Sizing Guide

We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. Our footwear may feel tight at first, but will stretch about half a size after a few days of wear. If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size and adding a sheepskin insole for extra comfort.

Care instructions

To keep your footwear in shape for years to come, use our Complete Care Set regularly. Apply Leather Food (01) to nourish and protect the leather, Polish (02) to restore colour and shine, and finish with Leather Spray (03) for water and stain protection. For best results, we recommend using the set every 3 months or as needed, ensuring your footwear stays durable, comfortable and ready for any adventure.

At ROF-Style, we choose vegetable-tanned leather because it’s better for the environment and built to last. Unlike chrome-tanned leather, this process uses natural tannins, reducing harmful chemicals and ensuring a more sustainable footprint.

Not only is it durable and designed to withstand any adventure, its natural blemishes and variations make every pair truly one of a kind.

LOVE FROM OUR FELLOW ADVENTURERS

I’ve taken my ROF Boots through mud flats in Namibia, across Botswana on horseback, and somehow also to cute dinner events in the city. Basically can confirm these boots do it all. Simple and easy to take care of plus I was surprised how comfortable they were after just a few times wearing them.

Oh and I love how they are made to last a lifetime and support local South African artisans!

Crazy about these boots! Love to wear them under a dress or with a jeans

I always dreamt of having a pair of boots that would join me on my journey in life, but I never really thought I’d found them yet.

I then came across the ROF boots and I knew I had to have a pair, when I finally got them I knew these were boots that compliment my journey in life and never looked back since. 

Such incredible strength and durability. They feel incredible on and honestly they feel like they belong on your feet to the way they mould to your foot.
