Winter doesn’t choose when to step into your path. Morning ice, snow on the pavement, frost at the bus stop. Be Lenka men’s winter barefoot boots are ready for everything. Warming materials hold the heat, the durable upper repels moisture, and the foot works naturally, as if there were no winter at all.
Which winter barefoot boots suit men?
It depends on how you spend your winter days. For an urban regime with commutes to work, insulated ankle models suffice; they match a coat and a jacket alike and handle the pavement in any state. Men who spend more time outdoors are best served by boots with a higher cut, insulation and a membrane against moisture and snow; you’ll find those among men’s ankle and high-top barefoot boots as well.
Winter barefoot boots for the city and beyond
Good winter boots don’t know the term unsuitable conditions. Monday an underground garage and the office, Saturday the cottage and metre-high drifts. Be Lenka winter models are built for both worlds. Yet they please with an urban look, thanks to which they don’t look like gear for a polar expedition. The functional properties of some models, though, will hold you up even in extreme conditions and keep the warmth even at deep sub-zero temperatures.
Frost tests every material
At sub-zero temperatures, cheap solutions give themselves away quickly. Ordinary soles aren’t flexible and grippy enough, weak seams let moisture through and poor insulation stops warming exactly when you need it most. That’s why Be Lenka builds its winter models on its own sole compounds, which keep their durability, flexibility and grip, and on carefully selected warming materials. On top of that, it tests the footwear over thousands of steps, because premium quality can’t be faked in January.
Free toes, warm feet
The best heating is right in your foot. Free toes with good circulation keep the warmth themselves, while toes squeezed in a narrow point freeze first. The barefoot cut is therefore no compromise in winter, but an advantage. Add a quality merino sock, for which there’s enough room in the wide toe box, and the freezing wait for the bus stops being a fight for survival. The frost is welcome to bite harder.
How to combine winter barefoot boots with a suit for work?
+ -Choose smooth leather ankle models in black or dark brown. If you want to keep a more formal look, better choose classic full-length trousers. The higher cut isn’t visible under the trouser leg, and on the way to work you’ll appreciate the protection against cold and moisture. Keep elegant low-cut shoes at the office to change into, if the dress code requires it. Mostly, though, ankle models hold their own at meetings too.
Is one pair of boots enough for winter?
+ -For city men yes; one quality insulated pair really handles the whole season. If you alternate the city with the mountains or spend whole days outdoors in the terrain, it pays to have at least two pairs in stock: city boots for the week and more robust or sportier ones for the weekends. If you have several boots, they get to dry out in turns, which extends both their lifespan and thermal comfort.
How to break in winter boots before the season?
+ -Buy them before the snow falls and start wearing them on shorter walks while it’s still autumn. The materials adapt to the foot, which gradually gets used to them, so with the first frost you’re already putting on a proven pair. Broken-in boots with a quality sock are the best winter gear.
