Description: New in box. Size 11US, clinch size12. I wear 10.5 in Wesco and RedWing Clinch is made by BRASS, one of the first high-end shoe repair shops to open in Japan, owned and operated by Minoru Matsuura. They quickly evolved from shoe repair; to re-lasting their custom lasts; to building incredible footwear around their custom lasts. These lasts are where the magic is. Most modern lasts are optimized for mass production. Wider, straighter, easier to pump through a production line, and easier to fit every single person into. Clinch's lasts start narrow, with a tight fit and a lot of contours to them, much like the lasts of the early 20th century. We chose their CN Wide Last, which is more suited to Western feet than their standard last. The shape of the last dictates the careful construction of the boot. The insole is soaked, then molded to the bottom of the last. From there, the boot is built around that insole. Every step of the hand-sewn welting process is done by hand, except for sewing on the outsoles, a task best done by machine. The leather on these engineers is horsebutt from Europe, hand-selected by Minoru himself for the right qualities of density and grain. This part is exceedingly important, as there is tremendous variation in quality in the supply of horsebutt with less than 50% of the stock being suitable for Clinch boots.
