Review on 🏊 Cressi Adult Short Light Swim Fins with Self-Adjustable Comfortable Full Foot Pocket - Agua Short: Perfect for Traveling & Made in Italy by Charles Lewis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Small, light, very comfortable but offer limited traction in the water.

I used these fins in the pool for the first time today. They have a smaller fin area than some of the other street sized fins but they worked pretty well and the size 45-46 is perfect for my height 12ft. It will probably be ok for US size 12-13. The leg pockets are very soft and I would say these are the most comfortable fins I have ever worn. They provide enough power to speed you up a little while swimming or for general snorkeling, as long as there isn't a strong current. They are also very light and ideal for stowing in hand luggage. My wife has a size 37-38 pair that fits her size 7 women's feet very well, but the fin area is much smaller than the larger size I use and I'm concerned that she won't get much extra in the smaller size provide traction. I originally bought both of us US Diver's Trek Travel fins as they have a lot more surface area and offer a lot more traction, but the poor design of the buckles meant that the straps kept coming loose and when you were swimming aggressively they actually pulled. all the way through the buckles and let the fins fall off my feet so I returned them and bought these instead. While these fins don't give that much boost in the water, they are at least comfortable to wear and hold on to your feet. I wish these fins had a little more surface area to provide extra traction, but they should do pretty well for fitness lap swimming and snorkeling on vacation offshore.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
