Brass Tokyo
Even though Brass Tokyo is only a rising star in the boot industry, its creator, Minoru Matsuura, founded a shoe repair shop in Tokyo with the unusual goal of reviving treasured Goodyear welted shoes and boots that were believed to have gone extinct long ago. After working as a boot professional for five years, he made the decision to launch his own boot company, CLINCH.
Impressively, Brass Tokyo can introduce a limited but impressive assortment of boots while still maintaining the boot-fixing service with only Minoru and four other craftspeople. Even though each boot line has unique features, buyers still demand the same level of quality. For instance, many people consider its engineering boots to be among the best in the world. They are made of thick, veg-tanned horse butt hides that are hand-selected to achieve the perfect "roll" on the boots' vamp when worn. whereas only a select few bootmakers can match the quality of its lace-up Graham work boots, which have a six-inch cap-toe.
Since the originator has believed that what the wearer needs and what is best for them over the life of their shoes is more important than the shoe's appearance, Brass Tokyo's design is more on the understated but elegant side. Because of this, the majority of CLINCH boots are hand-welded and constructed from superior horse leather, increasing their durability.
