Salomon Techamphibian 4 Water Shoes
A global adventure sports shoe for in or out of the water. A completely modern evolution of the original multi-activity adventure shoe, TECHAMPHIBIAN 4 has been completely redesigned with a sleek, welded upper and more cushioned midsole. It's more dynamic than ever while retaining the ease, versatility, and water capability that made Techamphibian legendary.
Breathable Mesh Upper
Constructed using a super breathable mesh, the Salomon Techamphibian 4 Water Shoes encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. The mesh is perfect for exploring in wet conditions as it allows water to evacuate the shoe but prevents debris for entering. It ensures the water is released effortlessly for long-lasting comfort whilst preventing discomfort and damage by blocking out the debris. A stitch-free upper construction provides a smooth, glove-like fit and feel which sits comfortably against the skin and reduces the risk of chafing and irritability plus welded overlays ensure structure and support as well as unparalleled durability. The Techamphibian 4 has a patented convertible heel which allows the wearer to receive additional ventilation and space in the back of the shoe. This turns the shoe into more of a sandal form, perfect for walking through streams and adventures where greater ventilation would be beneficial. A Sensifit system cradles the foot providing a precise and secure fit and a heel strap can be adjusted to provide an optimum stay-put fit. Completing the upper is a Quick Lacing System which provides a minimalistic and strong lace for a one-pull tightening ensuring you get the shoes on and off with minimal effort. A lace pocket is useful as it allows the laces to be stowed away making sure the laces do not get caught or snagged on any sticks or bushes out on the trail, reducing distractions.
EnergyCell Midsole
Within the midsole, the shoe has injected and compressed EVA which forms the EnergyCell Midsole. This multi-functional midsole will provide both comfort and protection, as it has dual-density EVA. Towards the bottom, the EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole of the foot. Energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step. The higher you get in the midsole, the EVA becomes less densely packed, which will make every step feel comfortable. Additionally, an EVA sockliner provides added underfoot cushioning so you can go further for longer.
High Traction Contagrip Outsole
The Salomon Techamphibian 4 Water Shoes features a Contagrip outsole, providing unique traction technology. With a mix of compound, lob geometry and density, it gives the boot brilliant grip and durability, regardless of the terrain underneath. Utilising different combinations of harder, softer and grippier Contagrip compounds, Salomon's adventure running outsole provides the perfect blend of grip and durability to cover a multitude of terrains. When you are running on the wet and muddy ground, the shoe's deep chevron lugs dig into the ground, which will anchor you in place. This will also benefit you by acting as a solid base for you to push off from when taking a stride, as well as digging into the ground when braking and changing direction.
