Great - best swim fins I've ever used. The design works. I'm a size 9, ordered the 8-9 size and had to reorder one size larger,
Less strain on my knees than my conventional finsFit my feet well (do not need to wear socks to keep from getting blisters :^)
I use these fins for my daily swim workout, 2500 yds. First off, I like that they fit, and are snug on my feet. There are no abrasion or wearing problems. However, for me, these fins are too weak. By that I mean when I kick, there doesn't seem to be enough resistence, I even noticed my arms being more tired post workout. The fin portion is too flexable, gives too easily in the water. I don't get my best propulsion in the water. The speedo fins I returned, cause they don't make them large enough for my size 11 feet, they were hands down better. REALLY liked them, just too small and so had a wear problem where my toe stuck out. I also prefered the rubber material of the speedo, these have a more plastic feel, but this is really just my personal choice. May have something to do with the weak fin though.
feel light
Love these fins. The only downside for me is that one fits perfectly and the other is a bit loose, so it rubs one foot as I kick. Ow. I'm sure it's MY "deformity" and not the fault of the fins, tho'. Good product.
I bought these for my 9 year old. He swims at the Junior Olympic level so I thought I would try these instead of the standard beginner fins. He seems to really like them and they are great for proper kick development.
