Handcrafted in Italy, the Vettore is built using a 360° channeling Goodyear welt construction with a scalloped storm welt, a labor-intensive method that enhances durability, water resistance, and allows for resoling over time.

The upper is made from full-grain kudu leather, known for its rugged texture, natural markings, and combination of strength and suppleness. Each pair carries unique characteristics in the leather, reflecting the natural hide and reinforcing the individuality of the boot.

Underfoot, the construction features a hand-channeled leather insole with integrated shank support, paired with a leather and rubber midsole structure for stability. An additional removable leather insole provides extra support and adaptability in fit.

Finished with Yuketen’s original Cortina cork sole, the design offers traction and durability while maintaining a relatively lightweight feel. Details such as the padded leather collar, gusseted tongue, and genuine kudu leather laces complete a build that balances hiking functionality with a more refined, everyday profile.

Presented in Kudu Chestnut, the Vettore Boots reflect Yuketen’s approach of combining American heritage design with Italian artisanal production.
