Spotlight on TAFT: Bold Design Meets Classic Craftsmanship

At Wilde, we believe that style should make a statement—and that’s why we’re thrilled to bring Taft to our collection. Known for their distinctive designs, Taft creates shoes that stand out, crafted for those who aren’t afraid to embrace bold textures and patterns.

Taft’s signature lies in its dedication to both innovation and heritage. Originally, every shoe was handmade in Spain and Portugal, where artisans used premium materials like Italian leather, Portuguese wool, and even rare textiles. This attention to detail results in shoes that are as durable as they are striking, designed for comfort, quality, and aesthetic impact.

I first started wearing Taft after meeting the founder, Kory, in 2015 and instantly appreciated his fearless approach to design. From intricately patterned fabrics to mixed-material uppers, Taft has reimagined what dress shoes can look like. They blend timeless craftsmanship with an artistic edge, making each pair a work of art. For those who appreciate craftsmanship and love shoes with character, Taft is an investment in both quality and individuality.

Whether you’re looking for a statement piece or an everyday pair with flair, TAFT's collection at Wilde offers a refreshing take on modern menswear—one that’s designed to stand out, just like you.
