Bennon HORIZON Barefoot+ O1 NM | more cushioning and a wide barefoot toe box

This expert product description was prepared by the ANAREUS.cz expert team. All rights to this unique content are bound to the anareus.cz domain.Bennon HORIZON Barefoot+ O1 NM are low-cut shoes for those who want a wide barefoot toe box and more natural space for the toes, but at the same time prefer greater cushioning when walking and do not want to feel every stone and uneven surface as they would in traditional barefoot footwear. The Barefoot+ concept therefore uses a higher outsole that provides better cushioning on hard and uneven surfaces without sacrificing the wide shape of the forefoot and minimal drop. The upper combines breathable MESH fabric with TPU elements. The result is a lightweight construction suitable for everyday active use, trips and light to moderately demanding terrain. At the heart of the model is the PLUSOR outsole made from EVA and rubber, designed specifically for the Barefoot+ range. It has a wider base for stability and a higher profile that helps cushion uneven surfaces, so you do not feel every stone beneath your feet. The outsole also meets the requirements for SR slip resistance and is resistant to fuel oils. Comfort is further enhanced by the ABSORBA FLATBED insole. The footwear also has antistatic properties, absorbs energy in the heel area and contains no metal components. It therefore combines the properties of O1 category work footwear with a Barefoot+ construction focused on providing more space for the foot and comfortable movement.

Key features

Wide Barefoot+ toe box

The wider forefoot gives the toes more space and allows the foot to move more naturally. Barefoot+ is particularly suitable for those with wider feet or anyone who does not want their toes compressed by a narrow toe box.

Higher-profile PLUSOR outsole

The proprietary PLUSOR outsole combines a wider base, minimal drop and higher profile for greater cushioning and protection against uneven hard and natural surfaces.

SR slip resistance

The outsole meets the requirements for SR slip resistance. It is tested on ceramic tiles with glycerine, simulating a contaminated and slippery surface.

Breathable MESH + TPU upper

The upper made from MESH fabric complemented by TPU elements promotes ventilation, low weight and durability during everyday use.

Metal-free and antistatic design

The shoes contain no metal components, have antistatic properties and also provide energy absorption in the heel area.

Size chart

ANAREUS tip: Barefoot+ is not designed as traditional flat barefoot footwear with a very thin outsole. It retains a wide toe box and minimal drop, but thanks to the higher PLUSOR outsole it provides more cushioning and better isolates the foot from uneven surfaces. It is therefore an interesting option for those who appreciate the extra space of barefoot footwear but do not want to feel every stone while walking.

Frequently asked questions from our store

What does Barefoot+ mean?

Barefoot+ retains a wide toe box with plenty of room for the toes and minimal drop, but unlike the traditional barefoot concept it uses a higher outsole with greater cushioning. This provides more protection against hard and uneven surfaces.

Are HORIZON Barefoot+ suitable for wider feet?

Yes. The construction features a wide barefoot toe box that provides more space for the toes. The specific width for each size can be found in the size chart.

Will I feel every stone in these shoes like I would in traditional barefoot footwear?

This is precisely what the Barefoot+ concept aims to prevent. The PLUSOR outsole has a higher profile and greater cushioning, so it absorbs uneven terrain more effectively and provides the foot with greater protection.

What terrain are Bennon HORIZON Barefoot+ suitable for?

The manufacturer recommends them for light to moderately demanding terrain, for example trips, forest paths, gravel tracks, walks in nature and everyday active wear.

How do I choose the correct size?

With this model, it is advisable to consider not only the internal length but also the foot width, as the extra space for the toes is one of the key features of the Barefoot+ construction. Both measurements for sizes 36–48 can be found in the table above.
