Rothy’s opens at Legacy Place - second area location

Dedham, MA Rothy’s, the lifestyle brand known for its stylish, washable shoes and accessories, has debuted its newest store at Legacy Place, marking the company’s second Boston-area location.

Following the success of its Boston store, Rothy’s expansion to Legacy Place gives more customers the opportunity to experience its best-selling clogs, flats, sneakers, bags, and more — all designed for everyday wear and built to last. Rothy’s approach centers on long-lasting quality, easy-care design, and materials made from recycled plastic bottles, with the goal of keeping products in circulation and out of landfills.

At the heart of Rothy’s model is a commitment to resource-conscious production. The company’s signature thread is spun from plastic bottles diverted from landfills, and every product is knit to shape using a 3D process that helps minimize waste. 

Rothy’s owns and operates its own factory — one of the few in the footwear industry to do so — and has achieved TRUE Zero Waste certification, reflecting its efforts to send as little as possible to landfill.

The Rothy’s store at Legacy Place features new and signature styles for women, men and kids. Now open, the space serves as a destination for customers to try on styles, learn about sustainable design, and participate in seasonal events throughout the year.
