Yuketen

[T4920]

Thanks for the input, yeh I'm so close to pulling the trigger but I'm conscious that the statement 'fits like UK 9.5' is hyperbole, as I'd usually be at least a US10!

£300 is a lot for a gamble, and they've been listed for almost a year so I'd probably struggle reselling them if they didn't work out...

Day 2 of the stitch down patina thunder dome in these Yuketen Alan boots. They're so great I bought a second pair in black calf.

Black calf arrived in time to enter them as well into the boot patina contest.

@Nik Love the shape of these, so unique and elegant..

@AdamJ It may be worth selling the kidney needed to afford these (tagging Adam as he knows about getting chased by hoards of women when you wear something this special).

Smoking shoes, elegant ass kickers, western loafers, either way I'll dream about these gracing my feet until the day they do.

for those who own Yuketen, how do they compare to the popular brands we see here on the forum?

@jordanscollected "for those who own Yuketen" - first class. Though those shoes are punchy1

[jordanscollected]

@will6er I'm not sure how you define punchy, but i bet it means you think they are lamesauce

Those are beautiful @jordanscollected and I assume made in Mexico same factory as my white "Jordan" yuketen. Quality is really high. If you have any questions ask Yuki Matsuda, the designer, on instagram, he's really friendly and enthusiastic about what he puts out. What I like about Yuketen is taking heritage craft seriously while also being playful and lighthearted in executing the combination of elements. A western Romeo with a toe bug is a great example of that approach.

@jordanscollected No! Each to their own. I love the variety from Yuketen and they are a great brand.

Those are awesome. Love the aesthetics and the fact that they a slip-on shoes makes them a home run
