The integrity and honesty of Heath and Trenton really comes through in this video. The more videos they do the more we all benefit from their teaching. Faster, faster, more, more.
Ha my boots, what a great surprise! Thanks so much for the great content and service, very informative. You're right, they are very comfortable out of the box. I do also have a pair of their Dragons which are Goodyear welted, and they do feel 100% different. Break in took quite a while whereas these were great right out of the box. Totally different feel. I commend you on the quality of your work, you would never know that these didn't come right from the factory with the Dainite! As much as the inserts are great, the weather here just requires the full rubber outsole. Thank you gentlemen!
Chris Dittrick Thank you for sending them in to us, Chris! As soon as we saw they were Taft, we knew we had to do a video. 😉 Very nice boots! Glad you like the Dainite resole...and thanks again!
Is it just me or, does Heath sound exactly like Peyton Manning !!?? 🤔 The first time I heard his voice, I thought “what is Peyton Manning doing talking about shoes” ! 🤣🤣
Hey guys, I don't actually believe these are Chelsea boots at all. The title is incorrect. These boots are not slip on boots with elastic/rubber, but feature a buckle instead. Check out 3:40 - you can see the buckle and profile of the boot a bit better. These are Jodhpurs. In fact, here’s the link to the boot on Taft’s website: taftclothing.com/products/the-dylan-boot-in-black-new#the-dylan-boot-in-black-new
Hey guys! I have a question, how does one go about getting shoes with a fiddle back/beveled waist resoled? Is it possible to have this done and maintain the shape or do they need to be replaced with flat soles
I’ve been waiting for a review on Taft from you guys for awhile. I’ll admit I was holding my breathe a bit because I’ve never actually seen much in-depth review of their products before. I’m glad to see that they’re putting out a product that’s decent quality along with their unique shoe designs. Maybe if you don’t get a good year welt model of their shoes in soon, you might see one of mine come into your shop later!
Great review. Your expertise helps us make an educated decision at the time of choosing a pair of shoes or boots that will become a life long companion
I bought a pair about 8-9 months ago. I decided to wear them last week. At first, they were comfortable but, the more I walk I could feel that something was wrong. Then I looked down, my right foot kept going inward. I almost got a panic attack. So, we came back and try my Meermins, walked a while with them on. Everything was alright. I wish I could get my money back but, it's been a while.
Next: Adelante Shoe Co. made to order in Guatemala? Just acquired a pair of Chelsea boots and very pleased. Interesting process, you’re assigned a shoe maker and receive videos during construction.
Men's or women's...These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. One of these days those boots, are going to walk...just about every where!!! ***** Ever seen a pair of "Georgio Brutini"? Please advise.
@@gweran108 yeah havent resoled my dragons either i actually have the v1 of them with the dainite soles and they my favorite boots forsure, my Romes were resoled with vibram soles are they are amazing

I’m kinda conflicted. I like watching you all actually taking them apart. But, I know that having them already disassembled saves time. Both presentations are good and informative
James Evans Thank you, James! We may play around with doing the take apart in fast speed?? Trying to feel it out without making these reviews too long. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great review as always! I keep learning so much from you two and your frankness and honesty is so refreshing. I’ve been looking at purchasing these boots because I really like their styles, but was waiting for your review regarding quality of their construction. I think I’ll order a pair and see if they are comfortable.
Thanks guys for this review. I have been looking at getting the Mack boot but having purchased nothing yet. Glad you guys did a review on this brand. Great video
As somebody who actually makes footwear I prefer blake stitch construction it is better then good year welt as made by the big factories. Shoe makers who make good year welt shoes these are better. Their shoes will be stronger then the factories and will give a thinner sole when finished single or double sole. I will admit that your narrative is very good. Fibre heel blocks are terrible
I hold your opinions highly. Purchased a pair of Taft Chelsea boots that arrived today. Ugh. No quality control. Nada. The boots looked mismatched. Returned immediately. Taft clearly has growing pains. Would not recommend buying now or the immediate future.
RV X EV Sorry to hear about the experience. We try to review the quality of the materials/craftsmanship of the shoes/boots at hand. We hope you’ll continue watching our reviews on shoes/boots from that aspect. As far as customer service and overall experience from a brand, I would definitely check out The Kavalier. He does very thorough reviews from that aspect.
By no means high end but my wife loves the Thursday Chelsea’s i bought her that match mine. I don’t wear that style often enough to justify buying a higher end boot
I really wonder what the Taft GYW items compare to the Meermin's and Carmina's of the world, especially since they are made in Spain. I own a couple of their GYW stuff, and they look great. Let me know if I could get them featured on a video (I need rubber half soles installed on them!).
Hi guys, loved this video. I enjoy the parts where you take the shoes apart the most, so I missed that a bit. For another video could you guys give us a review of a pair of Pepe Milan's? Take a look at there website. They are really out of the box. Pepemilan.com
What soles did you guys resole it with? I really like Taft's weird designs but I don't know what resoling options there are for them. I especially like the fiddleback design. Would it be possible to keep that with a resole?
I'd be interested to see a review of Thomas George boots. They're a small Australian company that gets its boots made by Fugashin. It seems like they're trying to do a similar thing to Thursday -- good quality boots at a lower price than the competition (about the same price as Thursday). I bought a pair of their stitchdown ones and love them so far, but I'd be keen to see how they compare to other brands out there.
I never thought watching guys repair shoes would interest me. ... surprise, surprise! I love it! Even though I'm a woman and don't wear men's shoes I still enjoy watching. It took me a while to realize there were even shoes in the videos. I was too busy looking at the eye candy!! You guys are fine.
Merriman’s colors are so uneven. I bought a pair, exchanged them and the replacement was exactly the same. Is there a way to make the color more even with a cream or will the dark spots just get darker?
Have you guys heard of Adelante shoes? I've seen their advertisements pop up on social media feeds and they look nice. I'd love to see what you think of them.
Great video, as per usual! Really appreciate the pragmatic approach to discussing the design of the shoe/boot - much respect for that! A question not related to this specific video, and I assume I've overlooked the answer to this in your other videos: Whose music are you using for your two theme tunes (thinking of the title/logo screen and then your background music)? I'd like to hear more from that artist.
love to see you do this with Barkers, Cheaney, and current Loakes & Grensons too see how the latters constructions may of changed since moving their manufacturing out of the UK.
Trenton & Heath oh awesome! I’ve always wanted a pair because they make some big sizes ! I’ll wait and see what you have to say tho before I spend that much on a boot 👌
I dropped by y'alls shop this past Wednesday and got to meet your Dad. What a pleasant gentleman. Bought some Renovateur and showed off my 'Ebay Challenge' shoes (Allen Edmonds New Orleans for $50).
Once again we are refreshed with another great video, its so good to see true craftsman who are humble and honest with out an agenda other than informing us, well done guys.
Very informative video! I have a “standard” feet but this boots are to narrow I try stretching at my local shoe repair and wasn’t enough. Good news that they have a good customer services took a little bit of time but I was able to return it and get my money back.
I have 2 pairs from Taft. Got them on separate years during their Black Friday sale. They don't sale half sizes. My first pair which was their Jack boot, I got a size 12. I wish they had a 12.5, would've been a perfect fit. It's slighty tight on the wide part of my right foot and causes discomfort after wearing them a while. My second pair which was their Rome boot, again size 12. This time it was a perfect fit and could wear them all day with no issue.
I got the Dragon 2.0s last year and I had a problem where the heel of the right boot was too tight on one side. I've never had that problem before or since on any other boot so I assume it was a quality control issue. Anyway I put leather conditioner on the inside there (the outside is waxed suede so it wouldn't work there) and when I placed a shoe tree in I put the back against that spot hoping it would stretch out a bit. It took about 9 months of wearing them 1-2 times a week but they're all good now. Though I didn't start using the trees or the conditioner for the first few months. I was new at nice boots and shoes. But yeah, leather conditioner and shoe trees. Hope that helps.
@@DubbleM900 thanks, I might have to try something like that. The Jack boot is wool, at least the part that ends up uncomfortable. Maybe I have to stuff the inside to try to expand it.
In Trenton and Heath we trust (when it come to shoes and boots). I'm thinking of investing in a pair of wholecut oxfords....budget is a real factor so I think Meermin...what say you guys? Thanks Tony
tonydeltablues Hahaha...thank you! Has a nice ring to it. 😁 We both have some Meermin’s, and we’ve both been quite pleased with them. For what you get for the money, it’s crazy...in a good way! I don’t think you can go wrong for that price.
@@TrentonHeath Thanks - I'm waiting for the UK size 10 stock to come in - then I'll buy :-) I have bought 2 pairs o ebay at a bargain price (cap toe suede and black cap toe in leather) and I've been impressed. Thanks for you input. Tony
Hey guys, great video as always! In your video about 10 shoe brands to avoid, one of the brands worth checking out that y'all mentioned is Apoint. How are their shoes? Do you have any hands-on experience with them? I'm tempted to buy a pair but without a proper and honest review, I'm skeptical because of the corners some DTC brands cut.
Yazza Yap Thank you! Heath and I both have a pair of Apoint shoes. We were quite impressed again with the over materials and quality at their price point. We’ve been meaning to do a review on them and should have one coming out very soon.
@@TrentonHeath Awesome! I'll wait for your review then. It's too bad that most of their styles are either sold out or not in my style. I tried emailing them about restocking a week ago with no reply. A shame they don't offer a black balmoral cap toe oxford. You and the Elegant Oxford are my two favorite shoe RUclipsrs and I've learnt a lot from y'all! I'm really interested to have shoe shining as a side gig now!

Hi, John! Johnston & Murphy uses something like a compressed wood, and we’re definitely not fans of it. The problem with many wooden heel blocks is that they can easily crack when trying to remove them for a resole, and/or they have to be built back up using leather. Not saying the overall shoe is bad, as we haven’t had the chance to look into Anthony Veer shoes. We’re just not big fans of brands using wood or compressed wood heel blocks.
Trenton & Heath Thanks. I’ll be sticking with your recommendations anyway. Love what you’re doing; need to get by the shop before you close it to the public.
Happy to see this review!!! I’ve been seeing so many ads so now I want to know what you think of them. I love my Thursday boots and waiting for your colab with them!
Rubber Injected Leather Sole: that is definitely a modern innovation, and classy too. I wouldn't mind a pair of those. But, why the leather instead of cork with that particular type of welt though?
The integrity and honesty of Heath and Trenton really comes through in this video. The more videos they do the more we all benefit from their teaching. Faster, faster, more, more.
😁 Thank you sir! We definitely try to do just that.

REVIEW GRANT STONE SHOES POR FAVOR!
Hot damn I love your channel! Rose Anvil sent me your way and I’m super glad he did
On a similar note, I've been seeing a lot of Untamed Street ads lately. Styles look intriguing. Wondering about quality.
BTW: Those aren't Chelsea Boots. Those are Jodhpur boots. Very different.
Aiwanse Good point! We shot this video over a month ago, and I had forgotten what the boots looked like before uploading. Thanks for the correction.
@@TrentonHeath Not a problem. Looking forward to the next video.

Better value than Thursday's?
I think Taft boots are so lovely. Very attractive. 👌🏽

Good one.
i got 3 pairs of Taft boots and ive gotten one resole, Dragons are my favorite pair but i was looking into grabbing a pair of these
Overall, we were quite pleased. 👍🏻
I have a pair of dragons and they are quickly becoming my go-to semi casual boot. Haven’t had to have them resoled
yet though.
@@gweran108 yeah havent resoled my dragons either i actually have the v1 of them with the dainite soles and they my favorite boots forsure, my Romes were resoled with vibram soles are they are amazing
How did you choose your boot sizes in Taft? Did you size up or down? And if you sized down, was there enough room?
My feet are 11.5. I, per their recommendation, sized down to 11 and returned them for a size 12.
What hair products do y’all use?
Amazing..I also wanted to ask thatm
Blue Peter 😁
@@TrentonHeath please make a video about that also

The problem with many wooden heel blocks is that they can easily crack when trying to remove them for a resole, and/or they have to be built back up using leather. Not saying the overall shoe is bad, as we haven’t had the chance to look into Anthony Veer shoes. We’re just not big fans of brands using wood or compressed wood heel blocks.
Trenton & Heath Thanks. I’ll be sticking with your recommendations anyway. Love what you’re doing; need to get by the shop before you close it to the public.
This video was worth the wait, very happy you made a Taft Review.
Thank you, Felix! Hope it helps.

The leather on Taft shoes feels plasticky. Similar to Stacy Adam's, with similar uncomfortabilty.
Rubber Injected Leather Sole: that is definitely a modern innovation, and classy too. I wouldn't mind a pair of those. But, why the leather instead of cork with that particular type of welt though?
Interesting information (& I’m a lady...)👍😺😃
catips Glad you enjoyed! We appreciate you watching.
