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?

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀
But the real question is…..which Bluey episode i But the real question is…..which Bluey episode is your favorite?!?We are off to play keepie uppie and pass the parcel at Oogie Boogie Bash. 🤣#bluey #oogieboogiebash
🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney
Because it inspires me to see runners who look lik Because it inspires me to see runners who look like me, with bodies like mine, training and finding joy in the process.I hope this reminds you that there isn’t one strong / athletic body type.inspired by @shelbysaywhatblog who shares her journey with size 12 fitness here’s to the next run. < and if you want info on these curve friendly workout items…..comment LINK — I’ll send them to your messages >
Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
