One of my favorite follows is @NatGawd and over the past year I have watched her profile transform as she has gotten into hosting and worked with major brands, such as Marc Jacobs and Barneys New York. The best thing she has influenced me on is a pair of Rothy’s Mary Jane flats. I am here to keep the Rothy’s train going and try my best to influence you on the shoe’s just like she did for me.
To give some background, my feet weren’t meant for shoes. Whether it’s sneakers, flip-flops, or anything in between, my feet will get irritated by them. I guess I wasn’t meant for walking and I was meant to be carried everywhere? I can’t help that the princess life chose me through my feet!
However, this becomes a bummer when I need to walk far … like on vacation. Last month I was in Europe for two weeks and so I needed to make sure I had something not only cute but walkable to pack with me. That’s where Rothy’s came in; not only were they easy to style from day to night, but they were comfortable for long days. For the first few days, I did still wear band-aids on my ankles as a precaution, but they never gave me blisters that would have affected my trip. Even now that I am home, I can wear these shoes for a walk around the block, to date night, or work.
When I originally went into the store, I was able to get a full run down on the shoes and what makes them so comfortable. Their team was helpful and clearly were as big of fans of the brand as any. What the team at the store told me is that Rothy’s are made from recycled plastic materials, this makes them eco-friendly but also durable. Despite being plastic you can pop them in the washer (just not the dryer to keep the structure of the plastic) and they can be refreshed whenever necessary. However, since they are plastic, they don’t expand or mold to your feet like a Birkenstock would, so it is best to go in and try a few styles to make sure you are getting a pair that will be with you for some time. My specific style, the Square Toe Mary Janes, feature an additional in-sole insert for extra arch support and comfort and come in a variety of colors. While I was shopping for a neutral, everyday pair, if you are looking for the perfect red flat, Rothy’s has them in stock and ready. The additional in-sole definitely breaks them away from any other type of flat since as we know this is another hurdle to trying to wear flat shoes for too long.
This fall and winter I am trying to up my style by moving away from sneakers wherever I can. Rothy’s are the perfect solution to this because I no longer have to turn to sneakers as my most comfortable shoe. Next on my list, I want to try the Rothy’s Clogs because they are the perfect mix of sleek and versatile.
This Christmas be sure to see plenty of pairs of Rothys on my wishlist!
