@Mich486 Do you mean that you can hardly see a difference with bare eyes between Clinch and Attractions and that the horsehide used is similar/almost equal (also black overdyed, leather thickness, no flaws, etc.)? If so, I think I made my decision because I don't want to pay 1000€ more for the fact that they are welting the sole by hand whereas the others are doing goodyear welting by machine. When looking at the pictures I can't really see big differences between both
Both horsebutts are vegetable tanned, similar thickness and hand but different finishing.
The pair of Clinch I had was in black overdyed Horsebutt. By putting them under the sun you could clearly see they were hand painted in black and looked almost brown. This goes along with the “handmade” vibe of the Clinch. (That said I’m not sure whether this is still what they offer today, mine were purchased 2 years ago).

The Attractions Horsebutt is also tea-core but not hand painted. They do age beautifully too (not my pair):
