Salomon Light Amphibian 2 Water Shoes (For Men)

Very light weight and well ventilated. The lack of a lining and heel padding makes the shoes less comfortable than a more traditional style. I think the shoes can take the place of carrying both sandals and shoes on a trip.

don't know how durable they are since I just got them

I really like the shoes. However, there is little support and I needed to use a shoe-stretcher to make one shoe fit a little better (OK, a lot better!!). Since doing that, I'm very happy with my purchase. When summer comes, the first thing I'm going to do is test these shoes out in water.

Years ago, I tried some Saloman's efforts at the burgeoning casual/athletic shoe market. I never connected because Asian 12s were always 1/2 size shorter. This one at 12 1/2 (hard length to find) does very nicely. I noticed the tongue is not gusseted and no provision on top of it to put laces through like you find on most tennie types. I say this because in the short time I've worn them, the tongue starts slipping down into the shoe, with or without sox. I suppose there are some that don't mind the "bunching" effect down there, but I do. I can probably rig a fix as I'm wanting to try them out as a summer golf shoe because of the nicely designed tread pattern. Should be very cool out on the links.

Although I listed the "Con" as dries slowly, it is a water shoe, and is supposed to be wet, so only a con if you wexpect the shoes to dry quickly. I think that they are great. The collapsable heel makes for a great, quick, slip on shoe for camping and around the house as well.
