The Thursday Brawler has Arrived!

[@compromisedmission]

Just received mine in medium Brown Harness and all I can say is WOW! From presentation to on foot absolutely amazing! I have about 30 pairs of PNW and various other brands but these just stand out from the rest! That toe is something looking down while wearing them. Been wearing them all morning and already the midsole is taking shape to my foot and I love the low heel height. I might just have to get a pair in every leather now that I know the quality is there.

[@Jackson-T23]

I got waxed flesh in today.....another one coming next week. 🤪🤪🤪

[@compromisedmission]

@@Jackson-T23aren’t they beautiful! Plus, so comfortable out of the box. I’ve worn mine all day and don’t want to take them off. I originally ordered the Rambler but changed it to the Harness. I’m going to go ahead and order the Rambler now for work. I’m retired military and work as a night custodian for our school district HQ. Perfect boot for being on your feet all day but don’t need anything heavy duty.

[@Tuketu_nvr_dies]

Carl is killing it. Jim green, Thursday boot company. Two very reasonable prices and great builds. I can actually build a collection without killing my budget.

[@CarlMurawski]

That was the idea! I got a lot of feedback on my expensive collabs and these were two great ways so make something affordable and awesome.

Excellent boot. Awesome build. Nice roomy toe box. Great leather. Wearing mine as I stumbled across this video.

[@compromisedmission]

Just got mine ordered! The Bronze Brown Rambler was just too beautiful to pass up at that price. Also got a pair of the Challenger in Stone Rambler. Thursday is killing it this year!

[@darrenhall7454]

Incredible looking boot! Viberg 310 but way more affordable. I’m sure the Brawler’s build quality is much more than enough for 99% of guys. Great job.

[@shanegraham8567]

Yeah, I've been lusting after the 310s a lot lately. This might fill the need.

[@mleoq]

@@shanegraham8567 I have 310s & I’m going to be completely honest, several boot brands are no comparison. If you want top quality and like the 310 last from Viberg, buy them. The price for the 310 last is worth it but I don’t think their other boots could justify that price tag because of the typical service boot appearance

[@kazuki-in-usa]

Carl, thank you for using your expertise and platform to help a company like Thursday to make a better product. I look forward to getting a pair of these when my size is back in stock.

[@jackblah5842]

Thursday is to boots as Seiko is to watch collecting, to many it is a gateway to some it is the final destination. Either way this is really good work, congrats on the collab. I like that you went with a contrasting dark tan leather on the sole|heel of the black boots, I might have gone a shade lighter but really love all 4 flavors.

[@vincentsmith-m9w]

@@jackblah5842 hahahahah ….yes sure…

[@7Sonic7]

This is a great looking boot! Nice job Carl and Thursday. I have a rough out half-sole from Truman that looks similar to this and is now discontinued that is my personal favorite boot. Agreed on the red brown being the pick of the liter. Nice price point too

[@Jackson-T23]

Okay, I just received mine in Cinnamon Waxed Flesh. It's extremely nice. First.....the packaging. Thursday's Black Label packaging is the best I've ever seen. When you unbox it, it feels like you are opening a $1000 boot. TBH, I don't think you're gonna find a better value out there. Premium choice leather. Stitchdown. Fully lined interior. This boot makes Grant Stone even look expensive. 😮

[@robvilletto3146]

It’s so cool how you are able to work with different companies. Nice American ingenuity.

[@SteveMcMex]

Bravo Carl!!!!! I got the AE Odenwald and the Jim Green Vellie after seeing it here I love your Kresote boot but I could never afford it. I saw these boots on Thursday site and thought the resemebled your Kreosote boots but not a copy I had no idea you were working on it with Thursday. Wish they would make it in Cordovan # 8 but sold I am getting a pair. Thank you @Carl and @Thursdayboots.

[@shaunpugh3287]

Well done to both yourself and Thursday for creating these. They look great. And kudos to Thursday for reaching out to you. I’d love them to make a rugged Chelsea similar to this.

[@jkamp]

Bro I am SO STOKED to try these. Congratulations! This is awesome.

[@CarlMurawski]

Thanks! They really are great.

[@LeroyHeeneyWine]

Might be the best looking boot I've ever seen. I'm impressed!

[@Tuketu_nvr_dies]

@@LeroyHeeneyWine I agree. Thoes look like a BOOT. I like how Thursday is building more aggressive looking boots. They did not start that way but dang this company is definitely moving in the right direction.

[@starkparker16]

I like the squared off toe. Carl is big time.

[@homersimpson742]

Carl, just got mine today and so far I am impressed. I’ve experienced uneven quality issues with Thursday in the past but the Brawler is a different animal. I got the bronze brown rambler and unlike some of my previous Thursday boots, the stitching on these is perfect and I love the texture of the leather. Even the box was surprisingly good quality. So far the quality appears solid, look forward to putting some miles on them to see how they hold up. Sorry I didn’t record a dramatic unboxing video for you.

[@CarlMurawski]

Thanks bro! Sounds like you got a great pair. Glad to hear the quality is there!

[@Brajin1]

This is got some viberg 310 last vibes. Cool sprung toe vibes. Great to have these style boots available at this costs.

[@Old_Sailor85]

Great job over the years, Carl. You have done a great job balancing cost and value. Started wearing Corcoran's, Durango, Tony Lama and Red Wings 40-50 years ago. Wore cheapo boots after that for years. My entry back into decent boots were the Thursday Captains. I'm wearing your first collab with Nick's as I type this. Took forever to break in, even though they are bison. JK OTs and Russel Back Country round out my collection with laces. Both broke in very fast. All four are very different boots. I like the Brawler, but can't justify yet another pair. Retired and I don't "dress up" any more, so dress boots are kind of out. Keep up the great work.

[@beserker2000]

Never imagined seeing a boot like this offered by Thursday. Such a cool collaboration 🎉

[@UniversalBrow09]

Viberg 310 killer! Leather shanks, counters, midsoles, and toe puffs? Fantastic

[@Drod0272]

Immediately thought of the 310s, which I have been eying for quite some time. The price point on these makes it a no-brainer to own.

[@ronleibfreid5190]

Love the 310 also, but these have a key difference that I had to really visually deconstruct to explain why my eye sees something funky. This boot doesn’t have the arch of the 310. In fact, the heel stack is sloped - no doubt to keep the foot flatter and ensure the boot is comfortable for the casual Thursday buyer. Haven’t seen them broken in, but they don’t look quite right - a lot of bulk around the arch. The pronounced arch on the Viberg offsets the toe and keeps the midfoot/arch area trim in a way my eye finds necessary. The waist looks chunkier too. I still may buy a pair of these, but IMO that difference (higher arch in the 310) means more to me than any of the construction or other Viberg “upgrades”.

[@MH-ej1mq]

@@ronleibfreid5190 My exact thoughts too. The footbed of this boot has a fishbowl shape to it, which is probably going to get pretty uncomfortable over time. The slopped heel stack and sprung toebox are basically pushing your foot to the center of the boot. I can't imagine that is good for your feet.

[@VictorXincredible]

My Brawlers just came in and HOLY HELL guys! I don’t know how they did this for that price. These are EXCEPTIONAL! I am a project manager for a carpentry company, a former carpenter so I’ve been in boots my whole life. I’ve worn them all, from timberland to whites and the attention to detail in these trump them all. Amazing job, so happy I got these. How TF are these comfortable day one?! Also, I love the packaging with the “black label” line. Nice touch

[@AlexandStuff]

Super unique looking boot, had to have a pair. Ordered the Bronze Brown as I have nothing like that color in my collection. Great job! Love your collabs!

immediately my favorite thing thursday has ever done. i've always loved thursday, i have a pair of captains and they're great, but personally i have always prefered chunkier boots and sneakers especially since i wear more relaxed jeans. they remind me a bit of the red wing black smith, but almost more beautiful and refined. i will definitely be getting these. amazing job on these guys.

[@CarlMurawski]

Thanks! I agree, I really like the chunkier vibe on these.

[@Luis25522]

Killer job on these boots Carel. They look badass! I remember coming across these boots and thinking that Thursday was stepping up their game stylistically.

For 5 years I’ve rotated Thursday Captains, Nike 6” tactical boots, and Ariat cowboy boots for just about everything, but winter work has always left me at a real impasse. Hoping to fill that gap with these asap.

Fine looking boot. Might make it my first pair of Thursdays...

[@AlexandStuff]

Well, I finally got my pair. Love the packaging. The leather smell that permeated my nostrils when I opened the box was intoxicating. The marbled bronze is like nothing Ive seen in person before, absolutely stunning. I have 4 pairs of Thursday boots all in the same size. Unfortunately, the brawler was about a half size too small in the same size. Im sad that I have to return it instead of exhanging because they are all sold out.

I’m really sorry to hear that the sizing was off on these, hopefully, you can grab a pair in your size soon.

It's really a great sign that they're willing to come to a critic and work on a new boot design.

[@ClipzAhoy1]

Immediately clicked this based on past reviews... just grabbed myself a pair of Red Wing 9060's as well - but this is a really good looking boot. As someone whos had thursday boots in the past, my main complaint was always how dressy it was, there was no real opportunity to wear it in a more rugged setting. Great design, great insights, and congrats on the launch! Might snag a pair after the heat cools down for how much those Beckmans cost...

[@CarlMurawski]

The Brawlers are definitely made for a little more rugged wear!

[@NonLegitNation2]

I was very close to getting the Thursday Captain a week ago because I wanted something that looked like the Red Wing Iron Ranger but wasn't so expensive. I ultimately didn't go with the Thursday Captain because as you said it's a little too dressy looking. I went with the Jim Green Numzaan instead which I'm currently breaking in, and my feet absolutely hate me, lol. If I had known about the JG 719 I would have gotten that instead of the Numzaan because that looks even closer to the Iron Ranger.
