The Rome dress boot by TAFT is a bold statement piece, crafted in Italy with striking prints and designs, including croc print and floral patterns. Made from full grain leather and suede, it features a classic lace-up closure and a sleek silhouette.

Inspired by the sculptural beauty of medieval armor, Forged Floral transforms premium gold-grade leather into a modern expression of strength. Dimensional floral embossing and a hand-finished metallic brush-off technique create depth, texture, and a finish that evolves with every wear.
As the leather ages, subtle shifts in tone reveal a rich personal patina—making every crease and mark part of its character. Handcrafted in Italy and designed to endure, no two pairs will ever evolve quite the same.

The strongest things aren't formed all at once. They're shaped through experience.

Inspired by the sculptural beauty of medieval armor, Forged Floral reimagines an enduring symbol of protection as an expression of purpose, conviction, and personal style. Bold forms and dimensional florals transform timeless silhouettes into wearable sculpture—pieces made not simply to endure, but to become more distinctive with every chapter.

Defective Rome Boots & Sizing Issue with Sterling Loafers

"Unfortunately, the boots arrived looking as though they had already been tried on. The laces were loose, there were no protective inserts inside, and the inside of the shoebox was dirty. More concerning, when I tried them on, I felt something sharp inside one boot. After inspecting it, I found that one of the internal metal studs was protruding through the lining, making the boot uncomfortable to wear. This is clearly a quality control issue and should never have passed inspection. I expected much better from a brand in this price range."

— Daniel M. (2/5)

Toe Box

"I wrote an email a few weeks ago about some boots I bought 2 years ago. The toe box was too low and I thought it would stretch out after they broke in a bit. So they recommended buying a half size bigger. Bought a half size bigger on sale and the toe box is the same. Now Im stuck with a pair of boots I cant wear because the sale was final. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."

Handcrafted Art

"Handcrafted pieces of art. These boots are absolutely show stoppers and I continue to build my collection of Taft boots. This would mark my 10th pair of Taft boots. Quality, detailed, and comfortable."

— Irene O. (5/5)

almost great

"I ordered these for myself as a fathers day gift. they were shipped fairly quickly. I will say these boots are beautiful, and I couldn't wait to try them. But that was when disappointment happened. They are definitely narrow. I fit and leather shoes from Clark's at size 15 D, these boots definitely run narrow. they weren't just snug, they were painful. Hopefully you guys can get boots in that are wider. I was really hoping they fit well so I could order them in oro viejo as well"

— Tony J. (5/5)

Nice Boot

"They look great. The intricacies make the boot special. They fit true to size and there are no breaks in the sole."

— John M. (5/5)

Legendary

"I absolutely love my new Tafts! My first pair i got it 7 years ago. I did ~17,000 steps at a conference the first day I wore them and 7 years later are still going strong. I am loyal to Taft. Thank you!"

— Richard G. (5/5)

Saved the day!!!!!!!

"I rarely wear black shoes, so when I had to wear some here recently I realized that mine were substandard and ordered these. They arrived in the nick of time and saved the day. Thanks you!."

— Steven S. (5/5)

elevated and stylish

"I love the style of these boots. They have a classic silhouette but the pattern really elevates it. I can wear these to work, at night, and at weddings."

— Ryan M. (5/5)

Great boots but they are narrow and small

"Definitely order a size larger than usual. These are made for people with thin feet. Size is pretty tight too. Otherwise the build, materials and craftsmanship are fantastic."

— William M. (3/5)
