Really cool - I've had my eye on a pair of their roughouts (someday). I love the silhouette of their boots - trouble is, everyone else does too! They're perpetually sold out!

They've got their very own take on the unstructured toe don't they. Have to say, anytime I see someone wearing a pair they do look brilliant.

Yep, they're a very unique artisan take on the unstructured toe. If there could be such thing as a 'double unstructured toe' this would be it!

I've known a couple of people who each lived in Japan. They both told me it's a source of bragging rights to pay that much for something. Sort of like the brand stuff in the US, I guess. Sounds like book collectors, who think an addition to a collection is contingent on how much got paid.

Jan, what I heard from their China customers is, purchase their item from their vendor , hand pick one carefully in person ,and actually try it.
otherwise there is risk (too narrow for your feet, or quality flaw that you can’t find thru internet).

Jezz fun to see a Japanese guy get off the Harley trip and ride a powerhouse Triumph!

That’s why he is sitting in a wheelchair …

The HARLEY threw him off so he changed to TRIUMPH …. .

Ahahaha ! The problem is when you share passion with other men of good taste you have to be in alert all the time , Like for ....GW ??!!! If he is a manufacturer then perhaps he can build some shoes on demand ?? Silly question I guess .

Does he build boots and shoes on comand too ?

You're right , this type of shape means that in the end the leather will mold the big toe a little too much . It's already the case on Type3 rough out service shoes or boondockers but not as much as for these thin tips .

As I know, he did not. You buy what ever he offered to the market, and he only offer narrow foot width.

It's a pity , I saw your comment with pics black shoes ( that looks cool !) . D is quite narow but the LAST seem to be comfortable , almost like Munson Last. I saw some insta and videos of crafstmen in China that makes beautiful boots too ( I'm maybe out of subject ...)

As far as I know, some of those very expensive ones are good quality boots.

No need feel pity about Clinch, as your (only) best shot , is find a vendor, and actually try the boots and hand pick one by your self.

It is not convenient and very expensive.
