The Jude Boot in Honey Floral

I have several pairs of quality boots. I wanted to get myself a nice Chelsea style boot and came across Taft and the Jude. I love the color - it stands out, but isn't overly bright. The embossed pattern in the leather is very eye catching. The boot appears to be solidly built with quality materials. I have a couple of comments for Taft regarding the Jude. After wearing the boots just a couple of times out and about, the coloration on the heels became a bit blotchy. I applied some wax which addressed that issue. Secondly, I am fairly particular about the support in my footwear, and in most instances use a premium after market insole. Unfortunately, the insole that comes in the Jude is glued in - surprising for a premium boot. It takes a certain leap of faith and considerable effort to rip out the insole and replace it with one I prefer. I would suggest that Taft not use insoles that are glued to the footbed.

The Jude Honey Floral boot is a beautiful shoe, fits true to form and is pretty comfortable. This has to be my favorite Taft boot so far!

This is my first pair of Taft boots and they are excellent. Aesthetically beautiful and extremely comfortable. I was skeptical about the sizing. I wear a 12 across the board and most often need a EE wide so naturally I was nervous when I ordered these. There is absolutely nothing to worry about, these boots fit perfectly just as the Taft size guide said they would. The first time I put them on there was a pressure spot and then after walking around a bit it was gone. I love these boots and can’t wait to get other shoes from Taft.

Gorgeous boots. Trust me the pictures do not do them justice.
