United StatesAbout a year after I met my girlfriend she purchased a pair of Taft boots and gifted them to me for my birthday. The Jack Boot, in Brown. Likely because she had grown tired of listening to me talk about how beautiful they looked. I remember then, they arrived in plain packaging, a simple and modern yet austere black box. I wore them everywhere; to work, to class, in my house. Never before had I received more compliments on anything I wore. They survived trudging through a number of Chicago winters, the salt and snow. Through my own fault and neglect, I wore straight through the bottom of them. My eyes began to wander, my attention shifted to the Rome Boot in Oxblood. The full-grain leather upper, the rich finish, the slight red tint! My Jack Boots began to leak, but I wore them nonetheless.. Time passed, law school came and went, my girlfriend moved to the coast. Three years?! Where did they go? What was I doing that whole time? Good fortune came, my career began. I purchased the Rome Boot in Oxblood. The other day, while sitting at O'Hare a friendly woman stopped her luggage cart and said, "I REALLY LIKE THOSE BOOTS!" Here we are together again, my boots, my girl, and me.
United StatesI purchased the Rome Boot in cognac on my 18th birthday, I am now 21 and have retired these boots. They were my daily wear and I have so many memories made while wearing them, I have put these boots to the test and they have never let me down, They have been in snow, rain, mud and anything else you can think of. They are a strong and beautiful boot that can handle whatever life throws at you. I currently own five pairs of taft shoes and these are my favorite, i will definitely never be getting rid of them because of the sentimental value but I will be purchasing another pair just like them from TAFT and hopefully I will own one in every color soon. Thank you Kory for a wonderful boot.

United StatesI waited so long to pull the trigger on these shows because of the price tag but I’m so glad I did. As soon as I got them I knew it was money well spent. I love my shoes. I get compliments on them every time I wear them.
United StatesThese fit a little looser than a regular laced dress shoe but in a good way. The pull tab tends to catch pants when standing up but these are so that it's worth it.
