The Angler DB Boots: A Legacy Reimagined
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 DB 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, crafted from a blend of silky full-grain flesh-out leather and rugged scotch-grained Colima leather. Opera Leather, experts in their field since the 70s, create this unique flesh-out leather by flipping full-grain leather inside out. The result? A boot that's both incredibly durable and incredibly comfortable against your skin. No liners needed here! And that scotch grain finish on the Colima leather? It's the perfect touch of sophistication for these rugged boots.

The Embrace of Genuine Moccasin Construction
Slip your feet into the Angler Boots, and it's like giving them a warm hug. That's the magic of Genuine Moccasin Construction. The leather wraps your foot from underneath, creating a snug, supportive fit. Yuketen's special pattern uses even more leather on the vamp for an extra-cozy feel. Plus, double-bottom construction adds another layer of leather under your foot for even more durability, cushioning, and support.

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 Cork Lug sole is renowned for its grip and durability but also boasts a stylish aesthetic. This cork version is infused with bits of cork tips, reminiscent of classic 1930s American Work Boots. Originally designed for the 1956 Winter Olympic Games in Cortina, Italy, each pair is meticulously handcrafted in Italy using the finest components and materials. These boots can be easily resoled, making them a testament to quality and longevity in footwear.
