Hiking sandals often have mythical development stories—river guides and thru hikers cobbling together prototypes in their garages, frustrated with the lack of performance in the current market. Bedrock is no different. Launched in 2011 by two guys who worked in river restoration designed sandals they wanted to wear. The result was Bedrock: simple, repairable sandals that have become mountain town staples.

Bedrock’s latest iteration, the Cairn 3D lives up to the hype. The sandals are minimalist, but still supportive, allowing you to log miles. The outsole is incredibly grippy, and we found that it’s capable of rocky terrain, sandy treks, or in-water adventures. And it’s repairable, so don’t worry about putting it through the wringer. Our testers found that it was by far the most capable (and lightest) hiking sandals of the group. Desert hikes, river trips, and even bikepacking, this sandal does it all. Take note that those who prefer more robust foot support should choose a different sandal on this list since Bedrock leans heavily into the minimalistic aspect of hiking sandals. If you want to hike light and fast, the Cairns are the best all-terrain vehicle for your feet.
