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.

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!

Beautiful boots
These are a nice pair of boots. Fits great, very stylish. Well made pair, soles got a nice grip action. Love the rust color.
United StatesNo regrets! Top notch boots
Love everything about these boots. I wear them whenever I get the chance. Sizing runs a little large.
United StatesDragon Boots in Rust
So far so great! Boots fit well and needed minimal break in time. Waterproof as advertised. War them to a march and a wedding - perfectly versatile. Customer service was great in their responses to my basic boot care qs.
United StatesHow do you improve on perfect?
Title might seem a bit over-the-top, but I've been waiting for TAFT to put out a boot like this. A rugged workboot, water/snow proof, and still dress enough for a suit...but had the TAFT fit and finish, style and comfort. That was the Dragon v1. Bought a pair, love them. Then these come out...and WOW...such subtle changes but it was substantial enough that I bought a second pair. The leather has a subtle "roughing" but also has cleaner cut lines, the sole remains rugged, but the added lines and color add a sophistication, and the cloth loop (which I thought I'd hate) makes it easier for my wool suit pant to drape over as they should. Bravo!...so subtle, but such an improvement. I wear these with a wider variety of suits to work and business meetings and they look fantastic.
United StatesGreat boots
