Yuketen models its boat shoes after the classic new england sporting styles that anglers used to wear during the '50s and '60s. Hand-cut and sewn on the label's proprietary last, this textured-leather pair features reinforced arches and heels to improve comfort and reduce foot fatigue. The cortina rubber-lug soles, named after the italian winter olympic games of 1956, deliver exceptional grip and balance on any surface, while the top eyelets are placed higher than usual for a more supportive fit.
