Rothy's Review | Everything You Need To Know Before You Buy | Are They Worth It?

[@stacmnx8241]

I echo everyone’s comments. I really appreciate the thorough review especially when one can’t go to a store to inspect them. Based on your review, it is probably not something I am going to purchase (I have wide feet and I would not like to see my feet through the material). Thank you for taking the time to review!

[@Chicprofessor]

I'm glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching!

Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@MeetPenelope]

Thank you for a thorough review! I've been curious about these since I first saw the ads for them. I love the look of the points and thought they would be cute, but since you can't try before you buy, I have hesitated. Also, the price is high for a simple flat. I wear heels to teach all day, and flats can be surprisingly difficult because my back ends up hurting. Since they are so flat with no arch support, they're probably not going to work. Too bad, because I like the concept.🙁 Thanks for all the info!💜

[@Chicprofessor]

You're welcome! I do wish they had a little bit of a heel or some more support but going up in size and wearing an arch support did help me. It is hard to buy without being able to try on so I'm glad this helped!

[@crimeandclaws]

I shouldnt have to "add" anything to a $150 pair of recycled water bottles. I wanted to love these but they just feel weird and scratchy, never fully fit right (ive tried 3 pairs) and have 0 cushion. I think I'm gonna bite the bullet on Tieks.

[@MPam1619]

The rug looks cushy, but it doesn't really allow a clear view of how the shoes fit your feet. Maybe try a bare floor. Thanks for taking your time to share.

[@Chicprofessor]

You’re right! We were in a temporary home when I filmed this and it was the only thing I could use but if you send me a DM on Instagram I’m happy to send some other videos or pictures that might be more clear. Thanks for watching!

[@cynthiadenisov4338]

15:54 "...they dry out pretty quickly" I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying they actually dry out while you're wearing them or like if you lift your heels out a little bit when sitting down?

[@Chicprofessor]

I’ve found that if I’m wearing them outside in the heat and then I go inside where it is cooler any sweat dries on it’s own while I’m wearing them! If I step in puddles or something while commuting I’ll often lift my heel out a bit while I’m sitting or kick them off under my desk for a bit and they tend to dry out pretty quickly that way. I hope that helps!

[@americanjedi7749]

$100 plus for slip on shoes made of recycled plastic. 😳. I’d say a little out of your average blue collar person budget.

[@Chicprofessor]

Definitely! They can be an investment for sure!

[@jennifermcgoldrick6323]

I only have a pair because a friend who makes a lot of money by even NYC standards ordered a pair that were too small on her even though she ordered a half size up. She passed them to me, and they are bar far my favorite pair of shoes. I would save up for a second pair next year (I mean what's the point during quarantine?) that's how much I love them. I can walk ten miles in them no problem (I don't need arch support so very flat is comfortable for me) and they machine wash beautifully, and when i'm in a rush I just clean them in the bath and by the next day they are dry.

[@Chicprofessor]

@@jennifermcgoldrick6323 I think they are the perfect NYC commuting shoe!

[@reletaortiz2026]

@@Chicprofessor one year later, in NYC, you now need running shoes & combat boots for sure!

I believe they should be a lower price, you paying for recycling bottles.. REALLY. People $100 plus this is just STUPID..I would love to purchase a pair but NOT FOR $100...Just can't get over recycling bottles very person know cheap labor is over Seas THIS is not RIGHT Also Not my money..

Angie Carter I'm so glad!! I hope you love them when you get them 😃

[@ella_encantada]

Have you considered everlane shoes? I’m in the market for a comfortable pair of flats. I’m thinking of ordering a pair of rothys.

[@Chicprofessor]

Ella N yes! I had the day heels and mules but I didn't love either and sold them. I tried the loafers and day glove flats as well. The loafers were fine but the day gloves were so thin. I didn't love how much you could see my toes in them, and didn't like how quickly they wore, and didn't find the cut as flattering on my feet. So the rothys were definitely a better choice for me.

[@Chicprofessor]

I can't get enough of these shoes! Make sure to check out the discount code in the description box :)

[@fashioncollectionitaly7230]

Wow Nice And beautiful

[@GH-kx6xf]

These shoes are georgous. Does the material around the shoes irritate the skin on the top of your feet at any time?

[@Chicprofessor]

Aimee I have very sensitive skin and haven't had any issues with the material at all 😃 Thanks for watching!

[@GH-kx6xf]

@@Chicprofessor that's great. And also in terms of sweatability which you mentioned. Have you noticed any odor retention in the shoes or even with your feet wearing them in the heat?

[@Chicprofessor]

Nope, I haven't noticed any odor. They're been great for this summer heat!

[@amiestafford]

Aimee Very comfortable for me!

[@bargain.hunting.blonde]

I have always been intrigued by these, particular the point in the leopard print, but my office is super split on them. Some people love them and others hate them. It probably is because everyone needs different arch support based on the shape of their foot.

[@Chicprofessor]

Bargain.hunting.blonde yup, probably! It’s a bummer they’re so hard to try on!

[@amiestafford]

I actually have high arches but still love my Rothys!

[@ellieb115]

Thanks for the review and all the points given. I normally find that a shoe of this material is less likely to prevent odor than a high quality leather usually. Have you found that these have made your feet stinky at any time ever after wearing them? xo

[@Chicprofessor]

Nope, they are quite breathable so no issue with odor :)

[@lindamedina4329]

Hi what arch support inserts did you find fit in the points? TIA

[@Chicprofessor]

Hi! I had a different one in the video but didn't love them as they did not cover enough of my feet. Right now I'm liking these and have been using them over top the insoles that come with the shoes because I went a full size bigger. If you went a half size bigger or true to size they would likely work best with the insole removed: amzn.to/2N1NWPA

[@anastasiablashkova4936]

@chicprofessor Where do you usually buy an arch support?

[@Chicprofessor]

I use the superfeet ones or Dr. Scholl’s

[@fitnesswithallyson]

Thanks for your review! Can you share a link to the arch supports you used for the pointed toe?

[@Chicprofessor]

Thanks for watching! Sure thing. I just bought them at CVS. If you have small feet the ones I got will work but I would not suggest them for anything over a 7. amzn.to/2YiRyyd those are the ones I got and the reason I don't suggest them for larger feet is these just fit my feet when it comes to the round part sitting at the top of my toes (they do not go the full length of the shoe) I imagine it would be uncomfortable if ti stopped mid way on the ball of the foot for larger sizes. These however, might work: amzn.to/2y5aqGa because it end before the ball of the feet. I do really like how minimal these are and they fit nicely in the shoes. I hope that helps!

[@debbienewman9971]

I won’t buy these since I heard you say they will cut your heel.

[@Chicprofessor]

They definitely can at first! Once you break them in they're fine :) They need no other breaking in which is nice!

[@shalomG29]

Maybe you got the wrong size. I have 7 pairs and no adjustment needed.

[@Chicprofessor]

@@shalomG29 I definitely think going up a size helps. I haven't had much trouble with mine but did have a bit of rubbing on some of them at first- I do have very sensitive skin though!

Overpriced crap

[@tammyt.b.1078]

I just dont understand the price for recycled bottles. With Tieks, they provide a type of massage for arches , also causes the arches to strengthen. The soles are firm and comfortable made from beautifully tanned leather.

Interesting, I’ve been curious about this brand b/c of their Instagram ads. I think based on your review, I’d probably have the best luck with the loafer. I really like that they are washable. 👌🏻

[@Chicprofessor]

Grace andherhandbag I think you'd like the loafer. And yes! Perfect for running after the kiddos 😃

[@gemmaboyce6179]

Hi, because these are made from recycled plastic water bottles do they ever tend to make your feet smell?

[@Chicprofessor]

Hi! They are quite breathable! I don't find that my feet sweat any more than in any other shoes (probably less than) and I haven't had any issues with smell! Luckily, if they got a bit smelly you can easily wash them 😀

[@PolishedProfessionals]

I have heard a lot going up a half size is the best, but I am so sad they don't make bigger sizes.

[@Chicprofessor]

Yeah, it would be nice if they had a larger size but they're 5-12 which I think is pretty good!

Chicprofessor thanks so much for the info!! I think I may have tried them and they were too small for my size 10 feet... even though they say 6-10. Hmm maybe I’ll just stick with my odor eaters soft and slim liners. LOVE those!!

[@PictureItPF]

I wish I had seen this before I placed my order! I sized a half size up for the loader and the point - since I have wider feet. The loafer is amazing, but the point does pinch as you stated. I plan on buying more of the loafers for sure.

[@Chicprofessor]

Can you exchange it for one more size up? They're both great :)

[@PictureItPF]

@@Chicprofessor I doubt I can at this point, because I had figured maybe they would stretch out and I've worn them multiple times - but as your video also pointed out - they keep going back to their original shape. However, I may sell them on Poshmark, I hadn't thought about selling them and getting a different pair until I heard you say you bought yours pre-loved. Sheesh, you're giving me all sorts of ideas!

[@Chicprofessor]

Picture It Tina I would definitely try to sell them! I bet even after the commission poshmark takes you can get back at least half of what you spent 😀 They hold their value well!

[@jennifermcgoldrick6323]

That's actually how I ended up with a pair that are my favorite shoes. My friend who makes a LOT more money than me ordered a half size up in the pointy style and they were too tight for her so she gave to me after a month or two of not returning them 😂 I normally wear a 7.5 and have narrow to medium feet, and full size up - 8.5 - fits me though is a little roomy, so I wash them pretty often.

[@peryalcala]

Thank you so much for the info your review is awesome, I also wear 5 1/2 . I love all all styles and i want a pair so bad but i believe they are a bit pricey ( i mean they are probably worth the price ) but still can really afford them now. 😟

[@Chicprofessor]

esperanza Alcala I'm so glad it was helpful! They are pricy and still are quite pricy pre-loved but you can sometimes find them for almost half off and since they can be washed it might be the way to go!
