Review on ๐Ÿ”ต Aqua Sphere AlphaFin: Enhanced Eva Foam Fin by Manny Darawi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The size is right, but there's a catch

Ultra light, good motor, nice design. As for the sizing issues and foot cramps mentioned in other reviews, here's my take on it: true to size. I wear women's size 9 and small is the right size. The small size fits snugly around the ankle and I had calf cramps so I bought a medium size to compare. My foot hovered around. Here's what I found as a defense: I put my flippers on the shallow part of the pool and stuck my feet in the flippers as deep as I could, using the bottom of the pool for leverage. Then I tighten the strap and push my legs even further by placing one finned foot over the other. Although the strap is still snug, my legs feel good when I swim and don't cramp with this method. I tried on a small pair of shorts that the owner had worn for a long time and over time the strap stretched to make the fit more comfortable.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
