Customer Reviews Salomon Amphib Bold 2

I bought these for a 1 week canoe trip thru Quetico Provincial Park. The first couple days the shoes were excellent, then I noticed significant wear and tear on the mesh on forefoot area. By the end of the trip the tears were significant. For the price they should be more durable and be able to withstand the rigor of a single canoe trip... very disappointed overall.

Comfortable and stylish, but not durable A very comfortable and great looking shoe for wearing around town, but it has a short life span in terms of durability. I wore them for just about four months and did two short hikes after which the left shoe mesh frayed in several zones and ruptured. They should be made out something more durable, like Aramid/Kevlar. Moreover, the white midsole easily absorbs filth and is hard to clean and down-right impossible to clean thoroughly and restore its original bright white.

I'm very happy of this purchase the shoes fit very well Very good quality like the other Salomon product

I am happy to get this deal. This pair of shoes are very cooling.

This will be my second pair of these shoes, so I can't wait to receive them.....and even better that they were on sale!

Genious shoes for 20-40km walks during the summer. Used both in italy and spain and DK. This is by the way the 2nd pair of this model and they are very durable.

Bought them before going to Rhodes and I'm more than happy. Easy to dry, very comfy. Couple of minuses, a little bit tight but still ok shoe size a little bit confusing-normally wearing size 8 but with this I needed size 9

I love this shoe. Great for the beach, kayaking or playing around in the sprinkler with the family.

Never had water shoes before, but was going to Croatia for 2 weeks and wanted to try some out. Most people were struggling on the rocks and I was running around. Great grip in and out of the water. Felt great in the ocean too! They float which is nice because it is easier to float and hard to lose them. I am prone to blisters and thought I would definitely get blisters with these, couldn't believe that I didn't! Would swim in the morning with them, walk around all day with them still wet and be fine. My size fit great, very snug bug comfortable. I do have high arches so the lack of support left my feet a bit sore at the end of the day. But what do you expect, they're water shoes!

This is my sixth pair of Salomon shoes and it did not disappoint! All my others are trail hikers and I was looking for something a lot more flexible to use while working out. The AMPHIB BOLD 2 totally hit the mark. It's light, flexible comfortable, and supportive.

I received my show a month ago and I wear everyday. Great for casual wear but also at the gym! Easy in and out with collapsible heal! The best!

I BOUGHT THESE FOR TRIPS TO MEXICO AND THEY ARE PERFECT FOR POOL SIDE - FOR GOING TO THE BEACH - OR JUST WEARING AROUND TOWN. SUPER PUMPED ABOUT THESE SHOES.

I purchased these specifically to carry as my only footwear for a two week trip to Costa Rica. These were perfect! Super light, great grip, quick drying, and very comfortable with or without socks.

Love the speed lacing on these. Just yank and tuck. The lace pull has a little "bullet" on the top. Quickly tuck the bullet into the elastic loop near the toe and you're ready to go. Super lightweight and so breathable. Love the blue green color. It's the same color as the ocean near the big island in Hawaii.

I've worn these shoes for a few weeks now and I don't wear other shoes anymore. The nearly see through mesh design lets you feel air pass through better than any other shoes. I bike to work and my feet stay cool in FL weather. Pair these with some black banana republic city pants and Some ray bans and easily blend in from the board room to the beach. I wouldn't utilize the collapsible heal feature like the TA 4, you'll probably just pull them from the sole quicker or damage them and it's not as comfortable.

Hold good in water and beach so far. Light weight.

I love these, a shame the express delivery was so slow they didn't get to me before I went - never mind, I'll use them next year

The shoes are in the proper size and they are really becoming for my feet, especially on a beach~

A comfortable lightweight water-sport shoe I intend to use for competitive sailing.

A good summer water shoe, my purpose is competitive sailing. Not quite the same fit as the dozens of other Salomon's I've owned and been happy with but time will tell.

Just finished a 4 day canoe trip in using these as my wet shoes. They were perfect. Good grip on the rocks while portaging or lining the boat, dried quick and were just comfortable.

I recently purchased the Amphib Bold 2 for paddle boarding. Immediately on unboxing you can feel how light the shoe is. It's very soft and flexible sole. Two good points. Very comfy along with neoprene socks. I removed shoe insole for less volume room due to neoprene socks. Worked well. Two issues. The lace system isn't ideal. The toggle doesn't reach the elastic band to hold down the quick lace as it's very flimsy. I had to tuck lace underneath to hold as entire show defigures. Not a fan of the quick lace on this shoe. Secondly, the heel offers little to no support. It's flimsy. Comfortable but very soft due to the folding capabilities enabling a wearer to slip on the shoe as a moc. I did this too and it was quite handy during changing etc. For paddle boarding the grip on these shoes is excellent against the deck pads. Too grippy in fact. I also found the shoes drained well and didn't clog up with sand too easily also so for a water shoe it was ideal. Didn't feel anything walking on rough ground which was great. Overall. I'm impressed on first wear. If Salomon could improve the lacing and heel, it'll be perfect for SUP, Kayaking and Sailing etc.

Nice shoe which rellay fits the foot. Lightweight and good grip.

I purchased these for the summer season to be worn primarily without socks. first time on was an ordeal because the neoprene /lycra tongue was impossible to get on my feet. these have eventually loosened. The soles do not work well on slippery hiking surfaces but do work ok in water. All that being said I wear them every day working around boats
