From hiking boots and running shoes to trail-ready sandals, I’ve tested many shoes in my years as a journalist writing product reviews, but few have stood out as much as the Bedrock Mountain Clogs. These ugly-cute shoes took the internet by storm when they launched in 2023 and have been cult favorites within the outdoor gear industry ever since.

I got a pair in early 2023 (and another pair in 2024), and for the past three years, I’ve worn them nearly every single day. They are comfortable, can be dressed up or down and are truly some of the most versatile shoes I’ve ever worn. They’re just nice enough to wear to a casual restaurant or a bar, but they’re beefy enough to handle all but the gnarliest trails. Plus, their open design means they can be thrown on in seconds for quick dog walks. To top it all off, Bedrock has an excellent lifetime warranty and repair program, making the Bedrock Mountain Clogs a pair of shoes you can truly wear for years. Here’s why these are some of the best shoes I’ve ever tested.

The best trail-to-town shoes I’ve ever tried, the Mountain Clogs from Bedrock Sandals can be worn basically anywhere. Their style, versatility and durability, plus the brand’s repair program, make them my favorite shoes of all time.
