Clinch 9" Engineer Boot - 9 Month Review 

Great quick update Dave! I’ve been missing your videos so it’s great to see a new video. Can’t wait to see more new content!

Welcome back Dave 🎉

Thanks for the in-depth review. Both on how the last fits, the leather, your overall experience is always very appreciated! On a side note, I've yet to find an Engineer that fits. I have narrow heels but hate my toes crammed. You're a C where as I am a D but the way that you talk about your toes being longer and overall fit reminds me of myself a lot. I've been very tempted to just pull the trigger on Kreosote's Engineers and call it one and done for bespoke Engineers. Nothing is more frustrating than having about $5,000-10,000 in footwear that hates your feet. Like yourself I like a smaller rotation, so wanting to dump the closet of excess is tempting. I currently have an Engineer that ran me $800+ and is a nice paperweight. I get that is chump change to some, but it's expensive enough it really makes me wonder if I am not better off spending my money and time on something not an Engineer. 😅 Trying to figure out what to do with it? It has probably 2 days of wear and tear. I have no friends it fits unfortunately. I would love a video of how to effectively sell your boots to someone who usually just gives them away. I've had a couple of trades here and there but definitely wish I could dump my closet full of what doesn't fit. It would make a pretty cool video topic and maybe more than just myself might be interested. Now I am curious to see your collection of 7 boots and get your take on them though. It makes me wonder what has made the cut and what hasn't?

An excellent pair of boots and they're looking awesome. I'm pleased this video popped up for me to watch. Thanks.

Good to see U back with a new video, Dave! Happy New Year to U and fam! Cheers!

Wow that was fast! I was looking foword to this

Always great content, really enjoy your reviews etc. You, Trinity Handmade, Aerosurferlv and Bootlosophy are the premiere boot channels .👍😎

Looking good! Agree on the plain vamp being the star of the show. If you wanna see some interesting horsehide rolls look up Guidi 988 boots

When I was a kid in the 50s these type of boots where a fashion item in Baltimore , Md.

Great looking pair of boots Good breakdown of the boots

Incredible rolls!

Awesome boots. 👍🏽

Automatic like with your videos

Beautiful boots.How did you get the toes so flat? Did they just go down with wear? Great review by the way

That was a very good review. The sizing is a bit confusing, as on Standardandstrange it states go 0.5 down from Brannock, which would mean a size 10D for me, being a 10.5D on Brannock, however that doesn't make sense, as i follow the TTS for Brannock most of the time, or at least for the ball/arch length measurements. Example, my Red Wings are 10.5D, 8 Last, 23 Last, so that should mean i am 11.5D in Clinch, if it's a whole size too big compared to US measurements. Did that make sense?

Such cool boots. Had a quick question on these. Have you ever found yourself out in wet weather while wearing these? If so, when they were rained on did it have any real detrimental effect on the leather? Thank you!

I am your fan!!!

If I’m a 9.5D in Wesco ML, what size you think I’d be in these same Clinch boots?

Santa boots?! LMAO!

Off topic but what are your thoughts on wearing black shoes with your silver belly open road? Debating if I should get a black hat or use my silver belly for everything.

ill never understand, as someone who owns high end boots from clinche to Edward Green to viberg, how people like you (which make up the majority of people buying these boots) take great pride in beating up their fashion boots.

grails

guy b*tching about boots costing over 500 bucks. ill pay a grand for good leather boots. bet u them same jokers spend 250 to 300 on crap sneakers two to three times a year. had a pair of those boots when i was in my 20s. i don't like how the toe looks at the end, the wrinkle looks nerdy, only a nerd will be ok on how the toe looks. so soon has my boots started to look nerdy i stopped wearing them NEVER to buy them again. love ur vides
