Finding The Best Working Shoe

A Review For The #everydaybosslady

When I come home from a wedding day, my feet are always killing me!! Can anyone else relate?! After my post-wedding day routine, I still feel like my feet are swollen! I thought I was wearing comfortable flats for weddings, however, they obviously are not doing the job. So, the search for the ultimate comfortable wedding shoe began! After A LOT of research and polling other photographers, I decided to do a little experiment with Tieks vs Rothy’s! The results are in and I have FINALLY found a comfortable shoe! Here is what I found!

 

The contestants

Tieks are known for being a ballet shoe, reinvented. They are made from Italian Leather that is marketed to be comfortable, flexible, durable, and of course stylish!  Tieks are known to stretch and mold to your feet. Pretty neat right?! It’s as close second to getting a custom shoe! Everyone raves about this shoe, so I decided to try them in Pink Ballerina!Tieks vs. Rothy's: A Review For The Every Day Boss Lady

 

 

Rothy’s are known for being a versatile shoe, similar to a sneaker, but more stylish. They are made from Recycled Water Bottles, creating an Earth-friendly product. Rothy’s are marketed as being machine washable, blister-free, and provide all-weather comfort. They come in three styles: The Flat, The Point, and The Loafer.  I decided to try The Point in black!

The Shopping Experience

Both shoes have an AWESOME online website that was easy to navigate. They both have easy return policies and free shipping which was important to me because I wanted to make sure I had the right style and size.

I liked the Tieks website a little bit more because the menu bar was just right there in front of you. It was obvious to get to where you wanted to go and shop the product. The Rothy’s menu bar is more minimalistic in the upper left-hand corner. It just was one extra step to get to where you wanted to be. Overall, it was SO easy to purchase both the Tieks and Rothy online.

 

 

 

The Packaging

When my Rothy shoes arrived, they shipped in a very clean box wrapped in paper. Very Eco-Friendly and minimalistic. It really made you focus on the shoes and their mission to create a recyclable product!

 

When my Tieks arrived, they truly got me excited for what was inside. It was like opening a present! The Tieks were in a tiny box, which I couldn’t believe that the shoes were inside! It seemed too small! Once opened a handwritten note awaited me to enjoy my new kicks! The shoes were packaged in a teal box with an adorable reusable flower detail on top! It truly was an exciting experience.

 

 

Sizing

I normally wear a 6.5 shoe size but due to reviews, decided to go up a size on both shoes. Rothy’s come in full and half sizes. Online, they say there are true to size. However, the shoe didn’t fit properly. Rothy’s are very narrow, because of this I had to return my size 7 for a 7.5. I would definitely say to go up a full size if you do not have super narrow feet. Going through the return process, however, was a breeze. They immediately shipped out the new size. Once the new size arrived, I felt like the shoe was now too big lengthwise, but still narrow in the toes. Although adorable, for a wedding day, this would not be ideal for me.

Tieks only come in full sizes. I ordered a size 7 and they fit great. Because Tieks are known to stretch and mold to your feet, this size would be perfect for me to do so with wear.

 

Style

Both shoes are super cute! The Rothy’s have a more business chic look to them and were surprisingly soft for being made out of water bottles! I was a little nervous when I read that they were made out of water bottles because water bottles are so hard and plasticky. But this was not the case, the material was soft and surprisingly comfortable! I was so disappointed that they were just not a good fit for me. The Tieks, I thought were going to be a little more ballet-ish but they actually are a solid shoe and really cute! The leather is SO soft and squishy with the right amount of ankle support. They’re truly like wearing little clouds on your feet! But without the fluff!

 

The Conclusion…

In the end, the Tieks won for me. Both shoes are cute and comfortable, however, the Rothy’s were just too narrow for me and did not have enough support. They almost felt like they were too flexible in their material. On a wedding day, where I’m running and climbing around I need a stylish shoe that is both supportive and comfortable. I’m SO excited to wear my new shoes for this year’s wedding season!
