This is my third pair of Techamphibians and these shoes last a long time, it's just that my feet have grown and I wanted another pair. This is my first review for these and I felt compelled to write because the light grass color is much brighter than it appears in the photo and I really don't think it's my computer. I don't really care for 2009 color and this green is so bright that I'm not sure whether I'll keep them yet but as I've said I this would be my third pair. They are so comfortable and I love wearing them, just wish I could wear them in colder weather too.

Best Looking Shoe At the Zoo -
I had an old pair of Salomon Amphibians from two summers ago that I loved but had to finally toss as they were worn out (not the sole but the canvas). So I got these thinking that I probably wouldn't like them as much. Thankfully I do like them as much and more. They're even better looking and have more support. They're perfect for light hiking, walking, jogging, camping, and biking. I couldn't ask a pair of shoes to do more. And thankfully they look good. I took my kids to the zoo today and kept my eyes out for the best pair of comfortable yet good-looking pair of shoes and while I'm biased, I didn’t see anyone sporting a better looking pair of shoes.

First to the fit - some reviewers say these run large. So, I purchased an 8 1/2 and 9 to try. I normally wear a 9. My foot fit in the 8 1/2, but my toes rubbed on the mesh (toe box too small). For the 9, I had a thumb’s width between the end of my big toe and the end of the shoe - the way it should be - and that was barefoot. So, I’d say they run true to size. They are lightweight and great looking shoes. Can’t wait to wear them on the rocky beaches of Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

Worked great!
Used these shoes when we climbed Dunns River Falls in Jamaica. They were great except for pebbles getting in and staying. Couldn't have asked for a much better pair of shoes. Later that day I had put my sandals on and was carrying my Techamphibians and locals kept coming up and asking to buy them from me!

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.

Good Design -
I got the sand/cane/cappuccino - love the color and the waterproof non-leather construction. I usually wear a 7 and the 7 is at least a full size too large. Out of 6s for now, but will try again if the 6 becomes available. They seem pretty comfy except the long tongue sticks into the front of my ankle; hopefully that will go away with a smaller size. They have a removable insole. I need shoes like this for a Costa Rica biking, hiking, kayaking, and snorkeling trip.

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.

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!

Runs Big!!!
I usually wear a 6 in pretty much any shoe I buy. I just ordered this shoe in a 5.5 and 6 after reading some reviews that said the shoe runs large. After trying both sizes, the 5.5 was still a half size too big! Really cute shoe! Very bummed; will be sending back both pair since the smallest size offered is a 5.5.

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.

Great for pool therapy, pool exercise -
I purchased these shoes (advertised for water use) to use while undergoing physical therapy in an indoor pool. They work very well for that purpose. It would be better if they had an arch support. They are rather flat in that area. Everything else about them is great. I tried them while boating on the lake. Sand entered the mesh sides very readily, making it unpleasant. I would use them in the pool only. They would make good gardening shoes unless you plan to be in loose sand or dirt.

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.

Some Issues -
Most people love this shoe. It is not my favorite. I was looking for a shoe I could wear without socks, these seemed made just for that. Maybe my feet are too sensitive, but I found them very scratchy without socks. I also purchased them because you can tighten the back strap, but the strap loosens very quickly, so that didn't work out. The sole look like they would have a good grip on wet floors, but they don't. I have other Salomon shoes, and I love them. These were not right for me. Zappos is fantastic, and would have taken them back, but I wore them to the beach.

Great shoes, not perfect.
These are great all-purpose shoes. I wanted a shoe to wear on my adventure vacation in Belize. I wore them hiking, jogging, snorkeling, river tubing and climbing Mayan ruins. They are most comfortable with socks. Without socks, I get blister on my heels. Be sure to wear these in before you use them - If I hadn't my feet would not have been in good shape. They are true to shoe size, not sneaker size. I am a true 7.5 and they fit me perfect. They dried really fast and I could wear them everyday without them being damp. They seem to be slip-resistant as I never slipped while hiking over wet rocks. I also like that you can step on the heel and wear them like sandals. I bought the cerulean blue color and they are beautiful! Overall, a great multi-purpose shoe if you want to pack light.

Lacking Functionality -
The tightening devices for both the top of the shoe and the heel does not work. I was so excited after I first put these shoes on because I was able to get a perfect fit and they were major comfortable. Then I proceeded to walk about five steps and that was all it took to find out how well these shoes would work. The heel loosened up so much that the rest of my foot sloshed from side to side within the shoe and I almost fell down. The shoe was tight enough to not fall off my foot, but so loose that I tripped on the shoe itself-I did not trip on my other foot or on something hiding on the floor-but the friggin' shoe itself!!! I was highly disappointed.

Looks great but...
This shoe looks great but it has a couple of problems. The heel straps don't stay tight. I keep having to stop walking and kick my heel up to pull the strap tight again and again. Also the front outside stitching digs into my little toe, it hurts a lot after awhile, and it's only on the right shoe that this happens. I can say that Zappos sets the standard for online ordering. I ordered this shoe on Sunday I got them on Tuesday, they where the wrong size. They sent the next size up and I had them the next day!! I had two weeks to return the other pair. I LOVE ZAPPOS!!!

NOT non-skid, but feel good on -
Found out the hard way by slipping on deck of a 34-foot yacht that the outsole - as tough looking as it is - is not non-skid. So don't buy for sailing. Otherwise, they are fine.

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!!

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.

 |  | Your guys are the best! The shipment is faster than what I expected. My shoe was waiting for me in front of my door when I finished my work this afternoon. The shoe? I love it! Sexy yet comfortable enough to wear the whole night. I am going to wear it tonight. You know what? You guys rock! I feel very satisfied about my shopping experience with you. Three pairs of shoes and one jacket, that is what I bought from you within these few weeks. I am a frequent online shopper and enjoy shopping online. So far the experience with you guys is the best. I used to like to shopping at another online site, but because of their bad service, I stopped dealing with them. On the other hand, I will stick with you, and tell everybody I know about your company! You did a good job, keep it UP! Teresa Y. |  | ~ Teresa Y., October 05 2009
