Whether you love it or fear it, change is inevitable in life and footwear. Luckily I can say that the evolution headed your way in the form of the Bedrock Cairn Evo Sandals is progress for the better.
Released 13 February 2024, the beloved Bedrock Cairn adventure sandal line—which includes the Cairn, Cairn 3D, Cairn Pro, and Cairn 3D Pro—have received several substantial design updates. These highly anticipated changes include a new shape, updated sizing, Vibram XS Trek Evo sole for new and re-soled sandals, and a brand new, comfort-focused model in the Bedrock Cairn C sandal. I’ll dig into each new update in greater detail below, including my full gear review of the Bedrock Cairn Evo C.
I’ve been hiking, rafting, testing, and hyping Bedrock sandals since 2018 and I’ve put serious miles on just about every model (even the Bedrock Mountain Clog, which also recently received a new red clay colorway introduced). If you’re new to the Bedrock Sandal world, my guides to the best hiking sandals for women and men are a great place to start.
