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.

LEATHER 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.

SHEEPSKIN CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Your insoles will soften and shape to your feet over time, so a little care goes a long way.

Give them a gentle brush every now and then to lift the fibres and shake off dust. If they pick up a mark, spot clean lightly with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Try not to soak them.

If they do get wet, blot out the moisture, reshape them, and let them dry naturally. Once dry, a light brush will bring the fleece back to life.

We like to let ours air out between wears, and give them a refresh every now and then, depending on how often you wear them.

GUNI CLOG CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Gently brush the hide with a small, firm brush to remove any dirt.
  • If needed, use a little water, but avoid getting the hide too wet.
  • If they do get wet, allow them to dry properly and naturally before wearing them again.
  • Do not machine wash or soak.

Customer photo review of Black Tankwa Boot

I now own three pairs of Rof’s and they’re just fantastic! I even enjoy the initial break-in. It’s quite amazing how they shape to your feet after a few wears, becoming uniquely yours. They’re super durable, tough and ready for any adventure you might need them for. The craftsmanship is amazing and perfect for every season. Plus, they’re so easy to slip on and off.

LOVED the wrapping, the box, the paper of the box - everything! Obsessed with my shoes. These are my second pair.

Black Tankwa Boot

I love your product and packaging! Broad comfortable. 2 Suggestions : 1.Same look clasps but clip in 2.Upper ankle leather is hard and chafes the front of my lower leg. Softer leather would be perfect in this part of the shoe.

Black Tankwa Boot

Rof style is for life! I purchased a size 7 online, but had to exchange it for a size 6.5. The Rof team at the Oranjezicht market did an excellent job ensuring that I left with the right pair of boots for my feet. I am extremely satisfied. I've been looking for a higher-quality leather boot after wearing Dr Martens for years. If you appreciate high-quality leather, look no further than Rof-style. The quality of Rof exceeds my expectations, and there is no going back. 🖤 P.S. My cat loves the box too. 😽

RELATED PRODUCTS

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

These boots are practical and cool. One could wear them in the snow, a sunny day, and anything in between. They are understated yet casually fashionable. Great to support the South African community in which they are made. 100% worth the purchase and I will definitely be looking to buy a brown pair soon.

Hi. I received my pair of black ROFs. And I must tell you I am so impressed with your packaging. I became so excited just unboxing. You took me on a journey. This must be the most beautiful packaging I’ve ever come across. Thank you and your team so much for all the effort that went into the packaging and I’m totally in love with my ROFs. I’ve been wanting a pair since lockdown lol literally 2020
