or stored away.
Great quality and brand!

Could be more supportive.
I cannot wear most ballet flats due to them hitting a nerve on my big toe. I tried Tieks and hated them (much too tight). I was nervous about Rothy's but a girlfriend raved. I now have 3 pairs. I love both the traditional ballet flats and the pointed toe ones. They are extremely comfortable and easy to slip on/off. I also love that they have done free pairs of shoes for breast cancer survivors and got my mom a pair that way!
I have The Points in black and love how versatile and easy it is to walk in. They are super lightweight and breathable. The fitting of the shoes is not the best. If I walk in them for a while, my feet start to slide out. Also, because there is no cushion at the bottom, my feet will hurt after some time.

The fitting and material.
I love Rothy's. I own multiple pairs and even wore them at my own wedding reception. They're extremely comfortable and can be worn dressed up or down. Also, the washing factor is huge. I've washed mine many times without any deterioration in the material. Highly recommend.
Feedback
Just remember they are fabric so not a good choice when it's raining out. I would love it if they made a more cushioned insole.

I love how many style and color options there are for Rothy's because it creates a lot of comfortable flexibility in shoe options to complement many outfits. Rothy's are very comfortable and easy to clean.
Feedback
The pointed-toe flat feels noticeably narrower than the rounded toe, which makes it less comfortable to me.

Rothy's shoes have become a personal favorite due to their captivating array of colors and styles. As someone working in a science lab, the convenience of being able to wash these shoes easily after spills is a huge advantage. However, I do wish Rothy's would offer more options for people with wide feet and options with enhanced arch support.
I have multiple pair and think the quality is consistent and ability to wash is so nice. They are not as supportive as other flats so I can't wear them for my computer into work.
They’re ugly and the quality doesn’t hold up. Not really sure what the hype is about. Also they’re not comfortable.

Something seems off about the way the company is run. Don’t care for them.
Comfortable, washable, stylish! Rothy's is a forward thinking company that changes the way I think about transitional footwear.
I like my Rothy's, but I bought the point style before it was recommended to go up a half size so they're a little snug. They are a bit on the pricey side, but the colors and styles are cute and the mission is awesome.

I guess I'm getting old... I'd really love it if the flats had more support for my feet. I think they're comfortable, but it would be amazing if I could wear them without worrying about future issues.
So comfy!!! Wear almost daily

Too narrow, wish there was a wide option

I wanted to love these but I tried one size and they were way too small, then I tried the next half size up and they were huge. Cute though!
I was gifted a pair of the points, and I LOVED them. Well, I loved them after I returned the first pair for a size up. These shoes run small. Wore them until they were disgusting because they were just so comfortable. I washed them according to directions and they shrank. I tried to reach out to customer support and was told “I’ve never heard of that, are you sure you bought the right size.” Would have bought another pair if I wasn’t gaslight over the experience.
I loved the look and durability of these shoes, as well as the fact that I could just throw them in the washing machine, but they just weren’t comfortable over a long period of time. I would recommend these for people with narrow feet.
Feedback
Please make shoes for wide feet. I had to size up to get a shoe that would fit the width of my feet.
the comfiest shoes, sustainable, easy to clean, versatile

wish it was cheaper!

I waited forever to afford the pointed ballet flats because they are gorgeous and easy and super versatile. Unfortunately, I’ve only worn them a handful of times simply because they are so painful to wear. I have very narrow feet and these were way to narrow for me!! This has NEVER happened to me before. Just really an awful fit and so painful on my toes. I asked my SIL who also has a pair and she said her feet never got used to them and they gave her blisters every single time she wore them. In theory they should be the most comfortable ballet flat ever since they’re made out of flexible fabric but unfortunately I simply can never bear to wear these.

Make a shoe that doesn’t have my feet screaming after 5 steps
The best work shoes I have ever worn! They don’t look it but they are soooo comfortable.
