Too light

Size: Feels true to size
The fins are so light  it''s hard to get traction on kicking sets.

Excellent training tool
By Daniel G. from Sandwich ,Il. on 4/29/2013
Size: Feels true to size
I''m using these fins to train for my first triathlon at a friend''s recommendation.  They are a great training aide.  Not as much propulsion as traditional swim fins but they help develop a more efficient kick and are easier on the legs.

new experience
By mb from Clinton, WA on 4/19/2013
Size: Feels true to size
I never used training fins before, so I am still in a period of adjustment,. Nevertheless, I think they are very cool.  Lightweight, easy to put on and take off, comfortable to wear while swimming.  I love the feeling of strength and power when I wear them; beware...the wall comes up faster than without them :) I look forward improvement that using these will bring to my stroke.

Alpha Fins
By Water Lover from Kirkland, WA on 4/12/2013
These are lightweight fins - great when you have a load of stuff to carry to the pool.  I ordered a bigger size than my normal size since the reviewers suggested that and my fins fit perfectly (I wear women''s size 11 and I got size Large).  I am still not used to these fins when I swim on my side - they are difficult for me to control.  My PT suggested that I need to tighten my lower core more and these fins would be good for that.  (My shoulders are wrecked which is why I swim without using my arms much and use fins to move more quickly.)

Flipped out flippers
By Elaine from Las Vegas, NV on 4/11/2013
Size: Feels true to size
The fit is perfect, they do not rub.  They really work the muscles the way I wanted.  I am able to swim much faster and easier.

Great swim fins!
By Anne C. from Oviedo Florida on 4/9/2013
Size: Feels true to size
These are just what I needed; they fit perfectly and are much lighter than other swim fins I have tried.  The contoured shape seems to encourage a more efficient kick.

I love my flippers!
By Karen from Lodi, Ca. on 3/27/2013
Size: Feels too small
I wear a size 11, and I bought the XL.  They fit perfectly, they do run small and tight, it is better to order up.  They feel great in the pool, and I am just getting back into shape and I swim anywhere from 3/4 mile to a mile 3-4 days a week at my local gym.  I''m 56 and a former college swimmer, so these are perfect for getting back into shape!

Aqua Sphere Alpha Fins
By Julie H. from Whidbey Island, WA. on 3/27/2013
Size: Feels too big
Love these fins but a medium for a women size 9 is very roomy.  Still works though.  Fins really give your legs a better workout.

Comfort is the best
By toots from Orlanndo FL on 3/23/2013
Size: Feels true to size
Very light and comfortable. The first time I used them, I could lap swim 20 laps (25M) without blister.  Like a pair of shoes, they became easier to use since.  Dries quickly.  Definitely ma favorite fins.

Lightest Fins!
By toots from Orlando, FL on 3/21/2013
Size: Feels too small
Love the look and feel of this fins.  I always wear the fins when lap swimming as I have severe arthritis and do not have power to push, but for some reason, MENS size 6-7 is too small for me (I wear womens 7.5).  My ankle is about 81/2 inches but with my weak arthritic hands, it takes long time to put them on.  Once on, they fit nicely and after 20 laps, no blisters.
Very comfortable, too.
