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.

Customer photo review of Brown Tankwa Boot

I bought a pair for myself. Josh loved it! Then I bought him a pair because he loved my ROFs so much. A week later, he spoiled me with a pair of clogs. Needless to say - 3 pairs in 2 weeks. This is how much we love this brand.

So my boots arrived yesterday, and I’m STILL wearing them! I am in love, I’ve wanted a pair since the first time I saw them (years ago!) and finally… I have them! They are everything you could wish for and more. Comfy, trendy and legendary! ♥️

Customer photo review of Brown Tankwa Boot

The shoes are strong, beautiful, very unique, adventurous and it’s exactly how I imagined it to be. Yes it’s still tight because I haven’t worn them as yet. It’s about to become R.O.F🤌🏾🤌🏾

Great quality product

Customer photo review of Brown Tankwa Boot

Maar 1 weekje uitlopen en vanaf dan echt de meest comfi boots die je maar kan bedenken. Deze kleur by far het mooiste. Maar ga zeker ook voor zwarte nog!

Little bit stiff but still needs to be worn properly now that the winter is on its way. I used it on the farm.

The boots are 100 % quality & purely bad ass 😁 unique design and super comfortable after a while .. the leather is thick and only looks better with age. I bought two pairs, black and brown and couldn’t be happier … even the packaging is great, including a nice little surprise 😉

Our order took a little longer due to the Macrame straps that were out of stock but when we received it it was an experience. The unboxing itself was exciting. WOW!!! What amazing packaging. The boots themselves are stunning and so comfortable. So many little touches that make this a stand-out from any other boots out there. Thank you so much for brightening our day.

We love our new boots. They are sturdy, they look great. We are super happy with them

Truly happy with my boots. Great quality, fits my wide feet perfectly and such a stunning design. Thanks!

They are beautiful! Love them and have got loads of comments on them. They definitely need to be worn in. The leather is pretty ridged and hard but I’ve put on thick socks and walked around a fair bit and they have started to soften a little bit. I could mole more wears and they should be great.

Oh wow! What an experience unboxing my boots! Amazing box, and amazing pair of boots! Absolutely in love!!!

Great Product, Great Service

I bought it for my husband as a surprise. It looks absolutely stunning. Hopefully he'll love it as much as I do.

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
