The rounded flats feature a perfectly tied bow at the toe, which gives them a feminine feel that can easily be dressed up or down. Like all Rothy\u2019s shoes, The Ballet Flats are made out of the brand\u2019s signature thread, which is spun out of recycled plastic water bottles. (Just because they\u2019re knit doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re stretchy, though. They have a tiny bit of give but if you run between sizes, it\u2019s best to order up.) Overall, the Rothy\u2019s Ballet Flats are classic albeit minimalist\u2014but they\u2019re not without cushioning. In fact, they feature the brand\u2019s new (removable) In Love Insole, which provides heel-to-toe comfort.<\/p>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-type=\"affiliateLink\" data-product-name=\"Rothy%27s%2C+The+Ballet+Flat\" data-product-price-value=\"135\" data-vars-info=\"Rothy%27s%2C+The+Ballet+Flat\" href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Frothys.sjv.io%2Fc%2F2372336%2F1486151%2F17533%3FsubId1%3DSTMSSY-1126213%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Frothys.com%252Fproducts%252Fglamour-red-ballet-flat-bow&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Frothys-the-ballet-flat%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/rothys.sjv.io\/c\/2372336\/1486151\/17533?subId1=STMSSY-1126213&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Frothys.com%2Fproducts%2Fglamour-red-ballet-flat-bow\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"block w-full no-pin js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rothys-Ballet-Flat-Ballerina_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Frothys.sjv.io%2Fc%2F2372336%2F1486151%2F17533%3FsubId1%3DSTMSSY-1126213%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Frothys.com%252Fproducts%252Fglamour-red-ballet-flat-bow&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Frothys-the-ballet-flat%2F&amp;event_type=click\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-type=\"affiliateLink\" data-product-name=\"Rothy%27s%2C+The+Ballet+Flat\" data-product-price-value=\"135\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"Rothy%27s%2C+The+Ballet+Flat\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/rothys.sjv.io\/c\/2372336\/1486151\/17533?subId1=STMSSY-1126213&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Frothys.com%2Fproducts%2Fglamour-red-ballet-flat-bow\"> <\/p>\n<p>Rothy&#8217;s, The Ballet Flat \u2014 $135.00<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p><strong>Available sizes:<\/strong> 5-13, in half sizes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colors:<\/strong> 5<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-shopable-pros\">\n<ul>\n<li>Adorable bow design \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Comfortable once broken in \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Machine-washable <\/li>\n<li>Made with recycled materials <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The most notable quality of The Rothy\u2019s Ballet Flats, though, is something that all of the brand\u2019s silhouettes have in common (as mentioned above): They\u2019re machine-washable. Simply remove the insoles, toss them in a cold delicate wash, and let them air dry. (Whatever you do, don\u2019t toss them in the dryer\u2014they\u2019ll melt.)<\/p>\n<h2>My review<\/h2>\n<p>Overall, I find The Ballet Flats from Rothy\u2019s to be quite comfortable, not to mention undeniably cute. Once my heels got accustomed to the material, I\u2019ve been able to wear them for longer stints, including an entire day of errands. I ordered them in a size 10.5 and, while that feels best for my heels and toes, there is some gaping around the midfoot when I take any step. Despite that, at no point do these shoes actually slip off my feet, so I think it\u2019s just part of the design.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1127567\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1127567\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1127567 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/RN-ROthys-Ballet-Flat_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1127567\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: Author<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>My biggest qualm with Rothy\u2019s Ballet Flats (and Rothy\u2019s, in general) is that they advertise as a footwear brand that requires zero break-in time. While the Rothy\u2019s Lace Up Sneakers are genuinely one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I\u2019ve ever worn, most of the brand\u2019s other silhouettes have rubbed my feet at first\u2014never to the point of being raw, though, simply because the moment I feel friction (before it becomes painful), I put a blister guard (god bless Band-Aid Hydro Seal Blister Cushions) on to prevent it from getting worse. In the instance of the Rothy\u2019s Ballet Flats, I found the navy blue-lined heel to be a smidge stiffer than I normally like and due to its height, it sits right at my Achilles, so I could feel it with every step. Over time, though, I&#8217;ve become accustomed to it, and now, I do find them to be very, very comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>The only other thing I don\u2019t love about The Ballet Flats is that, despite being knit, they\u2019re not very breathable. Every time I wore them, I had sweaty soles seemingly within seconds. That said, the material is very versatile and can be dressed up or down seamlessly. I find that the fabric works just as well for brunch and errands as it does for the office and a night out. (I\u2019m even wearing them as part of my Chiquita Banana Halloween costume\u2014they\u2019re perfect!) <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this to say, if you\u2019re ready to revisit your former favorite ballet flat trend, there\u2019s no time like the present, nor is there a more durable silhouette than Rothy\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
