Fast little fin but very uncomfortable!

They are great for small suitcases and work well. The downside is they killed my toe and first tarsal. I couldn't have stayed in them for more than an hour. Had to use rented snorkel gear, couldn't carry it anymore.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

It fits well, the back slips

The case is good. However, the heels fall off my heels very easily. I'm not a super hardcore diver and I move pretty slowly so I don't mind just reaching back and tugging the strap tighter but it immediately slips off again. I have a very wide foot and they fit perfectly, my feet don't feel squashed.

Pros
  • It's a pleasure
Cons
  • I don't like anything, everything is fine

I was looking for good fins to travel with

I was looking for good fins to travel with. I also didn't want fins that I couldn't walk in. It was a great purchase. They were very comfortable and a great size for traveling. You won't get the speed you get with longer fins, but if you're using them for diving, you really don't need speed.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Repair

These fins seem to be of pretty good quality but I could

These fins seem to be pretty good but I could. Or let the belt stay tight. I tug on the trap to tighten it and it immediately disengages. I had to constantly tighten the strap to keep the fins from coming loose and if I didn't tighten them they would fly off my leg. It was good that I was in the shallows because I was sinking to the bottom.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was

Great option for travel fins

I bought these fins for a recent dive as we had size and weight restrictions that prevented us from packing large, durable rubber diving fins. Packed nicely and lightly in a duffel bag, they easily fit in carry-on luggage. Obviously they aren't as good as freediving or high performance fins, but they work well enough for light conditions. If you want to snorkel or dive in strong currents, you can choose another option.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • I'll add later

These are great little fins

These are great little fins. Simply fast and exactly the right binding for it. I swim with them in a 25 meter pool and they are perfect for easy turns and I get a good workout. I wear them without booties and am a size 10.5-11. I have wide feet so I took the Xtra lg. If you have a narrow foot, your foot will fit wider in the bag and you can probably use the larger one. For the price they are worth it. The foot pocket is made of very soft rubber so it doesn't rub or chafe anywhere on my feet.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Got me where I needed to be

I bought these for a trip to Roatan with the intention of using only carry-on luggage. The goal is reached. I don't need to swim fast when snorkeling as I want to take my time and see everything, so the shorter size suits me. However, there is a tiny overlap near the fingers where the rubber meets the plastic, cutting through the top of each of my middle fingers. Luckily I had neoprene booties with me in case they were too big (which they weren't) so I put them on after the first time. The…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Some flaws

I love these compact fins, especially with swim socks!

I love these fins! We first bought a Tribord Easybreath mask and thought we were done with that, but I settled on fins and socks. My husband always gets hamstring cramps after we're done diving so I was particularly interested in these shorter ones. While they can be comfortable without socks (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WXMW11Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01 ?ie=UTF8&psc=1), I highly recommend buying them as well. All the kit (mask, fins and socks) made the snorkeling such a great…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Vulgarity
