Yuketen

[cowsareforeating]

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.

Thanks guys, maybe when I make some more money I'll get a pair 

[Seul]

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?..

[Geo]

I'm a UK 9 - my yuks are 8.5

I have noticed there are variations from other reports but the advice is always TTS to down a half size

[Seul]

Actually I'm in between a 41.5 and a 42… So 7.5 (equals 41 yes?) should be perfect if they fit a bit bigger...

Hmmmm.... To kop or not to kop...

[Geo]

yup 7.5 is a 41

[Seul]

So what do you think, Geo: should I or not… Just wondering whether this shoe is something for me... Or whether it would be like buying a Steinway piano for a blind elephant...

[Geo]

well i can't say anymore about the sizing but i can say they will look the business with your denims - so that's a yes

a shit load tougher looking than your diors  . . . I think you'd carry them off quite well

[Seul]

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

[Geo]

that's  Seul

so we'll get to see you in basically 2 'new' pieces of footwear 

[Seul]

Damn - those Yuketen on eBay were apparently bought by someone else… Should've bought them yesterday... Just hope it wasn't anyone on here who sniped them 

[Geo]

Seul - the oak street shoes will be a good aalternative . . . i'm thinking on ordering a pair after the spring weight herringbones come in

[Seul]

Damn straight - gonna order some Oak Street boys today or tomorrow!..

[Geo]

cool - you'll be able to post up pics for me

btw, the End Clothing site says they fit TTS

[Seul]

That's all I needed to know - didn't see that when browsing their site but then I had about 3 bottles of wine yesterday…

Ta Geo!..
