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!
The shoe I want is sold out... what should I do?

Great boots. Absurdly comfortable.
These boots are fantastic. Right out of the box, they were ridiculously comfortable. I had no issues with the break-in, and as they've gotten some use, the texture has begun to look even better. I originally ordered them in Oxblood, and the color was brilliant, but I exchanged them for the London Fogs (unfortunately no longer available as of this writing) because I wanted something a bit easier to wear regularly.
United StatesBest boot ever
The Dragon boot is like a dream. Fits great, comfortable, sturdy, and turns the heads of boot connoisseurs and commoners alike. They look awesome with jeans, cords, and even a dress slack (if done right). I have gotten compliments on the look and most definitely the color. Great purchase!
United StatesGreat quality, not so great fit
The boots themselves are great in sleekness and build quality, but they’re just too narrow for me (12W on a Brannock device).
United StatesForest colored dragon boot
Very happy with these boots. I required no help from customer service, I just followed the sizing advice as provided on the website and they fit perfectly out of the box. Did receive a compliment a few days ago: A gentleman standing in line behind me asked “those look like comfortable boots. Are they?” I answered “yes, very comfortable, have a look at Taftclothing.com”
United StatesGreat!
They’re great but have to exchange for a smaller size. Ordered the 12 for someone who wears an 11.5/12 shoe and they were way too big. Definitely getting them in the smaller size though!
