Rothy’s Review

By. Meredith Biesinger

What teacher doesn’t need a comfortable pair of shoes? I know I do! As a teacher, I spend most of my day on my feet, and style and comfort are the two things that I look for when it comes to shoes. If you’re an educator looking for a stylish yet comfortable shoe…look no further! 

My First Impression

Being a parent and a teacher, I love a bargain! So, when a co-worker told me about Rothy’s, I went onto their website and looked at the price right away. I thought that they were too expensive, with prices from $125-$165 for a pair of shoes, that I was going to wear out quickly! Right? Wrong! Rothy’s are an investment for your tired teacher feet, and if you’re a teacher, you can get them on sale here!

Why Rothy’s?

Have you heard of Rothy’s? I know that when I got my first pair back in 2019, I hadn’t heard much about the Rothy brand. 

Here’s what you need to know about Rothy’s: 

• Rothy’s offers stylish, comfortable flats for girls and women.
• Rothy’s are earth-friendly! They are made from post-consumer plastic water bottles and other sustainable materials.
• They currently offer four different styles for women: The Flat, The Point, The Loafer, and the Sneaker
• Rothy’s are machine washable! (YES!)
• Rothy’s have a price point of anywhere from $125-$165 depending on the style that you choose
• They also offer a loafer style for girls. They are $65 and are in sizes 10-4

I used to be a “Toms teacher.” Toms have been a staple in my wardrobe for years! The only problem I ran into with Toms was that they wear down very quickly when you are on your feet all day, and there’s no way to clean them either. 

The Styles

I did my research and bought a pair of the point style. I love these shoes! I still only own the point, so I can’t speak for any other style that they have. I would like to try the flats for my next pair.

Colors

Rothy’s offers a variety of colors and prints to match your wardrobe and your personality! I love a fun pop of color, so I chose red Rothy’s, and they’re still as vibrant today as they were two years ago.

Sizing

My shoe size has always been between 7.5 and 8, so I decided to purchase an 8, which fit beautifully. Rothy’s has an excellent return policy as well, so just in case you need a different size, no worries! Free shipping + free returns make it as easy as can be!

Teacher Comfort 

When it comes to shoes or clothing, I am always looking for style and comfort! Rothy’s has both. As a teacher, you are on your feet a lot! I am always walking around, checking on my students and taking them where they need to go. All teachers need a comfy pair of shoes that are stylish and durable. 

Low Maintenance 

The best part of these shoes is that they are so low maintenance! When they’re dirty, simply put them in the washing machine! You don’t need to do anything special. Pro tip: When they go in the wash, it needs to be on cold water, and you do need to let them air dry, so give yourself a couple of days to ensure that they are dry before you wear them again. It is essential that you always wash them in cold water and never warm water, to avoid shrinking. 

Where to Purchase?

You can purchase Rothy’s here. They have so many fabulous colors and shoe types that you will have to stop yourself from going with several pairs. Shipping is always free on orders over $30, which is a major plus to me!

Durability + Sustainability=A Win! 

Rothy’s last a very long time! They are an investment in your feet and your comfort. They are also made of recycled materials, so when you purchase a pair of Rothy’s, you are inv
