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!
The shoe I want is sold out... what should I do?
We are working hard to manage our inventory and make sure we can have your size available. We will try and bring back older styles as often as possible. Be sure to sign up for the Back-in-Stock notifications on the product page to be the first to know when a shoe is back in stock.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Once your order is placed, we will ship within 24 (unless it is a pre-order). Once shipped, the order will arrive in 4-7 days, depending on your location.
If you are pre-ordering, the expected shipping date will be in the product description.

United StatesThe Ebony Viking
There’s nothing better looking than a well-dressed man in a high quality boot. I bought these for my hubby’s birthday and he loves them. the quality is exquisite!
United StatesThe Viking Boot in Ebony
These boots are well made and extremely warm for cold environments. I do walk on icy surfaces with no problems as well. Tons of shoe game compliments.
United StatesBeautiful Boot But Runs Small
I originally bought the 13 which was considerably snug. Sent them back and got the size 14 which was still pretty snug. I have narrow medium width feet so there's no issue there plus my Taft Gladiator Boots fit like a dream at size 13. I sent the 14s back but Taft is currently out of size 15. I put myself on the reminder list for when they come back. Disappointed because these shoes look awesome. Sizing is the reason it got one less star however I could tell from walking in them briefly on my living room floor that the boot is high quality. Major props to Taft customer service. They have the best customer service I have received from retail. The return process is relatively painless as well.
United StatesI love these boots!
I was looking for a sturdy pair of cold weather boots, and have loved my other Taft boots so I bought the Viking boots. I love them! The details are amazing and they are so comfortable. I won’t buy any other boots than Taft!
United StatesViking boots
I got them in nines at first. They where to small. I called and customer service told me how to send them back. Also received emails on how to care for them. The tens Are a little big but are comfy. If I could get half size it would be perfecto. It was a great experience. I love them. Thank you Best customer service. If everyone was like your company it would be awesome.
