Hey fashion friends! Let’s talk about Rothy’s Women’s Emblem Ballet Flat in Cardinal—this deep, rich red pair has been popping up in my closet nonstop lately, but I’m keeping it real: it’s not perfect, so I’m breaking down the pros, cons, and how I style it for every vibe.
First, the pros. That cardinal red? Chef’s kiss. It’s not too bright, not too dull—just a classic, warm red that works for fall, winter, even spring. The “emblem” detail (I’m guessing a small, subtle logo or stitch on the toe, typical of Rothy’s) adds a tiny luxe touch without being flashy. And let’s not forget Rothy’s signature knit material—it’s stretchy enough for my slightly wide feet, no breaking-in blisters (hallelujah!). I wore these for 5 hours at a farmers’ market last weekend, walking on concrete, and my feet still felt comfy—thanks to that In Love Insole? they always use. Plus, they’re machine washable! Spilled a little hot cocoa on them? Tossed in cold water, air-dried, and they looked brand new.
Now the cons, because honesty matters. The sole is on the thinner side. If you’re walking on rough pavement all day (like a busy work commute), you might want to add a gel insole for extra cushion—my arches started feeling a little tired after 7+ hours once. Also, the emblem? It’s cute, but if you’re into super minimal shoes, it might feel like a tiny extra—nothing major, but worth noting if you prefer plain styles.
Styling these is easy, let me share my go-tos. For a casual weekend look: pair with high-waisted straight-leg jeans (light wash works great with the red), a white cropped tee, and a tan leather jacket. The red pops against the neutral base, and it’s effortless but put-together. For the office: throw them with a black midi skirt, a cream button-down (tucked in slightly), and a structured blazer—suddenly, a basic work outfit feels fun. Even for a low-key date night: match with a burgundy wrap dress (the red shoes tie in without clashing) and a small crossbody bag.
