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!

United StatesKing of Boots!!
Love this boot! Mine were comfortable from day 1! The Vibram sole is a must in a climate like Minnesota.
United StatesImpeccable materials and style!
These boots are a head turner! They have a fresh out the factory feel to them and I like everything about them!! Very satisfied!!! Thanks you Taft and I will be buying another style soon!!
United StatesGlued to my feet
These are the most fantastic boots. Full stop. I've worn them in the snow and my feet stayed dry, I've worn them on the beach, hiking through mud and on city streets... and they're still as beautiful as the day I opened them. I wear US Women's 8.5 wides, bought them in a 7 and they're perfect. Oh and yes, I get compliments on them all the time. Comfortable, practical, attractive. Can't say enough good things.
United StatesGreat Boot
These are great and very stylish but they take some time to break in like a true hiking boot. They get better each wear but took about 4-5 uses to really feel comfortable.
United StatesStyle and Sturdy
I am a shoe/boot hound, but for now these Viking in stone color are my favorite. They are on my feet now. Taft customer service help get the final proper size after three attempts. I started with size 11, then 12, then finally size 13 fit perfectly. So buy up in size. It is worth the effort to get the right size. More people give me eye to boot contact instead of eye to eye contact. I am taking good care these. When they are not on my feet the shoe tree is in place. This boot in stone color is often in short supply. So grab them when you can.
