BENNON Fjord Barefoot+ Ankle Boots Black

The BENNON Fjord Barefoot+ O6 ankle boots combine a sporty look with all-weather capability. They feature a wide toe box for natural toe movement alongside a thicker sole that cushions uneven terrain - you'll enjoy the freedom of barefoot footwear 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 grips wet pavements and forest trails alike, and the ankle height adds support on uneven ground. The all-textile MESH upper with TPU reinforcements is easy to maintain, making the Fjord suitable for city wear, hiking and outdoor work - and with EN ISO 20347 O6 certification, these are boots built to last.

Size chart

How to choose the right size

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

BENNON boots tend to fit on the roomier side. If you're 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.

If you're unsure about sizing, visit one of our stores to try them on.

• upper: MESH textile + TPU
• lining: REGI-TEX® membrane + sandwich MESH textile
• insole: ABSORBA FLATBED
• sole: PLUSOR (EVA/rubber)

How to care for your boots

• always remove heavy dirt with a brush first

• to increase water resistance, treat regularly with waterproofing spray
• do not use greases or waxes on membrane boots - they can reduce the membrane's performance

What you might want to know about BENNON Fjord Barefoot+

1. Are these boots really barefoot?
   They have a wide barefoot toe box and minimal drop, but a deliberately thicker and more cushioned sole. They're a compromise between barefoot feel and terrain protection - ideal if a classic barefoot sole isn't enough for a full day 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 a standard barefoot model.
3. How does the Fjord differ from the Terenno model?
   The Fjord has a textile upper and sportier look, while the Terenno is made from nubuck leather and offers additional cold resistance. Both models share the same REGI-TEX® membrane, PLUSOR sole and wider Barefoot+ fit.
4. Will the REGI-TEX® membrane keep water out?
   Yes, the membrane is waterproof and breathable - it handles rain, wet grass and slushy snow. They're not wellies though, so don't wade through deep water.
5. What terrain are they suitable for?
   The PLUSOR sole has anti-slip treatment (SR), so it handles city streets, forest paths and wet rocks. The boots aren't insulated - add warmer socks for freezing conditions.
6. What size should I choose?
   Measure your foot and add a 5-10 mm allowance, then select the size according to the internal length in the chart. BENNON boots fit on the roomier side, so if you're between sizes, go for the smaller one.
7. How do I care for the textile upper?
   Clean with a brush, wipe with a damp cloth and waterproof regularly. Skip greases and waxes - on membrane boots they can reduce functionality.
