Are Rothy's worth the price?

[Anonymous]

I have two pairs of these Cole Haan flats and love them. I can wear them all day because they have a very slight wedge which gives support. You can dress them up or down. Amazon might have them cheaper. Try them in your typical size and half size up, sometimes they run a tad small.

Do the cole hanno have good support? I need support.
I was saving toward some Tiek or Rothys as heard they were great, glad to know before I consider purchasing. Will bionics work in most shoes?

PP on the Cole Haans... yes, they have support compared to a true flat. The slight wedge makes all the difference and it’s made of a bendable material compared to a wood wedge. I recently bought Tieks and returned them; the support was not there to justify the price.

Has anyone had their Rothys for over a year or two and through multiple washes? I’ve never worn them, but I would be hesitant to spend over $100 on a fabric shoe that will likely need to go through the washing machine. The lifespan seems short with those qualities. I know the tennis shoes I have that I throw in the wash look ready for the bin after a yr.

Get a pair of repetto ballet flats. They are comfortable and can polished routinely (at least the black and brown can be) to keep them looking great be resoled as needed.

I ordered and returned Rothys as they just didn't look polished enough to me. Also, I have slightly wider feet and they didn't fit me well.

I love my rothy’s because they are washable but I did replace the washable insert they come with with some Dr Scholls ones.

If I’m standing for a while, I find a low heel (1”) much more comfortable than a true flat. Your mileage may vary.

I’m another Cole Hahn fan for comfortable, yet stylish shoes.

If you wear trousers, you can always go for a boot or bootie, which is easier to find with that low heel and some support. Some even have enough room for supportive insoles.

No: I have and they’ve been fine - they’re plastic, not fabric.
