Salomon Techamphibian 5 Water Shoe
We wore the Techanphibian 5 through the wettest trails with ease. That’s mostly because of its wide mesh upper, which allows water to flow in and out without a problem. We also like its tire-like outsole that has deep tread and kept us from slipping when walking through streams. A firm toe cap helped prevent any stubbing.
Going sockless in hiking shoes may sound like a recipe for blisters, but these water-friendly kicks have a soft interior with a water resistant foam footbed that prevents chafing. We took it paddle boarding and kayaking, sans socks, and never had an issue. Thanks to a step-down heel, you can even convert it into a slip-on for more casual activities.

The Hopara is a hiking sandal/water shoe hybrid from Hoka. It manages moisture with a series of vents along the upper and drainage spouts at the heel for water to roll right out of the insole. The thick midsole is borrowed from the brand’s popular running shoes, providing a light and springy step. For improved traction, the outsole has been beefed up with a thick 4mm lug tread.
In our testing, this water shoe really shined on the hiking trail. Rough terrain is easy on the feet thanks to the cushioned sole. Our favorite feature: the soft gusseted collar and elastic drawstring lace system work together for an easy slide-in fit that can be tightened up on the fly for better agility and response.
