@Nik also, your dog made my laugh out loud when I zoomed in for a closer look

My favorite boots ever: special blacked out makeup Maine Guides with Yuke's rocker sole.

@AceHarding
How do you find the sizing on these? Been eyeing these on eBay for a while.. usually a UK9.5/10... so I feel like I'd be rolling the dice on these being the right size...

[AceHarding]

@T4920 I went one size down and they fit well. I would say they run true to their size chart. That linked pair is really nice. Mine were a lucky ebay find, from the FW17 collection.

@T4920 that's a great pair. If that's your normal size they will probably work. The thing to think about with any moccasin is that they are made to fit snug around the foot, even in the toes, and not everyone likes their boots to fit like that. I really like Yuketen moccasins but could never get on with them because of the snug fit. So if you are into that, go for it, they are very cool.

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.

[Nik]

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..
