Bennon Terenno Low Shoes - Brown

These are my first shoes from this brand. I chose them mainly because of the design. In person, they look even better than in the photos and they seem very sturdy. The quick lacing system works great and I really like it. The sole is quite firm—I'm wondering if it will become more flexible over time, but it doesn't negatively affect the comfort when walking. So far, I've only worn them around town and I'm completely satisfied.

I am surprised by the negative comments. I bought these shoes from this shop, although on another platform, and left my opinion there. I have been using them for a year; they performed well in autumn, spring and now again during another autumn. I mainly walk in them on trails in the Beskids, but also in other mountains. The shoes met my expectations – I wanted low leather trekking shoes with a membrane and a good, grippy sole. They fit my feet perfectly. I appreciate their durability. Recently, I completed a 6-hour route in the Beskids in them, with demanding climbs over wet stones and roots, sometimes on slopes up to 45 degrees. The sole is Vibram – a rubber mixture for trekking with an aggressive tread. I recommend impregnating the shoes after purchase.

The shoes are average in quality; in one place they have already started to come apart. The sole is a complete failure – it is very slippery on wood, stones or metal when it's wet. This is dangerous and you could seriously fall. I strongly advise against them; I almost had an accident because of these shoes. Cheaper shoes from a regular shop were much better in such conditions.

After a short time of wearing them, the shoes started to split at the bend near the toes. The black rubber at the edges is starting to peel away. Apart from that, they are fairly comfortable. Grip is average – on gravel and stony paths it's ok, but on flat surfaces you can easily slip.

The shoes were made quite solidly and carefully, but problems appeared during use. The membrane stopped being waterproof and the shoes became very stretched out. The sole grips well only on rough terrain, but on stones or smooth surfaces like tiles, they are very slippery and dangerous. On the positive side – they are quite comfortable.

Recently bought for cooler, autumn days, so I’m sharing my first impressions. The shoes are made with great care, the stitching is double and even, there are no loose threads or unfinished seams. They are very comfortable and fit well just below the ankle, so they won't cause chafing. The sole is stiff but the shoe bends evenly. They will be suitable both in the city and during walks in the forest on not too demanding terrain.
