Yuketen started life in 1995 and was set up by Yuki Matsuda, who moved over to America in order to work with true footwear Artisans. Together they produced the Moccasin hunting boot, inspired by 1930's mountain men, designed to be silent whilst tracking wild animals (bears and stuff).
These shoes are made in in the traditional moccasin way, using American hides, which wrap your foot, not just cover it (as so many shoes do these days). The sole unit is made from real crepe, which is of course, 100% natural rubber from Brazil and takes about 4 hours to hand sew to the upper.
