The upper is so-so, the shoe is light, breathable and generally okay, I can't complain about that, but the sole is a total tragedy. The shoes were used very little, yet the soles are falling apart, delaminating, and crumbling before your eyes. I do not recommend them because of the soles.
Bennon Grom Boots - Black
Black boots engineered for extended wear. Constructed from premium natural cowhide leather and integrated with Oxford textile panels, delivering outstanding ventilation without compromising on high durability. Compliant with the EN ISO 20347 O1 SRA FO standard, ideal for duty uniforms as well as daily urban or outdoor activities.
cowhide, oxford fabric, mesh lining
The upper section of the boots is crafted from cowhide leather, delivering exceptional damage resistance and making these boots well-suited for rigorous use. Flexible Oxford fabric panels conform to the foot’s contours and work together with the mesh lining to promote outstanding airflow, ensuring superior comfort throughout wear.
Durable sole with deep tread
The flexible and durable sole, crafted using the direct PU/PU injection technique, guarantees secure movement across a variety of terrains. Featuring exceptional cushioning, a non-slip surface, and a deep tread, the sole delivers reliable traction, even on wet or slippery ground. Outstanding resistance to abrasion, cuts, and exposure to oils and greases further enhances durability.
anatomical insoles with heel cushioning area
For enhanced comfort, the boots feature anatomical antibacterial insoles designed with odor-eliminating capabilities. The insoles are precisely contoured and incorporate a dedicated heel cushioning zone.
Quick lacing system, loop at the back of the upper
The quick lacing system ensures a precise fit of the boots to the contours of the feet, while the highly stitched tongue acts as a barrier against sand, dust, and other debris entering the boot.

Oxford is a type of fabric made of synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon) or a mixture of synthetic and natural fibers (cotton) with a dense weave. It is characterized by high mechanical strength and waterproof properties.
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 SRA class is a designation used in international safety standards for safety footwear (EN ISO 20345) and occupational footwear (EN ISO 20347) that specifies the level of slip resistance on ceramic substrates coated with a solution of sodium lauryl sulfate (a strong detergent).

After a year of use, and speaking calmly before buying new boots, I warn potential victims of the Bennon brand. Leather: okay. Considering how much I polished and buffed them, there are still quite a lot of scuffs and discoloration, but I didn’t spare the boots; they were used from late autumn until April. The sole, however, is paper pretending to be rubber. I have never encountered such poor-quality bottoms before. At first glance, it looks like a solid piece of rubber promising hundreds of kilometers of walking, but after a week the first glue cracks appeared — after half a year of use, the boots are fit only for the trash. It’s a pity, because I thought I had found a brand that would deliver. The glue cracks like New Year’s Eve fireworks, and the rubber breaks from a stronger stomp of the foot, so even a shoe mat may end its lifespan. The laces are a detail, but if anyone is tempted and buys them anyway, I recommend replacing them immediately, because they will also snap after a week. I am attaching photos as a warning, speaking soberly. Please consider whether you have ever encountered rubber behaving like this in shoes more expensive than a 50 PLN pair from a supermarket. On the plus side, as always, fast delivery from Militaria.

I've been wearing them for three years already, very nice shoes, light and comfortable. For 3 years I had no problems with water seeping in, but recently in tall grass after rain, the material where the laces are tied got soaked. I hope it's just a matter of reapplying waterproofing. Either way, I recommend them.
-
Very comfortable shoes for my foot, which is wider than military standards :) Normally I wear size 44.5-45, but thanks to earlier user comments, I bought size 44 and it fits perfectly. PS: the shoelaces could be a bit longer.
-
Excellent tactical shoes, comfortable from the first wear and quite wide, which is a plus for me. Superbly made and offered at a great price for such quality—just get them. I tried other shoes in this price range, but these were the most comfortable. Before buying, it's best to measure your size because the sizing is indeed a bit large. I usually wear size 42, but in this case, I had to take size 41. I recommend them with a clear conscience.

Great shoes, lightweight, waterproof, perfect for autumn, winter, and spring. The price is also very reasonable for the quality—really favorable. Lightweight boots, perfect for hiking. They provide good ankle support while wearing. They are waterproof in light snow and retain internal heat. This brand has worked very well for me, in my opinion, it's worth every penny. The soles do not wear out, yet they are soft and have good grip on the ground. I love them and recommend all Bennon products—super durable footwear!

The shoes are very comfortable, lightweight, and seem durable. I can confidently recommend them in this price category. I ordered them both for myself and my family. They are perfect for mushroom picking or trips into the countryside. I RECOMMEND!
-
Amazing shoes. Comfortable. I feel confident in them while walking. I highly recommend them for the forest or the city, 100%. The price is not excessive. The only thing I can complain about is the strange way of tying at the top of the upper, but overall, it’s perfect.
-
Light and durable. Major downside: soft laces, which makes it impossible to tie them quickly and easily (they even jam in the eyelets), so convenient lacing is out of the question.
-
Fantastic tactical boots, comfortable from the first wear, quite wide which is a plus for me, superbly made and a great price for such quality – only buy them.
-
Comfortable and inexpensive tactical shoes. Bought as winter shoes, they are very warm. They are super comfortable and easy to clean. I highly recommend purchasing this product.
-
I'm lowering the rating due to being misled, namely, the sole is not non-slip. During the first outing in these shoes, they slid even on snow. It was very dangerous. Later, they gained a bit better grip, but I cannot say that the sole is non-slip.
-
Good tactical boots at a good price. They look nice and, after proper impregnation, it's hard for them to get wet, especially since the tongue is sewn high so water can't get in. The sole is mostly suitable for asphalt, cobblestone, and light terrain. On steep, slippery sections, the boot will slip. They could be better fitted. A higher insole solves this problem, but then they might be a bit tight.
-
The boots turned out very well, made of strong material, durable, withstands training. They need to be taken care of and they will reward you greatly, unlike most shoes today which only last for a year. They're lightweight yet hold the foot well even on rough terrain. They don't wear down easily, well-cushioned, comfortable. I recommend them, thank you.

I bought the shoes today and took a long walk with my dog in the rain and mud. The shoes are very comfortable, lightweight, and work well in the rain. I definitely recommend them.
