TAFT Russell Loafer

The newer construction in the Russel loafer creates an all-day wear degree of comfort. The look is still prestigious! The eden jacquard trim is a great touch with this shoe and amps the simpler lines on this deep toned loafer. The shoe is equally attractive in both business casual as well as with a pair of jeans.

Love these loafers! The Eden edge detail is such a nice touch with the suede on these amazing Russell loafers. Taft has done it again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve purchased five pairs of Taft shoes in the past and have genuinely enjoyed all of them, which is why I felt comfortable ordering this pair. Unfortunately, this one was a bit of a letdown. First, they run small. I would definitely recommend sizing up, especially if you’re between sizes. Comfort-wise, the sole is noticeably different from previous Taft shoes I own. Instead of feeling sturdy and supportive, the bottom feels very soft, almost rubbery, and less durable than what I’ve come to expect from the brand. Another drawback is traction. The soles are quite smooth and don’t offer much grip, which makes them feel less secure on certain surfaces. That said, they do look great. Taft still nails the design and aesthetics. Overall, these shoes are just okay. Not bad, but they don’t live up to the quality and structure of earlier Taft pairs I’ve owned. If you’re buying them, I’d suggest sizing up and keeping expectations in check, especially if you’re familiar with Taft’s older styles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] these look great! a little tighter on the foot that my other tafts. . . hoping these will loosen up so I can wear them more.
