Description of Long Floating Fins For Swimming And Snorkeling By FINIS – Use Size Chart For Accurate Sizing

LONG BLADE DESIGN FOR ELONGATED KICK: Provides greater resistance in the water for maximum forward propulsion while improving swimming technique by teaching swimmers to kick from their hips and not their knees. FLOATS IN FRESH AND SALTWATER: Buoyancy from the fins lifts legs to the surface, making it easier for swimmers to find correct body position. Rinse in cool, non-chlorinated water after each use. GREAT FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES: Designed to increase leg strength and speed, building cardiovascular conditioning even for competitive swimmers. SOFT, NATURAL RUBBER: Provides secure and comfortable fit compared to other swimming accessories. COLOR-CODED SIZING: Check the size chart before purchasing

Swimming Flippers on my review.

I bought these for my son and he loves them. He says they are comfortable and he looks like a little fish swimming back and forth.

Pros
  • Great item
Cons
  • Prone to lose its grip after a few uses

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Felt secure in my review

Didn’t read the size chart accordingly but this was a bit small for my 10 year old where it seems to be more for a 5 year old with smaller feet

Pros
  • High-quality construction for maximum performance
Cons
  • Not suitable for people with high arches

Daughter Loves Them

I bought a pair of these for my daughter to use at swim practice. She likes them and says they are comfortable and work great. They are also very reasonable for the price.

Pros
  • Ideal for both swimming and snorkeling
Cons
  • Tends to cause drag while swimming, making the user slower

Great fin but a little narrow.

These are great fins they feel amazing when you swim. But after about 20-30 minutes you could feel the pressure on the pinky toes side. I think that they are a little too narrow up at the top towards the toes but I do have wide feet. My boyfriend on the other hand has narrow feet and they squeeze his pinky toe as well. So I don’t think this is necessarily a wide foot person problem. Other than that, I do like the feel when swimming, much better than these other fins I had purchased. Which felt…

Pros
  • Excelente
Cons
  • Doesn't provide enough power during the kick for a powerful thrust

Good Quality but Incorrect Sizing

The colors apparently determine the size, and it is not shown what size the fins are unless you scroll through the pictures and see the sizing chart. Turns out the sizing chart was wrong, and the fins I ordered (the largest ones btw) needed to be returned because I couldn't begin to fit my feet inside. I'm incredibly disappointed and I already got my money back. The only reason it gets two stars is because the quality seemed nice.

Pros
  • COLOR-CODED SIZING: Check the size chart before purchasing
Cons
  • The fins tend to float sideways, which can be dangerous

Good fit, very durable

The basics:Update: months later they have stretched enough to feel more comfortable, seem to shape to my feet. If yours feel somewhat snug at first just hang in there.•good fit•seem very durable•easy to useEditorial:I’m a size 11, bought the x-large (red and black) My foot is fairly wide, high instep so they are a bit snug in the toes, I’d prefer that than too big and sloppy. I wear a pair of very thin no-show socks to reduce friction. I’d bought fancy water socks and they made it very hard to…

Pros
  • Safe and easy to use
Cons
  • The fins tend to flip over while in use

very good quality. I think it runs very snug -- too snug for me.

good quality. a bit weighty. runs small in my estimation, but I don't want fins to be super tight on my feet. might buy a larger size, but for now got some shorter, lighter fins , brand name "smart." I would have given 5 stars but for the fit (which can be easily remedied by sizing up). Think I’ll reorder a size up and see how they fit. PS, I wear a woman's size 10 shoe (but I'm really technically a 9 ½ Wide), but I need toe room.

Pros
  • Water Sports
Cons
  • Not durable enough to withstand rough use

Perfect swim fins - my new review

We purchased these for our 6 year old interested in snorkeling. He is not an advanced swimmer but still took to these quickly! With these swim fins and a snorkel mask, he can easily and confidently spend hours in the water.The size chart is spot on for fit. We have the XS (blue/yellow) for a size 1.5 in kids shoe. They are SNUG. The rubber stretches well. No sand gets inside.We used them frequently at the beach and pool over the past few months and they show no sign of wear. They seem durable…

Pros
  • Comfortable, soft foot pocket
Cons
  • Tends to cause leg strain during use

Nice Fins - TOO SMALL - Sizing Chart is a Bit Confusing.

Fins are good quality and float as stated in the description. Bought them for my son who is tall with big feet and wears a solid 3.5. I was a little confused about the sizes offered and descriptions in the size chart. I also noted many of the customer questions are confusion around the sizes offered. I purchased the size SM 3-5 just as the size chart suggested. However, like many other posts here, they were too small. My son's toes stuck out of the front about a half an inch. It wasn't bad, but

Pros
  • SOFT, NATURAL RUBBER: Provides secure and comfortable fit compared to other swimming accessories
Cons
  • Not suitable for people with sensitive skin

Great fins for swim team or snorkeling!

Rubber fins are the way to go for competitive swim training and also snorkeling! They are very comfortable! However it’s important to get the sizing right. This time I made a mistake and got the 5-7 (EU 39-42). I am a size 8.5/9 Womens street shoe and I should have gone for more 7-9 (EU 40-41) like my old pair.

Pros
  • Aids in reducing stress on knees, ankles, and feet during swimming
Cons
  • The fins tend to cause toe cramps

Good fin but bad fit. Blisters after few swims.

About me: I swim 3-4 times a week and use fins as part of the drill.Sizing this fins can be challenging and hit or miss depending on your feet shape and length. So, beware. I wasn't expecting it to fit like a sports shoe especially given the size range but I thought I point out the shape and length of the slot did not fit me at all.Size: I wear shoes of size US 9. So, I bought 9-11 thinking it'd be good considering many reviewers recommending you to buy one size larger. But when I received it…

Pros
  • Perfect for anyone looking to improve their swimming ability
Cons
  • Tends to cause irritation on the skin

Great training fin on my review.

My 7 year old takes a 2.5 shoe tho was a good fit, the next size up was a littles big and kept coming off during practice. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Offers versatility to use in multiple swimming environments
Cons
  • Not durable enough to withstand saltwater

FAVE FINS!: my feedback

Daughter’s shoe size is 6. This is her favorite. We tried other brands like Decathlon and Speedo and this by far is the best for her. She just outgrew the color blue and yellow because it’s very durable. She trains 4-5x a week.

Pros
  • Durable and comfortable. Not the best speed from fins but still a good pair
Cons
  • Too narrow, causing discomfort in the toes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Way too small and too narrow.

My shoe size is 8 1/2 -9 .I can't get my foot into the pocket even with wife help! 2 stars because they look good and are flexable. I tried to exchange the for the next size up, but they say it is a month wait. I'll try a sporting goods store to advoid the hassel of ordering without trying on!

Pros
  • They add speed and fun in the pool. Easy for kids to get them on and off.
Cons
  • Not suitable for people with existing ankle issues

Hard to judge size in my review

I purchased these based on the size chart listed. I bought a 7-9 US women's size because I wear a size 9 shoe. These were way too small - could hardly get them on. I had to return them and am now hesitant to buy the larger ones because the next size is something like 9-11. I am afraid they will be too big. I wish the manufacturer would make the sizing clearer.

Pros
  • Swimming
Cons
  • Takes longer to put on and take off than other fins

Grandson loves them.

Bought for grandson (10). That's my feedback! He was impressed with the improvement in swimming speed and ease to effort expended ratio.

Pros
  • Sure made it easy to explore the north shore of Oahu with those fins! Compact and lightweight
Cons
  • They state these were for sizes 9 to 11, but my size 9 1/2 feet don’t fit.

LOVE these flippers.

We love Finis flippers! We bought the orange/blue size for our five year old over a year ago. She has worn a toddler 10 shoe and they've fit fine. they've been roomy but she's an avid/strong swimmer and has had no problems keeping them on her feet while swimming. One year and a half later, her foot is only barely out of the 10's and almost in the 11's and this size is still perfect for her. One of the flippers did split just above the foot a couple weeks ago, but I think it's from repeated…

Pros
  • FLOATS IN FRESH AND SALTWATER: Buoyancy from the fins lifts legs to the surface, making it easier for swimmers to find correct body position. Rinse in cool, non-chlorinated water after each use
Cons
  • The fins tend to rub against each other, causing discomfort

My kids love these!

I bought these for my kids to use while they play and swim in the pool. They LOVE them. They are a great quality and stand up to the chlorine and the sun.

Pros
  • To my surprise, these fins really awesome. Very light and it fits just right.
Cons
  • Too heavy, making it hard to maneuver in water
