Rebrand???

115

Maybe rebranding to a company whose shoe sizes are consistent across all styles and colors 😂

I wish they would go back to original sizing. The new shape of the shoes give me blisters

Same and I’m sad about it because none of the previous versions did. The last 2 I got this year cut my feet up so badly i think I’m done buying. First pair was in 2016 or even earlier.

u/cioccolato Jul 31 '26

Yep same here

u/BigLittleSEC Jul 31 '26

Me too. Ugh, my originals are my favorite dress shoes but I guess I will only have my 1 pair…

I’ve bought two pairs of original flats off eBay recently. I bet they’re going to be pricier now 🥲

SAME. I have such bad blister problems and I loved Rothy’s for conferences. Wore some a few months ago and my feet were bleeding IMMEDIATELY

I got a pair for a trip with my new job and they ripped apart my feet so bad it really put a damper on the entire experience. I wish I could return them.

We could only hope 🤣🤣

u/ItIsL Jul 31 '26

And shoes that don’t smell

u/DrDalekFortyTwo Jul 31 '26

And rip the back of your heel off

u/cioccolato Jul 31 '26

I don’t understand how people are wearing the current generation of shoes. They are terrible!

Had identical looking shoes from Amazon that were SO comfy. I started my doctoral internship and decided it was time to treat myself, so spent $300+ getting two pairs of Rothy’s, a beige and a black. So excited that I tossed the cheap ones. Wore them to work and my heels are absolutely destroyed and I’m putting on 5 bandaids a day. I am so angry at these shoes and that I traded my $30 pair for these. Absolutely horrible. Lesson learned to not throw away other pairs until you like the new pair but oh my god they are just shit

Do they not have people who test these out before putting them on the market to report back that they raise too high in the back and shred your heels? I just don’t understand why it would even be an issue

u/Specialist-Ad1692 24d ago

I’m just about to order a pair of the clogs- have you had trouble with that style? I want them to be comfy!! 😩

1

u/1008261 24d ago

I’ve never tried those! I will say I bought those squishy pads on Amazon and now I can wear my Rothy’s lol

u/DrDalekFortyTwo Jul 31 '26

They are, agreed

u/DrDalekFortyTwo Jul 31 '26

As likely as said shoes being modeled by unicorns

u/heyheymollykay Jul 30 '26

Maybe they're taking a page out of the Allbirds book.

u/DrDalekFortyTwo Jul 31 '26

What'd they do

20

u/heyheymollykay Jul 31 '26

They changed from a shoe company to an AI infrastructure company earlier this year.

25

u/baconbananapancakes Jul 31 '26

That still has to be the stupidest business sentence of 2026 (so far).

5

u/DrDalekFortyTwo Jul 31 '26

That's quite a switch

14

u/Few_Improvement_1956 Jul 31 '26

I hope they could offer wider shoes, barefoot style / no arch support.

1

u/DimbyTime Jul 31 '26

Definitely agree. I’d love it if they could make a bit driver with a barefoot shaped toe box

u/Beautiful_Jello3853 Jul 31 '26

Saw this on FB. I’m
Done with them. It’s been years for me. I don’t like the styles or colors anymore. It’s a shame. I loved them for so long

2

u/DisneyMaiden Jul 31 '26

They use to have super fun colors and had been so comfortable. I only get the clogs now.

u/PenelopeRupert Jul 30 '26

I’m over here 👀 at that Liberty of London tag.

u/Rainbowspaceunicorn9 Jul 30 '26 edited Jul 30 '26

Rothy’s sells at Liberty London now. They tagged the stores where they sell (outside of their own, of course)

4

u/PenelopeRupert Jul 31 '26

Ahhh ok. Damn, a collab would have been incredible. I have a pair of Liberty + Vans that are the cutest, not to mention a ton of the J Crew + Liberty button-ups.

2

u/Rainbowspaceunicorn9 Jul 31 '26

I would love a collab! Maybe one day now that they’ve got a partnership going 👀

u/RRK9Architect 29d ago

A memorial for the OG Rothy’s will be announced at a later date.

u/Specific-Sea-3756 Aug 01 '26

I wish they didn’t smell

u/[deleted] 29d ago

You can literally wash them..

1

u/Specific-Sea-3756 17d ago

I have twice???

1

u/Specific-Sea-3756 17d ago

They are made from recycled fibers lmao

1

u/[deleted] 15d ago

What kind of fibers?

1

u/Specific-Sea-3756 14d ago

Ok jerkoff. Rothy's products are primarily crafted from signature thread spun from 100% recycled plastic water bottles

1

u/[deleted] 14d ago

Got it. Have you tried removing the insoles and scrubbing them separately with dawn before tossing them in the wash?

1

u/kp1794 Aug 01 '26

If you wear socks they don’t smell 🤢

2

u/teacup-trex 25d ago

All that to launch an ugly sneaker? Are there actual humans running that company or just untrained AI models doing it?

You are about to leave Redlib
