When I first heard of Rothy's years ago, I was immediately intrigued by its sustainable, machine-washable styles. Since then, the brand has only grown in popularity, becoming a reliable choice for commuters, frequent travelers and anyone seeking durable, low-maintenance footwear. Our editors (myself included) swear by several of the its designs, thanks to their non-existent break-in period, all-day comfort and breathable materials. If you've yet to try the brand out, there's an unofficialy Rothy's sale happening right now, and several of our favorite pairs including The Buckle Slide and The Square Mary Jane are up to 48% off.

Rothy's Final Few sale section features highly rated styles in select colorways—like The Loafer and The Point—at varying reduced prices. These discounted pairs are on their way out for good (each purchase is final sale), making it the perfect opportunity to try out some of the brand's beloved designs without paying full price. Up ahead, find out which Rothy's shoes our editors own and love, alongside other standout styles that are available until stock runs out.
I picked up this pair of buckle slides back in early spring, and have worn them on multiple occasions since—to the pool, to rooftop happy hour and while running errands around my neighborhood. They look way sleeker than most slide sandals I've owned, but they're extremely comfortable. I noticed the cushioned support from the firm, contoured footbed the very first time I slipped them on. Plus, the straps don't ever dig into my skin. I can walk in these for hours and not feel the slightest bit of pain at the end of the day. They are currently discounted in black (my chosen color), alongside two other neutral shade options.
At the beginning of the summer, our special projects editor Jennifer Ferrise was looking for a block heel sandal that she could wear around New York City without getting blisters. She landed on this pair from Rothy's—her very first purchase from the brand—and was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and lightweight they were. 'They have a plush, cushioned footbed and have never hurt my feet, even after walking around all day. I love that they look polished enough for both the daytime and evening, and that you can also toss them in the washer for a quick and easy clean,' she says.
Senior updates editor Karen Tietjen has owned this loafer from Rothy's for quite some time, and still wears them to this day. "I have a wider foot and can attest that these are comfy (and work way better for my foot shape than The Point flats, as much as it pains me to admit). As someone who refuses to wear casual sneakers without socks, these are a lightweight, breathable closed-toe option that's great for that in-between weather around spring and fall." They're currently discounted in the pictured Ecru colorway.
Deputy editor Jane Sung loves wearing these Rothy's flats to round out a polished outfit. 'I wear them everywhere—running errands, traveling and to dinners out. They're just so comfortable. Between the woven material and rounded square toe shape, they're a sophisticated take on classic Mary Janes,' she says.
They've also quickly become one of commerce editor Katherine Louie's most-worn pairs of shoes, since the fabric is flexible and breathable. 'I was able to wear them right out of the box without experiencing any uncomfortable rubbing or blisters," she says. "I've washed these flats several times (living in New York City is hard on shoes!) and they retain their shape well and still look brand new.'
If you've still got some summer travel plans on the docket, this slip-on sandal may be worth packing in your suitcase. It features comfortable and supportive insoles that won't cause blisters, no matter how many steps you're tracking in a day. In addition, its flexible upper offers a secure fit while the EVA outsole ensures you won't feel weighed down. If they get a little dirty on your adventures, just toss them in the wash and air-dry for a like-new look. All five colors, including the pictured colorway, are currently discounted.
Rothy's also makes comfortable everyday sneakers. Like most of the brand's designs, this pair includes supportive features to keep your feet free from pain, like a contoured footbed, adjustable laces, sturdy outsoles and a padded ankle collar with proper cushioning. The sneaker is also available in women's sizes for as little as $59 right now.
Like many compact Rothy's styles, this ballet flat can easily be thrown into your bag for when you need a quick shoe change. It features a rounded toe box, heel-to-toe cushioning and sculpted outsoles for superior comfort, whether you're heading to and from the office or running to post-work activities. Three color options are all sale for $99, including the bold red shade shown above.
Loafers are a great transitional shoe to take you from summer to autumn. This style from Rothy's has solid grip and durability and a plush footbed for a shoe that's lightweight, springy and stable across a variety of surfaces. Several colorways are included in the sale, but the discounts vary depending on color selection.
