I have them in the neutral Ecru color, but they come in a ton of gorgeous colors — if I were going into the office regularly, I'd be tempted to grab them in several shades. Psst — check out my colleagues' full Rothy's flats review for more deets!

Mytour Shopping writer Emma Lord shares her experience, saying, "You’ve likely seen these shoes all over Instagram, especially the heeled version, with posts boasting about dancing the night away in them! And let me tell you, they're not wrong. These flats didn’t dig into my heels at all, and I could walk in them as easily as I would in sneakers—perhaps even better, as they are incredibly lightweight. I wore them during a trip to London where I walked over 20,000 steps a day, and they held up perfectly in the rain (and believe me, it rained a lot). They’re easy to clean, too—just wash off any muck with soap and water. I’m thrilled to have finally found flats so comfortable that I’m tempted to buy them in every color."
Highlighted review: "As soon as I put these on, I knew they were comfortable. This is huge for me because I suffer from plantar fasciitis, so finding shoes that work for me is tough. Vivaia has become my go-to brand because of their excellent arch support, and these flats didn’t disappoint. They felt like walking on clouds. Perfect height, stylish for summer, and my feet are happy." —Matthew R.
