Service Shoe - Black Calf - MIL-WIDE LastClinch 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 to 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.
