Salomon Tech Amphibian 2 Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 September 25, 2009

First of all, these shoes handled like a CHAMP - once I knew what I needed to do. Allow break in time - WITH SOCKS- because the side stiching on the outside of the shoe can be a bit tight and rub your skin raw if you don't. Second, if you are going to use these as a water/hike shoe like the Narrows, or Havasu Falls/River adventure, you will need to ditch the insoles and get some SUPERFEET (green ones with solid support) or good insoles. You will not need to change out shoes at all. I was able to hike the 10 miles from Supai Reservation with my 35 lb pack on and then roll right into swimming and riverwalking with no problem. I did bring a pair of sock liners and wear them so when my feet got wrinkly and moist it would not rub raw blisters. They were extremely comfortable. CON: The buckle adjustment at the heel does not stay tight, but I knew that going in, so I rubbed in some surf wax to get the nylon part some stick before I left (you could drip a couple drops of candle wax too) and that provided some resistance and I didn't have to sinch my sandals so much. All in all, these were great shoes and very versitile. The bottom line: 1.. break them in w/socks 2. wax the sinch straps 3. replace with good insoles - you will be set.

Vasque Breeze GTX Hiking Boot - Women's

August 8, 2008

Had Vasque low-top day hikers in the past, these mid-boots provide a shot for more support on more rugged terrain.

Scarpa Kailash GTX Hiking Boot - Women's

August 8, 2008

Does anyone know if these are a good boot for wider feet? Do they breathe okay or are they sweat boxes? I need a summer hiking boot with good ankle support. Ideas?

Salomon Explorer GTX Boot - Women's

August 8, 2008

If the sole is not supported by a metal shank, it is not recommended to use crampons with this boot. You would need something more substantial like a mountaineering boot. At least that is what I was told by a shoe specialist when I was looking for a solid high top boot. Good Luck!
