I’ve had these shoes for almost a year, and during that time they’ve been used very heavily — both in summer and in winter, in all kinds of weather. They fit very well, don’t rub, and don’t pinch, so I have no complaints in that regard. The laces are still the original ones, and the plastic parts holding them are still sturdy. My feet don’t overheat or get cold. Of course, from time to time they need to be cleaned and protected; I’ve tried various products — from petroleum jelly to specialist sprays and polishes — and the shoes handled it well. They’re definitely worth recommending both for everyday wear and for long hikes or tougher conditions. IMPORTANT: be sure to check the manufacturer’s size chart, because although I usually wear a size 43, in this case I had to choose a size 42.
Bennon Commodore Light 01 Boots - Brown
High, brown tactical boots are suitable for both urban environments and challenging, varied terrains. Designed for use by uniformed services such as police and security, they stand out for their durability and comfort. Materials like Full Grain leather and Oxford fabrics ensure longevity and proper ventilation.
Upper made of natural leather and Oxford fabric, breathable lining
The upper part of the boot is made from natural Full Grain cow leather with a thickness of 2 mm. This leather retains a full structure, is durable and resistant to damage, and is easy to maintain.
The boot collar is reinforced with Oxford fabric. The entire construction is made solidly, ensuring comfort even during prolonged walking or working in difficult conditions. The interior is lined with a textile Mesh lining, supporting additional ventilation and user comfort.
Anatomical Warrior insole, extra heel support
The interior of the boots is equipped with an anatomically shaped Warrior insole with a thickness of 4 mm, built from several layers of materials such as Cambrella, EVA, and latex. The insole features antibacterial properties, preventing unpleasant odors during intensive wear. Thanks to the use of EVA material, the insole effectively absorbs shocks. The bottom layer of the insole, made of latex, provides additional support for the heel, minimizing foot fatigue after many hours of work.
Durable PU/PU sole, high traction
The Commodore Light 01 model is equipped with a sole made using the direct injection method from polyurethane (PU/PU). The upper layer is softer and more flexible, enhancing comfort, while the lower layer is harder, increasing abrasion resistance and stability.
Spider no. 10 tread increases traction on various surfaces. It is cut-resistant and protects against chemical substances, such as oils and greases.
Practical and quick lacing system
The lacing system in this model allows for quick and easy putting on and taking off of the boots. The lacing accessories (eyelets) are made of non-metallic, self-cleaning materials, eliminating the risk of corrosion, even in humid conditions. The laces are round and provide better hold, preventing them from coming undone during use.
Safety standards
The boots meet the EN ISO 20347 O1 SRA FO standard, indicating their resistance to slipping and the effects of oils and greases. Bennon Commodore Light 01 ensures user safety in difficult conditions, such as wet, oily, or slippery surfaces, making them suitable for uniformed services and workers in demanding environments.

The shoes quickly adapted to my foot, they are quite stiff, but still comfortable to walk in. They seem solid, and the sole provides good traction on slippery surfaces. I'll see how durable they are after longer use.
-
I have been using them for two years now – they have proven themselves on mountain trips, forest expeditions, both in summer and winter, and I have also worn them to work in the office. I am extremely satisfied with them. They are lightweight and provide good ankle support. For winter, I swapped the insole for a warmer, thermal one and even at -20 degrees it was comfortable. Nothing is coming apart, only typical signs of use are visible. I was so impressed with this brand that I also bought their sandals for summer – they are great.
-
In my opinion, this is total junk. I wore them maybe 4–5 times, and one shoe has already fallen apart. The sole came unstuck from the rest of the shoe, even though they were not used in any extreme conditions at all.
-
These are very good boots, although it is worth paying attention to the heel counters — at the seam, the whole boot split in half for me, and the lining can wear through over time. Apart from that, they protect very well against the cold, are comfortable, stabilize the foot well, and are not heavy. During walks in Sweden at -15 degrees, they performed excellently. After being repaired by a cobbler, they still serve me well — it was enough to stitch them up and replace the heel counters. The leather is thick and sturdy, as is the sole, and the price remains reasonable.

The shoes are well made, quickly adapted to the shape of my foot, and the leather seems durable. I have been using them for several months and I am very satisfied with the purchase.

I've been using Bennon shoes for a year and a half and overall I am satisfied with them; they are comfortable and support the ankle well, they do not slip on snow, and are ideal for long walks on various terrains. The only major downside is the front of the shoes – the paint comes off quickly and after some time the material inside wore out and I had to have them repaired by a cobbler. Despite that, I can still recommend them, although the front wears out quickly – I noticed damage after about three months already.
-
The shoes are the right size, comfortable to walk in even before they fully break in, durable, and the sole provides good grip on different surfaces.
-
The shoes worked well during my first walks in the forest. I usually wear size 42, but here I chose 41 and they are perfect. I recommend using an additional insole and buying a product like 'Coccine Leather Fat 50 ml (for example)'. It's good to protect them from time to time – then they'll definitely last for many years. I definitely recommend them.
-
A lousy pair of footwear. After 6 months of wearing them, not for field training, just in the office, both boots broke at the back. I wouldn't recommend them. But with advertising, that's the soul of commerce... I was left with just that. This has nothing to do with the description.
-
After purchase, the shoes seemed durable and carefully made. With proper protection, they didn't let in water, but after eight months of use, the stitches connecting the upper to the sole came apart in both shoes. It's worth adding that I didn't use them for intense marches, just gentle walks in the forest, about 4 km per day.
-
The shoes are of very poor quality – if someone is looking for ankle slippers just for home, they might work. After the first walk on dry snow, the outer paint layer came off, and after the second walk, when the snow started to melt, they were completely soaked after an hour. My socks were totally wet, I’ve never had worse shoes, a complete disaster!
-
The shoes appear to be very sturdy, the leather is strong and durable. They are comfortable, although it takes some time for them to adapt to your feet and become really comfortable. Perfect for colder days, around zero degrees. The size is slightly larger than standard.
-
The shoes are well made, comfortable, and the size matches exactly what is listed in the size chart. At first, for a day or two, they needed a bit of breaking in, but now they are very comfortable and soft. I've been using them intensively for several months and they show no signs of wear. Once they wear out, I will probably buy the same model again.
-
The shoes are generally quite good, especially if you get them at a big discount. I immediately changed the laces. They take a lot of time to adapt to your foot, but later they are really comfortable. Mine were used mainly in the forest on weekends and lasted about 10 months. Then on one shoe the sole cracked, and on the other the stitches in the back came undone – the shoe fell apart during a one-hour walk home. Unfortunately, it's hard to find something comfortable for that promotional price.
