And back on track...

Been trying not to pick these up for myself but I am having a hard time. Luckily I don't have any $ at the moment so it is not a problem, but damn do I want them!!!

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...

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!

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.

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

you aren't being a d!ck, you are being a geo   :-X 
 
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  :'(

Geo, you are the farthest thing from a dick there is. If you want me to add a bunch of information that you think is relevant/ helpful, please post it and I will merge it into the first post. I just posted those photos up quickly to have something there. Let me know...
