The Dragon Boot 3.0 in Rust

Colour me impressed, because I am! The boot is comfortable, elegant, versatile, and darned good looking. My only complaint is that the shoe feels comfortable tight but my heel still slips and slides and chaffs, leaving me with heel blisters. But I think I just need to wear thicker socks or maybe lace it up better. I'm not too sure. Could just be apart of the breaking in process as well. But it's a minor complaint as there are solutions! And most likely it's a result more of user error than anything.

I'll definitely be purchasing my next pair of boots from Taft!

shoes are great

These boots tend to run about a size big, but man are they solid. The leather is impeccable quality, the construction is clearly durable and detailed, and the Ridgeway Sole gives a rugged, tough feel to these bad boys. This is an appreciating asset if I've ever seen one. Be about it.

These boots fit great out of box. They look incredible and are not as flashy as the other Taft boots so more of a low key look. I wish they were a little more wide, sometimes boot slips because it's so narrow. Definitely waterproof but the narrowness makes it harder to be a go to bad weather boot. Very evident that its the best materials available and clearly handmade.

I waited a few months before writing a review because I wanted to see how these held up during the winter. I wore these to work everyday, and they broke in fairly easily (within a week or so, with daily wear). I’m on my feet a lot and needed something that looks good but also holds up to daily standing and walking, especially during inclement weather (water resistance was a plus for me). After some wear, I had some issues with the pair I originally bought. Customer service was great and sent a replacement pair. I look forward to buying again in the future.
