Imagine the rugged Maine coast of the 1950s, where seasoned fishermen cast their lines into freshwater rivers, their feet clad in sturdy moccasins. These boots, with their unique high-top lacing, were born from necessity, offering both security and agility on slippery riverbanks. The Angler Boots pay homage to this legacy, capturing the spirit of those classic Maine moccasins while elevating them with modern craftsmanship and luxurious materials.

A Transcontinental Collaboration
This is a story of three worlds converging: the rugged charm of American workwear, the meticulous artistry of Italian shoemaking, and the unwavering precision of Japanese design. Yuketen's Made in Italy collection is a testament to this fusion, reimagining classic American footwear styles in the heart of Italy's Apennine Mountains.

Luxurious Leather, Inside and Out
The uppers are a masterpiece, meticulously crafted from silky, full-grain, flesh-out leather. Opera Leather has specialized in crafting exquisite flesh-out leather and suede since the 1970s. The leather is described as 'flesh-out' because it is full-grain leather that is expertly reversed so that the supple flesh side of the hide faces outward.
The advantages of using full-grain, flesh-out leather instead of split suede leathers are twofold. First, full-grain leathers retain their inherent structure, thickness, and durability for long-lasting strength. Second, the smooth grain side of the leather feels incredibly soft and comfortable against the skin, eliminating the need for additional liners. In this way, the wearer enjoys the superior benefits of full-grain leather and the pleasing, suede-like aesthetic of the napped, flesh side of the leather.

The Embrace of Genuine Moccasin Construction
Slip your feet into the Angler Boots, and it's like wrapping them in a warm, luxurious leather hug. That's the magic of Genuine Moccasin Construction, a technique where the leather envelops your foot from underneath, creating a snug and supportive fit. Yuketen's unique pattern uses more leather on the vamp for an even more cocooning feel, ensuring all-day comfort.

A Foundation of Uncompromising Quality
Every element of the Angler Boots is designed with your comfort in mind. The insole, crafted from vegetable-tanned leather, features a supportive shank, memory foam, and arch cushion, ensuring that every step is a pleasure, not a chore. The Cortina Lug sole, originally designed for the 1956 Winter Olympics, offers exceptional grip and durability, making these boots ready for any adventure. And with their meticulous hand-stitching and premium materials, these boots are built to last a lifetime, a testament to the enduring value of quality craftsmanship.
