Clinch Boots, Japanese White's Boots at Stumptown & Addict Boots | SOLE SEARCHING Tokyo, Pt 3

There are many fantastic footwear cities in this world—places that make and sell sublime boots and shoes. But it’s quite possible that none can match Tokyo. Today I’m lucky enough to spend my life learning from craftspeople who make some of the world’s finest handmade boots and shoes—every day I get to deepen my understanding of the skill and artistry and toil it takes to make something exceptional. Which this time, has led me to Tokyo, quite possibly the world’s greatest footwear city, to visit factories, stores, and workshops for three days straight, and learn as much as possible along the way. This is Sole Searching: Tokyo. In Episode 3, we'll head to perhaps the most internationally romanticized Japanese bootmaker: Clinch by Brass Tokyo. In the workshop below a small retail store in Tokyo’s Setagaya City, Clinch founder Minoru Matsura and his team combine top-flight materials with precise craftsmanship to create boots that are designed to last as long as the vintage one Minoru used to repair, and age with preternatural purpose and beauty along the way. From there, it's off to Shibuya, to climb to the top level of an otherwise unassuming ABC Mart to visit the Stumptown shop, an absolute treasure trove of Japanese-only models from White's Boots and Danner Boots, two iconic American brands that are rightly revered in Japan. There we'll meet Tai Ikeoka, a former White's bootmaker in Spokane who now runs the Stumptown boot repair shop. And finally: the Addict Clothes store in Setagaya, to meet with Addict founder Satoshi Ishijima, who takes us through the Addict Boots lineup and gives endless insight into his decision-making and inspiration—all while surrounded by a ridiculously wonderful collection of the vintage British motorcyles that are also repaired and restored...right in the shop. After three straight days in factories, retail shops, and more, common threads are clear in Tokyo boot culture: craftsmanship, quality, consideration of the smallest details, and pushing boundaries just the right amount. This unique synthesis of subtle personal twists and time-honored methods is a massive part of what makes Tokyo’s footwear scene as remarkable as you could find anywhere in the world.
