I just thought I''d write this review for all those people who said the velcro straps suck. They''re absolutely right, so much that I took them off the minute I got the fins. I replaced them with Sporti Bungee chords. I haven''t used them with my kids yet but I see no reason why it won''t work, the youngsters don''t make enough power to blow the fins off their feet. That said, the actual fin part is great quality. The rubber is flexible enough for young ankles, and the blade length is just the right length.

Maybe ok for occasional recreational use, but not for swim workout |

Bought these fins for my 6 and 9 year old kids for swim practice. Unfortunately the velcro heel strap did not do a good job of staying in place. The fins kept falling off in the water. Granted, the kids may not have tighten the velcro properly, but if they can't do it, then it's not worth the trouble. Bought new fins with the full rubberized heel - those stayed on for the full workout.

The fins fit my 7-year-old well, and he is delighted with his new ability to speed through the water. He is developing a better position in the water as he learns to swim because the fins force him into a horizontal position, rather than the foot-dragging 45 degree angle that is killing his speed. The strap on the back of the fins does slip off his foot constantly. I improvised a fin keeper with some stretchy velcro straps and now they work perfectly.

THEY WILL NOT STAY ON YOUR KIDS FEET. THEY ARE A JOKE. I CALLED TO SEE ABOUT EXCHANGING AND THEY SAID SORRY...THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE WATER. THAT IS WHAT HE GOT THEM FOR IS THE WATER. THEY FIT FINE OUTSIDE THE WATER. GOOD I GUESS IF YOU ARE NOT WEARING THEM IN THE WATER.

I got these for my 6yo to use in our pool. They work really well and I expect to use them for quite awhile. The velcro works just fine IMO.
