Yuketen Italian Blucher - Tosca Brown with Vibram Sole Founded by Yuki Matsuda, Yuketen represents the pinnacle of American handcraft, with just five master craftspeople creating each pair in their Maine workshop. This Italian-inspired Blucher exemplifies true artisanal shoemaking, where even the needle holes are hand-punched - a practice rarely seen in modern footwear. The rich Tosca brown leather paired with Vibram's performance sole creates an unparalleled fusion of traditional moccasin construction and modern comfort.
