Style and comfort are too frequently at odds when it comes to buying shoes. So when you find a brand that seems to have cracked that particular code, it's worth taking full advantage by adding a couple pairs to your cart. And if you've been on social media recently, you might know that the current comfortable brand everyone is talking about is Rothy's.

The San Francisco-based company has been around since 2016, specializing in machine-washable styles with cushioned footbeds and plenty of support. This isn't your mother's orthopedic shoe brand, though. Since launching a series of on-trend silhouettes, from the ubiquitous Mary Jane to cozy clogs, Rothy's has become something of a cult favorite—at least on TikTok, where there are hundreds of videos showing you how to style a pair for virtually every dress code. Pair that with an accessible price point, and we may have just found your new everyday comfortable shoe.

Here's another incentive to shop: In honor of Earth Day, Rothy's is offering a complimentary pair of shoes to the first 100 customers who bring a plastic water bottle in to their stores in New York, Los Angeles, or Boston on April 22 (as well as 20 percent off for the remaining buyers who bring one). Given the brand's emphasis on sustainability—each pair of Rothy's is made from natural, renewable, or recycled materials, including plastic water bottles—this initiative is just another reason you can feel good about your purchase. After all, summer travel is around the corner, and a sightseeing-friendly pair of espadrilles you won't actually have to break in sound like the the smartest thing you can pack in your carry-on (just don't forget the SPF).

Take a look at some of Rothy's most popular styles, ahead.

The Square Mary Jane

The internet's favorite comfy Mary Jane, now available in nine colorways. We like that it has a slightly square toe, for a mod take on the timeless silhouette.

The Square Wrap

The delicate ankle tie on this minimalist pair offers an easy way to zhuzh up simple flats (and provides a bit more security so you won't have to constantly readjust while you're walking).

The Ballet Flat

All the charm of a ballerina shoe, minus the toe-pinching. Pick up this knit flat in tomato red for a low-stakes way to get into the color trend of the moment.

The Espadrille

Rothy's espadrille may be the newest addition to the roster—it launched on April 18—but it's already a customer favorite. Reviewers love how padded it is and the fact that it comes with a removable ankle tie that gives you more flexibility when styling.

The Casual Clog

Consider these clogs the socially acceptable answer to wearing your slippers outdoors—they have a contoured footbed for arch support, but the two-tone, hemp-textured upper gives them an elevated edge.
