Review on Maximize Your Swim Performance With FINIS Training Fins by John Hashman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good, Heavy, Strong Fins, but be careful with Size and Friction

I purchased the Finis Yellow Zoomers Gold to help me strengthen my Swimming Skills and Leg Muscles in the water along with other bits from the same Finis training tools. Based on the reviews that was a good choice and I made the right decision.Observations:Blades are Stiffness and heavy.Heel comfortable and natural curve with foots heel, easy to slip foot in.I Select Size H as I use Size 12 US shoe Size / 11 AUS and it fits perfectly. Going smaller would not have been a good idea.But, there is a small issues, as I have seen other complain about it, well it happened to me, one of my toes suffered from a bad case of friction with the Blades and peeled the skin off of a small area enough to cause me to remove the Fins and try to do something about it. I ignored the friction in the beginning as I was exercising in the pool. I did some clean-up of the excess rubber and I think I resolved it. Looking at both the fins, they are made in my case from the same Mould as they had the same imperfections at the same location as shown in the images. Using a fin cutting sharp tool, I cleared the excess rubber and that solved the problem.Conclusion:Good, Heavy, Strong Fins., perfect Fit if you get the size correct, use swimming socks or make sure to minimize the friction between your feet/toes with the fins to avoid blisters and skin injuries.
