Meet the Russell in Eden. We have been working on a loafer for a couple years and never felt like we nailed it. Now we do! We took our traditional TAFT design aesthetic and applied it to a classic tassel loafer. Comfortable, bold, well-made, and will definitely be a go-to shoe in your closet.

Beautiful Shoes. Beautiful Prices.
Handmade in Europe by experienced artisans, every pair is made with precision, patience and decades of experience. We are advocates of ethical fashion.
In a world of poorly made shoes, TAFT products are built to last. Every pair is hand-cut and Blake-stitched using vegetable-tanned leathers from top European tanneries and mills. Your shoes will look beautiful right out of the box, and for years to come.
By selling exclusively online, we save our customers an average of $200 a pair. You can compare the quality of our shoes to $500 shoes you’d find sitting on the shelves at big box stores. From the beginning, we’ve wanted nothing more than to offer high quality at a lower price.
What is my Taft shoe size?
Our shoes are made true to size. If you typically wear a size 9, you can order a size 9 in Taft shoes.
We only offer whole sizes...if you typically wear a half-size, we strongly recommend that you size down. For example, if you wear a size 10.5, we recommend that you size down to a 10.
If you have any specific questions, you can email us at support@taftclothing.com. We are happy to help!

How long will it take to receive my order?

United StatesLove the shoes, could not be happier with the design.
United StatesUnfortunately I haven’t had a chance to wear them yet but the quality of the shoe is great
United StatesI love Taft's shoes. I have five pairs, and this recent addition of the Russell in Eden makes six. With this last pair, I was having some difficulty finding the right size. Typically, I wear a US 9 in boots and dress shoes, but sometimes in loafers I take a US 7 1/2. Well, I started with the 7 - too small - then went to a 9 - too big - so US 8 was going to be the right choice. Unfortunately, even with the email alert, I still missed the restock of US 8 every time. Ryan from customer service was very helpful in resolving this issue, and he even sent me photos of the shoes to make sure they looked up to Taft's standards and mine. Taft was very patient with my several returns and was dedicated in getting me the right size. These Russells are worth it. Comfortable, durable, and bold. This is why I will keep coming back to Taft for shoes.
United StatesLove these shoes, they fit great and were delivered faster than I expected. Lots of compliments and I just love the design and how vivid the colors are.
