Meet the Kennedy. Our favorite thing about this shoe is the versatility. Wear it with slacks, wear it with jeans, wear it to work or a dinner party. The Kennedy will quickly become your new go-to. This is a captoe lace-up with Blake construction. It has a reinforced stacked leather sole with rubber inserts for extra durability. The wool flannel is made in Italy and then shipped to our factory in Spain. When we initially previewed the shoe it became a fast favorite and we couldn't be happier to finally have it available.

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 42, you can order a size 42 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 43.5, we recommend that you size down to a 43.
If you have any specific questions, you can email us at internationalsupport@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. Once shipped, the order will arrive in 4-7 days, depending on your location.
Free Returns are offered on all shoe purchases within European Union countries, unless otherwise noted on certain products (namely Final Sale items or seconds). Return requests must be made within 14 days of the date you receive your shoes. Requests after this point will be denied.
Shipping for Exchanges or Returns is free of charge within the EU for one return or exchange per order. If a second exchange or return is requested, the cost of the second shipping will be covered by the customer.

Comfortable & versatile
My second pair of Taft shoes...they are a bit tighter than the Saint boots, but still very comfortable. These shoes literally go with everything (except shorts) - I've already received tons of compliments. Highly recommend.
United StatesStars and Stripes: My Kennedys
I styled my Kennedys the other night at Socialista in Miami, and compliments rained down on me from the cloudless sky. I paired the shoes with black tuxedo pants, a tuxedo shirt, and a cream colored double breasted blazer with a black polka dot pocket square. That’s winning me the title of Best Dressed Man in Miami!
United StatesVery Pleased with My Latest Purchase-The Kennedy
My son loves Taft shoes in general, and is especially enjoying his newest pair-The Kennedy, gifted from his mom! They are quality, comfort and class, all rolled into one. With Taft, you get what you pay for! Very pleased!
United StatesFantastic Shoe
Purchased these shoes and I absolutely love them. My 5th pair if I am being honest (I may have a problem here lol). Nice color in a style that you can wear dressy or casual. Build of the shoes is great as well. I would just be careful with their sizing. Their boots seem to fit more true to size. However, the shoes are a bit snug. I'd recommend sizing up on all pairs as i had to do the same. Other than that, fantastic shoes with quality craftsmanship.
United StatesMy new favorite shoes
These shoes are fantastic! They fit perfectly, are super comfortable, and go with everything I own. This is the first pair of shoes I've ever worn that have been complimented - and they get complimented a lot. I'm already eyeing another pair, maybe in green this time...
