Meet The Dragon 2.0 in Rust. We took all the magic of the original Dragon and coupled it with some thoughtful and unique upgrades. We switched over to a sleek, strong nylon pull tab that your pants can easily slip over without getting caught. The 2.0s feature a Ridgeway sole to be even more flexible and comfortable from the first wear and even sturdier in wet conditions. We left the welt and heel stack natural to provide a bit of contrast. In true TAFT fashion, we added a heavy texture to the Stead Waxed Commander leather to make this boot stand out while keeping the boot fully waterproof and maintaining its crazy durability.
- Goodyear Welt Construction
- Waxed Commander Suede from C.F. Stead
- Waxed Laces

Beautiful Shoes. Beautiful Prices.
Handmade in Europe by experienced artisans, every pair is made with precision, patience and decades of experience. We are advocates of ethical fashion.
In a world of poorly made shoes, TAFT products are built to last. Every pair is hand-cut and Blake-stitched using vegetable-tanned leathers from top European tanneries and mills. Your shoes will look beautiful right out of the box, and for years to come.
By selling exclusively online, we save our customers an average of $200 a pair. You can compare the quality of our shoes to $500 shoes you’d find sitting on the shelves at big box stores. From the beginning, we’ve wanted nothing more than to offer high quality at a lower price.
What is my Taft shoe size?
Our shoes are made true to size. If you typically wear a size 9, you can order a size 9 in Taft shoes.
We only offer whole sizes...if you typically wear a half-size, we strongly recommend that you size down. For example, if you wear a size 10.5, we recommend that you size down to a 10.
If you have any specific questions, you can email us at support@taftclothing.com. We are happy to help!

United StatesDragon Boot Review
More than a year ago I ordered the Dragon Boot in Rust. By far it was the best boots I have ever worn. I travel often and many times people ask me where I got them from since they are unique, especially how it transforms over time. When I was in Prague, I lost my original pair during my travels, that's when I learned about the Dragon Boot 2.0. While I'm incredibly sad that I lost my old one since it was my primary travel shoe, I'm very excited to get the 2.0!
United StatesGREAT boot, but mine is tearing a bit
My TAFT Dragon boots are excellent. They fit well, the sole is high quality, and the leather is soft, comfortable, and durable. However, a seam at the back has started to come apart after only 8 months or so. I expected these boots to last much longer than that. They still function well, but the tearing at the back is not visually appealing, obviously.
