Want to know if Rothy's shoes really live up to the hype? This honest Rothy's review will help you to decide if these women's shoes made from plastic bottles are right for you!

When I shared over on Instagram that I'd FINALLY given in and bought my first pair of Rothy's shoes……the reaction surprised me.  I knew that these shoes had a strong fan base but….wow did I underestimate how much y'all LOVE these comfortable flats from sustainable materials.

Frankly, until I did a little research…..I didn't understand what the big deal about one pair of shoes like these was.  Weren't they just……shoes?  Nope, Rothy's are a whole……movement.  Their shoes are made from sustainable materials (plastic water bottles to be exact) in San Francisco and their manufacturing process is set up to minimize waste.  In addition…..each pair of shoes is made to be completely machine washable and durable (so you get more uses out of them).

Rothy's Review: Wondering if these popular sustainable shoes are worth the money? This review is extensive!

Now, all this SOUNDS great right? But are they REALLY washable shoes? Are they REALLY the comfortable shoes that they claim to be?

An Honest Rothy's Review

Now, I'm hard on shoes.  From years of teaching to looking for shoes for long days on my feet as part of my Disneyland outfits……when I'm looking for comfortable shoes, I'm REALLY looking for comfortable.  My first pair of Rothy's flats? I tried their sneakers.  And my first time wearing them? A 14 hour visit to Disneyland.  Yup.  Why not go all the way with a long time first wear.  In fact, I didn't even break them in.  Not even a little bit.  I pulled my Rothy's sneakers straight out of the box and wore them.  I figured….it was for research for this Rothy's review, right? Not going to lie, I brought an alternate pair of shoes just in case….but the good news? I never needed them.

When it comes to overall comfort? I was pleasantly surprised.  Yup, I wore them ALLLLLLL day.  And I got a LOT of messages from y'all.  So many teachers saying that Rothy's are your go to women's shoes for a long day of teaching.  I can see WHY these are on regular rotation in your teaching outfits.  They're cute and comfortable.  From long walks to a full day in the classroom, I can see why a lot of people recommended them.

So, it's a yes from me.  I love these shoes, in fact…..I just ordered another pair of the sneakers and I'm eyeing the Driver loafers.  Do I think they're worth the money? Yes I do.  Are these investment shoes? Yes they are.  But to me? Worth every penny for comfort and for amount of use.  I wear mine A LOT.

Rothy's Shoes : Styles Available

Rothy's shoes come in a number of different styles…..all with the same basic idea.  Comfort and easily cleanable.

Rothy's Flats: The flat from Rothy's are probably the classic pair you are thinking of when you imagine the brand.  These classics have a rounded toe box and come in both classic colors and prints.

Rothy's The Point: If you love a more elevated look and a pointed toe….then these may be the best shoes for you.  They come in some lovely neutrals, but my personal favorite? The leopard print.

Rothy's The Loafer: A great loafer is perfect for every wardrobe, and these are no exception.  They're classic, fun and come in a great set of prints and colors.

Rothy's The Driver: These are a newer addition to the Rothy's shoes line up, and the ones that I'm eyeing.  I love love love their style.  Driver shoes are a classic style, and I love the idea that I can wear these in fun colors to add a little pizazz to a traditional shoe.

Rothy's The Square: Another version of the flat? These ballet flats come with with a stylish square toe (they come in some really fun colors and combinations like the tuxedo that really plays up on the shape of the flat).

Rothy's Mary Jane: If you're looking for a pair of shoes inspired by classic mary janes…..these grown up ones come in two styles…..one style comes with a square toe and the other option has a round toe with a bow on the top of the foot (I'm personally partial to this one, it's so cute)!

The Sneaker: The slip on sneaker style is the first pair of Rothy's I ordered and love.  They come in whole sizes and a half size option.  I ordered my regular shoe size, and they were a perfect fit (they do have free shipping and free returns if you misjudge the sizing).

The Lace Up: Another great sneaker option? Rothy's recently added another sneaker option….with traditional laces.  It comes in a ton of neutral colors, so is perfect for basic daily wear.

Rothy's The Ankle Boot: If you want a boot in the same knit upper fabric as Rothy's other shoes, then these popular Ankle Boots might be for you (warning they sell out quickly, so grab your size when you see them).

The Chelsea: The Chelsea boots are more of a sneaker boot, and more casual (they have a light sole like a sneaker).  I love that they give you a bit of an elevated vibe and are as comfortable as can be.

Rothy's The Merino Slipper: Looking for soft merino wool slippers? Then THESE are ideal.  They're made with the same sustainable practices as the rest of rothy's shoes.

Rothy's Review : Are They REALLY Machine Washable?

My biggest question……are these REALLY washable? Because one of the things that attracted me to Rothy's was that I could wash them and wear with them looking as good as new.

Rothy's Review: These sustainable shoes are SUPER popular....but are they worth the money? This review shares if they're comfortable and whether they are truly machine washable!

I dove straight in with my Rothy's sneakers.  I wore them for an entire weekend trip to Disneyland with Lydia.  And yes, they got fairly dirty the first day of wear(heavy use will do that to a pair of shoes).  In fact, I was sort of questioning my decision midway through the weekend.  These shoes weren't cheap….did I ruin them immediately?

I came home from our weekend, and decided to follow the instructions EXACTLY.  I took out the removable insole first, and I used a stain treatment on the spots I was worried might have stained (this one to be exact).  Then I washed both the insoles and the shoes in cold water in the washing machine (using a regular mild detergent).  No hot water, and no dryer.  I put balled up socks into the toe box to help my shoes hold their shape and left them to air dry for about 24 hours after washing.  And guess what? As good as new!

So the conclusion to my long overdue Rothy's review? I love these shoes, they're worth every penny.  What do YOU think of their sustainable shoe line?

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans 🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans with your kids.⠀

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀
