Sizing Guide: Yuketen moccasin styles are true to US standard size. We recommend checking your shoe size in the New Balance Made in USA models (ex. 993, 996, 998) or on the Brannock Device.
Please note that this is just a sizing reference. Every single person has different shape of foot. Thus, to determine the most accurate size for your foot, we suggest visiting a Yuketen stockist if there is one near you for fitting advice and the opportunity to try on an actual pair. If you are unsure about the sizing, please contact us for advice before purchasing.
Yuketen’s Center Ring Moc is a modern interpretation of the classic and primitive moccasin shoes that is rendered from an organic composition of leather, rubber and traditional moccasin construction. The double ring cinch strap closure provides this primitive moccasin with the convenience of no lacing and stylish comfort for everyday use.
Each pair of Yuketen’s genuine moccasin-construction footwear is handcrafted in our factory in Maine, USA. The shoes benefit from their construction using only the best components and materials such as the Horween’s full-grain Chromepak leathers. Chromepak 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.
To closely mirror the incongruence of the human foot and deliver a molded fit, 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. In addition, the base of the vamp has been cinched to further ensure an integumentary fit.
Full vegetable-tanned leather insoles, slow recovery memory foam and arch support increase a comfortability as the leather insoles absorb the moisture and help to keep the feet dry while it start molding to a shape of the feet as wear’s foot over time.
The crepe outsoles are made out of 100% natural rubber and are handstitched to the upper in 360 degrees angle, which requires high skilled techniques. This natural crepe soles provide superb shock absorption and an incredibly soft and slip-resistant tread, ensuring sublime comfort for the wearer.
WARNING: It is important to avoid contact with any petroleum based products as this may cause the natural crepe outsole to dissolve.
