Gurls, you know I love a good pair of shoes…. especially when they are both stylish and comfortable! Rothy’s have been around for a while, and if you’ve ever wondered whether they’re really worth the hype, you’re not alone. Their flats (and all their other shoe styles) have a serious fan base, but are they worth the splurge? If you’ve been on the fence about trying them, today’s post is for you! We’re diving into what makes this brand so popular, who they’re a good fit for, and my top picks.

What is Rothy’s?

Rothy’s has built a name for itself by making comfortable, stylish shoes that—get this—are machine washable! Yes, you read that right. These shoes are made from recycled plastic water bottles, which sounds a little strange, but trust me, they don’t feel like it. In fact, each pair helps keep bottles out of landfills by transforming them into a soft, flexible knit that feels great on your feet. They come in a variety of styles and colors, so whether you’re running errands, heading to the office, or dressing up for brunch, there’s a pair for you!

Wondering why everyone is raving about these shoes? Here are some of the top reasons:

  • No Break-in Period: They feel comfy straight out of the box. No blisters, no band-aids, no suffering through a “wearing-in” phase. Just happy feet from day one!
  • They Mold to Your Feet: The more you wear them, the better they get!
  • They’re Completely Washable: Have you ever spilled coffee on your favorite shoes? Or stepped in something questionable? With Rothy’s, no problem! Toss them in the wash, and they come out looking brand new.
  • They’re Eco-Friendly: If you love the idea of making a sustainable AND stylish choice, Rothy’s checks both boxes!

Who Should Try Rothy’s Shoes?

Now, let’s talk about whether Rothy’s shoes make sense for you. Here’s who I think will love them:

  • Busy ladies on the go: Whether you’re running errands, traveling, or keeping up with grandkids, these flats are comfy enough to keep up with you all day.
  • Women who want style and comfort: We’ve all been guilty of sacrificing comfort for cute shoes, but with Rothy’s, you don’t have to. These flats let you look put together without the aching feet.
  • Anyone who’s over ruining expensive shoes: Rain, spills, dirt? No big deal. Just toss these in the wash, and they come out looking fresh and new.
  • Ladies who love an effortless, polished look: Whether you’re heading to lunch with friends or out for a casual dinner, these shoes are easy to wear while still looking super classy and timeless!

  1. I had never heard of the Rothy‘s brand shoes before. And was intrigued by their story and the fact they are made out of recycled water bottles. So I ordered a pair which I don’t normally order shoes online. I’m glad I went up a half size. They’re very cute shoes and comfortable too. Thanks for the tip about these shoes.

    1. I’m glad they worked for you!

  2. Dorothy Kennedy says:

    Found it! Love these shoes

  3. I splurged on a pair on clearance. They look nice, fit well ,but for us over 50 (60) ladies, there is just no support. Fine for running out to the store but not good for an all day excursion.

  4. Mary Carol says:

    FOUND IT!!
    I love the shoes but I don’t think my podiatrist would approve…does that make me sound old?

  5. Found it.
    You look good in green!

  6. Found it! My feet tend to stretch out a shoe that is designed to “mold to your foot.” Has anyone had experience with this in Rothy’s?

  7. I LOVE Rothy’s! I have 7 pairs of the Point in various colors and wear them on repeat, including my latest Knot pair. To me, they are definitely worth the money as I really don’t wear any other flats, they’re not only washable in the machine, but they last forever. If anyone is worried that they might be “too flat,” the Point II has more padding and is more supportive than the original point and I find it very comfortable.

    And, oh yes, found it!

  8. All great recommendations on the Rothy’s!

  9. Found it!
    Love the look of Rothy’s. I’m not sure if they are too flat for me though. My favorites are the pointed or the loafers!

  10. Kellie johnson says:

    I love my Rothy’s. I have numerous pairs of the point and I absolutely love them. I also have a few pairs of the slip on sneaker. They are perfect for spring days when it isn’t quite warm enough for sandals. Highly recommend and worth the money

    1. I ordered a pair of sneakers. I’m looking forward to them arriving, just hope not from FedEx. Lol!

  36. Rosanna Lockett says:

    I found it 😊

  37. Hi Tania,
    Did you by any chance take any type of ibuprofen? I can’t take ibuprofen because it causes blood vessels in my eyes to break. I would also get small “bruised” spots on my face, usually near my eyes. Just a thought.

    1. I can’t remember. If I had a headache, I might have taken something, but I don’t remember doing that.

  38. Found it! I have heard of Rothy’s shoes over the years but have yet to try them.

  39. FOUND IT

    I’ve never heard of Rothy’s, but will check them out now.

  40. It took me a while….but, FOUND IT!

  41. Found it!
    Found both!😊
    Love the style of the Rothy shoes…..wish they were more affordable.😊

  42. Found it!
    Thanks for the brain workout.

  43. FOUND IT.
    I like the look of Rothy’s but they have zero support.

  44. Found it.
    These shoes look so comfortable, however my feet are really slim so soft shoes do not work for me.

  45. Found it! Had to look three times, then found it!😆

  46. FOUND IT! (Also found some cute shoes!)

  47. Sandra Winfield says:

    Found it
    I love round shoes not pointy because of my wide feet. Can you show some stylish flats with class and round toes? Love your blog🥰

  48. Finally FOUND IT. You are getting sneakier. 🙂 I’ve never heard of these shoes, but I love the concept and the styles. Do they hold up well after several washes?

    1. Yes, they hold up nicely.

  49. krista harendt rogers says:

    found it!!!!

  50. Wendy Hoff says:

    Found it! Will check out these shoes!

  51. Do the Rothy’s fit a narrow foot?

    1. Ummm, I don’t have a narrow foot, so it would be hard for me to say. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  52. Found it!!!! Love all of these loafer ideas

  53. Jackie N. says:

    Not quite sure how my feet would like the flatter styles, but I am drawn to the lug loafer style in today’s post. I’m pretty sure I would not pay $229 for them — especially since the uppers are not made of leather. Rothy’s are certainly attractive shoes though.

  54. Found it. I’ve never tried Rothy’s, but now I will have to check them out.

  55. Found it

    How does these compare with Vivaia?

    1. I’ve never tried that brand. 🤷‍♀️

  56. Evelyn Rodgers says:

    Found it! Love my Rothy’s – they are an investment but last for years.

  57. After 3 tries–Found it!

  58. Found it! My daughter and son-in-law live in NYC and my Rothy Mary Jane flats are the first shoes I pack when we travel there. They are super comfortable and I can walk miles and miles in them with no pain or blisters. Plus they’re cute!

  59. Paula Presbrey says:

    I found it !
    Almost missed it because I am not a fan of that particular style….

  60. Found it. I love Rothy’s!!! I have 4 pairs.

  61. Found it!
    Thank you for the review of Rothy’s!

  62. Found it
    I love my pointed Rothy’s for travel – light weight, easy to pack, comfortable and look nice with pants or dresses. I need to try the casual styles. I didn’t realize they have so many different styles.

  63. Found it! Love these shoes!

  64. Teri O’Brien says:

    Found it! I love Rothy. I have several pairs

  65. I found both 🙂🙂!

  66. Found it! I may look into the shoes. 🙂

  67. Found it! I have several different pairs of Rothy’s. They are worth the money because you can wash them and they last. I still have my first pair of black ones and they are more than 5 years old.

  68. Found it! probably cannot wear these because I have narrow feet and have to use orthotics in my shoes which involves taking out the cushion insole first.

  69. Roberta Schwandner says:

    Found it!

  70. Patti McDonald says:

    Found it. The Driver is a pretty style shoe. Lots of nice colors.

  71. Found it! Does Rothy’s ever have a sale?

  72. Dottie W. says:

    Hope your eye doesn’t hurt. Occasionally I will wake up with a really red, bloodshot eye and I have no idea how it happened. At least you can hide yours with makeup!

  73. Tania – that almost looks like an allergic reaction to something when I zoom in.

  74. Found it! I like The Driver style!

  75. Julia Rowan says:

    FOUND IT🙂. I’ve never heard of Rothy’s but I LOVE the Mary Jane’s!

  76. Susan Anderson says:

    I have a pair of Rothys – black Rhe Point. I love how they look but they aren’t as comfy as I thought they’d be. I think it depends on the size and shape of your feet. I also have knock-off pairs that are just as cute and more comfortable plus they are much less expensive. I do appreciate all Rothys stands for.

  77. JoAnn Hughes says:

    Found it!

    I love Rothy’s, and have two pairs! I wish they were a little less pricey though.

  78. Found it. Love Rothy’s!

  79. Found it! Thank you! I’ll check out Rothy’s.

  80. Susan Lindsay says:

    Found it
    I have several pairs of Rothy’s and my favorite are the pointed toe flats! Very comfortable and stylish with many outfits!

  81. Found It So sorry about your eye, hope it feels better real soon

  82. Danielle P. says:

    Found it! I love the look of Rothy’s, just wish they weren’t so dang expensive. Some of the teachers I work with swear by them. I might have to just sacrifice and do it! 🙂

  83. Finally found the lil rascal!

  84. Jennifer Steadman says:

    Found it! Love Rothy’s – so comfy

  85. Found it! Do you know if these flats have any arch support?

    1. Lisa, I don’t think they have a ton of arch support. I have some arch support insoles that I use when that happens. I take out the original insoles and pop those in.

  86. Sandie King says:

    Found it!
    Thanks for the post. Never tried these shoes but might have to look into them.

  87. Kathy Laweryson says:

    found it! Sorry to hear about your eye!! I like the Mary Jane’s the best.

  88. Jan Canapp says:

    FOUND IT.

    May have to give Rothy’s a try, after seeing this post. That brand has never been on my radar.

    1. They are extremely comfortable, and so easy to wash if they get dirty.

  89. I found it!
    I will be looking these Rothy shoes thank you

  90. Found it! & shoes all look nice!

  91. Tania, I had the EXACT same thing happen to my eye right around the New Year. It looked exactly like that. Same place and no pain. I just figured it must have been something from playing with the grandkids. A few days later I had a stye pop up right above where the bruise had been. I hope that doesn’t happen to you.

    1. I wonder what it is. Maybe one of my readers will have an answer for us. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  92. Brenda Fales says:

    How do the sizes run? True to size?

    1. Brenda, they usually run true to size or one size down. If you are between sizes, then size down. I usually look in the reviews to see what other ladies are saying, but even then, people are divided on the answer. 🤪
