        Comments about Salomon Techamphibian 2 Water Shoes - Women's:

        I took these on a whitewater rafting/kayaking trip down the Payette in Idaho, and they were awesome. I wore them in the river, jumping around on rocks, hiking, even went on a short run. They were perfect. I was looking for something a bit more than sandals so that I could wear them trail running, and I chose perfectly. :)

          Comments about Salomon Techamphibian 2 Water Shoes - Women's:

          Ordered my 3rd pair today from REI, in appx 4 years. Still wear my original pair to shallow water aerobics class once a week; I rotate usage between my two pairs, with each class. Have worn the orig pair from 2-4 times a week to these classes for 3 years straight, until I bought 2nd pair in 2008. The pulls, tongues, and ankle straps on the old pair work OK- not perfect anymore, but still very suitable for a heavy workout. I remove the foot liners and wear anklet socks and orthotics in the shoes during the class. And I normally wash the shoes by hand when I get home from class - to wash out the chlorine. 4 years on one pair of workout shoes? Now that's real value for the money.

          Comments about Salomon Techamphibian 2 Water Shoes - Women's:

          I go canoeing and fishing quite often on a river near my house! These work great for use in the river and by the river, they also work great for the hike there! I love these shoes since they are so versatile! They are very comfortable to kneel on while sitting in the canoe, something that I was definitely looking for in a water shoe! I would recommend these to anyone looking for great water shoes who don't mind spending a little money. Def worth the price!

            Comments about Salomon Techamphibian 2 Water Shoes - Women's:

            I wore these shoes in the Zion Narrows and the Zion Subway. Pebbles got caught in the a lot and I had to stop and take them off often to get them out. The ribs between the webbing rubbed my feet raw and I have several scabs from them. I will be returning these shoes.
