Reviews

In style

"I purchased these loafers on a whim when shopping with my daughter at the the Newbury St store. (Very helpful sales consultants. ) Did I need another pair of Rothy's? (We all know the answer to that!) But loafers are having a moment again and these were a bit more stylish than just a plain brown. I'm between a 7.5 and an 8 in Rothy's and the 8.5 fit me best. (I tried on a few pairs). I wear them without socks and have walked a distance with no issues."

— Peggy R. (5/5)

Runs smaller than the daily drivers

"I have the Daily Drivers in a 7.5 which fit perfectly, so I ordered the loafers in the same size. They are definitely tighter. (FYI I have very narrow feet which is why I find this surprising. ) The toe area looks and feels narrower than the Daily Drivers which is why my feet feel more squished. I'd love to try an 8, but am overseas, so will just wear with very thin socks. Given the material, I'm sure they'll eventually stretch with some wear."

— GENIE P. (5/5)

Perfect loafers

"These are so supportive and comfortable! Gorgeous color, too. I have really wide feet and was worried about the risk of buying a Final Sale item without sizing up- but I’m so glad I did! They are stretchy, so they accommodate my width. For a spring/summer color like this (very pale pink), ordering my usual size worked out great. But they would definitely be too snug with even thin socks. So, for the fall/winter colors, I’ll be sure to size up as other reviewers have recommended."

— Janice B. (5/5)

Great for jeans

"At first, these seemed a bit bright, but I paired them with dark jeans, and they worked together. I'm not sure they are as versatile as I'd like, but they're great quality. (They run slightly big. )"

— Jill B. (5/5)

Breaking in, but narrow

"First day of wearing was tight making it uncomfortable through the day. Not the pillow/weightless feel that I expected. The shoe starts tight and is somewhat narrow. After about 5 wears the shoe is getting more comfortable and I love the look. I commute 4 hours per day with miles of walking. I would order a wide if it were available in this style. Despite the challenges of breaking these in I still feel that I would order these shoes again."

— Olivia S. (4/5)

Pretty good

"Had to size up a half size. Pretty comfortable wore all day and night on the first day and o ly a little rubbing on the heel. The pictures make it look like it’s going to make your foot look longer but it doesn’t as much as I wanted."

— Anna T. (4/5)

Hoped to Love These

"They look good. I am not happy with the hardness of the shoe once I put my foot into it. Just not the same feel as all my other Rothy's. Can't return these due to the sale."

— SHELLEY G. (3/5)

The Penny Loafer - Black

"I love your shoes; they are very comfortable and stylish, though I would love them even more if they were a little cheaper or went on sale."

— Frimet T. (5/5)

Oh my goodness. I love

"They are so comfortable, they feel amazing on. They are a perfect fit. They are so stylish."

— Karrie M. (5/5)

Elevates any outfit. Very comfortable.

"The shoe that transitions from the office to a casual Saturday stroll at a farmer’s market with ease. So comfortable they can be worn for hours. With the added bonus of elevating any outfit so you look stylish doing whatever you choose."

— Hydraea M. (5/5)
