Winter 3.0 - Matt Black

Almost a year out, with heavy use, many kilometers, this boot is a big win!

I first bought two of the Be Lenka Winter 3.0 in early 2024. First was the matte black nubuk leather, which was so comfortable in below freezing weather, that I bought the smooth leather version for work I do that involves kilometers of walking and carrying heavy loads at times. Both have been stellar. The soles look new despite all the walking.

I followed advice and sized up from the size chart size 38 to a size 39. As I have high arches, I did have to remove the insoles and wear thinner socks. Now the wool has compacted and I can wear the insoles. My bare feet measure 23,5cm, but with 10cm toes, and high arches, so finding shoes that fit is always a struggle. The shoe laces seemed short at first, but they stretch quit a bit and are now long.

The quality has been outstanding, like the best of vintage, but with foot shaped and flexible. Others in my family have also bought Be Lenka and have been very happy.

This pair I ordered so I can alternate between three boots. I wish Be Lenka would make the Winter 3.0 with a leather lining for the rest of the year, or a shoe version with all leather lining. Or work shoes with this shape that have toe protection.

These are the boots. These are the perfect, winter, warm, barefoot boots I've been searching for, for about 2 years. I've ordered and returned from a few different barefoot companies. I've tried on multiple boots. I've kept my old non-barefoot ones (which are worn out and hurt my feet) for far too long, even re-soling them twice, because I couldn't find a suitable replacement. But the other day, I was in a Trader Joe's grocery store and I saw someone wearing these boots, and I asked her about them. She highly recommended everything about them, I loved the way they looked, and the fact they are lined with merino, I loved the color and everything. So I hurried home and ordered them. They arrived quickly, and they are perfect. I love everything about them, and wearing them makes me so happy!!! I can finally throw away my old boots!

These boots are awesome. I wear them daily for my outdoor adventures with my rescue dogs from Unega mountain dog rescue. I average 30,000 steps a day. They have been warm dry and staying together perfectly. I did waterproof the leather with suede spray waterproofing out of the box. I will be buying them again in the future. Also, customer service is amazing. Best functional zero drop shoe on the market for colder weather.

These boots are amazing. The warmest zero drop, wide toe box shoes I have found by far! Perfect for the winter here in Colorado. The wool insulation is very warm and keeps my feet cozy even at 20 degrees F (-6 C). Also thank you Be Lenka for using natural materials like wool instead of polyester, so no harmful chemicals are going into our body through our feet! Highly recommend these boots to anyone who wears barefoot shoes and is looking for a warm boot. Very impressed!
