Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry Outlet:
"When your hike takes you through rushing rivers, bone-dry trails, and then back to the water, trust the Tecnica Women's Torrent Water Shoes to keep you on your feet. An open-air design at the instep and drainage holes in the EVA midsole make the Torrents feel and release water like a sandal. Meanwhile, a quick-drying mesh upper gives you the protection of a full-coverage shoe no more pebbles sneaking in. The Torrent's full-wrap strap and adjustable buckle provide a custom fit, while its sturdy insole stabilizes your foot over rugged terrain. Tecnica's Amphib outsole grips equally well on wet boulders and dry trails, which makes the Torrents great to use as approach shoes or for kayaking, canyoneering, and hiking over wet/dry terrain."

From REI:
"For the all-terrain individual, Tecnica® Torrent water shoes deliver sure-footed traction and rapid drainage for performance on the go. Synthetic leather and nylon mesh uppers offer quick-dry protection and flexibility while nylon strapping system holds feet securely. Adjustable nylon straps across instep and at heels secure feet and feature a quick-release buckle at instep for easy on/off. Heel and tongue pull loops also aid entry while neoprene and nylon linings protect feet from strap pressure and dry quickly. Strategic openings in uppers provide breathable comfort and rapid drainage to keep feet from sitting in water. Hook-and-loop secured, removable EVA footbeds add cushioning and feature drainage holes at forefoot that feed water to midsole drainage ports. Soft EVA midsoles supply all-day cushioning, shock absorption and drainage via forefoot drainage ports. Thermoplastic urethane powercore arch shanks add torsional stability for better footing on uneven terrain. Cellular-rubber outsoles with ground-gripping lug pattern provide reliable wet and dry traction, plus extra shock absorption."

"The problem with many "amphibious" shoes is that despite their usual light weight they often don't dry quickly enough. Another problem for many of them is comfort. They can be so low profile they are unsuitable for extended periods of walking. Sometimes the synthetic materials chafe bare feet or fit too snugly and don't breathe as well as they should."

"Love this shoe! Perfect for water. Only dislike is once sand gets in them, it is hard to get it out."
