I was looking for a sandal that I could wear playing outside with my toddler this summer. I had been wearing the teva original universal sandal, but the straps were aggravating my big toe joint, not performing well when wet, and the heel to toe drop and arch support were hurting my knees. These bedrock sandals are perfect! They are comfortable when wet or dry. The straps are easy to adjust to take pressure off sensitive joints and bones in the feet. The grip is well performing. They are sturdy, flexible, and foot shaped. The 0mm drop and no arch support is what I was looking for. They secure to my foot very well- I can sprint after my toddler with no strap slipping. I can babywear and take a walk with my 35 lb toddler on my back in these sandals. And I can sit cross legged on the ground without the sandals cutting into my skin or being uncomfortable. As far as I’m concerned, these are the perfect summer sandals for what I need them for. This is how sandals should be. Thank you!

I would imagine my failed pair (gradual outsole separation) was an outlier/anomaly since Bedrock sandals have a very solid reputation for durability, but I got a replacement pair that arrived days later, no questions asked. Big thanks!

Brief review roughly about 2 years later: The sandals could almost be considered to be "best in class" for what they're used for considering the specs (ie: 14mm stack height, strapping system). Luna & Shamma sandals do have a few pairs that are in the 14mm stack height range with use for hiking/trail running in mind but Bedrock's seem to have the most consistent good reviews for reliability of the strap system, which is quite easy to dial in.

= CON & THOUGHTS ON COMFORT: The sandals ARE most definitely comfortable, however I might have to give them a 4.5/5 for comfort during running activities. You'll definitely have to adjust to the sandal style and you WILL, with time. I once removed them during a short run and opted to run barefoot for comfort. This isn't exactly a fault of the sandal as I probably would've also done the same thing if I were wearing shoes at the time; sandals simply just makes it easier to chuck them off (shoes: unlace, remove socks, carry it all). I'd imagine that a well-ventilated/broken-in in shoe might be more comfortable to me at the current time, but the more I wear these and adjust to how they feel on my foot, the more I actually opt to put these on when I go anywhere, which is to say that I might be becoming a…

im slightly annoyed that there is a lesser option, ive owned multiple pairs of these sandals and ive always bought them in person in store and have never seen the velcro option. I live in a place now where i didnt have them readily available so I ordered mine this time online and to my surprise I did not order the "pro" pair so i have a velcro strap and its fine but its a bummer. for the money spent to this company i accidentally bought a lesser model ignorantly and needed to use them immediately for a trip, as im an industry guide ive learned my lesson and it cost me but my feet are happy to be in sandals and they are secure but the velcro is already curling and bothering me just slightly. Make sure if you want to hook strap rhat you are buying the "pro" pair.
