THE PEOPLE BEHIND ROF-STYLE

Meet our team

These are the people who work with a lot of passion and dedication to shape every detail of your boot to perfection.
Once you unpack your ROF boots, please check whose name is on the tag to find out who’s the maker of your pair of boots

Laura

Founder

I have dreamed of a life in South Africa ever since I came here as a little girl. The feeling of freedom and calm became permanent when Leo and I decided to leave our (corporate) careers and permanently move to South Africa. And with freedom came beautiful adventures that led to the establishment of ROF-Style. I hope that you find a little bit of adventure in the everyday and that you will treat your ROF’s with as much love as they were made.

Leopold

Founder

I am an adventurer at heart and wish to spend as much time as possible outside. These boots are designed to do just that and I am very proud that we have succeeded in developing a leather boot from the Nguni breed. This was a requirement for me considering the strength of the leather. Working with a small team of passionate and skilled people gives me so much energy, the speed in which we can make adjustments is amazing.

Telisha

Creative Assistant

I’ve always loved ROF for its ethos –
“living for experiences over things” (and of course, the fact that it’s the hottest boot). I was so stoked to join the ROF team, it just felt like the stars were aligning and that I would finally be doing something fulfilling. So far I’ve tapped into my most adventurous self, going on road trips, meeting new people, learning new skills, and creating up a storm. I feel very blessed to be on this journey with such an epic team!

Juul

Warehouse Manager The Netherlands

Julia and Laura go way back! They have been friends since the age of 10 and coming from a background in TV productions whilst also raising 3 kids (hello multitasking skills), we knew she was the right fit to coordinate our warehouse in Putten (Holland). Oh, and when you want a personalized fitting, she is your girl. Send an email to julia@rof-style.com to make an appointment.

Abey

Warehouse Manager South Africa

When we moved to Riebeek Kasteel about 1,5 year ago we were looking for someone that could help us around the house. We soon realized that Abey was capable of way more and we asked him to run our warehouse in South Africa.

Laura

Social Media Assistant

We loved her content from the moment she ran our Insta account for a weekend take-over. And in a world where you don’t matter without a dance video on TikTok we are happy to have someone on board who knows the in’s and out’s of creating fun content – without getting us to dance 😉

I am grateful to work for ROF-Style. This way I can provide for my family with a steady income

I am the only woman at the ROF workshop but I am proud of that. The men leave the detail work up to me and I love to add the final touches.

At work I can be myself. I had the opportunity to learn a skill and find a steady job that I really like

Siphiwe

ROF Boots are made by South Africans, in South Africa and with South African materials, I am happy to be a part of that and I hope many more people will buy local products to support.

Vincent

Craftsman

It’s important these boots are made well so they last for years. I love precision work and I train newcomers in craftsmanship step-by-step.

Flynn

I dig going outdoors and doing a variety of things in my Rof’s, they’re the most practical shoe Ive ever worn, I’ve done everything from week long hikes to swimming with these things. 

Aimee-Li

I enjoy working for ROF because supporting sustainable & local practices makes my heart full! And I obviously adore their boots! The business is small and inter-connected which makes working for them familiar and an absolute pleasure. 

Rebecca

Market

I love working at ROF-Style not only because of the amazing product and brand aspirations but because I get to represent a brand that is adored by so many loyal customers and I get to see first hand, through interacting with the customers, what the brand means to people.

Sasha

Getting to meet people and taken places through these boots has really shaped my experiences over the last two years.

Joe

Why I like working at the market = feeling rof and ombeskof when it comes to the boots!
