Why We Like The Salomon Techamphibian 5 Water Shoe
Some of us are like frogs, jumping in and out of the water to pursue our outdoor passions. Salomon built the Techamphibian 5 Water Shoe for our amphibious lifestyle. The closed-toe design and substantial outsoles protect our feet on the trail and river bottom while the synthetic mesh keeps out debris and drains and dries quickly to keep us comfortable in and out of the water. We also like the Quicklace system, which makes it easy to slip in and out of our shoes while cinching up tight for a secure fit as we're hiking waterfalls, wading rivers with our fishing rod, and paddling our SUP or kayak.

Feels great looks great
As always solomon delivers , easy to put on and very comfortable. Once you adjust the straps you're good to go.

Could be great...
Good fit. Stay on in water. Disappointingly bad wet traction, rubber should be softer and stickier. Unfinished materials on the inside, rough edges and open seams are a concern for longer wear without socks. Overall a good shoe, but a missed opportunity for a great shoe.

Good looking sturdy water shoes
As much as I wanted to make it a five-star review given the looks and sturdiness of this shoes, flaws in the design/engineering of it made it a bad purchase decision. Two pairs, one male’s and the other a women’s version were bought and both caused chafing and blisters in the same area of the feet (In two different people). The problem is resolved in both cases with the use of thick socks, and although the shoes become very comfortable with wearing the socks, this defeats the purpose of a water shoes. It could have been the perfect water shoes for those looking for a very stylish and durable product , however the internal construction makes it hard pass.

Perfect for a summer hike!
Got these to use on a trip to SE Asia. They were perfect for the hikes and very quick drying. Easy to slip into with the heel down when needed, and also feels just like normal hiking Salomon with the heel up. It's sturdier than I expected and provides great support.

Great Shoes
I haven’t used these shoes extensively but they are comfortable and have good grip.

Great water shoe!
I bought it a month ago and am so happy that I did. The shoe itself is comfortable, with a great sole. Works great in the water, its main purpose. Only downside is that it is not for wide feet. I sized up by half and fits well. The lace stitch can compress the head of ur great toe. I had to stuff the shoe for a couple of days to stretch it. No complaints after a 10 mile hike in and out of water.

Nice premium water shoe
I bought the Techamphibians for my morning beach walk, which is three miles of beach and one mile of sidewalk. They are perfect for this purpose because the soles are supportive for walking on the sidewalks, and I can walk in the water without fear of hurricane debris. They work well with socks and perform similarly to walking in my SpeedCross trail runners. There is a useful adjustment strap on the side to adjust the fit depending on how tight you want them to fit.

Pretty Bad
I like so many things about this shoe but the execution includes a fit issue with the front of the shoe/toecap being way too tight - you'll notice this pattern of complaints across the lower star reviews, also. From the ball of the foot forward, the shoe isn't comfortable, and does not allow for enough movement. Trying them on for just a few minutes, I found my feet hurting. Kind of an ugly shoe when viewed from above, also, despite how good it looks from the side. Beyond that, the grip seems great and I believe it would dry quickly, to its' credit. I'd be excited to try this model again down the road with changes made. I'm suspicious of it's durability, but it's also so close to being a perfect portage shoe so know that I don't enjoy leaving this review.

Comfy and Airy
Had these for just over 3 weeks now. Bought them so as I can walk around in something without socks that would let air about my feet, instead of the usual flip flops whilst having something more practical for daily use. I was apprehensive at first as I was getting some rubbing on my wee toe at a seam, but stuck with them for a few days and as they have softened up, they have become nice and comfy. Very happy with them, Ive dropped it a star (would have been half a star but it wont let me) as id say they aren't as airy as i was hoping but still a lot more so than a normal trainer. Im usually a size 9.5 but went with a UK 10, as from experience of another pair of shoes find a half size up is better and feel the same with these..
