Customer Reviews Salomon Techamphibian

Fabulous shoe! I love this shoe. I wear it both hiking in the woods on uneven trails and walking on streets. It's infinitely adjustable, easy on and off, and extremely lightweight. My foot is stable and doesn't slide around and my arch is well-supported. The mesh makes the shoe cooling to the foot. This is one of the best walking/hiking shoes I've ever owned.

Great everyday casual shoe - I got these in a dusty purple color and really love the way they look and feel. I have a narrow medium foot and these shoes are one of the few that don't look clubby on my size 11 foot. The heel cinch is great for keeping it fit to my heel. It has to be retightened once in a while, but totally worth it. The nylon mesh keeps my feet aerated in summer months, but not practical for cooler months. I wouldn't recommend going without socks unless you have pretty tough feet. The mesh catches on my little toe nails with really thin socks, but is fine with thicker socks. I like the way my foot feels pretty free and agile in this shoe and the purple color is super.

This boot is really nice looking and the leather is very soft. The only reason I am returning it is the leather of the shaft is so soft, it feels like it would end up collapsing down around your ankle. In the pictures it looks like the shaft has a little more stability. I just didn't want to take a chance with these.

Will buy more! I'm in love with these sneakers! I bought the light blue ones around 2 years ago, and they're still in fantastic condition! They felt tight at first, but somehow after time they felt just right! They're very sporty-looking, and I love the color variety! Great sneakers!

Love the shoe and customer service! I found out about Zappos from a lady in my water aerobics class. I put off ordering shoes for about 3-4 weeks and I'm sorry I did! I ordered my shoes on a Wednesday and they came the following Monday. I wore the shoes to class the next night - Tuesday - and was so glad I finally ordered them. They are comfortable and have a good grip. No more slipping in the pool. I had a $4.99 pair of water shoes and after only 3 months, they were falling apart, plus I slipped in the pool. The Salomon Techamphibians are wonderful for water aerobics and I'm seriously thinking about buying several more pairs (different colors) for work. I do a lot of walking and these are very comfortable with or without socks and have very good support. I wear a size 8-9, depending on the style. With the Salomon Techamphibian, I wear an 8 1/2 very comfortably. Thank Zappos!

Great shoes - These are the second pair of Techampibians that I have owned. I love them! They just need to be tightened once or twice a day.

These shoes are great! I highly recommend. They just traveled with me to Mexico and performed well – from rocky coastline to Mayan ruins and snorkeling, along with a tropical storm thrown in. These shoes did not let me down. I bought my regular size and they were fine. I wore with both low-cut socks and barefoot. At first I found them slightly scratchy and uncomfortable without the socks, but once broken in, they were fine. I did not have the problem some others mentioned regarding the ankle strap loosening. The shoe stayed snug and comfortable pretty much all day for me. They also dried out quickly...I took out the inserts and let them dry separately, and the shoes dried overnight. The only exception was during the tropical storm when it was just too damp out for anything to dry. They are not clunky and clown-like as many of these types of shoes are and I liked the look. A few things to note: 1. Not much arch support. 2. They do not keep out sand...but do keep out most everything else. My husband complained bitterly about his Tevas, but I just kept loving my Salomons.

My favorite "sneaker" - from a non-sneaker fan - Bought a pair back in 2003 and was dreading when I'd need a new pair, as I never seem to have luck finding the same style and model when it comes to sneakers - but here they are at Zappos! I wear these to the gym; they go into the ocean with me, especially when there's more shell shards than sand. They dry quickly. They are incredibly lightweight and I have no problem wearing them without socks. I have very high arches and normally wear a 7.5, bu they only had a 7, however it turns out, that with the ankle strap, the speed laces and mesh sides, a 7 was the way to go. The arch support isn't bad either, as I don't get that strained or tight feeling in my arches that I've often gotten with other sneaker/hiking footwear. I tend to pronate in most sneakers, but always feel very secure in these. I highly recommend them overall for something that will take a pounding on city streets, beaches and hiking paths!

Nice - I have them on right now. I am going to give the dog a bath so need some water shoes. These are very comfy. I usually use orthotics but seem to be ok with these without. I got them for vacation and ordered a size bigger to fit my orthotics. They are a bit big without them in, but still ok for short times of wear. I am very happy with them and they are cute, a soft pink, not too bright.

A great shoe. Just wore them hiking and cave-tubing in Belize and got them soaking wet, but they were dry and comfortable two days later to wear as my "comfy shoes" in the airport. The insoles are attached with velcro and slip right out for more thorough drying. I'd buy another pair (and probably will).

Great shoe! Great fit! Had little to no trouble getting used to the shoe. It is light and airy, and will be great for summer hiking and being near water or wet grass. They dry quickly on your feet. I've had plantar fasciitis, so I am fussy about the support. The shoes are great!!

Salomon Techamphibian - This is a great shoe for people with hot feet - it has super ventilation. Even if you don't plan to exploit its amphibious nature it is a great everyday sneaker. Very durable.

Love it. This was my second pair of Techamphibian’s. They're comfy, cool, and have great traction. Perfect for camping, light hiking, and in the water. My only complaint about this shoe is that the back strap doesn't stay tight, but it's not a big problem.

Awesomest shoes yet!! These shoes are the best! I’ve been wearing them to work (hospital) for no less than 14 hours and they never let me down. Not a single rub on my feet from day one and never wore socks all those hours. Imagine when I actually wear them on trail runs and water rafting?!!! Hate socks in the winter time so I will be wearing these throughout the year...

Comfort and style - I am enjoying my 2nd pair of Salomon Techamphibian. My first pair was given to me by my son who is an Interperative Ranger at a state park in the mountains of North Georgia. I used them to hike in the mountains of Mexico to see the Monarch butterflies overwintering. My new pair I use on the job as a 7th grade Life Science teacher. I am on my feet all day. These shoes are very comfortable and have great support.

New to Zappos and Salomon Tech - I recently had an invasive foot surgery (bone graph) and screws etc. and a friend told me about your website and shoes. I was first impressed with the customer service and expediant delivery. I was headed to the beach and was quite pleased with the support and easy dry and comfort of this shoe. I am not able to wear my orthodics yet (pronation) but will look at this at a later time. I was not able to wear a tight shoe, so the fact I could slip in and out of this shoe with ease was appreciated. I was also not sure to get a 9 1/2 or 10 because all my shoes are one or the other depending on brand. I went with the smaller size and the fit was perfect. I will definately look for my next pair here. tammy

Amazing!!! This shoe is amazing! I haven't yet tried it out, but I already love it! It looks great! I have the pink and grey pair. They look really realistic in the pic, but even better in person. I recommend this buy!

Choose these water shoes! I am so glad I bought these water shoes! I have very bad feet and wear orthotics. My foot doctor said I could not use them in the water shoes since they would get ruined. I had no choice but to do without and wow, I was pretty much fine. I climbed Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica. The climb to the top of the falls, challenging to say the lease. These shoes had great traction and the sizing was good as well. Sometimes, the laces that meet at the top became lose so I had to pull them together a few times, still, if you are looking for good support, traction and durability, choose these water shoes! I even called my foot doctor and told him about this item.

This shoe is everything it promises - My fiancée and I are going tubing through a rainforest, and needed more than simple "water shoes", but you wouldn't believe how long we searched for something that would dry easily, be comfortable for every day and we could do minor hiking in. I found my size, but then he couldn't and vice versa, and we went to six stores for these shoes. Zappos.com made it a LOT easier and a lot less stressful. And, these are the perfect airport/ traveling shoes. They are mesh, so your feet breathe, and you can wear them with socks - they slip off and on easily (just tighten the laces when you put them back on and away you go). I love them. Thinking of getting them in another color combo!

Salomon Techamphibian - Great shoe. Performed well and very comfortable. I have some foot issues and finding a shoe for hiking in Ecuador and Peru was a challenge. This shoe can be worn w/w/o socks.

I use these shoes at the gym and they rock. There are no laces just a pull string and that makes them super easy and fast to put on, and my feet don't sweat. I wouldn't mind another pair for this summer.

Wicked awesome shoe - I just got in these shoes and they are awesome. I wear a size 12 so I was happy to see that I could order a shoe in that size, and not to mention they fit great. They are very comfortable and I can't wait to wear them on vacation in a couple of months. Salomon makes such a great shoe. Thanks so much.

Another rave review - Love this shoe. Bought them for a beach vacation last year and have worn them ever since. Comfortable, light, versatile (love the slide- great at the airport) I'm not even close to wearing them out and I've "wish listed" another pair. It's nearly winter and I've been wearing them with heavy socks. I have to climb around on scaffolding at work and these shoes have such good traction and are so lightweight and agile that I can't imagine wearing anything else. Many people comment on them and I send them to Zappos - the only place to buy shoes.

The Perfect Vacation Shoe - Love these shoes, they’re perfect for the beach, ideal for the more active holidays involving hiking, swimming, canoeing, etc (especially if you are going straight from one activity to another). Exactly as advertised, water drains instantly from the shoe and after a couple hours in the sun, are completely dry again. Not as ideal for running, but if you want an all purpose "activity" shoe for beach vacations, these have been just fine for short runs or the treadmill. Three friends of mine have already purchased their own after seeing and coveting mine.

Perfect! I bought these to wear as a walking shoe for the hot Alabama summers. So comfortable, lightweight and airy. For sizing: I have high insteps and wear 7 1/2 M, sometimes 7 ...needed the 7 in these, even with a sock. Nice arch support.
