Trek

used these on my last 2 vacations. I spent at least 1-2 hrs a day snorkeling right off the beach. it was great to have my own equipment and not have to rely on rentals that someone else wore. These fit well and are easy to travel with as they do not take up much space in the suitcase. it is almost unnoticeable that they are not full size fins. Although after about an hour of continuous swimming, my feet did begin to feel fatigue from the fins and I think it is because of their (half) size. but it is something that I am definitely OK with as a trade off for the compact size.

I have some regular length ScubaPro split fin snorkeling/diving fins that I love, but I have had some ankle and achilles tendon issues this past year and I wanted some smaller fins that would put less strain on my ankles when kicking. Sure, it means I could not go as fast, but we were going to be snorkeling in pretty calm waters and I could almost skip fins entirely. Also, smaller fins mean more room in my suitcase for other things. I purchased and tried several sets of swim (not snorkel) fins before our trip, but they really were for working out in a pool, making your legs work out versus helping you zip through the water with less effort (really aggravated my ankle issues, so donated those to the fin bin at my local pool). I ended up buying these US Divers fins and also the Tusa Sport Reef fins so I could pick the best, and both came right before the trip with no chance for me to try them, so I took both with me. The US Divers fins worked the best by far. Had a good feel when kicking and provided acceleration. I used neoprene socks with them and with the socks they were comfortable for snorkeling every day for 60-90 minutes, for 2 weeks. My husband tried them also one day (the ankle strap allows for a range of foot sizes), and he liked them. Neither of us liked the Tusa. I got the Tusa in blue and they were cute so I wore them on the first day, and they were just OK in feel but did aggravate my ankles somewhat. I was not sure I could snorkel as far the second day, but I switched to the US Divers fins and had no problems, a definite difference compared to the Tusa, and the kick felt much better and propelled further. I used the US Divers the rest of our trip and was very happy with them. They did not aggravate my feet and ankles and they had a good kick. Compared to my full length split fins, the kick had less power but on the other hand, the US Divers put less stress on my feet and ankles. And being shorter and lighter was a bonus for packing in a suitcase. One day on the trip, I did forget my neoprene socks and wore the US Divers fins without the socks. They did rub on one of my toes, so I'd have to recommend using them with some sort of sock or booty.

I'm really clumsy and so didn't want to start off as a beginner snorkeler with long fins. Plus I was taking these on a trip to Hawaii so the smaller size was easier for packing in my suitcase. These are fairly narrow. I have wide feet and just fit into them with fin socks but even the large was too narrow for hubby's feet. I used these for snorkeling close to the shore and reef, and borrowed the tour operator's longer fins when further out in the ocean, just to be safe. I'm happy with my purchase. These did the trick for shallow snorkeling, and with the fin socks that I bought separately there was no rubbing on my feet.

Bought to replace long-lasting, same brand/style pair. I bought adult medium. My feet are average width - 9.5 in sandals, 10 in shoe, 10.5 in athletic footwear. The fins fit comfortably with the adjustable ankle straps opened as far as possible. No problems with the ankle buckles popping open. I like that the ankle straps are shorter than in my previous pair in the same size. Before buying this brand I tried several name brand fins which too quickly split on the top of the foot opening. Gorgeous blue color also a plus for me!

I should have returned them. Too heavy. I left them in Cancun.

As an older man, I need a little boost for swimming laps. These fins are just perfect for swimming. Small enough to "flutter" kick, yet large enough to make significant headway. They were a little tight for my size 9 feet so I force filled them with wet newspaper and left in the Sun to expand slightly. Now they fit perfectly. They are small enough to travel easily. Overall a great purchase.

I love these fins. They fit nicely in my luggage and are very comfortable. I had purchased two snorkel sets in December. One of the sets was the Aqua Lung (by US Divers). These are the exact same fin. My daughter and I both love these fins. The other set we have is made by Cressi. The Cressi fins press down on the top of our toes, so we can only wear those for a short time. This is why I purchased this new set of fins. I can't wait to go snorkeling in the Caribbean in 3-days! I highly recommend these.

I bought these for my trip to Hawaii. They were travel size and I wanted to make things easy on myself and bring my own gear - use it and then have it for any future needs or adventures. These were okay. I recommend wearing foot protection. Maybe socks? They cut my foot in the opening area. The buckle was also a bit troublesome.

Good compact fins for travelling. A little wider than I was expecting but not really a problem.

Great size and light weight for travelling and snorkelling. Work really well even with compact size, easy to back and carry.

excelente producto servicio rapido

Difícil de colocar los broches, el peso y el tamaño es bueno, pero muy difícil de abrochar especialmente antes de entrar al agua.

easy to travel with, fits awesome and works like a charm
