What is Bedrock Sandals?

Bedrock Sandals is an outdoor footwear company from the United States, headquartered in Missoula, Montana. It designs minimalist adventure sandals for hiking, running and travel.

History

Founders Nick and Dan started the business in 2011 with a Kickstarter campaign and handmade the first sandals in a cabin in Northern California. The workshop later moved to a garage in Virginia in 2012 and to a warehouse in Oakland, California in 2014, before the company announced its move to Missoula in 2019. Growth accelerated from 2017, both online and in specialty retail across the US.

Products and positioning

  • Cairn sandals: the flagship line, launched in 2016 with different cushioning levels, overhauled as the Evo range in 2024
  • Pro II: a more technical sandal introduced in 2020
  • Mountain Clogs: a closed-toe clog built on the Cairn strap system, launched in 2023
  • Rockhound: an adjustable flip-flop introduced in 2026

The range also includes apparel and split-toe socks made with Injinji. The Re-Soul Program lets owners have worn soles replaced, supported by a warranty and care guidance.

Why it matters

Bedrock builds repairability into its product promise, an approach that ties durability to customer loyalty, and it donates through 1% for the Planet.
