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."

Beautiful Boots

"This is the 5th pair of Taft boots I’ve bought. They are just simply beautiful and the best looking boots I’ve ever come across. I have the oxblood, blue and now the brown. Def need to size down from . 5 to 1 whole size, my oxbloods where my first and way too big."

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"

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)
