Some of the best fashion advice I ever received is quite simple: Always wear sensible shoes. And as I get older, I live by this tip. Like many of you, I was comfortably working from home, wearing cozy socks or slippers over the last two years. As a result, my feet got accustomed to not being constricted in heavy boots, strappy sandals, and uncomfy high heels (the worst!). But now that I've been back in an office part-time for the last six months, I've noticed that my feet have been taking a major beating since they're not used to being put to use as much as they once were.

That was until I slipped my feet into a pair of Rothy's Point flats. You see, I had been familiar with the sustainable brand for a few years already since famous faces like Meghan Markle had stepped out in them previously. But when I began spotting more and more women on the subway wearing the Rothy's Point flats or the sister style called The Flat during my morning commute, I thought, if all these people plus the Duchess of Sussex are wearing them out, they must be really comfortable. So, I decided to try them on—and, wow, I can confidently say "really comfortable" is an understatement.

The sleek, pointy-toe flats are light-as-air, incredibly breathable and provide just the right amount of support with a snug fit, making each step you take a dreamy, ache-free pleasure. And that's all thanks to the super-soft, flexible upper which is knitted from plastic bottles—how cool is that?—and the chicest tortoiseshell rubber soles, also crafted from natural materials. Comfort aside, the sleek silhouette and the perfectly-pointy toe make the shoes versatile, too. Be it a work dress, a blouse and jeans, or even a sophisticated suit, the Point will just not disappoint no matter how you style them. Plus, they come in endless colorways and patterns. If there's a shade or design you're looking for, Rothy's most likely created it already. I chose an ecru hue, but the shoes also come in other neutral colors, as well as blues, purples, reds, stripes—you name it.

But the pièce de résistance: Rothy's shoes are machine washable. Yes, when you've worn them out one too many times like I already have—and let's face it, you will!— or they've been scuffed with a bit of dirt from the sidewalk, you can just pop them into the washing machine. And after a cycle, voilà! You have yourself a pair of flats looking as good as new.

In other words, the Rothy's Point flats, which are reasonably priced at $150, are total game changers and the gift that keeps on giving. It's not often you buy a pair of shoes that are comfortable, supportive, you can wear with most outfits, and wash again and again— and what can be better than that?
