Yuketen
-
Alright, Yuketen experts… I received my Angler Mocs. I went TTS and they're a little tight from the ball of my foot to my toes. They're leather lined but I feel like if they have some stretch in them I'll be ok. Any experience here? Thanks.
cowsareforeating - How are your Angler Mocs treating you? I didn't see them listed as leather lined, are they?

they are fully leather – no synthetic from what i can tell. I wouldn't call them lined. And yes -- they probably will stretch a little bit.
no firsthand experience with stretching, but I haven't been wearing mine since my 301s are still less than a month old and i didnt want bleeding on them.
Oh the rigors
of owning jeans and shoes that i both love -

they'll give quite a bit on width - the leather is quite supple

you could probably swap out the insole for a lower profile/slimmer one if you are so inclined too.

I love my Yuketen Hunt Boots. The leather tongue is buttery soft.

lurk around sf and sufu, i got my yuk mocs for 150. also, some random stores carry yuketens, and at the end of each major season there should be clearance – some guy was picking them up at 30 dollars a pop in some store that i dont remember
got my yuk boots for 150 too...
that being said, i would pay retail for my moccassins, and if i found the perfect boot i would pay retail too.

I paid retail and don't regret it at all. Firstly the sizing issues with Yuketen, which vary from model to model mean you're never quite sure how they're gonna fit. Buying from a reputable retailer (I can recommend TheBureauBelfast) allows for error as most accept exchanges. Secondly, the quality is so good you really don't mind having paid what amounts to a shed load of cash for your shoes/boots. You certainly don't feel cheated.

Thinking of getting these… All this talk and all those pics made me want a pair bad...
I'm a UK 8 though but these run a tad bigger?..

Prior to reading this, I told the seller that if he were to split shipping costs and ship today, I'd be Paypal ready…
PS: my Diors are like new, thanks!.. I had the brilliant idea to stuff them with unwashed, red hankies though so my grey tips are now purple... I think it looks excellent haha
