Apologies if the info is somewhere else here but has anyone any experience of Russell Mocassins or Yuketens? Looking at a pair of Russell Country Chukkas, Russell Mcintosh Birdshooters or Yuketen Maine boots. Not got enough in the bank yet but was wondering which I should go for. Any suggestions/experiences that could guide me in my rather expensive choice?
Thanks! -
regarding snow boots, I've a pair of these Sorel x Concepts collabs that are a hair big… size 10 with felt innerboot, that I'd consider parting with if someone was interested. Very lightly used. I wear big wool socks and they're fine but otherwise get more heel slip than I'd like. If interested PM.

Thanks!can only quote Yuk Maines -but love them . . . if you have a choice get the natural rubber sole (work with the boot better), vibram christies look ok but the sole isn't all that long lasting and not so easy to replace!
my boots are horween chromexcel - brilliant pull-up leather, and decent thickness without being too stiff

Bertoni.
I am also a UK 9 in most shoes and boots. I bought a pair of Yuk, scotch grain brown angler shoes from Bureau in Belfast ( great store if you have not familiar with them, check them out online ). I sized down 1/2 size and the fit is spot on. If I had bought a US 10 ( UK 9 ) they would have been too loose for sure. If you are buying them online without having tried them first then I would suggest you buy them in size US 9 1/2 ( UK 8 1/2 ).
The shoes themselves are really well made, I have been very impressed with them and can recommend them highly. It is only the high price that put folks off, however the old saying of "you get what you pay for" is certainly true for Yuk products.
Hope this helps

The Yuketen Maine Guide Boot definitely runs 1/2 to 1 full size large. I'm between a 9.5 and 10 on most shoes, 9.5 in an Alden Indy. If I recall the Yuk's only come in full sizes, I bought a 10 and it was a full size too large.
As an aside, the Yuketen stuff I find terribly hard to find online. They have a rather broad selection on their site (no online store there of course) but most pieces can't be found anywhere that I've come across.
