It’s beach time, and you know what that means: We need a few wardrobe pieces! One beach-friendly wardrobe piece I have always struggled with is finding sand-friendly shoes. Sandals get heavy when walking in the sand, but boaters are hot and uncomfortable at the beach. For the longest time, I felt there was no good solution for wearing shoes in the sand. That’s when I discovered the Rothy’s Wrap Square Toe Flats.
Rothy’s Wrap Square Toe Flats are a perfect cross between shoe and sandal: They are comfortable and water-friendly, and they are a complete shoe rather than a sandal – ensuring they won’t get heavy walking in the sand – but Rothy’s has a signature crisscrossed that causes the shoes to have small holes in them that will keep your feet cool, and the fabric is a thin, cooling fabric as well.
They are the perfect beach shoes; you can take the strings out and wear them as regular flats. I opted to take the strings out and wear them as standard flats.
Most excitingly, Rothy’s signature criss-cross patterns use fabric that is from recycled plastic bottles, and they participate in a circular economy, meaning you can return your used Rothy’s to them to be repurposed into new shoes.
Rothy’s is an excellent shoe brand with great-quality products worth the money. I look forward to wearing my Rothy’s flats to the beach for many years.
