First, it's the coolest thing to design your own shoes. Second, it's even cooler when TRC uses my favorite colors - so my custom Alex sneakers are beautiful, if not, exactly what I wanted. They are extremely well made - and comfortable enough for every day/all day wear. I couldn't be happier.

These are really very cute! Pretty comfortable too. I like that they're leather, feels nicer than a regular canvas sneaker.

This is such a gorgeous pair of Shelleys! The vanilla nubuck looks so good with the poppy fabric and very comfy as always - my fave summer shoes!

Love these new boots. They look great with a cropped or longer jean as well as a dress/skirt. Very versatile.

Green is my favorite color, and with their beautiful olive green leather and black spiral fabric accent on the back, these shoes are perfection! So easy to slip on and off and super comfortable to wear.

Nora is not your average flip flop. These sandals are well-constructed with high quality leather and light cushioning in the insoles that will keep your feet comfortable all day long. They do seem to run a little on the small side so, especially if you are between sizes, you may want to consider sizing up.

Not sure what took me so long to get a pair of Alinna sandals, but they have quickly become one of my favorite shoes. They are so comfortable and the combination of black leather and spiral fabric is super stylish and fun! I can't wait to pack them for my next warm weather vacation!

The Holly mule is a well-constructed and versatile shoe. I wear my Hollys with pants, skirts, dresses, jeans and shorts, and I always get lots of compliments on how cute they are. Another thing I love about my Hollys is the cushioned insole, which keeps my feet comfortable when I'm doing a lot of walking. If you are looking for a unique and stylish addition to your wardrobe, I highly recommend these shoes.

The Suzie in marigold is such a unique and cute sandal. The soft yellow nubuck goes with so many different things in my closet. Who knew yellow could be a neutral?! Also, with its adjustable back strap, this sandal is really comfortable.

The Laura crossbody bag has been my go-to handbag since I got it two years ago. It's the right size to hold all of my necessities, the crossbody strap is the perfect length for a hands-free handbag experience, and the chestnut leather goes with everything. The pull tab on the zipper finally broke off after a lot of heavy use, but I can still open and close the zipper easily enough. I recommend this bag to anyone like me who likes to hang their purse across their body and then forget about it.

I have two pairs of Gaby flats - one in the embroidered floral and another in a mustard fabric. These are such great shoes - easy to slip on, comfortable to wear, versatile to style, and oh-so cute. They are well-constructed and incredibly durable. I wear mine often and they show very little wear. I want all the colors!

Shelley was the first pair of sandals I bought from the Root Collective and I wear them a lot. For all the abuse I've put them through (like walking through wet sand on the beach), they've held up really well., They look great and are as comfortable as ever!

I absolutely adore this bag. The pebbled black and camel look AMAZING together and it is so beautiful and timeless. It's great for walking in cities when you want to be completely hands free and have plenty of necessary things with you, but it's still small enough to easily tuck at your feet at a restaurant or theater. I was easily able to carry a water bottle, two wallets, two glasses cases, two types of sunscreen, tissues, chapstick, a pill bottle, a mask, and still have room for souvenirs....

I am not a bag person but felt like I really needed one for an international trip so I decided to try the Michelle crossbody. It is SUCH a good bag. I could easily carry my phone, wallet, keys, chapstick, face masks, tissues, and other little odds and ends. I love that it is hands free with the nice long strap and is comfortable to wear while walking.

Christine K.
These are the first flip flops I've bought in YEARS and I'm so glad I did! They are by far the most comfortable ones I've ever worn. The soles are comfortable all day long and more importantly, I never get blisters from the strap (that was the primary reason I stopped buying/wearing flip flops.) The chestnut is so classic and looks great with anything. I'm one of those people who never likes to be barefoot so these are great even for wearing around the house in summer.

These are great sandals! They're super comfortable and easy to walk in. The straps are nice and roomy and I feel like there is plenty of give if you're like me and your feet tend to swell in hot weather. I like that they have the ease of a flip flop but are a little dressier.

I have these in a discontinued color and they are probably the classiest shoes I own. I get compliments every single time I wear these. They are SO beautiful, but more importantly, they are shockingly comfortable. I have worn them all day as a teacher and done several miles of city walking in them. All day comfort! I never would have guessed it especially since I am not a heel person. They can go with any type of outfit and will instantly upgrade it. I feel like an absolute boss when I we...

Thea was my first pair of TRC flats and I think they are fabulous! I have them in three different colors. They are the perfect flat that goes with everything. I like the slightly pointed toe because it elevates the outfit, but it is not TOO pointy and doesn't give the elf look. I'm a half size and sized up for my old pairs, but TRC has changed the fit and I would probably size down for my next pair.

The Lili mule was an unexpected love for me. I had never worn mules before and decided to try these. I was very wary, but they are amazing. I have absolutely no issues with them staying on my feet (that was one of my main concerns.) They are SO comfortable and easy to wear all day long. I wear them for teaching regularly and never have any issues. I love that they add classiness to any outfit, but can easily be worn with a casual look too. I love them so much that I have both the chestnut...

I now own three pairs of Faiths in Chestnut, black and limited edition red. These are stylish, comfortable and can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Highly recommend these!

I waited and waited for the all snow Jessie’s and am so obsessed. They are the most comfortable sneakers and can be dressed up or down! I’m a true 9.5 and tried the 10 first and they were a bit too big so swapped for the 9s and they were a perfect fit!! Because they are real leather I recommend unlacing them putting them on your feet and re-installing the laces for the best custom fit!!

Christine K.
These were my first Brookes and they are fabulous! I feel like the camel color is hard to capture on camera but it is such a great color and goes with so many different things. These are very comfortable flats that are surprisingly easy to walk in even for long periods of time. They're easy to dress up or down. I love how easy it is to slip them on and go too. I'm a size 6.5 and sized up to a 7 for these. I was glad for it one hot summer day when my feet were swelling.

I never thought I’d be a mule person - but I now own these in four different colors (and I want more). These are so fun, I love the style and shape of them, and they are really comfortable to walk around in. Highly recommend!

This cleans up well-loved smooth leather TRC shoes well. I use this even on my garden gloves and hiking boots from other companies. It is a staple in our cleaning products cabinet. I am sensitive to the smell, but it’s not noticeable once the product dries so I just clean my shoes in the garage and leave them there overnight to dry. When I am doing a comprehensive care treatment I use the cleaner, then the conditioner, and then the water protectant in succession with dry periods and buffing betw...

Possibly my favorite sneakers I have ever owned! They are so comfortable for all day wear. I have worn them many times for days with lots of walking--amusement parks, touring cities, all day on my feet as a teacher, etc. I am a size 6.5 and sized up to a 7. I love them so much I have several pairs. I love that they look classy too and can go with a variety of different outfits.

I have quite the collection of TRC shoes and by far these get the most compliments! I’ve had mine for a few years now and they still look amazing! I walk a lot for my job and my feet are always happy wearing these! Of course the floral embroidery is stunning and I love the story it tells. These flats are a must-have!!

Just got these new shoes and I am in love! I wasn’t sure they were going to fit because I’m a half-size with a high instep and I sized down. The footbed is insanely comfortable and they are so pretty, especially with the black pebbled leather. I especially like the look of the square toe box.

The Casey sandal is so comfortable and can look casual or dressy depending on your outfit. One of my most worn pairs during the summer. I love the fabric strap mixed with the leather.

I just got my Chloe wedges and I can’t believe I waited this long to get them! They are so fun and I got compliments on them every time, not to mention they are comfortable! Be sure to size down if you are a half size. I’m a 7.5 and got a 7 and they are perfect!

I love this color combination! The marigold nubuck is gorgeous and pairs so nicely with the cream leather. It’s perfect for fall and I love pairing it with dark reds and greens and navy.

My school colors in the most comfortable sneaker. What more could a girl ask for? They are true to size and spending a day at the field in them is perfect.

I have 3 pairs of gaby’s and all are extremely comfortable. I prefer the leather over the cloth but that is just a personal preference because I like leather and it is easier to clean.

The BEST flats. So comfortable, and these get constant compliments because they are beautiful and unique. They go with so many different colors in my wardrobe since they have so many colors in the patterns.

I have Thea in several colors and patterns - and I just love her. They're so very well made. The rubber sole makes them comfortable to walk in all day. I usually have them on when I'm on site for work or on vacation.

These sandals are perfect for me. They're comfortable, they're stylish, they stay on my feet when I walk fast (I know you know what I'm talking about). The fit is proper, the adjustable ankle strap really perfects the fit... I highly recommend these shoes.
