After wrapping up a weekend of guiding rock climbing in Joshua Tree this spring,<\/strong> my coworker and I had some personal time to explore the National Park. We decided to try to find a little-known cave system called the Mojave Wunderground. The hike to the Wunderground is almost entirely off-trail; we scrambled over boulders, trudged through wet sand, and smeared our way up long granite slabs for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

Approach shoes would have been the obvious footwear choice for the adventure. With sticky rubber similar to climbing shoes, they perform well in uneven, rocky terrain. But after squeezing my toes into tight shoes all weekend while guiding, my feet were begging for a break. <\/p>\n

I hesitantly strapped on my new Bedrock Cairn Evo C Sandals<\/a><\/strong>, unsure if they were up to the task. To my surprise, the sandals clung to the granite slabs and stayed secure while boulder hopping. And the best part? My sore feet stayed comfy the whole time.<\/p>\n

In short: <\/strong>For the adventurous scrambler looking to free their toes, the Cairn Evo C Sandals are a highly capable, comfortable choice. They\u2019re built with a thicker, softer footbed than the original Cairn Evos, but they retain the performance of the Vibram XS Trek EVO outsole. I was impressed with how well the rubber stuck to the granite, and I loved the extra cushion. <\/p>\n

As a climbing professional, no sandal could completely replace an approach shoe, but I was pleasantly surprised with how well the Cairn Evo C sandals performed during many personal adventurous days exploring the desert.
