BENNON Terenno Barefoot Men's Outdoor Ankle Boots Brown

Waterproof barefoot ankle boots in brown nubuck with a wide toe box, minimal drop and a grippy PLUSOR sole for trails, gardens and work outdoors.

The BENNON Terenno Barefoot+ O6 ankle boots are built for rough ground, yet your foot still moves naturally in them. This popular outdoor model now has a wider construction and a comfort sole, so you enjoy freedom for your toes without feeling every pebble underfoot.

The waterproof, breathable REGI-TEX® membrane keeps your feet dry in rain and wet grass, the anti-slip PLUSOR sole copes with mud and wet stones, and the ankle-height cut adds support on uneven surfaces. The brown nubuck upper suits hikes, gardening and working outdoors, and with EN ISO 20347 O6 certification these are boots that really last.

Size chart

How to choose the right size

Measure your foot length and add an allowance of 5-10 mm.

BENNON shoes tend to fit slightly roomy. If you are between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller one.

There is no difference in cut, length or width between women's and men's models in the same size.

How to care for your shoes

• always brush off coarse dirt first

• do not machine wash them or dry them directly next to heat sources
• to increase durability, treat the shoes regularly with a waterproofing spray
• nubuck is easy to clean with a special cleaning rubber
• do not use greases or balms on shoes with a membrane, as they could reduce its performance
• with proper care, your leather will last a long time

What you might want to know about the BENNON Terenno Barefoot+

1. Are these boots really barefoot?
   They have a wide barefoot toe box and minimal drop, but a deliberately taller, more cushioning sole. They are a compromise between barefoot feel and protection on rough terrain, ideal if a classic barefoot sole is not enough outdoors.
2. Who is the Barefoot+ version for?
   For wider feet and anyone who wants a natural stride without feeling every pebble underfoot. The construction is wider than in a standard barefoot model.
3. Does the REGI-TEX® membrane keep water out?
   Yes, the membrane is waterproof and breathable. It copes with rain, wet grass and slush. They are not wellies, though, so do not push them by wading through deeper water.
4. What terrain are they suited to?
   The PLUSOR sole has a coarse tread and anti-slip finish (SR), so it handles forest paths, stones, mud and snowy towns. Thanks to its cold resistance (CI), it is also suitable for colder months.
5. What size should I choose?
   Measure your foot and add an allowance of 5-10 mm to its length, then pick the size by inner length in the chart. BENNON shoes tend to fit slightly roomy, so if you are between two sizes, take the smaller one.
6. How do I care for nubuck?
   Brush it clean, use a cleaning rubber for greasy marks and waterproof it regularly. Avoid greases and balms, as on shoes with a membrane they can reduce its performance.
