I’m sure someone’s thought of a better line than “once you go Bedrock you never go back” but that’s honestly all you really need to know. For bikepacking, bike touring, any kind of 99% outside sort of life it just makes sense to become a sandals person. Letting your feet BREATHE while riding feels OH so good and never having to wash socks is a huuuge added bonus. I put 32,000 miles (51,000km) into this pair before swapping to a fresh set when I got new pedals, but I’m sure they woulda kept going for another year or two nooo problem.
