Why We Like The Salomon Techamphibian 5 Water Shoe
Like the Red-Spotted Newt, we live our lives as both water dwellers and land dwellers. That's why we like Salomon's Techamphibian 5 Water Shoe for our amphibious lifestyles. The outsoles offer traction for both trails and river bottoms while the toe cap protects us from stubs and sharp debris. The synthetic mesh lining gives us some foot protection from rocks, pebbles, glass, and vegetation while draining water and drying quickly if we get drenched hiking waterfalls, wading a river with our flyrod, or paddling our kayak. It's a summer staple for those of us who play in the water and on land.

Too big
I own multiple Salomon in the same size and was SO excited for the tan/coral combo that I ordered them the same. They ended up being .5 maybe 1 size too big and unfortunately, of course, I can't exchange because they're now sold out :(

Sizing Problem - Shoe too big
I have always loved my Salomon shoe/runner/boot. I have a narrow foot and find that Salomon typically accommodates the issue for me. I typically say this was the best money i have spend on footwear. I however needed to return this item. The Shoe was too large, I debated keeping them, thinking, well in the summer my foot swells. I walked around my house and come to the conclusion I would have to size down 0.5 or possibly a whole size. One thing I did note on the product was, usually EU Size 40 is a US Size 9-9.5. When did the EU Size 40 equal a US Size 8?

Runs big
I am excited to try these for a Grand Canyon rafting trip. I normally wear 6 in running shoes, keen sandals and 5.5 dress shoes. I first ordered the size 6 and they were too big. Size 5.5 seems to fit properly. There is room so you don’t jam your toes and you could wear some some thin socks if you wanted. For my husband, his normal size fit perfectly. They are def not narrow.

Great shoes, but wrong size chart
These are great shoes, but there is something wrong with a size chart (yes, in 21st century manufacturer cannot measure their shoes properly). My wife's foot length is 24 cm. According to the size chart that's 7.5 US. It was huge. Almost 1 inch extra space. Changes to 7 US. It's still huge. 0.7 inch of extra space. Going to order 6.5US, which is 23cm according to the chart. And she still will have about 0.5 inch extra.

Cute, practical water shoes
Need a pair for a trip I’m taking to the tropics where I want to do some hikes, swims, and other excursions. Comfy on first try but will see how they hold up.

Great water shoes
Used them for kayaking. The sand is quite hard to remove but I really like them overall. Very breathable. It runs a bit big but I adjusted them and they are ok.

Love these shoes
I bought these shoes for camping and mucking about outdoors - at first I wasn't sure of t the colour but I now wear them all the time, and love the fact that you can slip your feet into them so easily = wish there was a winter pair

Great amphibian shoes
I got these specifically for canyoning and there were just perfect. They fit well, have a good grip and held onto little water despite swimming and diving in them. Used them for kayaking as well- absolutely worth it.

Great summer shoe
This is my second pair of Techamphibian 5 shoes. I absolutely love them. Great fit right out of the box, I find them to fit true to size. With a good amount of mesh these ventilate well and dry fairly quickly. I use them for everyday wear and even for walking on both pavement and trail up to about 8 miles. More colors please.
