Bringing back a Taft favorite.
Meet the Viking Boot in Stone, our most anticipated release of the season. This is our most heavy duty boot, featuring a Vibram combat sole, and a specially-developed leather with Charles F. Stead in England. Durable, stylish, and our Founder's all-time favorite.
This leather has been specially developed in collaboration with Charles F. Stead tannery in Leeds, England. Due to the multiple milling and tanning processes associated with the production, irregularities in the leather are to be expected and are a part of the character of this boot. If you are looking for a perfect, regular leather boot, please take note of this before purchasing.

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?

United StatesMy Viking Boots in Stone!
Just love them and after returning them for a 2nd time the fit is perfect and customer service was the best that I've had anywhere ever. Haven't worn them anywhere yet but know that the complements will be there, favorite thing about them is the stone color, Thanks Taft!
United StatesNo fur! Beware.
I love these boots but unfortunately they were listed as fur lined, I specifically remember this because I stalk the TAFT website daily to compliment my current collection of 8. These boots do not have fur as they were previously advertised and I was told these were never listed with fur although there are other customers with this complaint as well. For this reason, a lack of a reasonable response, and essentially half of the shoe I ordered missing I give this shoe a 1 star.
United StatesViking Boots in Stone
I really like these boots. They fit perfectly. A little bit uncomfortable at first, but after a few days they become the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever worn.
United StatesStunning!
I own a TON of shoes. Especially boots! And these are some of my favorites! The stone is just stunning. I got mine with the fur lining and was disappointed to find they've now taken them out of most of the Vikings :( that's a bummer! Love Taft but I wish you'd make available a few sizes down in all of your shoes so women can wear as well...the Vikings are the only ones small enough for me to fit into :(
United StatesViking Boot in Stone
I love the Viking boot in stone. Waited very long for them to come back in stock and very excited to have them. I thought they did fit true to size despite the recommendation to size down. The customer service was excellent. Quality seems very good, will purchase from taft again. Thanks
