My mom wanted a pair of Rothy's, and was looking for a deal when she got duped. I own several pair of Rothys, and I don't believe these are original. That being said, they are REALLY good knock offs. Everything appears to look the same, but the shoe fabric is just a bit softer to the touch, so they feel really nice. Unfortunately, I told her to order larger than she needs, as I've learned to do with original Rothy's, and these came in true to size, so they are too large for both of us. I'm hoping to sell them, as they are actually a great pair of shoes, and get some of her money back. She paid $85. Soft, comfortable, brand new (never worn, only tried on), and beautiful. No one would ever know to see them that they were knock offs, unless they were really inspecting and/or felt the fabric. Pet, smoke & perfume free home. Make an offer!
