Cressi Pro Light Open Heel Scuba Diving Fins: Lightweight and Well-Balanced Made in Italy Review

This is the snorkel length I expected. It looks solid and of high quality, but the slats are a bit big or too wide for me. My foot size is US 7.5. I've tried wearing it with my 2mm neoprene socks and it still looks great. I guess I need thicker socks for that. Will update soon once I try to swim.

2.1 lbs Each fin is not at all light. Almost every other travel fin will be at least half a pound lighter. I was looking to replace my hefty (2.3lb each) Mares fins to lighten my travel bag, but that won't work with this product. The product specifications/description does not list the weight, creating unnecessary headaches with shipping and returns. Otherwise good and inexpensive fins.

These are really good fins but the size is too big. I'm 10 and my son is 11. We bought L/XL and they were too big. We then bought an M/L and had to have the strap fully tightened for them to fit (and we had to wear 3mm boots). Even M/L seemed better for size 12 shoes. return it and get another brand. Love the fin but can't trust the size.

Moves you through the water well although I felt I had to work harder than expected and found that I was feel better when I roll onto my side stepping through the water. Face down (scallop, so on the water) I found it more difficult. They are mostly comfortable when you have ankle boots; Otherwise, the straps will tear your ankles and hurt after a while.

Mares Equator Dive Boots 2mm-11 These are not the cheap snorkel boots you find in discount stores. They will work and you will not be laughed at on the dive boat. Great entry fin. I wear size 11 shoes but ordered L/XL. They are designed to be used with a dive boot. So if you put your foot in without a boot, you'll have too much room on the sides. I tried on the Mares Equator diving boots (2mm neoprene) and they fit perfectly.

I've been a scuba diver in Hawaii all my life. Find this very bulky. I had to take the feedback on wearing dive socks to heart. We don't wear diving socks here. At least none of my friends do. You MUST have dive socks! The fins are heavy and the toe area is uncomfortable, like something is touching the inside of the toes. Almost like they left the toe separators? Also, I pulled them on as tightly as I could, and yet they seemed to slip off as soon as they got wet. I sent them back and ordered…

When I switched to these fins I got very bad cramps in my calves and arches. I don't have this problem with my other fins. It feels like the stiff fin combined with the small surface area my foot presses on and the odd fit is twisting my foot in an odd way, causing cramps. I don't recommend them if you have big flat feet like me. (Also, the female part of the plastic buckle is very easy to detach and easy to lose. Because of this, it changes to a star.)

They are good more than I thought but I am also new to scuba/snorkeling. I first ordered size L/XL because I wear between 10.5 and 12 depending on the shoes. I know they are more suited to socks/boots but they were too big even with 5mm boots, I returned them for M/L and they are still large although I think I used them for work the tightest strap will do, because it doesn't look like they trimmed it from their biggest fins that they sell. I suggest going down a size than you usually go if you…

Not sure what the problem is. 2nd try. but be careful. I wear size 6 in F. All are not original for Cressi (ie pack (mesh bag)) and very frustrating. DO NOT ORDER HERE. know the risk It's worth going to your local dive shop for matching and original packaging. I have the same pair in black and it came in a factory bag 4 years ago. Now you get what you grab. beware. There are several sizes XS and Med+. those who "package" them most likely don't know. Honestly I have no idea why they aren't in…
