works well
By Bob from New Hampshire on 11/8/2009
Size: Feels true to size

I took the advice of others and ordered the next size up.  I wear a 10.5 shoe (typically) so I ordered the 11-13 size and they are comfortable. Not too tight and not too loose.  What is not clear from the fins is whether there is a right or left one.  Some fins are sided.  These appear not to be.

Fantastic training fins
By Nate from Newport, RI on 10/18/2009
Size: Feels too small

The fins are great for training.  You can really feel the burn in your legs when using these.  Great for longer distance kick workouts, too.  You sustain the kick for longer, building leg strength while getting a good cardio workout.

On the advice of previous reviewers, I bought the next size up.  I am a size 13 and bought the 14-15.  Good move, the fit is perfect.

Great Fins at a Great Price
By tlw from Wooster, OH on 9/2/2009
Size: Feels too small

I try to swim every other day and these are great for workouts.   At 6'6", 260-lbs. wearing 12-12.5 size tennis shoe - I first ordered 11-13 - ended up being slightly too tight which led to some cramping during leg work.  Ordered a second pair (14-15) and these fit really nice so consider getting the next size up.  Fins definitely work the legs, stay on fine and help somewhat with heavy/sinking legs when doing only upper body work as well!

I like 'em!
By Dan G. from Shoreline, WA on 8/3/2009
Size: Feels true to size

I bought these to improve my kicking strength.  I haven't had them long enough to tell if that has happened but my legs are definitely more sore after a swim since I started using them.  The fit is fine - they are a bit snug getting into them but they feel fine while kicking.  The increase in speed while wearing these is very noticeable.

Water Gear Blades Training Fins
By Tiny from Mulvane, KS on 7/9/2009
Size: Feels true to size

Again, I use this product for lap swimming, excellent aid in not overtiring your body.  Increased the number of laps, and not as worn out at the end of session.  Better workout with them versus without them.  Highly recommend for someone wanting to get started and not quit after a few sessions.

Not correctly sized
By Keith from Gainesville, FL on 7/8/2009
Size: Feels too small

Don't buy these fins if you wear a size 13 shoe, probably not if you wear a size 12 either.  The sizing lists the largest at 11-13, but they have a ridge at the toe that would have rubbed my size 12.5 to 13 feet raw.
