Inside Clinch Boots' Tokyo Workshop—Bootmaking + Interview w/ Minoru Matsuura
In the third episode of our SOLE SEARCHING: Tokyo series, I visited the Clinch retail shop to meet with the brand’s founder, Minoru Matsuura. But just spending time in the store wasn’t enough. For this fourth SOLE SEARCHING episode, I had to go deeper inside Clinch. Which meant going…well, downstairs…to tour the workshop where Clinch boots are made, and learn more about how Minoru evolved a niche shoe repair business into one of Japan’s most coveted handmade boot brands.
