. . . if only to keep you in check kiddo

@Geo:

yup it's a different shoe

but it looks like a pigmented leather - which is why you don't get the oil-pull effect since the top layer of the leather has been 'painted'

I can't believe the pool of knowledge on this forum, it's fucking fantastic!

It's mainly Geo, though…

I tried GeoGoogle, I'm sure it is brilliant but I dont understand Glaswegian…

[Geo]

didn't you try the translator page?

[Giles]

Yes, but I think it needs some tweaking, every other word was feckin…..Oh wait.....

[Geo]

seems you're fekin right . . . i think it's fekin because there is no fekin equivalent in english for feck as is employed in glaswegian . . . feck it

[Geo]

Yes they are. Yeah there are a few places selling them. Also, one guy selling my size second hand which is more my speed at this point. Just can't do anything until my paypal woes are righted…

[Geo]

Well if you want them just let me know

Thank you for the offer Geo but I must refrain. I have a policy about owing others money. Especially when I don't have a steady stream coming in. Also, glad to see you on here as of late!

[Geo]

Well I don't have any such policies lando - so it's not a problem

Thanks for the kind words tho' - been a little intermittent (which is likely to be the norm) so enjoying being part of the gang for a while

As Yuketen has EASILY become my favorite footwear brand over the past year, I have gone ahead and updated the first post of the thread to contain some of the basic Yuketen information and styles. I will continue to update it with more information (ie. retailers) in the next day or two. Hope it helps a little…

let me go to the top & see what you've done to the lead off page.

that dark ivy is very nice. why not call it freckin' loden green. i'm a cry baby & complain about their nomenclature system .  .  .  but the shoes are top notch.

[nameness]

Nice update to the intro page there.

[Geo]

guys - it all sounds great . . . but you've lost me

if there is such a desire behind showing the brand could i suggest we list the core styles and maybe then the history/rationale behind that?

if i'm being a dick then i offer my apologies

[madmonday]

you aren't being a d!ck, you are being a geo 

i was introduced to yuketen by the iron heart set & most of my knowledge of the brand comes from reading about them in Inventory.  i actually thought they were ugly as all hell until i started to really delve into their product selection.  i honestly waited until i could get my first pair (maine guide ox db) at a discount before taking the plunge & i was very happy with what i got 

i'm on my second pair (sports boat shoe) & i again got them at a reasonable discount & couldn't be happier with their quality & the astetics of the shoe. i can't say they are the best pair of shoes i've worn, but shoes are't really my thing so what the hell do i know anyway

you make this toom uch like an assignment geo
