Customer Reviews Salomon Techamphibian 3

I chose this shoe for boat/lake use much more than extended walks or hiking purposes. Overall they serve my purpose well; being very light and every bit as cool as sandals with much less coverage and protection. They have excellent grip on slippery boat ramps/docks and they dry pretty quickly. Having said that I rate them at four stars due to running at least a half size large (for me). They also have a slight issue at the base of the heel just not being as comfortable as they should. If I did hike in them, this would surely be a larger issue. Lastly (and this is just a personal preference) when I am wearing them I cannot help but wish the colors were muted as they are just too bright for my taste. I have worn Salomon boots for work and play for many years. The quality, fit and finish I have come to expect from the brand are not lost on these shoes.

I have had these for about a month now. I have worn these on day trips and extended camping trips. They drain quickly and are reasonably comfortable. I would add a pair of light socks for extended walking to prevent blisters. I find they are a little difficult to get into at the heel, but they do offer a snug comfortable fit.

I took these trekking through a jungle in Thailand and on some beaches there as well. All around very good shoe! One improvement they could add is fast dry time. They did take a day or more to dry. But they were well designed and had good grip on most surfaces. There were some slippery rocks, but most anything wouldn't have gotten traction on them. If you ware wearing them for an extended period try to wear socks. I didn't like "sandal" mode all that much. All in all great water shoes that gets the job done.
