I've tried ever strap configuration and a few sizing swaps with Chacos and
just never found a pair that has worked. Being a tall but thin and big
footed fella the Chacos always felt so cumbersome and not very good at all
if I happened to go swimming in them. I'm someone who uses orthotics of

I bought a pair of Bedrocks at the beginning of the warm weather this year
in the Hudson Valley. Previously I had a pair from Merrell that I liked a
lot, but they both broke in the same place (a plastic loop that the heel
strap goes through) and after the second time, I never sent them back.

A semi-brief comment in general on minimalist shoes/sandals: They are
wonderful. No cushion, thin as possible, no support, and foot shaped (w-i-d-e
forefoot). I used to "need" orthotics (since age 12), had severe tendon issues
and flat feet. Going barefoot strengthened my feet, shortened them fr
I can't comment on the Chacos but I do own the Bedrock 3D Cairn. I
absolutely love these! I've been wearing them nearly everyday this summer.
I originally ordered the Classic model but returned them when I saw how
thin the soles were. You need the thicker sole to be comfortable on your
pedals i
I'm glad to have started the sandal solidarity economy!

Also:
I was told by the Bedrock guys when I bought mine that the Pro wears much
faster than the regular outsole so to only get it if you really are going into
the water.

We should start a ROG Sandal Exchange Program! Thank you for the comments
on the differences, that was my take as well. I did notice there is a
different pattern in the footbeds between the regular and pro, so it made
me curious if that material was somehow different too.? Not sure I need
stick
This is exactly why they fit me, but like all shoes made from recycled
rubber, Chacos have finite life, and fail with surprise. Merrills fit me
the same way and last much longer.

Robert,
I think you touched what's possibly the dividing line!
Achilles tendonitis or plantar fasciitis will change the way you assess
shoe fit. I've had a go at both and now I use Birkenstock 3/4 footbeds in
my shoes at work. Chacos have more contouring of their footbed, like a
Birkenstock,
What size and how much for those z1's?

As for the bedrock cairns, my understanding is that most of the difference is
in the outsole. The footbed of even the cairn 3D pro is pretty uncontoured and

I wear the Cairn Pro Adventure. They work great with my Grip Kings. I like
the non 3D version because I prefer to have the sandal form to my foot.

Can any Bedrock wearers speak to the differences in the models and/or
footbeds.
is one or the other better suited to biking on flat wide pedals?

You and I are quite opposite! I love the chaco
Interesting timing on this...I have been looking into the Bedrocks as well
with similar questions. I have a pair of Chacos and honestly cant stand
them. Or stand IN them more to the point. They make the soles of my feet
burn for lack of better description, are silly heavy, and I REALLY dislike

Its very different on each type of sandal IME. I would say if it bothers you
at first to lube it with some coconut oil and keep going.

Has anybody tried the Bedrocks and found that the toe strap configuration
bothers their feet? That is the problem with my current set of Chacos, I
find the 'toe noose' very uncomfortable. I love the thick sole of the
Chacos for riding, but a lighter sandal also sounds quite nice. Just don't

No Chaco experience but I had a pair of Bedrock Cairns for a couple years.
Absolutely live in them until the weather turns too cold. I upgraded to the 3D

I prefer the Chaco Z1 strap system to the Bedrocks. I don't love the tall heel

Chacos have a high arches and thick soles. I tried them and the arch kills my

I went from chacos to bedrocks and like them much better. Chacos sole is really

Depends on which Bedrocks. The non-3d versions are very very thin compared
to Chacos. Plus the retention doesn't feel as LOCKED IN as Chacos feel. The
toe strap takes some getting used to but in the long run I think they are a
great adventure sandal. I have non-3d Cairns and would definitely get
