“Tenacious For Quality” is the mantra of this cult Japanese-American brand which bends over backwards to recreate the quality of classic American leather goods and then refresh these iconic styles for modern times by adding artisanal Japanese design elements. Founded by Yuki Matsuda in 1989, Yuketen scours the world for the best raw materials such as buttery and supple oiled leathers tanned in America or silky full-grain flesh-out leather that’s suede tanned in Toscana, Italy,.
Is there any more ringing endorsement for a beach shoe style than to be name-checked in The Beach Boys “Surfin’ USA” We think not and that’s why we’re proud to stock this hand-cut and hand-woven hybrid of a sandal and a loafer known as the Hurache Alejandro. Based on a traditional Mexican sandal, the Alejandro is made in Mexico and features a Vibram sole. It’s like wearing a piece of folk art but just more comfortable. And we like to think of these as the official dress shoe of The New Normal. Dressy enough to wear to the office with chinos; casual enough for a bike to the beach.

I really like these sandals (very well made), but they do run large for me: I usually wear an 11, but even the 10.5 is too big for me.
I normally wear a US size 13, or an EU 47, about a 12 in most aldens depending on the last. I ordered a US 13 in these and they were absolutely massive. Unfortunately the only size left they had when I went to return was a 10.5. I figure I’ll give those a go. Seemingly good quality and well made. Hope the replacement fits!
I Have big hobbit feet and these fit perfect!! Size 11
This is a beautiful shoe, very well made, and the sole makes it a no brainer for everyday wear this spring/summer. The only issue I had is the sizing... I had to go down a full size. Normally a 12, bought an 11 and still had to put heal pads inside to keep them from slipping due to the width. Luckily, Yuketen mentions sizing down on their site. Once I put the heal grippers in, however, game on. Loving them w jeans, shorts, slacks, swim trunks... all the things.
From Midwest, thought they were overpriced, better quality Than i thought ,great sandal, lots of compliments.
