The shoes are hard and not very comfortable, and your feet get sweaty in them quickly. In my opinion, they're not worth the price – 520 PLN is definitely too much. They're similar to heavy work boots. Compared to my Groms, which I can wear all day, I’ve had enough of these after just a few hours.
Bennon Panther XTR 06 NM Mid Boots - Brown
Tactical footwear in brown, with a raised upper made of full-grain leather and Cordura. It features a waterproof membrane Regi-Tex and a Vibram 187C outsole that ensures stability and traction. Ideal both for outdoor activities and everyday use.
Cowhide leather, durable Cordura, Regi-Tex membrane
The upper is made of natural cowhide leather, distinguished by its full-grain structure, durability and resistance to damage, as well as ease of care. The shoe collar is reinforced with Cordura, while the rubber rand at the front protects the toes against impacts. The built-in Regi-Tex membrane is responsible for moisture wicking and protects against soaking through. The entire construction creates a solid design, ensuring comfort during long marches and work in demanding conditions.
Lacing system, tongue pocket
The Panther XTR model is equipped with sturdy laces routed through five rows of classic eyelets, allowing for a proper fit of the shoe to the foot. A special pocket placed on the shoe tongue allows the laces to be tucked away, protecting them from coming untied accidentally.
Absorba XTR insole with activated carbon
The anatomically shaped Absorba XTR insole ensures the natural positioning of the foot in the shoe. Activated carbon in its composition reduces the risk of bacterial growth and unpleasant odours. Special cushioning zones in the heel area minimise all shocks, to which the foot is exposed during intense movement.
Vibram 187C outsole
Stable movement is enabled by the rubber Vibram 187C outsole with deep tread, whose excellent traction performs well on various surfaces. The outsole is resistant to contact heat, low temperatures, and petroleum-based substances, making it suitable for work in demanding field and industrial conditions.
EN ISO 20347:2012 standard
Bennon Panther XTR footwear meets the EN ISO 20347:2012 standard, which means it is intended for occupational use, without a toe cap, but with attributes such as slip resistance, water resistance, heel cushioning, and antistatic properties.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
Full Grain is a type of leather that is considered one of the highest quality types of natural leather. It comes from the top layer of the animal's skin, which has not been treated, retaining all the natural characteristics and marks, such as wrinkles and bumps. Full Grain is extremely durable, resistant to damage and has a distinctive natural look.
Regi-Tex is a waterproof membrane used in footwear. It efficiently wicks away moisture and ensures proper air circulation inside them, while protecting them from the outside from getting wet.
Vibram 187C is a rubber outsole with anti-slip properties, featuring resistance to contact heat, cold and petroleum-based substances. It provides very good grip on various types of surfaces, which increases stability during various physical activities.
Absorba XTR is an anatomically contoured insole that absorbs shock and improves the stability of the foot through its natural positioning in the shoe. Thanks to the use of activated carbon, it also features antibacterial properties and prevents odors.
EN ISO 20347:2012 is an international standard that specifies requirements for professional footwear for professional use. Footwear meeting this standard provides foot protection in the form of anti-slip, anti-static, shock-absorbing properties and resistance to oily and petroleum-based substances, but does not have to be equipped with a protective toecap. ISO certification confirms that the manufacturer meets certain standards for personal protective equipment.

The shoes are lightweight and comfortable, the size is true to reality, and the sole seems to perform well on demanding terrain. We’ll see over time if they are durable.

I wore the shoes almost every day, both in the city and in various outdoor conditions, from November to the end of March, at different temperatures. They performed well at both -20°C and +15°C. They are resistant to mud, snow and rain (with proper care). Very comfortable on the foot, light and convenient. I definitely recommend them.
