Recently converted into being a sandalman after wearing clogs for years, and the Bedrock Cairn Evo have been awesome. It feels so good to ride in sandals! I’ve been a fool for years. I have MKS Gamma + extensions on my Clem, and the combo has been handling some rough, twisty and slightly technical singletrack with ease.
If I feel like I need some more robustness, I have some Birkenstock Reykjavic that are stalwart defenders of my feet. I feel like I could kick down a thorny door in those things. Not quite barefoot, but they come stock with special Birki insoles that feel very comfortable and supportive. Both really lock into the pins on my pedals. I never feel like I’m going to slip off, even when hopping a a log or leaning through a turn at a 45• angle.
