Happy Friday! We made it through another week. I've been looking for a pair of low profile sneakers. I've been eyeing a few other brands, but settled on Rothy's to try first because of the color and price. At $145 these aren't exactly cheap, but I was eyeing another pair that was $100 more! 😳 It made Rothy's look reasonable.
For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in sneakers.
When I took these out of the box, I could tell right away they were going to be a bit narrow. I had to loosen up all the laces and swapped out my thick socks for a pair of thin socks. That was the only way I could get these on. My thick Bombas socks were too much of a struggle.
Other than being slightly narrow, everything else was a perfect fit.
Rothy's ships their shoes in just the cardboard box to be more environmentally friendly. There's minimal packaging. No plastic bag, just the box and tissue liner.
I did like that they came with an extra set of laces. The polka dots add a touch of playfulness to an otherwise sporty look.
The outside feels like a velvety suede finish. It's hard to believe these are knit from plastic bottles. I swear it's like magic. I would have never guessed in a hundred years these are made out of plastic bottles.
One thing I didn't love are the soles. They felt a little bit too thin. I prefer a bit more cushion underneath my feet. I will say these look amazing. I love the stripes and retro vibes. I love that you can swap out the laces for a different look. I just wish they were a little bit wider and the sole a little more substantial. They would have been a keeper. I will keep looking for a pair similar to the Ivy Sneaker.
Do you have a favorite pair of low profile stripe sneakers? Let me know in the comments below. That's it for me! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
