Updated re: Rothys Spring/summer work clothes, shoe suggestions

[Philly Mom]

I haven’t tried Rothys. I have wanted to but I think they would be too flat for me. Historically I don’t do well with ballet flats (don’t stay on my heel). The “loader” style may work but then I’m back to looking stumpy.

Phillymom, you wear booties with pants in the summer? I think maybe I’m looking for a “shootie” or something.

They aren't ballet flats really. My feet are very difficult. I am pleasantly surprised with how well they fit. I get lots of compliments too. My foot is fussy. At times I wear booties in the summer with tapered work pants particularly on a slightly colder day. With the Rothy's now, they may take the place.

I love my Rothy’s! I brought a pair to Savannah and wore them 10-12 miles/day through the historic district. They were awesome and more comfortable than the day I wore my sneakers!!

I’m short with narrow feet. I love Toms wedge sandals. I have a closet full of shoes but reach for my Toms 90% of the time. I also find Cole Haan wedges to be comfortable and they tend to be dressier.

Toms is a good idea! I’ve always done so well with the original toms shoes. Can walk in those for miles and miles without issues. Their wedge booties are short so maybe I could get away with them even in the summer though I think they are a little casual for patient days.

Will think about the rothys..I’ve heard so many good reviews but I’ve just never found a shoe without a vamp or an ankle strap that stayed on my foot it’s difficult to imagine that changing!

I missed the closed toes. Would something like this work? They come in narrow.

I’ve tried cole Haan wedges before and they haven’t worked..
I did order a pair of pointy rothys in big cat though! It doesn’t take much to convince me on shoes . We will see!

Skechers has a knockoff Rothy. DSW carries them if you want to try on in store. I’ve never been able to wear a non-slingback flat comfortably before, but they actually stay on my feet!

I have these in a few different styles. They have enough of a wedge that you won't look stumpy and they are super comfy but look dressy on, the pics online are deceiving. I get compliments all the time (I also work in healthcare and must have closed toe shoes).

My only complaint is I usually have to add an insole after awhile as I wear barefeet and it takes a toll on the liner/sole, but that's a 3.00 fix.

I wear them with cropped pants/regular length pants.

I am 4'11" and could never wear any of the flats linked above, this wedge is about the lowest heel I ever wear.
