Only review I could find…and it’s good! A limitation as an approach shoe is socks. The toe strap messes with socks for switching with climbing shoes and socks.
I use these for wet wading while fly fishing, they are absolutely fantastic. If the waters cold you can use them with the yulex hybrid booties and wet suit bottoms. This is actually better than waders: cheaper, more durable, lighter. Best kept secret in backcountry fly fishing
Thanks for the review! This was super helpful for me trying to choose between the Evo C and Evo 3D. I’m mostly looking at an urban trip with lots of concrete, and also needed a shoe I could wear to the beach & kayaking. Seems like the Evo C will be the best choice for walking on lots of concrete.
I just got them and they are great but the size is a whole size difference. I have the Carin Geo in a 7 but in the Carin evo C I got a size 6 and they are still a little big. But I do like the cushion. The Carin Geo have no Cushion and hurt my feet really bad. They no longer make the Carin Geo. I hear they will resole them if you email them because of the warranty?
Does the softer footbed still offer enough protection from stepping on sharp rocks and debris when hiking? I have the older Cairn Evos and they really are harsh but they are stiff enough to give some foot protection from rocks.
The softer footbed definitely offers a good amount of protection against rocks, I think because they changed the outsole from Vibram Megagrip (softer rubber) to Vibram Trek (harder rubber) the outsole is now the main source of rock protection instead of the footbed.

Great review. I appreciate the detail and sincerity. I’ve been deciding between the Evo 3D and the Evo C. Leaning towards the C

If there’s any concrete involved the Evo C is definitely the better option, and I’m glad the video was helpful!
Is the cushioning softer than other bedrocks, or is there just “more” of the same cushioning that they use on the other lines?
It's wayyyyyy softer than other bedrocks, and it's a totally different cushioning than previous sandals, definitely more plush and springy
