If your idea of fun includes wading through rivers, fishing, scrambling over slippery rocks, or tackling muddy trails, the Salomon Tech Amphibian 5 might just be your new favorite adventure shoe. Built with quick-drying materials, solid toe protection, and a grippy outsole, this shoe is ready for any wet and wild excursion.
At Ridge and River, we love gear that performs in real-world conditions, and the Tech Amphibian 5 delivers on all fronts. Whether you're looking for a solid hiking water shoe, something for kayaking, or just an all-around summer adventure shoe, this one is worth checking out. Let’s break down what makes it special.
Designed for Water and Trail
The Tech Amphibian 5 is made for environments where getting wet is part of the adventure. Here’s why it stands out:
✔ Quick-Drying Mesh Upper – The shoe features an ultra-breathable mesh upper that drains water fast and lets your feet dry quickly. Whether you're hopping between river rocks or hiking through dewy trails, this keeps your feet comfortable instead of soggy.
✔ Collapsible Heel – Need to slip them on quickly? The fold-down heel allows you to wear them as a slip-on, making them super convenient when moving between water and dry land.
✔ Reinforced Toe Cap – Unlike open-toe sandals, these shoes protect your feet from stubbed toes and sharp rocks, which is a game-changer for rugged river crossings or rocky shorelines.
Grip & Traction: Built for Slippery Terrain
✔ Sticky Rubber Outsole – Slippery surfaces? No problem. The deep lug pattern and grippy rubber compound offer solid traction on wet rocks, muddy trails, and uneven surfaces. Whether you’re on a fishing trip, boating, or just exploring a creek, these will help you stay upright.
✔ Quicklace® System – No more fiddling with soggy shoelaces. This lets you adjust the fit with a single pull, and it stays secure all day long.
Who Is the Tech Amphibian 5 For?
This shoe is perfect for:
✅ Hikers and Backpackers – If you're tackling trails with water crossings, this shoe won’t hold you back.
✅ Kayakers & Water Sports Enthusiasts – Quick-drying and grippy, they’re great for getting in and out of the boat.
✅ Anglers & Fishermen – Keeps feet secure while wading and prevents slipping on mossy riverbanks.
✅ Travelers & Everyday Adventurers – Whether you're exploring tropical beaches, heading on a summer road trip, or just need a breathable, versatile shoe, the Tech Amphibian 5 is a solid pick.
