Hey /fa/

What do you think of Yuketen? How is the quality and construction compared to other brands in its price range? Also, how is the sizing? Couldn't find anything definitive :(

well, you happen to have come to the right place! I own 2 pair, including pic related in 9.5D.
Hip$ter also knows a lot about this.

>quality/construction
amazing. Only other similar stuff I own is Oak Street and Red Wing, and its distinctly better than both. A lot of care obviously goes into each pair

>sizing
I own a 9.5D and an 8.5EE and they both fit about the same as my old size 9 CDBs or my size 9.5 vans slip-ons.
About the same total volume inside both. the Ds are longer/narrower, and the EEs are slightly shorter/wider as you would expect.

Also, Yuks are reasonably easy to find on sale, which is really nice. Overall highly recommended.

These in 8.5EE

actually seem bigger than the 9.5s.
Although, the 9.5s were given to me mint by a friend, and he may have told me the wrong size.

Thank you so much! Argh, I keep seeing them on sale but in smaller sizes than mine :( Want to make this my first pair of mocs/boots. Where do you recommend buying them?

What throws me off is that some of their shoes aren't even stitched or welted. Why would you say they're better than Red Wings/OSB? Do they have different lines?

yukes are easily my favorite shoe brand. only have one pair, but it won me over completely. mine are >>7249206 but in green in size 10D, and fit pretty close to my 10D red wing moc boots.
>>7249337
ebay is where i got mine, as it's all i can afford. i've found that most listings are either really small sizes or really large sizes and few in between.

Have you found any "replicas" or similar boots to these in the sub $200 range? On a budget for the next few years, but love these boots.

You two are awesome. I'm a fan of the Fieg x Sebago boots in Tan.

I copped the Billykirk x Sebago Fairhaven's a year or two back, but have never been the biggest fan of non-brown/tan boots.
