Beautiful Shoes. Beautiful Prices.
Handmade in Southern Spain 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 vegatable-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?
We are working hard to manage our inventory and make sure we can have your size available. We will try and bring back older styles as often as possible. Be sure to sign up for the Back-in-Stock notifications on the product page to be the first to know when a shoe is back in stock.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Once your order is placed, we will ship within 24 (unless it is a pre-order). Once shipped, the order will arrive in 2-5 days, depending on your location.

Best boots I have ever owned
I just took these on a nine day trip to Iceland. The only shoes I packed. They are incredible. Extremely comfortable, waterproof and versatile. I don't think I will ever need to buy another pair of casual boots again. After fording streams and hiking across glaciers they still look and feel great. Top notch quality.
Best boots I have ever put on!
Literally feel amazing, look great, and I get so many compliments every day. This is my third pair of Taft boots, so I'm obviously addicted. Be gentle with the shoe horn, mine broke, luckily I have a couple from my other taft boots that are a little more sturdy. But anyways, the shoes are AMAZING, just buy a pair.
Vettori Taft Review
Kory, I love the durability of the dragon boot. I have a pair of Jack's too and I'm surprised how.many more comments that I get on them because, I do prefer the dragon boot. Thanks Michael.
Killer boot.....
Third pair of Taft, so great to find such a great product. I have the Troy and Rome boots and they both fit well. The Rome was a little tight. The Troy fit perfect. Both size 12. I ordered the Dragon in Rust, and right out of the box, they fit perfect. The most comfortable of the three boots hands down. A great finish and look to them. I always get compliments on the boots.....classics!
Enter the Dragon!
It was love at first sight with these boots and I immediately signed up to be notified when available. While the online photos are captivating, it pales in comparison to seeing and feeling them firsthand. What an incredibly designed and crafted boot! Beautifully masculine, comfortably tough, I love wearing these versatile boots. No break-in period. I’m already eying the Dragon in Oxblood.
