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.

Here's what customers have to say
The water shoe is versatile and comfortable, providing good traction, drainage, and support for wet activities like hiking and kayaking. However, some users experienced issues with the fit, including a narrow toe box and heel area that caused discomfort and blisters. While the shoe generally performs well, the quality and construction may not be as high as previous models in the same product line.

Water shoes are great
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- 12
The shoes not only look good, but they perform perfectly in the pool. The shoes shed water easily and dry very quickly. The shoes are true to size. My husband wears a narrow, but it’s almost impossible to find ANY shoes in narrow. He did have to tighten up the back strap and firm up the shoestrings. He was very pleased with my purchase, and he is fussy when it comes to his shoes. Buy now!!!

Comfortable at first
Initially these are quite comfortable but the more I walk in them the more painful they get as my feet are a little wide around the toe area, so my little toes rub against the inside edge of the shoe and the skin gets rubbed off. I have tried to use shoe wideners to expand that area of the shoe, but it’s not worked. Shame as I rally like them.

WOW! Great Shoe!
This is one of the better shoes for all around use. I travel quite a bit both domestically and internationally and this are great shoes for walking around town and on the beach. Lightweight, ease to pack and multi use. Highly recommended!

Great fit and grip
I use these in a river that gets pretty slimy rocks at times, rocks that I have to traverse to get into and out of my jonboat. I've had many others over the years and these have proven to be the best yet

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!

Sadly disappointed
I had high hopes for these especially at with this price point. But, They rub on the smal toe and knuckle especially when wet, also lets small stones through the side webbing which tear through your feet and they have quite a hard sole. Also the strap at the rear is annoyingly flappy and the quick laces cut into you when fully tightened and release is difficult one a little grit gets into them.

Nice shoe
I bought this shoe because I was going on Vacation and look interesting and thought it had utility for excursions. Much to nice to walk through the mud. Nice with shorts or joggers for comfortable relaxed looked.

My dad loves this!
After my satisfaction on this pair of shoes, I bought one more of this for my dad. He also really loves this. He says it's good for both daily life and activities. Both comfortable and stable. Kinda very versatile.

So far so good
I’ve had a pair of the TECHAMPHIBIAN 4 which I took to Mexico for a kayak trip.. they are all I wore for 10 days, and they were great. When I got home I rinsed them well and started using them at my work out shoe for a rowing machine - 500 days and 2 million meters later they are still comfortable and supportive. So when I needed a vented shoe for trip to Japan I decided TECHAMPHIBIAN 5 was it.
