Bennon Clifton Sandals - Brown

The open heel on the sandals causes stones, twigs, pine needles or weeds to get in while travelling outside the city. The toe and sole are not reinforced enough.

In my opinion, the shoes are too high, I had to use additional insoles so that they wouldn't rub against my ankles. The toe area is too wide, so my foot slides around, and since there's no full tongue, you can't tie them securely. The sole is thin, so walking on stones is uncomfortable without extra insoles. The lace lock doesn't work well and often needs adjusting. The only major advantage of these shoes is their price.

Overall, I rate these shoes 3+. I've been using them for a few months. They have thin soles and a deep cut — I had to add an extra insole so they wouldn't rub against my ankles. They're very wide around the toes, which gives the foot a lot of freedom. Instead of a classic tongue, the construction doesn't allow the shoes to fit narrower feet well. One of the clamps doesn't hold the lace. I recommend the basic model mainly for walking on grass — for bigger challenges like rocks or stones, different or reinforced insoles would be needed. The only strong point is the stable sole and reasonable price.

The shoes protect the foot well and have a solid construction. The lacing system is convenient, and there is a lot of space inside for the foot. An interesting feature is the leather-like rubber. The shoes dry quickly and have a clearly terrain-designed sole, which improves grip. In my opinion, the design is the most attractive among similar models. The quality of workmanship makes a great impression and promises long durability, though time will tell.

The slippers are very comfortable, have good ventilation, and are lightweight. However, you need to be careful with the manufacturer's size chart, as it overstates the values – it's best to measure your foot in centimetres. The sole works perfectly in the city and on light terrain. I highly recommend them!
