About Us

Why doesn’t the perfect flat exist? Why can’t beautiful shoes also be kind to our planet?
These questions led our founders to spend four years criss-crossing the globe in search of research, development, deep conversation and prototypes. Through countless trials, tests and creative problem-solving, Rothy’s was born. We are an innovative design company determined to approach shoemaking in a way that had never been attempted before.
The founders each brought unique sensibilities to this quest, combining sharp business judgment, artistic vision and refined aesthetic taste. Together their boundless vision ignited a movement to reimagine everyday footwear.

How we think

Believing in endless possibilities is baked into our DNA. We love to celebrate those who share this ethos and make meaningful change in their communities. We believe thoughtful design can transform ordinary items into something extraordinary, and small choices can create big impacts for our world.

How we live

We’re committed to doing right by the planet and its people—and turning hundreds of thousands of plastic bottles into shoes is just the beginning. Our mission is to craft stylish, long-lasting products while reducing waste at every step. We built our own factory with sustainability front and center, earning LEED Gold and TRUE Zero-Waste certifications. Our knit-to-shape technology creates less than 1% upper material waste during production.

What we make

From our famous original flats to chic seasonal styles and unbelievably luxe bags, our ever-evolving product lineup is like nothing you’ve seen before. Every pair of Rothy’s shoes and accessories is crafted from recycled plastic bottles, spun into our signature thread. Our designs are made for real life: comfortable enough for all-day wear, easy to clean and built to last.
We create pieces that fit seamlessly into daily life, pairing timeless silhouettes with modern colorways. Whether you’re heading to work, running errands or traveling, Rothy’s delivers style and comfort without sacrificing our environmental values.

Our Promise

Style and sustainability don’t have to be opposites. We keep exploring new materials, refining our manufacturing process and pushing the industry forward. When you wear Rothy’s, you’re choosing great design that cares for people and the planet.
