Great training fins very light and flexible. I had issue with selecting size. My shoes size is 9 sometimes 91/2 thought L will fit just fine; sure it was too big. Exchanged it to M and it is still big.

Ok I am lazy about kicking and before was using the split fin by TYR. Great fin But of course they give you quite an advantage over those not using fins during the workout. So I said...ok I'll find a smaller fin. Love the Speedo fin.. It doesn't give me the forward movement advantage and makes me work harder as it seems to concentrate more on the resistance of the up and down kick motion and really buildsyour leg strength a lot better that the TYR's. One down fall.. I have so many blisters on my toes.. (after 1st and 2 nd use).. I have to tape my toes so I can use them. The inner foot part could be a bit more flexible to prevent this somehow... But over all.. Love the fin! I'll keep the TYR's for when I go Freediving.

These fins seem well designed and made. They work well for my workouts in the pool. I have a wide foot and found the largest size still too narrow -- difficult to put on, hard to stretch and way too tight for my comfort. It's beyond me why most manufacturers of all types of athletic footwear think that one size fits all in terms of widths. Often when fins are too narrow foot cramps occur regardless of length. If you have anything wider than a narrow/medium width foot be sure to buy the longest length in hopes that will fit you -- and even then they might not as in my case.

I've been using the Speedo Optimus Training Fins for the past year, I like them but they had started to split at the toes. So, I bought these fins as an extra pair. I really like that they are light, flexible and strong. For example; turning with the Speedos is kind of a mess and they are heavy. But these make it easy to flip and spring off the wall. I have only one concern... It isn't immediately obvious which feet the fins go on. Takes a few laps of trying them on both feet before you discover which way works best for you. Isn't a problem, just not obvious when you look at the fins.

Overall I am satisfied with the function and comfort of these fins. They are compact and powerful. Just by moderate kicking I�ve doubled my speed in water. Also, they promote a good workout for leg muscles. My shoe size is 10.5 and I ordered size large fins and wear them with Speedo neoprene socks, which I also recommend. Fins fit quite snugly however if you have wide feet you would feel pressure which may cause cramps. I relieved this pressure by cutting out a piece of the bottom part under the ball of my foot. I wish these fins were available in different width. Also for me open heel construction helps avoid cramps.
