I love my black pointy-toe flats from Rothy’s and wear them all the time, but now I have some new flats that I’m so stoked about!

These are from the brand Birdies, which makes stylish flats for women, but they’re also slippers! They have flats, slides, and sandals in plain colors but also fun patterns and designs. It’s recognizable by the satin champagne quilting on the interior of the shoe and the cushion feel to it.

Earlier this month, I stopped by their physical store in San Francisco with my friend Jodie. She already has a pair for work and loves them!

The store is so cute inside! And they had a sale going on too! (Tempting..)

Here are what some of their other shoe styles look like:

The Phoebe in Floral Jacquard. It’s got an Asian-inspired look to them.

Birdes can be worn for casual wear or for getting a little dressed up or for work! Here are some styles I’d recommend for work:

The Starling in Black, Cheetah print, or neutral colors (Latte, Slate, Ice)
The Heron in Black

Here are some styles I’d recommend for playtime in the summer:

The Sparrow in Sangria, Azure, Silver Shadow, or Jet
The Raven
The Songbird

They have a bridal section as well – with fringes, tassels, and jewels galore! *Swoon*

I wasn’t even planning on getting anything, but then I fell in love with these two pairs below LoL!

The Raven in Fuchsia (already sold out unfortunately!)

So that’s what I came home with! Plus this free hat they threw in, haha!

I’ve already worn my pink ones and they’re so fun to wear! Seeing a bright pop of color when I look down at my feet makes me happy!

If you want to check out their collection of flats, you can use my referral link for $20 off your first purchase. The sale is still going on now with limited selection left. Enjoy!

The shoes that I see women everywhere wearing are flats from a brand called Rothy’s. They’re very distinctive in how they look.

This brand is based in SF and has re-purposed over 20 million plastic bottles into shoes. It’s incredible! The shoes are created with a 3D knitting machine so they are seamless.

I can vouch that they are by far the most comfortable flats I’ve worn, and are my go-to flats these days.

They have round-toe and pointy-toe styles. They also have loafer and sneaker styles too. I would possibly consider a sneaker style, but I’m very happy with my black pointy-toe flat because it can be dressed up or down with a casual outfit or with a more business casual look. Sometimes I’ll throw this pair of flats in my car trunk if I need to change my shoes when I’m out and about.

If you have wider feet, you could order half a size up. But I find that it runs true to size – I have size 5.5. Some people order 2 different sizes and then just return the other pair. The insole is removable too, so you could replace it with a different shoe insert if you need to.

They have solid colors and also some more funky patterns if you want something more bold. For more ideas on how these shoes look, take a look at their Instagram for style inspiration.

Also, it’s machine washable! More detailed instructions on their FAQ page.

They are more pricey, but I think they’re worth the investment for how often I wear mine. Also, here’s a discount for $20 off your first order. (note this is not a sponsored post, this is just my friends and family referral code that they give all customers.)

There’s free shipping and free returns within 30 days. Or you can return the shoes in-person to your local Happy Returns location (i.e. Stanford mall or Valley Fair mall in the Bay Area). See my previous post on Happy Returns.

They look modern and stylish and they’re comfortable, so I highly recommend a pair for your wardrobe!
