Reviews

Disappointed

"I own several pairs of Rothy’s and these are, by far, my least favorite. I bought a half size smaller because of the heel strap. They still came off my feet frequently. They are also not comfortable. The style of the shoe does not allow for any cushioning or support. I bought them to wear for a special occasion and I will probably not wear them again."

— Mary H. (3/5)

Terribly uncomfortable

"These shoes have no support and no cushion. I have nearly flat feet and these are too flat even for me. They are lightweight but the soles are so thin that you feel everything. When wearing the shoes, the bottoms of your toes rub in an uncomfortable way that eventually starts to burn. Also, I’m a true 39 and though I purchased the US equivalent of that - an 8. 5, they almost feel a touch too small. However, the next size up was entirely too large and flopped off my feet."

— Paige K. (2/5)

Surprisingly comfortable!

"I love these sling backs, very comfortable. Sizing is a little wonky from one style to another, definitely try them on ahead of time if you can, I am stuck with two pair in other styles because sizing is inconsistent between styles."

— Tammie G. (5/5)

Classic

"Almond is my favorite shoe shape and I really wish Rothy’s would make a regular almond that wasn’t sling back. There isn’t any support in these shoes. I typically wear a 7. 5 and I did get a 7 based on reviews. I honestly probably could’ve gone for a 6."

— Chelsea W. (4/5)

Sassy slingback

"I was looking for a black shoe that I could wear with dressy outfits or work attire. This slingback is perfect! It’s comfortable with classic lines, but the added beading makes it sassy!"

— Elizabeth L. (5/5)

Cute but as comfortable

"Shoe fit in my normal 7. 5 size. No blister or irritation on the heel and plenty of toe space. However, the sole of the shoe is not very comfortable if you’ll be on your feet a lot."

— Nicole P. (4/5)

New favorites

"I already have multiple pairs of Rothys but these are now my new favorite. I love the look and feel of them and can wear them to work and out casually with friends. I brought them on my work trip and have been wearing them with everything, including the days we are doing lots of walking. Will buy in more colors!"

— Marissa C. (5/5)

I really wanted these to work for me and I’m sad they don’t.

"There really isn’t any structure for arch support. My toes get squeezed together in the cap toe and the give me blisters. My feet are a regular width as I have very petite 5’2 102lbs. The website recommend to size a half size down because they run big but this was totally off. I wear high heels every single day and my feet needed a break so I decided I would finally invest in a pair of these hoping for a solution to a comfortable work shoe, which is seemingly impossible to find."

— Charlotte W. (1/5)

So stylish yet comfortable

"Rothys never let me down in style or comfort. These sling backs are on heavy rotation in my closet right now. True to size and comfortable all day long."

— Diane W. (5/5)

Beautiful and comfy

"This was my first pair of rothy’s! They maybe come up half a size larger than my regular size. They’re very comfy, classy and look great. I shall be buying more!"

— Beth T. (5/5)
