SOFT CALFSKIN LINING

All of our shoes are fully-lined with soft calfskin leather, which means ultimate comfort. Most companies will only partially line their shoes, but we go the extra mile because it means a more comfortable shoe and less break-in time.

FULL-GRAIN LEATHERS

We only use vegetable-tanned, chromium-free, full-grain leathers. These high quality leathers makes our shoes durable and comfortable. We partner with the best mills and tanneries in the world to produce bold styles using the most unique leathers in the world.

PAINTED BY HAND

Our leathers are painted, stained, and burnished by hand. Creating a unique shoe means not being limited on what we can design…finishing the shoes by hand gives us total freedom in our products and makes every single pair a unique piece of art.

HAND-CUT AND STITCHED

All of our patterns are cut by hand. We do not use molds or lasers to cut the leather. This takes much more time but it allows for only the best sections of a hide to be used.

RUBBER COMMANDO SOLE

If you are going for comfort, you should consider our Commando Sole. Very lightweight, water-resistant and no break-in time. This will quickly become your most comfortable pair of Tafts and will be great for the wet weather.

BLAKE-STITCHED CONSTRUCTION

Our shoes feature Blake-Stitched construction for longevity and comfort. It also allows for increased flexibility and a sleek silhouette. You will notice a big difference from normal, cemented shoes to a stitched pair of Taft footwear. Get ready for comfort right out of the box.

Meet the Jack Boot in Black. This boot has quickly become a Taft signature. The upper eyelets are reinforced with interior metal for added durability. The calfskin inner-lining adds support and structure to the 100% wool upper. The sleek, decorative pull tab helps keep the silhouette minimal and clean. The sole unit is an extralight rubber lug sole for added grip and comfort. The Jack boot is incredibly versatile, it pairs as well with formal attire as it does with casual wear. It is easily re-solable which means it will be a classic staple in your wardrobe for years to come. We spared no expense in the making of this boot and the superior comfort and quality is apparent from the moment you slip them on.

Great boots for looking fresh

I honestly love my shoes. I was skeptical about the price but once I got them and tried them on the price spoke for itself. Comfortable and great for looking good. I am looking to get another pair as we speak.
