The Prince Shoe in Coffee

This is my second pair of Taft shoes. Love the first pair (jack, grey/oxblood). The fit on these is less good: the flaps don’t really lay flat/flush with a foot inside, so the cool look of the overlaid monk closure in the picture doesn’t work as well in practice. The leather was also very stiff: squeaks a lot and cut through my socks and skin on the heel. Hopefully the latter issues resolve as they break in. They’re nice shoes - but my first Taft pair set a high bar and these didn’t meet it.

Everything you expect from a Taft shoe. Sleek, well-fitting, beautiful.

I usually wear an 8, but I buy my TAFT shoes in 7, generally. Even still, these slide a skosh at the tightest setting, more than my Becks or my Paris. Whatever though, they’re absolutely killer shoes.

Bought these shoes for my engagement party and they stole the show. Thank you, Taft! Your quality is second to none.
