Horween Brown Chromexcel
I stan all things Maine handsewn. Like many others, these boots saw a variety of wear scenarios- from Christmas parties to hiking trails, from kids’ birthday parties to formal work presentations. As I firmly enter my mid 30s and role as a father to two young boys, the idea of authenticity of self is increasingly top of mind. No longer is adherence to what shoes or boots I “should” wear in any given situation a primary concern. Rather, what do I like and feel good in? What tells a story? What feels like me? Fortunately, these Yuketens checked all those boxes and I couldn’t be happier or more confident than with these on my feet. Next up- some chromepak Quoddys for spring!
