Techamphibian 5 Water Shoe - Men's

Good overall shoes

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

10.5

I persally liked the old style but the new version looks nice as well, I have several shoes so I never use one pair too much ..as people say , the material has to rest too….

Poor Material Choice

Like most everything about the Techamphibian 5 except the sole material. It is a hard(er) black rubber that is very slick on smooth surfaces. Super important to me as I use them mostly for scrambling on the beach. My Chacos, and the Tevas before them, are both better. Running shoes are better. Not asking for climbing rubber, but there are better choices. Will probably have to ditch these before I crack my head on a wet rock.

very functional

love them for how you can take them into the water and when you get out they flush out very nice. very sporty look, good for all outdoor activities. had a another pair few years back and I lost them on one of my trips. finally ordered another pair had to wait awhile for them to be back in stock. there was another style also that looked good but don't see them anymore either maybe they will bring them back too looked nice also

So far, so good!

I just bought the TECHAMPHIBIAN 5 and only have been able to take them on a couple of light hikes while on our Hawaiian Vacation and so far, they are preforming as advertised. They are comfortable and the back heel does not rub and blister like so many of the other shoes I have purchased before. We are in Mexico this week and should really be able to put these shoes to the text.

Great shoe

Excellent water/trail shoe.. fit is spot on. Highly recommend.

Great Shoe

I love the way they feel and look, nice comfortable shoe, true size for me

This is an Observation

Given the technology improvements why is it not possible to get the correct sizing choice right first time. Do we not have the tech to photograph a foot alongside two know sized object and obtain a near perfect sizing match. I'm fed up of ordering oroducts that arnt size suitable.

Great Shoes!

I’ve been looking for a long time for shoes like this that I’d be able to wear on a hike with a cave system where I have to walk in water. Incredible shoe and very happy with my purchase!

Uncomfortable narrow toe box

Stylish and well made but not for everybody. Way to narrow in the front despite the fact I actually bought one size bigger than normal. Uncomfortable and are now collecting dust.

Replacing my old Techamphibian 2’s

Some of the reviews I read mentioned the new ones don’t hold up as long as the old ones. Had my others ones since 2005. Fit and comfort is great. I wanted the fold down heel and also the separate strap around the ankle. Difficult to find in other brands.
