Customer Reviews Salomon Techamphibian 3

These definitely run at least a half size big. I usually wear a 9 in shoes (e.g., Asics, Nike), sometimes a 9.5 (e.g., Mizuno). In these, the 9 was too large.

This water shoe is "almost perfect" but the non-elastic, nylon drawstring is a deal-breaker for me...it feels like a high-maintenance, breakable, very thin shoelace. I'm a Keen girl from way back and will always favor the no-hassle elastic cord. I haven't lost faith in Salomon over this though and this is an excellent shoe otherwise. Be sure to buy at least a 1/2 size down from your regular size.

Good looking shoes. I was afraid hiking/water shoes would be on the "not so cute" side but this pair is really cute. I ordered a size larger at first and exchanged them for my normal size of 6.5. They are comfortable too.

I usually wear a size 6.5, but half sizes are not offered in this shoe so I ordered a size 7. Love the shoes but the 7 was too big. My heel lifted up to high and I had lots of room in the toe area. I'm hoping a 6 is available to try. Great constructed shoe for water and hiking.

Great fit, love the adjustable heel strap (narrow heel problem solved), enough forefoot space too, comfy, love the minimal weight. The only slight minus is the lower sole which I wished was not so soft. I use these as lightweight comfy shoes for rappelling after a climb, they clip to the harness easily and weigh almost nothing. So comfy on multipitch, and non-slip. But on the smaller ledges, a stiffer sole would be nice to provide more support. I would think that as a water sandal in uneven terrain, you would have similar issues and want a stiffer sole (but that might increase the weight). For what they are and what they cost me (around $50 on sale), they are great.

These shoes are the cutest. I have not worn them yet, but I did try them on and they fit perfectly. They do run a half size too big. I’m a true 7 1/2 and I ordered a seven. These are my second pair of this brand Solomon. I’ll update my review after I try them out next weekend for a hike.

I bought this shoe for a trip covering a few national parks which will include some canyons / stream trails. I can’t yet report on their performance there, but I would agree with some other reviewers that these shoes can be a bit rough to break in - I initially had a few pretty nasty blisters. I read elsewhere the suggestion to break them in with a thin sock to start, and I’ve been doing so on a few 2 mile walks locally and I can now say that they’re awesome as intended with no socks. It just took maybe 3-4 uses. They’re grippy and comfortable.

I purchased these for a week long canoe trip and hiking to swimming holes. They are very comfortable, keep most sand and rocks out and drain/dry quickly. Toe protection was great, and they were very supportive and stable on slippery rocks and while lugging gear around on uneven terrain. They are very comfortable both wet and dry, although it took me a few tries to figure our the best way to tighten to avoid rubbing on the ankle bones. I've owned several pairs of salomon shoes/boots in the past, and found that these fit similarly. After two months they don't show any sign of breaking down. Great Purchase!

Perfect for water sports and hiking through streams and trails. Only downside is when you get rocks, sand and pebbles in your shoes in a hike, they don't flow out easily, given the mesh-style siding. Of course this also prevents them getting in in the first place.
