I've got three kinds of Bedrocks now, 2 1/2 years in.... fuggin love these things. Weird kind of dont-anyone-touch-my-fuggin-sandals sort of love. I was super worried about the toe-post at first as well, but after some adjustments that totally went away. Love. LOVE these damn things. But to be fair, my Bedrocks DO sometimes sleep in my bed. True story.
Couldn't agree more! These are totally the best sandals ever.I use them for biking, hiking, kayaking, and everything else. Thank you for the great review!
Yep. All so very true. I’ll just say: spend the extra $10 and get the pro if you ever intend to be near wet, or even dampish rock. The standard Cairn will outlast the pro because of its harder compound, and are great for dry conditions or an urban set up, but out there on the rocks you want the grip. It’s a health and safety thing, like not busting your leg or hip or arm. That kinda stuff gets real expensive! And hurts!
Did you happen to wear them in water? I love my Xero Z Trails but my feet slide around inside them when they get wet. Are the Cairn Pro II’s more secure on the foot when wet? To be clear I’m asking about the footbed itself being slippery, not the outsole’s grip on the ground. Thanks!
Hi it looks like you have a little extra room in front of your toes and behind your heal... My new bedrocks fit like that too but I'm thinking of swapping for a snugger fit. How did you like that fit? Thanks
On a steep trail,and on big sideways sloped rocks,I thought they moved around too much,and they hurt,on a steep downhill from the thong between the toes- ok everywhere else.-until a few days later,when the damn buckle won’t stay tight .that’s my 2 cents.- and ,if your a half size - size up,not down.great customer service.- just my opinion,.of course ! Updated ,edited- after throwing away my new sandals,I ordered Teva trail- haven’t tested them yet.this is a influential video and helped me choose the 3d first- a hundred and 40 bucks. !
How fast does it take for them to dry and how well do they deal with foot odor? I live in tropical south east Asia and Tevas takes 2 days to dry up in the humidity here when in the jungle. Plus I have sweaty feet. So humidity + the feet really doesn't work for tevas here all too much. Thanks for making this review!
Let’s not kid ourselves with the resole program. It’s cool that I only have to pay $55 for a new sole rather than building a new sandal at $100 plus, but that’s a big chunk of rubber. Are they recycling it? Recycling rubber is not as eco-friendly as people might think.
Alisha, I have a QQ: I have narrow feet and have been recommended Cairns because of this...however I see the heel posts are fixed and I'm told by Bedrock 8cms apart. Do you find lateral movement with your heel in these while trail walking?
Hi, JN! Happy to help! I also have narrow feet! And while there is maybe a little side-to-side heel movement, it’s not too bad. Mostly because the heel strap is adjustable, So you can make it pretty snug. Fun fact: we have an updated sandal review coming soon with a few new models, so keep an eye out for that, too! 😉
@@Terradrift I bought size 11 which have 1cm extra on each side and I never got used to them ,I ordered size 10 in these sales and I’m looking forward to them I have planned very long runs on them
I went for a tight fit after other said it was better. I didn't like it. Big toe coming off the front a little on downhills and even stubbed my toe. I found exactly what bedrock recommends on their templates to be perfect for me

Do they use Velcro ?

Definitely getting these! Just have to decide if I want black so they match everything or the blue cuz its a super nice blue

thanks your comment made me go for the pro 2 instead of the classic!

I chose this size because when hiking I like a little extra toe protection. As far as comfort goes I found both sizes about the same!
Amazing sandals, but in Russia I had to spend 200$ to buy.

Just bought my first pair of Bedrocks after watching this video! Ditching my chacos! Thanks TD
Nice! We ditched our Chacos a few years ago and never looked back!

Karen pros 😂. I'm getting a pair.
How much for the Adventure Cat 🐈?
😂
Toe crack? Great review and very helpful for me since I was concerned about the cord between my toes and if it would cause issues doing heavy Hiking.
Your awesome great reviews you should be an actor 🏆 closest I can get to an Oscar.
🤩
The non pro feels fits way better … I have a couple of those and one pro

So what’s the alternative? And so what if they are and what if they aren’t?
Probably to wear them until you get a whole in them & then they could probably be used around the house.
Fantastic review - thank you!
Next thing you know people gonna start doing skate board tricks in sandals
👍 good selection, good Presentation 👍
No toe protection, equals hesitation in critical situations. Not for me
What color are the sandals in front of you? Charcoal?
Yep!
These look pretty great.. dang. I like the hook clip thing too.
Thanks, great review. Is this the Charcoal color?
worried lifting up my foot in water alot will wear out the single front hold

Is it possible the cairn pro 2 can be black on the bottom like the cairn original ones?
What is the color in the video?
It looks like there is Velcro on the straps. Is there any Velcro involved in the making of any of these sandals?
I think the newer models do not but the older models do. I have two pairs from 2018 so I only have the older style. But that new lilac color! Yes.
@@moniqrupley6019 I got my pro 2 no Velcro. Love them !
Toe Jam, is now Toe Pit😂
Great review. Thanks.
Is the back strap flexible and comfortable enough to step on and wear these as flip flops?
It’s flexible, I use it as a flip flop occasionally just to run outside, but not for a lot of walking around.
They go on so quickly you don't even need to worry about it in my experience. I can put'm on n off with one hand while standing.
Great review ! I wish I could get those in Europe :)
update on that => my brother just brought me those from USA and I am loving them so far!
there is an eu dealer: wilderoben
but tell us about your shirt too🧐
It’s a hemp shirt from Toad&Co
Regardless the templates do you reckon there should be extra space on both sides ?
I find this is totally a preference thing. Some folks like their sandals cut closer to their feet and other don’t. Try it out and see what suits you!
@@Terradrift I bought size 11 which have 1cm extra on each side and I never got used to them ,I ordered size 10 in these sales and I’m looking forward to them I have planned very long runs on them
Did you like the smaller size better?
I went for a tight fit after other said it was better. I didn't like it. Big toe coming off the front a little on downhills and even stubbed my toe. I found exactly what bedrock recommends on their templates to be perfect for me
Did you size up or did you receive your "normal" size? I'm between a women's 9 and 10, so I don't know which size to order! 🤣
I typically get a normal size or sometimes smaller!
Loved the review, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks you made me order a pair. 🙏🏼😄
😁
Good luck
Do they smell after some time? I've tried Chaco, Keen, etc... they reek after time when wet.
Dust them with some baking soda and spray with a little water. Salt kills the bacteria which causes the smell

Nice
