These bad boys have served me through snow and rain and mud in anywhere from an office situation to working outdoors. While the souls are not great for outdoor traction, they are incredibly easy to clean off before coming into the house

Care Routine
Break-In
Durability
The Safari waxed Roughout had held up to all i have thrown at it. It was not as tough a break-in as I thought it may be, I brushed them every few days and occasionally put on some Bick 4 when they looked thirsty.
Fit
Unknown Last: Size not specifiedUS Men's Brannock: 11.5E
Toe Box
Ball Feels Right
Satisfied with the Fit
Toes Too Roomy
Too Much Volume
I would say they size about the same as a pair of iron Rangers, they do have a very roomy last with plenty of wiggles space for your toes.
Craftsmanship
Thursday General Purpose Chelsea
I think Thursday did a great job with the design and construction of these boots and the finishing was top notch. I would gladly test out any of their boots if they were looking for somebody.
Sole & heel
Traction
It is a great sole for ease of cleaning, but I am generally not a huge fan of the wedge sole due to lack of traction
Final thoughts
Would Recommend
Good Value
I would highly recommend these to anyone that is looking for a well-made boot that you can work hard in and still be able to clean up for a Sunday morning service

Thursday Journeyman in Shinki Black Shell CordovanBy cuffcheckdenim • April 6, 2026"I wore these for walking to office work, teaching on my feet, and I took them for a few trips to Boston and even Nashville during the January Ice-pocalypse. The soles gripped well, and the leather developed nicely. I had heard stories about people who babied their Shell cordovan to keep it from getting splotchy or unevenly worn, but this Shinki Shell seemed to love the wet, and would develop more character in the elements without losing its sheen. I’ve worn these with charcoal wool suits, denim, fatigues, and they fit in wherever they go...."Read the full review
These are a great pair of boots. Immediately comfortable and a classy color.
Thursday Challenger in ToscanelloBy strykersboots • April 5, 2026"These boots were used for work, hiking, and then general use 2-3 days per week. Overall, they were worn at least 4 days per week.
Used as my go to walking shoes due to their comfort and support. Yard work, house/building repair and remodel. Northwest Oregon and some south west Oregon hiking. Rough terrain, steep, rocky trails and open desert hiking. Lots of walking on urban landscape with the dogs. Both in parks and on sidewalks and roads. Lots of rainy walks and work, with some icey and snowy...."Read the full review

Great value, no frills, but it earns its resilience in the name.

Teacore Horserump Challengers 3 month review
Thursday Black Label Challenger in Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed BlackBy indi.raw.oninsb • January 3, 2025"Worn mostly for work at the brewery, on my feet 8-10hrs a day in wet/dry/dusty/hot/cold/humid conditions. Lots of stairs, walking, lifting, bending, kicking, spilled beer and chemical, grain dust, brew/filter powders. Frequent temperature changes going from a 120°F 100% humidity brewhouse to a 30°F bone dry hop cooler... The boots get their fair share of abuse.
Other fun stuff I've done in them: Ren Fest x2, various hikes through Texas wilderness, a handful of concerts and shows (this was killer on my feet the first show before the boots were fully broken in), and a bit of partying for the holidays! Soon they'll see their first travel as I'm taking them to Mexico in February...."Read the full review

Thursday Black Label Challenger in Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed BlackBy indi.raw.oninsb • November 1, 2024"Worn daily to work 8-12hrs a day. I work in a brewery so my boots get wet every day, get exposed to chemicals, and can get filthy with grit and grime. I tend to move/kick things around a lot or use my feet to hold doors or what have you. I have also worn them for general leisure and for stomping the faire grounds at TRF...."Read the full review
