Here's what other sites are saying:
From Altrec Outdoors:
"No other Salomon shoe sells as well as the Techamphibian shoe. Whether you're on the trail or pushing off from the shoreline this versatile shoe has you confidently protected with superior comfort and exceptional grip. While other trail and paddle shoes attempt to make the transition from land to water and back, Salomon's Techamphibian does it better with a breathable single-layer of air mesh along the upper that dries faster than other forms of textile or suede upper configurations. In back you'll find a versatile heel strap that you can adjust to fit your needs both in and out of your boat, kayak or raft. A Quickfit lacing system up top allows for easy fit modifications without the hassles of knots or double lacing. If convenience floats your boat, Salomon's Techamphibian is one of the best you'll find on any body of water."
From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Salomon Women's Techamphibian blurs the line between sandal and shoe. It protects your feet like a shoe, but drains water like a sandal. The synthetic mesh upper and Quickfit lacing won't absorb water, so you don't have to carry around extra weight while your shoes dry. An 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. Built for professional river guides, canyoneers, and adventure racers who make frequent transitions between wet and dry environments, the sticky Contagrip sole gives you traction over variable terrain."

I was somewhat disappointed in them though. They're not that comfortable. Hopefully I can wear them in, but I feel a few spots where they will definitely rub against my foot even with socks on."

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."

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."
