Yuketen

[Giles]

Thanks.  They will be pefect.  Construction is superb.  Leather and crepe outstanding.  Not too comfy yet, I need to force the poor things into submission, but I suspect a walk to the pub tonight will sort that out…..G

@Mich:

Curious about your experiences too, especially how the crepe sole feels.

Bouncy….........

@bertoni:

Got the boots through today. First impressions…unbelievable quality...much better than anything i've owned before...Only problem is the sizing. I sized down a half size and shouldn't have. They're on their way back to The Bureau as we speak. Going TTS. So if you're thinking of going for a pair of Yuketen Double Wool Hunt Boots...GO TTS! By the way, these look SO much better in the flesh than in photos. Beautiful chunky mother hens! Not regretting spending all that cash for things of such quality and beauty. Guess that's what we all look for in our gear.

@bertoni:

M!ch…you really gotta go for these...original but not as far out as photos would suggest. Incredible boots.

I know man, my only fear is that is won't like how the beige crepe sole feels…
If only i could try them on before buying!

So the main guide boot on the Vibram is a much safer bet for me, as i'm pretty confident i will love everything about these.
Good to know they look even better in the flesh, i already like the look of them on the photos!

A shame the sizing didn't work out for you, but it gives me a better idea that i should stick with my regular RW size of 9,5E instead of sizing half a size down to my Alden size.

M!ch be careful with the Maine sizing. I think Geo said he sized down half a size on those. Check earlier in the thread. Gareth at The Bureau Belfast also said the Maine ran bigger than the Hunt Boot. Do like the look of that I must admit. Would go with the Brown personally. When you gonna take the plunge? Don't think you'll regret it!

Glad they arrived from SFD..looking superb..

Roger from VMC was super kind and organized a pair of Yuk´s for me - they just arrived today..so I guess it´s Yuketen day.
I wanted some really wild ones , and hell, those shoes are wild..feels like wearing slippers , the sole is so bouncy..

It's Mrs G's birthday tomorrow.  I was going to get her a pair of these, but when I showed them to her, she nearly threw up:

[Beatle]

lol..that´s too funny…tell P. they´re supacool

[Seul]

haha so they àre the same… Damn - how a different angle can make a huge difference...

[Giles]

Yeah, you see I love them.  Maybe I give Mrs G a style implant for her Bday….............

[nameness]

Those look a thousand times better on, very cool Beats!

FedEx just notified me I have a pair of Hunting Boots sitting on my doorstep, I suddently want to go home sick.  Ordered the Mocs from The Bureau yest, too.

[Beatle]

lol..as said - I wasn´t looking for any kind of regular shoe, I figured if I do Yuketen I want something that´s just a little bit out there…but I gotta tell you - these things are comfy and weigh like zero

[Beatle]

Yuketen week..looking forward to ur pics,nameness..and hell , Giles - tell P. she can switch her xmas gift (in pink) for a pair of those..maybe that will convince her

[Geo]

aaawww - poor Seul

maybe after you've been sick you'll get your taste back ( ;)) . . . those shoes are amazing!!!

[Geo]

. . . plus the world has gone Yuketen crazy

[Seul]

These come in black as well?.. What's the sole made out of?..

[Mich]

Beatle, you can make anything look good,
those are really awesome on you!

Oh thanks for the warning, might have to reconsider sizing again in that case and go with a 9 after all.
It also depends if E width is available, because i could also possibly fit the more narrow D width when i go up half a size.
I really love the cerise maine guide boot with the deerskin tongue, that looks so soft and comfy 
Don't know when i'll take the plunge, i'm also considering some other options (White's or Wesco in roughout on a Vibram sole) at the moment.
