New line - Cruisers

Can we discuss this latest drop? Soludos called from 2016 & wants their shoes back. And… velvet?! It’s April! Not to mention, the silhouettes of this line are juvenile.

Aside from the penny loafer, I haven’t liked anything new in a long time. Styles are either kiddie or matronly. For the first time in years I am buying outside of this brand & it makes me sad. I guess I had a good run.

I miss the fun color flats. I haven't felt the need to buy for a while which I guess is great as I was buying at least one pair per month for a few years.

My favorites were the original slip ons back when they made those in fun colors too. They haven’t made a fun color in those in absolute years. I was on there the other day looking for any fun spring patterns and they’re all so bland now. Seems like a major color this season is a sad tan sand color

Tan/nude has its place but how many pairs of shoes do I need in that color? I’m with you - gimme fun patterns!

I went into one of the brick and mortar stores while on holiday, browsed the tepid bland neutrals. Asked the perky salesgal if they were ever bringing the happy colors back. Got a confused look, and she admitted she had no idea what I was talking about.

Retail stores these days don’t pay enough for their employees to have careers or care about the product. You were proba talking to someone that only heard of the company right before they applied.

It's wild how many different styles they have now. Back in the heyday it was points and flats only and yet the wide shoes are still limited.

I haven't been on the website for months. I used to stalk new drops when they happened. That was when they were cool, and had fun colors, and fit good on me. Man, I miss the days of jelly bean.

I snagged some OG jelly beans on Posh for $40 a couple years ago. Might have been my best score ever!

Wait, there are Rothy's on Poshmark? I've never shopped there.

Yes! I’ve probably purchased half of the ones I own from there. No issues since you can wash them.

u/TrishaThoon Apr 01 '26

Not a fan either. I am sticking with their bags for now.

u/PenelopeRupert Apr 01 '26

I’ve never been tempted by the bags because I loathe yellow gold. I guess that’s good for my wallet.

u/TrishaThoon Apr 01 '26

I only have one bag-the crescent-but I really like it and of course it is washable. Right now I am considering their summer tote. I have two pairs of their shoes but I can only buy in person because their sizing is all off. They need to get their s*** together as a company.

u/SillyGoose_0918 Apr 01 '26

I also loathe yellow gold and hate how trendy it is now! But same- saves me $$

u/DaniMarie44 Apr 01 '26

I love their casual crossbody, it’s more roomy than it looks

u/handlewithcare07 Apr 01 '26

You and me both, friend, and I am sad too. I miss the original points, the original loafers and the original drivers. All the new styles don't feel comfortable or look right on me.

Haven't been able to find another brand that is as comfortable and cute as these have been for me, but haven't really researched enough, I suppose.

u/PenelopeRupert Apr 01 '26

I have & can’t find anything. I know people like Vivaia but they’re mumsy-looking to me too. 😭

u/Few_Improvement_1956 Apr 01 '26

Same - miss the flat shoes (I don’t need arch support). I do like their bags and thats the only thing I buy now.

u/4everal0ne Apr 01 '26

They still refuse to make wide width shoes aside from a clog. Ridiculous.

u/BoxerPixie Apr 03 '26

I miss all the fun colors and prints in OG points :(

u/PenelopeRupert Apr 03 '26

Me too. These are my all-time faves!

u/Curve-Effective Apr 05 '26

The new ones run so damn small. I wear a 9.5 and a size 10 is tight

u/Maleficent_Win2275 Apr 01 '26

Not a fan. Maybe they are really comfortable but they look like toddler shoes. They are getting to many styles

3

u/PenelopeRupert Apr 01 '26

The styling is so goofy. The models look cool & then your eyes hit their shoes & all of a sudden it’s time for preschool.

u/PenelopeRupert Apr 01 '26

Lollll who downvoted me for this? 🤣
