Anybody who reads outdoor gear reviews knows a thing or two about the great fit and performance of Salomon's adult-sized running and backcountry shoes but what most people don't know is that the same quality performance features found on Salomon's adult footwear are also on the kid-sized shoes. Salomon's Techamphib K is a surefooted example. Like the adult shoes the Techamphib K has Salomon's patented convertible heel that switches from a standard water shoe to a slip-on clog. Along the bottom you'll find the same great seven-density Contragrip™ sole with geometrically-configured lugs in multiple densities but this one is non-marking so you don't have to sweat swabbing the deck or sailboat cockpit of pint-sized skids and marks. The stretch air mesh upper is excellent for draining after dunks or wades and the water-resistant design dries quickly even on cloudy days.
