Boots look good. I am not sure if the proportions of skinny jeans and bulky engineers work, purely subjective.The Flat Head

Hows the width? More curious about pinky toe room as thats where I typically have issues even with an average foot. They look great!Oh right, y'all were waiting.
Got the 9.5US size, feels good. I believe a 9 would have been a worse call. They feel comfortable in a thick sock.
Now I am looking at their other shoes..

I'm surprised that these work for me. I went with a 9.5 US, which is .5 bigger than my Lofgren. I don't have a hard time getting them off or on, and heel slip is minimal. I don't think I should have gone with a 9, I have a thumb's width from toes to end of boot when standing, if you have a wider foot I don't know if less room than this is a good idea, but that may be personal preference.Hows the width?

Oh wow so you went TTS. Interesting as thats the first time I think I've heard someone doing that for Clinch.I'm surprised that these work for me.

For reference, I am a 9.5 Brannock and I am a 8.5EE or 9E in the Alden Barrie last. Typically 9E in most shoes.
I am now...tempted to save up some $ to get a pair of Clinch Yaeger or Service Shoes or both..
I had tried the 8.5US in the Wide Last and that too felt comfortable, though a lot tighter, no heel slip, and I had a really hard time getting the boots off. I imagine that. 9 in the wide would have worked for me.
Only other maker I think that’s comparable to Clinch would be Role Club RC40 last. Unstructured it gets a similar profile as Clinch in my opinion.Looking at several clinch engineer boots here and on Instagram, it looks like they have a more squared toe as opposed to a rounded one, which I'm liking more and more. Are there any other engineer boots with that or should I start saving up?
