New Chukkas and classic Maine Guide Boots by Yuketen are currently available at the shop!

Yuketen is an American brand established in 1985 through designer Yuki Matsuda’s quest to pay homage to the American crafts and traditions by treasure hunting for outstanding examples of footwear and luggage in remote locales spread out across the Appalachians to the Sierras.  Each shoe is composed of the most durable and precious materials available, such as American naked leather, which is unique for its durable yet soft finish. Yuketen products’ finishing touches are made by the owner’s individual insignias; the outline of the footprint, crease-marks from the bend of the ankle, imprints from the hands, color shed from the skin, mementos of a lifetime.
