couple of quick pics of my yuketens… easily the most comfortable boots i have.. really soft almost pillow like bounce when you walk..
i sized down half a size to 9.5
They look great…think i've been sufficiently swayed! Thanks for that Casey. By the way, I sent the Melton XL back to you yesterday. So looking forward to the Large one!

Sized down a half size so should be ok. Hope these are chunky enough for me. Hoping I can pull them off too!

Thanks for that Geo! They look nice….still hopin I made the right decision :o Got the bloody Russell catalogue through today too...mmmm....could be ordering me some methinks...swiftly followed by a nice divorce....
Will try and upload some pics when they get here (will be a first!). -
@Geo:
boots are cheaper than divorces . . . fact
This made me chuckle
I'm also pretty tempted to get me some Yuketen boots, thinking of the main guide boot because the Vibram christie sole looks more versatile to me than the double crepe soles, love the way they look on the crepe sole though…
but i might be the only person who doesn't like the mushy feeling of walking on crepe soles, on my desert boots anyway... unless the thickness of the Yuketen crepe sole makes them feeling totally different and more firm.
From what i've seen the Yuketen boots on crepe soles always seem to lean sideways on the pics in most webstores, i've seen some boots where the left boot is leaning outward and the right boot leaning inward, thought it looked rather strange and it made me doubt they would be very comfortable and good for your feet.
With the main guide boot i'm a little bit affraid they will resemble my RW875 too much when worn, although they are less chunky and more sophisticated looking.
Still i'm not planning to pay full retail, so i'll just wait for them to go on sale somewhere.
Does anyone know of European shops who sell the main guide boot for a decent price?
I only found them at the Bureau and Tres bien (who are out of my size). -

you don't often see much in the way of reductions tho' -
Well I have not actually pulled tghe trigger, I have sent an email asking about the width of the Yuketen Chukka Boot with Hunting Sole. I have pretty wide feet and just want to make sure they are liely to be wide enough for me. I'm a 9.5 c/e in Alden, so am hoping 9.5 or 10 will work for me….
