The Rome Boot wasn't created to make an impression—it was created to leave one. Bold without being loud, it reveals its character slowly, rewarding a closer look with layers of texture, depth, and craftsmanship that unfold over time. Like the man who wears it, its strongest qualities aren't immediately obvious—they're discovered.

Crafted from premium gold-grade leather, the Rome features TAFT's signature Ghost Floral Hand-Finished Brush-Off Technique over an embossed floral pattern—a living finish that gradually reveals warm honey leather beneath the surface as it evolves with time and wear. This natural evolution creates a rich patina—the visible record of craftsmanship shaped by experience. Every shift in tone, every crease, and every subtle variation deepens its character, creating a finish no factory could ever replicate.

Handcrafted in a small family-owned factory in Italy using Blake stitch construction, the Rome features full leather linings, a removable German-engineered polyurethane comfort insole, and a rugged lug outsole designed for lasting comfort and confident footing. Designed to be resoled and worn for years to come, the Rome wasn't created simply to endure—it was created to become more meaningful over time.

The finest details aren't the ones that demand attention. They're the ones worth discovering.

Exceptional boots

"I really love the look and feel of these boots, as do many others, evident by the numerous compliments I receive. I am however, a little concerned about the finish. I've had them for four months now and have only worn them 2-3 times each month yet they seem to be developing very visible cracks which I hope is only in the finish and not the actual leather. I'll apply some leather salve and see how they look afterwards. This is one of 4 pair of Taft boots I now own. I certainly look forward to more."

Perfect 👌

"Looks great and perfect."

— Andrew K. (5/5)

The quality seems less than

"The quality seems less than 3 years ago when I bought the Paris Noir (same boot changed names) The shoes from 3 years ago had leather soles instead of the plastic in these new ones, and the current leather feels thinner and a bit like cardboard now. The pair that was sent to me had a painful fold in the padding of the shoe so its been replaced. That replacement service has gone well but I am still waiting on my replacements. It was also smaller across the instep so I have ordered a half size up."

Spanky's Perspective

"Super, all around! Quality and fit!"

— Leo R. (5/5)

Beautiful work!

"The boots look very nice. The only issue I have and I hope will be resolved over time, is the top of the boot is very stiff and without a thicker sock would be unwearable for any length of time. I hope they "relax" after some use."

— Steve B. (4/5)

Beautiful boots

"Not only do these boots fit perfectly on my size 13 feet, they are strikingly, beautiful. When I lace them up, and take them for a spin, it feels like all is right with the world!"

— Jean S. (5/5)

Another Great Taft Boot

"I own 10+ Taft’s now and these are probably the comfiest I have purchased. Not sure if they changed their sole for all styles or just this one but I wish it were in all my boots. Really like this boot as an everyday. The one thing I will say is the boot is more of a brown than a “light brown”."

— Jon T. (1/5)

Cute

"Love the new pattern. Makes my fourth Rome boot!!"

— Norman P. (5/5)

The Best Boots

"These are simply my favorite boots ever. I've now owned them in the Heritage leather in brown twice. I wore my first pair out and eventually ruined them in a bad rain storm. My wife bought me a new pair for Christmas and I remember why I loved them so much. Perfect color and style, yet comfortable to be an everyday office shoe with business casual."

— Brandon (5/5)

"These boots are a work of art!"

— Nicholas (5/5)
