The plastic knit is made from 100% recycled water bottles in a seamless design that weighs practically nothing. It feels like wearing hotel-room slippers, if those slippers fit perfectly. The soles of the Rothy's flats are made from a thin, flexible rubber that is also super light and flexible.

Behind every Rothy's product is the innovative use of recycled, bio-based and transformed materials, from the single-use bottles made into our signature thread to algae-based foams, natural rubber, hemp fiber, and the marine plastic collected from land within 30 miles of coastlines and waterways.

They range in price from $125 to $165 a pair and are made of sustainable materials - recycled plastic water bottles, foam, and rubber soles. This, according to Rothy's Twitter bio, makes the shoes both “wildly” comfortable and hardy enough to be machine washable.

Rothy's shoe styles Rothy's makes six types of flats: The Flat, The Point, The Point II, The Square Mary Jane, The Point Mary Jane, and The Square. Their four types of loafers include The Loafer, The Almond Loafer, The Driver, and as of recently, The Lug Loafer.

Part of the job of shoes is to absorb impact as we walk, but bad shoes (or no shoes) can throw the whole body out of alignment. If shoes don't have enough padding or don't allow for an even stride, pain is an almost inevitable side effect. The ankles, knees, hip joints and lower back are all affected by bad shoes.
