The Yuketen Maine Guide in the Ox Blood has got to be one of the nicest shoes I have seen and worn ever. The combination of the hand stitched boat shoe inspired upper and the welted Vibram Christy sole unit make for an unbelievably incredible shoe which I am expecting to get decades of wear out of. The leather used for the upper has been made to purposely age with wear, so over time the leather will start to appear particularly worn down in certain stress points of the shoe adding a personal custom look to your pair. My favourite part of this shoe has to be the stitching at the heel of the shoe, this small area of the shoe shows four different panels of the upper coming together to finish the construction. Being my first experience of a Vibram sole I now understand fully Yuki and Ryan’s love for Vibram, I am going to find it extremely hard to wear anything else for the next few months! As I wear these in more I will post more pictures to show the gradual ageing of the upper! I have already had a fairly big night in these so please excuse the few dirt marks on the following photos! Enjoy +++
How good does that look!!!!
