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

To keep your sheepskin insoles soft, cosy and long-lasting, brush them gently to remove dirt and revive the nap. For small stains, spot-clean with a damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild detergent — do not soak. Blot away excess moisture, reshape, and air-dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, brush lightly to restore the fleece. Air insoles between wears and refresh them every 1–3 months or as needed to maintain comfort and durability. Use a fabric-safe protector only.

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.

MORE ABOUT OUR PROCESS

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
