@MathDebater posted about the bedrocks last year in this thread and I ended up getting a pair. Love em. I got the more expensive, thicker ones . Perfect for baja cactus thorns and oregon river boulder hopping. Might try the thinner version at some point. When in doubt, size up.

You can thank me in 3 years when they are still almost good as new and you would have burned through 6 pairs of flip flops.

Too much literage or too much corky epoxy?

(My phone really didn't like me typing literage, haha)
I was climbing into a panga in Nica. Rocks all over the place, at that moment I realized I F$&k ed up. Here at home oyster beds all over the place. Hard to walk in deep water with them. If the float liters are too high. Glass slippers we all know how they work.

I don’t know about the best but Flojos are some of the worst.

From less than 1/4 mile walk with semi-wet feet. Not pleased.

SBD's chaco report:

About two weeks in on these puppies and so far so good. They run small so I had to exchange for a bigger size. I'd size up two liters if you're considering a pair.

Comfort: 8 out of 10. Firm deck with good support but not a super aggressive arch. Leather feels really good on the dogs and surprisingly not slippery when wet. Pressures wearing in nicely.

Straps: Good width and thickness. Not too much air drag, doesn't bog on left or right turns. Snug but not too snug. I cut this annoying tag they had on the inside and now I don't notice. Reminded me of oeste's leash strings.

Sole: kind of a weird one way pattern but they're pretty sticky. My Olukai's got slicker than snot. Glad I get to ride this with the sole that was made for the flip.

Weight: Medium. I'd say like a pu/pe build but not too heavy. Should last a long time with this glue schedule.

Pics after a nice run to the barber, chiropractor, and Sprouts.

6/7 would bang again:

The dog that we’re fostering chewed on the back end of my daily driver Rainbows the other day, so I took it upon myself to yolo a freshie pair. Off the rack from my local shop, no custom wait time.
