Bedrock Sandals first came on the scene making ultralight hiking sandals unlike anything Chaco, Teva, or the other big players were making. The upstart's early 2011 prototype has since become the Bedrock Cairn, a cult hero among hikers that has spawned a whole range of Cairn Evo iterations catering to those that crave the barefoot feel and others looking for more comfort and cushion. And for those looking to cover their toes but still free the heel, Bedrock makes the Mountain Clog, a comfy mule for daily wear that's at home in mountain towns and city centers alike (more on my wear test below). With a wide toe box, Vibram Megagrip outsole, and an innovative strap system with 3 adjustment zones, they're ready for action—and just chilling, too.
The initial Bedrock Clogs' 2023 release sold out in a matter of weeks—and then their entire restock shipment was stolen in an Oceans Eleven style heis (seriously). Now, for fall 2024 the Montana-based sandal brand has released three new colors (Deep Plum, Driftwood Gray, Ponderosa Brown), bringing the available colorways up to seven across nubuck leather, leather suede, and synthetic suede finishes.
