From Backcountry.com:
"The Salomon Men's Techamphibian Shoes make a smooth transition between land and water ideal for river guides, kayakers, or anyone else tapping into their inner amphibious nature. These technical water shoes protect your feet like a shoe, yet drain like a sandal. The synthetic mesh upper and Quickfit lacing won't absorb water, so you don't have to carry around extra weight until your shoes dry. The adjustable, convertible heel folds out of the way when you need a slip on for a quick jaunt out of your tent in the middle of the night. The Techamphibian Sandal's Contagrip sole grips slippery rocks or dirt to keep you upright."

From REI:
"Equally at home on land or in water, the Salomon Tech Amphibian shoes are great for pursuits like river running and canyoneering. Adjustable, collapsible backs let you wear these with neoprene booties/socks if you choose. Kevlar quick-lace system provides secure, non-slip fit. Drainage ports ensure easy escape for water inside shoes. Contagrip® 2 rubber outsoles deliver optimal performance on mixed terrain. Lightweight, quick-drying synthetic/mesh uppers offer support and durability."

From RockCreek:
"Salomon's Tech Amphibian is the essential shoe for professional river guiding and canyoning. This is the ultimate all purpose amphibious footwear. An adjustable, collapsible back can be worn with a neoprene bootie or sock. The Kevlar quick lace provides a secure, non-slip fit. The non-woven air mesh and drainage ports enhance the liquid experience, allowing water to escape and your shoes to dry out quickly. Click here to see the Men's Tech Amphibian"

"I purchased these shoes to use in a top-to-bottom through hike (16 miles) of the Zion Narrows in Utah and they performed like champs. I am an avid hiker and carried 10-15 lbs of gear in small backpack.

I bought the shoes a week prior to the trip and wore them every day to help break them in, though it wasn't needed; the shoes are very malleable."

"Here's the run down. They are lightweight which I love
Lots of ventilation, water drainage which is great!
The insoles are not attached very well, mine come out every time I take them off I need some tape or something.

They SMELL. I used them in a lake kayaking and they some how got REALLY funky."

"These shoes have been great for me. I have hiked miles at a time in them and also used them for boating. They dry out very quickly and I have never had any trouble with blisters. Doesn't matter if you are in a river or on wet rocks these shoes won't let you down."

"I bought these shoes for canoeing. I've enjoyed these a lot. I'm not sure what the first lady is talking about with the shoes being slippery on rocks... They're fine for the rare hiking I've done in them. I found mine on sale and have been a fan ever since. Salomon makes great gear when you can get your hands on it."

"Very disappointed in these shoes. They rubbed the back of my ankle and slipped very easily on wet rocks. My husband also bought a pair and was disappointed. His $15 sandals were less slippery on the wet rocks then the Salomon shoes. I do not recommend these. However, they do look pretty cool and were lightweight, but I don't think that outweighs the negatives."

"It's a great all around shoe. Very rugged. I have two pairs of 'em. Very comfortable. You can walk miles in them and your feet will be perfectly fine. They say it has some micro-bile stuff in them that cuts odor but that's a bunch of crap. But a great shoe for the water or land. Definitely a must buy."
