As the name suggests, this clever leather slip-on shoe defies expectations. The Rogue's relaxed, footloose fit is shrewdly concealed under a guise of classic styling and rich aged leather, for covert comfort anywhere you roam.

Includes removable suede insoles. Sheepskin fleece insoles can be purchased separately.

Sizing note: The Regular width Rogue may feel snug at first. While the leather will stretch over time, you may consider going up a size. The Wide width is roomier and more likely to be true to your normal Softstar size.

Rogues are wanderers and adventurers determined to get the most out of life enjoy every minute of it. They move in and out of circles both rugged and refined with the greatest of ease, and we've designed these shoes to help you do the same!

Our natural, full-grain aged leather is used for this shoe to give its rustic, heritage look. The upper interior is lined with our unique Breathe-O-Prene, a stretchy material designed for superior ventilation and breathability. This fabric also keeps the shoe fitting snugly around your foot for a secure and cozy fit. The shoe slips on easily and is so comfortable that many of our customers tell us they forget to take them off when they come home at the end of the day!

The Rogue features an 8mm version of our VibramTM Geo, a lightweight, flexible sole that enables barefoot-style movement and groundfeel with improved durability and traction. The interior footbed comes with a removable, natural suede insole. Sheepskin insoles can be purchased separately.

  • Made with distressed aged leather for a rugged style.
  • Easily slips on and stays on.
  • The regular width uses our Standard sole shape. The wide width uses our Hybrid WIDE sole shape. You can compare the shapes on our Sole Shape Comparison Tool.
  • Lightweight: weighs 6-8oz depending on size.
  • Breathe-O-Prene uppers hold shoe snugly around foot.
  • Durable VibramTM Geo sole provides flexibility, proprioception and traction.
  • Indoor/outdoor casual shoe.
  • Unique aged leather uppers for rustic style.
  • Handcrafted in Oregon, USA using premium, responsibly-sourced leathers.

You can measure your feet or your child's feet at home using a book, a ruler and a wall. You can then see where the measurement fits on our unisex shoe size chart to find the recommended shoe size.


Measure Your Feet...

Place bare foot with heel barely touching the wall and longest toe barely touching the flat spine of a book. Step away carefully and measure the distance from the wall to the book.

... and Find Your Size

Once you have the measurement, look for it on the charts below to find the recommended Softstar shoe size. Contact us if you have questions.

Note: we do not recommend tracing feet because doing so usually gives a larger measurement.

Care Tips for Full Grain (smooth) Leather Shoes

Includes Sublime, Nova, Dublin, Highline, Torino, Shiny, LITE, Plonge, Aged, and Vegetable-Tanned Leathers

WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVE:

Softstar Shoes are made from eco-friendly leathers tanned in the USA. Leather is a natural product and some variation in texture and hide markings is to be expected. Because we use leather colored with non-toxic food grade dyes, there will likely be some initial color transfer to your socks or skin if your shoes become damp. This will decrease with use, but we don't recommend wearing your new Softstars with your favorite white socks the first time you take them for a spin.

If your shoes are a little snug at first in the toe box area, you can gently stretch them by stuffing the toe box with a dry cloth. Push the cloth tightly into the front of the shoe and let sit stuffed overnight to stretch. Do not use a damp cloth as the water can stain the leather or innersole of some leather types, rendering it non-returnable.

MAINTENANCE:

Most full grain leather we use is naturally water resistant, but our special vegetable-tanned leather (available only by custom selection on some of our design-your-own shoes) and Colorado leather are "naked" leathers and will stain from water alone. You can clean shoes as needed with water dampened cloth and let air dry, but please note if you do this on vegetable-tanned or Colorado leather then you will need to wet/stain the entire shoe to avoid water marks. Condition the leather as often as desired with any quality leather dressing, but be careful to keep it away from the edges of your rubber soles. Do not use mink oil on your shoes, as it can degrade the adhesion on bonded soles and cause the sole to separate from your shoe over time. We highly recommend Bee Natural Amore for general conditioning or Rain & Snow or Nikwax Full Grain Waterproofing on smooth leather for enhanced water resistance. The color on shiny metallic shoes will eventually patina with use into an antique wear look, which can be accelerated with repeated use to water and high wear (e.g. scuffing toes).

WASHING:

We do not recommend frequent washing of any leather product as it strips the leather of it's natural oils and tends to dry stiffer. For all of our leathers (except vegetable-tanned) you can clean by hand with a damp cloth, or if needed you can hand wash your leather shoes using a gentle shampoo and cool water. Let them air dry. Do not attempt to dry your shoes by exposing them to high heat, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer or by leaving them on a radiator or next to a fire. Doing so may damage leather or rubber soles.

We are often asked if our shoes can be washed in a washing machine. While not recommended as a normal course of action, when in dire straits the Elves have been known to toss a pair of shoes in the machine and generally have had good results. Just don't mix them with any other item because of color bleeding. Shoes with sheepskin can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully submerged in water, but you can speed up the drying by stuffing with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day.

 



Care Tips for Suede and Nubuck Shoes

WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVE:

Softstar Shoes are made from eco-friendly, tanned in USA leathers. Leather is a natural product and some variation in texture and markings is to be expected. Because we use natural food grade dyes in our leather, there will likely be some initial color transference to your socks or skin if your shoes become damp. This will decrease with use, but please do not wear your new Soft Stars with your favorite white socks the first time you take them for a spin!

If your shoes are a little snug at first across the top of the toes, you can gently stretch them by stuffing the toe box with a slightly damp rag. Push the cloth tightly into the front of the shoe (don't worry, you won't hurt it). Let the stuffing sit in the shoes overnight to stretch the leather.

MAINTENANCE:

Use a suede brush to remove dirt. You can also choose to use a suede/nubuck leather care product to protect against stains and water absorption (we recommend Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof). While not necessary, it will help keep your shoes looking new over time. Do not use generic leather care products on suede, but only those specifically formulated for suede. Products for full grain or smooth leather will be too oily and may permanently darken and mat suede fibers. Please do not use mink oil on any Softstar shoes as it will mat the fibers of our natural leather and will break down the adhesive soling on styles that have bonded soles.

Over time, suede outsoles naturally develop a smoother surface with wear If you’d like to refresh the texture and add some extra grip back, a quick touch-up with a suede brush can easily restore the nap.

WASHING:

We do not recommend frequent washing of any leather product because it will strip the leather of it's natural oils and cause it to dry stiffer. When a suede brush is not enough, you can use a damp cloth or hand wash your suede shoes with a gentle shampoo and cool water, then let them air dry. Do not attempt to dry your shoes by exposing them to high heat, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer or by leaving them on a radiator or next to a fire. Doing so may damage leather or rubber soles.

We are often asked if our shoes can be washed in a washing machine. While not recommended as a normal course of action, when in dire straits the Elves have been known to toss a pair of shoes in the machine and generally have had good results—just don't mix them with any other item because of color bleeding. Be sure to give your wet shoes ample time to air dry. Shoes with sheepskin can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully submerged in water, but you can speed up the drying process by stuffing them with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day.

 



Care Tips for Sheepskin Boots

Softstar Phoenix boots are made from genuine, high quality sheepskin.

While genuine sheepskin is incredibly cozy and beautiful, it is also delicate and will stretch under strain. When wearing your Phoenix boots, use care to avoid stepping off the back or sides of your heels while you walk as doing so repeatedly can affect the shape of the boots and alter the way they fit. The best way to prevent this is by insuring you purchase the correct size. For adults, we recommend selecting a boot size that fits very snugly at first, as they will stretch over time. For children, growing room is important, so a little extra space is recommended. If possible, have your kids wear their boots the first few times on dryer days to give them time to form to their feet.

The boot uppers are made from eco-friendly leathers that are tanned in the USA. Our leather hides are natural products and some variation in texture and markings is to be expected. If you need to clean your boots, wash gently by hand with a damp cloth and let them air dry.

Condition the leather as often as desired with any quality leather care product, but take care not to get any oils on the edges of the rubber soles. Mink oil, specifically, will degrade the sole adhesion and can lead to separation of soling over time—we do not recommend the use of mink oil anywhere on our boots, as it can eventually seep down to the sole. For general conditioning we recommend Bee Natural Amore, For enhanced moisture protection we recommend Bee Natural Rain and Snow or Nikwax Full Grain Waterproofing. Be careful to use these products only on the smooth leather portion of the shoes and not on the suede cuffs (leather care products designed for the full grain leather uppers may permanently darken suede). It is not necessary to apply a suede protectant or waterproofing to the cuffs, but doing so may help keep that portion of the boot looking clean. If you do choose to add extra protection to the suede, be careful to use a product specifically made for suede leather.

Sheepskin boots can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully soaked with water. You can speed up the drying process by stuffing the boots with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day. If they become this wet, be very careful to avoid wearing them again until fully dry because the leather will be more susceptible to stretching and the fit may alter. Do not attempt to dry your shoes by exposing them to high heat, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer or by leaving them on a radiator or next to a fire. Doing so may damage leather or rubber soles.

    Love em!

    Rating

    When I noticed that soft star offered a wide fit rogue I was hopeful. I am happy to say that my size 10 wides fit properly, according to the sizing chart! They are very comfortable, and as a nondescript brown shoe, also very versatile. I would not run in them as I think I could come out of them like I did when pushing a pallet with wheels up a steep drive. They have worked great thus far for: walking dogs, flying small airplanes, driving, lifting weights, travel/events, and in a school/teaching environment. I’ll note that as a person with heel bone spurs I notice absolutely no irritation which for me is a really big deal. The sock like fit is superb though a pair in a primal fit for true pizza feet would be cool. Thank you!

    I LOVE my Rougues, but…

    Rating

    I purchased my first set or Rouges in October of 2021. They are wonderful, but they've been worn so heavily that they are showing their age. So, I just ordered a second pair--same style, color, and (apparent) size. HOWEVER, The new size 11s are noticeably smaller than the previous size 11s. I had hoped that they'd stretch a little with wear, but no such luck. They aren't terrible but they aren't nearly as freeingly comfortable as my first pair. I'd consider going up a size, but my concern is they'll be too large. The difference from 2021 to 2025 seems to be about a half size. So, I'm stuck. A great shoe that no longer appears to be available in my actual size.

    Response from store

    Note from the Elves: Hi Murph - Thank you for your review. I assure you that after 4 years, our soft leather will most definitely stretch a half size, if not a full size in length. In addition, our feet can change and it is possible that with freeing shoes, your feet get a little bigger? Finally, leather is a natural material, and it may be the new pair has slightly thicker properties than the original pair, which will make them feel much more snug. With this style, going up one size is usually not an issue for most people and we would be happy to help you with that exchange - I will reach out via email.

    They run slightly large

    Rating

    I would have ordered a size down if I had realized how large these shoes run. I have a number of other pairs of Softstar Shoes and should just ignore the advice about sizing up or down when it is given in the item descriptions, and stick with what I considered to be "my size". That being said, these are very nice as slip on shoes for doing things in the yard and, occasionally, for wearing with dressier outfits with appropriate slacks. Recommended but not my favorite style offered here.

    So soft

    Rating

    I stumbled upon the Softstar site, 30-some years after our daughters outgrew the Softstar toddler/child shoes we had. They still are in business! And they make adult shoes! I bought a pair of Rogues for myself and fell in love with them upon arrival. Supple, like a hug for the feet, like a good pair of wool socks. I wear shoes as little as possible, and never in the house, and yet nearly forgot to take them off. They do just fine on Wisconsin winter sidewalks on my daily walks, as long as the snow isn’t deep. Thank you, Elves!

    I am on my 4th pair of these shoes. I wear them every day. I have had to restich the uppers on 2 of my previous pairs. but they are so comfortable I forget that I am wearing them.

    Rating

    No, really. The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I feel like I can do anything in them. Dinner. Movies. Gardening. Work. Late night free form jazz dancing. Chasing my dog through the park when she decides it’s time for us to get our steps in. Next stop the moon! They are sized a little longer and a little looser in all the right ways from the more athletic runamocs… it gives them a much more causal feel. Between the two … I don’t think you would need any other shoes. Thanks to the Softstar gang for making my feet feel alive again!

    Rating

    I’m wearing my beautiful brown Rogues as I write. I hope they last forever. I wanted them primarily to serve as my house slipper/shoe, and they fit that role perfectly for me., but the gorgeous soft leather and craftsmanship make them suitable for anywhere. I have a long, wide foot for a woman; I’m also old enough to have put my feet through a lot, including occasional injury with consequent arthritic pain. These are terrifically comfortable and also very good for my balance. I ordered them in wide and love the toe room. I’ll put sheepskin insoles in as the weather gets colder. Love them!

    Just ordered second pair

    Rating

    I have several different styles of softstar shoes and have worn them exclusively for several years. My first pair was the Rogue (which I dyed red), but the toe shape never really worked for my wide foot - so on to others, including the Primal Run Amok, which became my favorites. When the new Rogue, with the wider toe box and gorgeous deep red color, was offered, I snapped it up. After wearing it daily for the last six weeks, and being aware that too often color choices change, I decided to buy a second pair (you can never have too much of whatever it is that makes you smile in the mornings). Maybe a little silly, but now I have a pair in reserve, just in case or when my current pair wears out....

    Back for another pair :-)

    Rating

    I ordered my first pair of Rogues a little over 4 years ago and have worn them from fall through spring every year. The soles show very little wear, but the shoes themselves have really stretched with use. For my first pair, I followed the original sizing instructions (sized up one size) and they fit perfectly out of the box. This time though, knowing how much I wear them and how active I am, I suspected I’d do better with my normal size—and lucky me, there was a pair on Clearance! These are starting out comfortably snug and the footbed is more accurate to the length of my stubby feet. As usual, I will order the optional fleece insoles once the weather cools. Thank you Softstar!

Customer Questions

The Rogue in regular width fits tighter than most of our other adult shoes and may feel snug at first. While the leather will stretch over time, most customers find it best to order the Rogue in regular width one size larger than their regular Softstar shoe size. The Wide width is roomier and more likely to be true to your normal Softstar size.

The Rogue is only available in Regular and Wide widths.
