About

The company exceeded its 2021 forecast by 80%, as sales surged 119% between the first half and second half of the year.

"It's no surprise that BRUNT has seen incredible early adoption and consumer love; their direct-to-consumer model, coupled with Eric's fanatical focus on product innovation and quality, has enabled BRUNT to deliver shoes and apparel with superior comfort, performance, and value compared to the incumbents.
