Excellent Summer Shoes!
I picked up a pair of "water shoes" this summer that I hesitated to purchase in its previous handful of versions. I bought the Saloman Tech Amphibian 5 in a men's 11.5, a half size smaller than my normal size, based on the sizing details and exchanged them for an even smaller 11 after trying them on, with and without socks. They exceeded my expectations in the areas of water entry/exit, foot protection and surface grip. My reason for acquiring them was to use them for crossing streams in the backcountry, but this summer I have found them to be so utilitarian during camping, hiking and everyday life. They are so lightweight and quick to slip on/off that they stayed just outside of the tent within an arm's reach. I recently wore them on a warm, afternoon hike on a local trail known for being rocky and slippery. I loved feeling the breeze flow through the mesh during the hottest section of woods. I was shocked at how stable they felt under foot and I was able to step confidently in otherwise treacherous conditions. I want to remind the readers that they are mesh, water shoes and of course their stability shouldn't be compared to hiking boots or technical, trail running gear. In general, if you're looking for an adventurous shoe that can be useful for a wide range of wet and dry activities, I'd highly recommend that you purchase them and I suggest that you get a full size smaller than the norm, since they are easily loosened at the heel.
Great water shoes for dry and wet hiking trails
I bought these shows for a backpacking trip in Havasupai Falls (AZ). Loved the shoes, they were perfect for crossing the streams and hiking on soft trails. I wear size 8 and they fit fine. I like the construction of the shoes - collapsible heal proved to be a great feature, no need to carry extra slipper for the campsite. Overall great product.
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.
Disappointed
I am a loyal fan of Salomon Shoes. Have owned maybe 6-7 pair over the years although not a single pair has lasted very long- they usually tear out in the heels for me after about 6 months. I bought these as water/quick dry shoes for a trip to Galápagos Islands and the mesh split after the third wear while I was breaking them in (mostly indoors). I would return, but leaving on trip in a few days and don’t have time to return/exchange so i guess I’m stuck with them. The sole is hard rubber, so traction isn’t great. I was hoping to like these, but disappointed.
Great Look, Multi Purpose, but Size is tricky
Bought this item two months ago. My usual size didn’t work for me in this shoe—it put too much pressure on my toes and forefoot. I ended up returning it (super smooth return process!) and got a half size bigger. The new size still isn’t a perfect fit in the forefoot area, so I have to tighten the laces a bit to keep it from feeling loose. But overall, it works for me. I picked this shoe mainly because it’s breathable, and I plan to wear it at work or while driving. I also like that the back folds down—it makes it even better for casual use. The forefoot isn't as soft as I expected, but it hasn’t caused any issues so far. Plus, I really like how it looks!
Near Greatness, But a Few Fixes Needed
I had a pair of the 2nd gen TechAmpibians, and now a pair of these. Both have similar issies. First, these shoes look great, and are comfy as an everyday NONwater shoe worn with socks. However, these shoes HAVE to be broken in due to stiffness out of the box and they are tough to wear without socks, as there are several rub points that produce blisters. The other slight design flaw is for those like me that truly wear these for river sport (paddling, water treking, etc.). The small spandex/neoprene band on the sides of the heel that attach the back of the shoe with the sides is cut too low, allowing loose debris to enter the shoe more easily, thus making frequent stops a thing to get said debris out.
Pretty darn good shoes!
About these a month ago and have been wearing them around the house. The intentions are for using the shoe in the water when we go to Costa Rica, but I'm thinking these might be the perfect shoe for walking around Costa Rica because they're so darn comfortable. I'm definitely impressed so far!
Great fit
First time seeing the brand and decided to take a chance, after wearing the first time feet felt like I never wore shoes, would love to see more variation of colors can’t wait to purchase again
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..
A great alternative to sandals
I've had several Tech Amphib shoes and these continue to be one of my favorite shoes. They're a great alternative to sandals, allowing me to wear short socks. They're very airy and fairly supportive, a bit better than sandals but a bit less than sport shoes. My only criticism is with the heel adjustment strap. There's no accommodation for storing the excess so it sticks out. Besides being unsightly, it's potentially a problem should it snag on something. Currently, I merely tuck the excess under the used strap but there should be a more elegant solution.
