Salomon Tech Amphibian

Salomon Tech Amphibian is perfect for those trips when there’s water crossing. Kayakers love it. Trekkers who need to do river crossing should be able to do it without any hassle of removing their shoes. It’s an amphibian, you wear the shoes and keep them – wet or dry.

I recently tested mine on a trip to the beach. I usually bring both my Merrell Chameleon and slippers. Now, all I need is this – the Tech Amphibian dries quickly and can be worn with or without socks.

The Contagrip rubber is perfect for sand and rock during light treks. It is strong enough to handle climbs and descends and is reliable and sticky on most mossy wet rocks. It also does not stink because of the anti-microbial properties in the inner sole.

One local brand Sandugo Tootega even tried to copy the Tech Amphibian and could be acquired at cheaper price at local shops for just Php1,900.

Of course, nothing beats the original – The Salomon Tech Amphibian is lighter and more durable. It may cost a few more both if you want reliability on those wet and dry adventures, the shoe imposes it’s name well.

    I have to agree that the Salomon Techamphibian’s are a very good trekking shoe and handles water very well. If you want a sandal/shoe that protects, this is the one. Wearing them without socks does not cause a stink fest like wearing sneakers.
