Why Buy from SEAVIEW? - Our US based family owned and operated business is one of the fastest growing outdoor brands on Amazon. Leading the way in the snorkel market Seaview 180 has been a household name in the beach accessories category for over 5 years. Our customers are like family. Snag a pair of our NEW & IMPROVED Topside 1.5 snorkel fins today and join our group of over 700k satisfied customers. COMFORT - Topside fins fit like a shoe. No more blisters as you happily spend as much time as you want swimming, snorkeling, body boarding, or paddle boarding. The closed toe and heel prevent cramping and hypertension in your foot. Each fin has an adjustable Velcro strap around the ankle to provide further support. The neoprene boot allows for flexibility in sizing as the material has some stretch. VERSATILITY- We combine the function of both shoe and fin. Walk around land comfortably. No more awkward waddling in and out of the water. Easier to wear than most other fins. You will have more foot protection as each fin has a strong rubber sole. Additional uses for Topside fins include body boarding, paddle boarding, and river boarding. THRUST - While longer fins will provide more thrust for applications like diving, these short blade fins will provide noticeable boost to your swimming. This design has a stronger down kick than up due to the primary fin surface on top of the boot. For extended swims and deeper dives, we recommend you choose fins with longer blades. For casual snorkeling and shorter distance swimming a short blade fin will help with improving strength while providing needed thrust to get the job done. TRAVEL READY- A pair of Topside fins will fit easily into a carry-on or backpack. No need to suffer through low quality rental gear. Our swim fins also float. Drag from the rest of your body is reduced by the buoyancy of the fins lifting your legs in the water. They'll also never be lost to Davy Jones' locker.

The best fins out there!

Undoubtedly the best fins! I can't believe it took anyone this long to make fins you can actually walk in. I wear 7.5 and ordered 7-7.5. The fins were a bit tight but once I wet them they were perfect! I would not recommend increasing the size. The fins have good walking properties, can be walked very well on dry land and are comfortable! They also easily fit in a suitcase, so you can take them with you on vacation! I live by the beach so I'm lucky these beauties will see plenty of use in the…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • No performance

Very comfortable but prepare to work in the water

These fins are very comfortable but you will have to work more in the water. I tested them in our pool and found this out testing with the US Divers Trek Travel Fin (short travel fin) when I swam 40 feet on my back: No fins = 55 flapper kicks With top fins = 36 flapper kicks while running Divers Trek fins = 22 flaps. Warning: These fins are very buoyant. I had a hard time keeping them under me when I just wanted to stagnate. When I snorkel I like to dive, but these topside fins don't help you…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Older model

An interesting alternative

I usually wear water shoes rather than fins as I have thin skin on my feet and they break when I use regular rubber fins. I decided to try these alternative fins as not only are they softer but they also have a short travel fin so you don't have to pack 3ft fins and they also have a built in water shoe which means the heels do it do not tear from rocks. They are true to size, nice, stretchy and comfortable on the foot (I don't know if they will stretch too much in the water over time and with…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Not good for swim fins, not recommended

I used them for a week in Hawaii. I am a modest swimmer, my wife is an excellent swimmer. She smoked me in the water without fins every time. In terms of design, they are easier to walk in comparison to traditional fins, but how far do you really have to walk with fins on the beach? There are Velcro (Velco) straps that came off EVERY time I was in the water and they were constantly being fixed. There just wasn't enough traction and I liked the concept but wish I had bought traditional snorkel…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • boring packaging

Wonderful! I bought a pair to test them out.

Amazing! I bought a pair to try and liked them so much I bought another pair for my husband. We just got back from Hawaii and were so glad we took them with us. I love these fins! The sole is like a shoe - they are easy to walk on and I like that they cover the entire foot. We had a friend who stepped on a sea urchin and severely injured his leg. Soft neoprene. I have a high arch and upper bone which makes it difficult for me to fit certain shoes/other shoes. My foot fit perfectly and I had no…

Pros
  • Few Competitors
Cons
  • Compatible

The non-slip tread is great!

We travel quite often and LOVE snorkeling. Since space is limited when traveling, it always annoys me that my husband always insists on packing his fins. This product solved that problem for me. These fins are compact, travel-friendly and functional. Unlike flexible, slippery fins, these fins have protection on the underside, and the fin itself is slightly off the ground, so walking in them is not difficult at all. You can just put them on the beach and walk over rocks and sand without worrying

Pros
  • Sea of positive emotions
Cons

Win a Travel Shoe Fin!

I was looking for a set of travel fins that would easily fit in a backpack. However, note that this is travel size, so they have short fins. You don't get as much power per hit, so don't expect to have to fly like SCUBA fins. Speaking of diving, this isn't the best option for it. But they're good for scuba diving, body surfing, boogie boarding, hand boarding, maybe even wake surfing (after drying off). Pros: - BEST feature: soles! Your feet are protected from sharp rocks, broken glass and other

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Ok

17 days in Thailand

My packing method is as follows: take what I need for the trip and nothing else. A few weeks ago I returned from a 17 day trip to Thailand. I fit everything I need in my backpack (camera gear, foot, water, hat) and my Cotopaxi Allpa 35L travel backpack. Among the items I brought were: Katadyn water filter Katadyn Befree water filter with Hydrapak 0.6L collapsible bottle, full face snorkel mask with ocean view, 180 degree panoramic snorkel mask - full face design, panorama dark blue/grey…

  • Pretty impressive
Cons
