With all the debates going on right now and people quickly
to take sides without thought - I believe it’s the perfect time to address the
heated choice Tieks or Rothy’s? Now, if your pocket book can only afford you to
have one or the other (since both shoes are quite pricey) than a little research
and product reviews might help settle the problem.
Tieks Flats
- Start at $175 and go up pricewise (and never go on sale)
- They are made of Italian Leather or Vegan materials
- They are light and easy to pack when traveling
- They have great sole padding that make them quite comfortable
- They only come in rounded ballet flat style, but come in an array of shades
- They are a little more difficult to clean
- They come with cute packaging, a flower and a pouch to carry them in your purse
Rothy’s Flats
- They run from $125 and go up pricewise (and take coupons and have sales)
- They are made of recycled plastic bottles
- Not foldable, but still lightweight and easy to pack
- Machine washable including the removeable insoles
- They have six different styles including my fave the pointed flat
- They come in various patterns and colors
- They are eco-friendly
If you are like me then you know that sometimes you don’t
have choose, you can have both. Don’t
let the price deter you to be quick to take sides. I am a proud owner of both and not because I
have the income to often treat myself, but because I am a secondhand shopper to
the core. In my thrifting escapades I found not one, but two pointed Rothy’s in
my size that had been worn maybe once.
Both pairs I got for $5.99 each and I absolutely love them. They are super comfortable – I love them so
much that I am considering ordering the Mary Jane style from the actual site. My only complaint would be that on hot days
they can make your feet sweat, but they are quite easy to wash and come out
from the wash looking brand new.
I also found a pair of brown Italian leather Tieks for $7.99
which had more wear than my Rothy’s, but still were in great condition. These I don’t wear as much because I prefer a
pointed toe. However, they are quite
comfortable and I get a lot of compliments when I wear them. I also get the comment, are they worth the
high price? Since mine were thrifted, I don’t have the lovely packaging, the
flower band or the bag to store them in that all Tieks come with. Thus, I am only left with the shoes to review.
I do believe that the craftsmanship, the materials that Tieks are made with and
the comfort are worth the price because it’s a shoe to live in.
Lucky for me I own both at a price that didn’t send me to
the poor house.
