Ring Boots offer a mid-cut profile and slender silhouette between a shoe and a boot, with a cool 1970’s aesthetic. Yuketen Ring Boots are a modern interpretation of the classic Ring Boots that are made from an organic composition of leather, rubber, and traditional moccasin construction. The double ring cinch strap provides this mid-cut moccasin the convenience of no lacing and stylish comfort for everyday use. The rings are made of nickel coated solid brass and are also used for horse riding gear. The snake head shaped leather strap is Yuketen’s original design.

Each pair of Yuketen’s genuine moccasin-construction footwear is handcrafted in our Small Shop in Maine, USA. The shoes benefit from their construction using only the best components and materials such as the Horween Chromexcel leathers. Chromexcel is a buttery, malleable "pull-up" leather born of a unique double-tanning process of vegetable and chrome treatments, which imbues the leather with pleasantly aromatic liquor notes. Its suppleness, revealing of lighter tones in its oiled surface when stretched, makes it particularly suitable to moccasin construction.

Multiple pieces of leather are hand-sewn and hand-lasted on Yuketen’s proprietary last, which was developed in the 1950s and was known as the best shoe last for an American-made moccasin. Leather is wrapped from UNDER your foot using genuine moccasin construction, completely enveloping your foot like a thick, super comfortable leather sock.

A Vibram 2021 oil-resisting sole complements the dense layers of rubber and leather underfoot. Full vegetable-tanned leather insoles and midsoles, and Leather tucks with steel shank reinforcements increase fitting in the arch and heel as well as lessen foot fatigue by forming a stable bridge between the heel and ball of the owner's foot which causes weight to be distributed more evenly across the foot. This results in reduced foot fatigue and improved comfort. Yuketen’s signature Leather tucks are made from 100% vegetable-tanned leather and will naturally accommodate the distinct shape of the wearer’s foot over time.
