The new and improved pointed flats have the same elongated toe box that fans know and love, but with extra comfort features in mind.

Meghan Markle may have an enviable shoe collection filled with designer heels and sandals galore, but even she likes to wear comfortable footwear every so often. One of her go-to's is a sustainable pair of Rothy's pointed-toe flats made of 100% recycled water bottles, and just in time for fall, the brand's beloved shoes are getting a fabulous update we think the Duchess would approve of.

The new and improved Point II has the same elongated toe box that fans know and love, but with extra toe box volume for less gaping, a touch more coverage in the vamp opening to reduce toe cleavage, and a slightly higher heel for added elevation. Rothy's took the design process very seriously when fine-tuning its best-selling shoes. According to the brand, more than 35 prototypes and trials were developed in over two years to land every detail of the look and fit, and Rothy's worked with 150-plus women to test every aspect of the new shoe.

Style aside, the reimagined flats also boast an innovative footbed that helps increase stability and support, an extra-cushiony insole that's removable, and new knit techniques that allow the shoe to expand and contract as your foot changes shape during the day. Like the original, the flats are made from 100% recycled water bottles and machine washable.

The Duchess of Sussex was first spotted wearing the original pointed-toe Rothy's back in 2018 during her and Prince Harry's royal tour of Australia, and then a similar version on Valentine's Day in 2020. But she isn't the only fan of the brand: Gwyneth Paltrow has been an early supporter of the sustainable label, and Mandy Moore, Isla Fisher, and Emma Roberts are among the many other famous fashionistas who've also been photographed donning Rothy's shoes.

The Point II is available to shop starting today at $155. The shoes are available in various neutral colorways, including black, burgundy, forest green, metallic, ecru, and a leopard print. With the colder days just around the corner, it couldn't be a better a time to add a pair to your fall shoe collection. Go ahead, treat yourself!
