Bennon Clifton Sandals - Brown

The open heel of the sandals allows pebbles, sticks, pine needles, or weeds to get inside during trips 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 to prevent them from rubbing against my ankles. The toe area is too wide, my foot slides, and because there's no full tongue, you can't tie them up properly. The sole is thin, so walking on stones is uncomfortable without extra insoles. The lace lock doesn't work well; you often have to adjust them. The only major advantage of these shoes is their price.

Overall, I rate these shoes a 3+. I've been using them for a few months. They have thin soles and a deep fit—I had to add an extra insole to prevent them from rubbing my ankles. The toe area is very wide, giving the foot plenty of room. Instead of a classic tongue, the construction doesn't allow for a good fit on narrower feet. One of the clamps doesn't hold the lace well. I recommend this basic model mainly for walking on grass—for greater challenges, like rocks or stones, other or reinforced insoles would be useful. The only strong point is the stable sole and reasonable price.

The shoes provide good protection for the foot and are well constructed. The lacing system is convenient, and there is plenty of space inside for the foot. An interesting feature is the rubber that resembles leather. The shoes dry quickly and have a distinct off-road sole, which increases traction. In my opinion, the design is the most attractive among similar models. The build quality makes a great impression and suggests long durability, though time will tell.

The slippers are very comfortable, have good ventilation, and are light. However, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer's size chart because it overstates the values—it's best to measure your foot in centimeters. The sole is perfect for city use and light terrain. I highly recommend them!
