The Bedrock Sandals Syncline are the newest thing to protect your feet on the trail. These sandals are not a new product in the world of minimalist footwear, but the featured two piece toe-corded strap option is. The Syncline also feature a seamless feel lacing system. This sandal set a whole new standard in the ultralight footwear category.
Update: This exact version is no longer on the market.

Specs/Thoughts
- Weight: 9.32 oz for my size 10.5 foot.
- Protection: 8mm Vibram Sole
- Sole: Great traction on slippery rock and mud.
- Ground Feel: Even balance between hiding sharp objects & feeling the earth.
- Range of Motion: Maintains the natural movement of the foot.
- Adjustment: Minimal Buckle does a wonderful job of not having your fit slip out of place.
- Laces: This is where the Syncline sets itself apart. Seamless and very comfortable. Heal strap does not slip.
- Corded Toe-Strap: Soft and abrasive free.
- Fit: The minimal lace design does a great job of holding the foot in place in all try trail types and grades.

Conclusion
The Bedrock Sandals Syncline with Toe-Strap raise the bar in the world of minimalist footwear. I have never been excited about a new piece of gear in a long time. Attention to detail and quality of materials used; well thought out.
As a lightweight hiker you can use these as ultimate camp footwear; after a long day in hiking boots. Secondary footwear would be a great use as well; for those not interested in hiking minimally. How great would it be with blisters on your feet caused by trail shoes, to put on a feather-light and durable option?!
