Sporti Floating Swim Fins (Color) Reviews

2/22/2019 Not sized as expected, too inconvenient to return

By Lauren

I bought these for my son and they were much bigger than I expected based on the size I ordered (ordered size toddler 8-11 and my son is a 9. They were huge on him). I asked about returning them, but it wasn’t worth it because I would have had to pay shipping. To me, easy returns means that a company provides a prepaid return label. Hopefully he’ll grow into them in a few years.

8/21/2011 Rubs my foot

By Karen Rae

I wear size 7, and I bought these and the Sporti training fins in W 7-9. The training fins are a little roomy, but work well for me. But I cannot wear these. I do not have a wide foot, but these rub on the sides of my foot.

7/19/2020 Toe box nor wide enough- need 1/2 sizes!

By Jim

Toe box too tight- need 1/2 sizes!

6/30/2017 Too soft

By swimmer

Too soft. Can't develop any force, just bend in half. Shoe part uncomfortable, weird fit for me.

8/29/2016 Not a good choice for wide feet

By Kristina F.

My rating is based entirely on fit, because I wasn't able to try the fins out in the pool. I have an unusually high arch, so my feet are tall and take up more space in a shoe than the average. I was not able to wear these fins because the foot pocket did not give me enough space. I'm sure these fins are great for people without really high arches, though.

7/13/2016 Too big

By Marcerecita

11 adult
I asked for a 11 for a 7 year-old girl

7/11/2016 Runs small. Would not fit my 6 year old. Size 11 shoe

By Tee

Runs really small. Did not fit 11 kids shoe size

6/24/2016 Size is my age!

By Sad son

The description didn't say size was by age. They didn't fit my son and I ended giving them away. My son was very sad. I didn't have time to replace them before we went on vacation. Quality was good. I wish they would have fit

7/26/2015 Good length too narrow

By Diane

The length was correct but the foot box was too narrow and too shallow. Ane I wear a size 7 and these were 7-9.

9/29/2014 Don't like these fins

By foofighter

I bought these fins because I read somewhere that Sporti fits wider feet. While this is the case, I had rubbing issues and on one of the toe openings, the edge was jagged which led to periodic blistering. Plus, the long fins keep me from kicking freely. After a few months, I switched to short fins and went with Tyr instead of Sporti. Glad I did; the Tyr's fit perfectly, though I had to purchase the next size up (11-13) from my actual size (9-11).

7/29/2014 Sizing NOT accurate

By Debra B.

If you wear a woman's size 8, get the next size up. I could get my foot in the 7 to 9 but it was uncomfortable.

6/11/2014 Men's size 11-13 was WAY too big in the heel for my size 11 feet

By Bill

Men's size 11-13 was WAY too big in the heel for my size 11 feet (I have average size heels). Otherwise, they were ok on length.

Interesting I also got (and returned) Sporti Training Swim Fins Men's size 11-13. They ran smaller than these fins, but they were still too big in the heel for my feet.

6/6/2014 Size issues

By Rita

Ordered the w7-9 for my daughter who typically wears an 8.5 narrow and they were way to short! Ordered the size up and now the length is good but they're too wide. I think we'll need to find a different brand.

5/1/2014 Uncomfortable for beginning swimmer.

By Globil

Long fin is good for beginner, but just too heavy and stiff.

12/30/2013 Youth size 8-11 run big!

By swim mom

We have ordered several pair of these fins for our kids over the years. My only complaint is that the youth size 8-11 runs big (and that is for a nearly 5-year-old who wears a size 10-10.5 shoe). Sadly, there are no smaller sizes!

3/20/2012 Already Tearing Apart

By Rick

The fin is comfortable to wear and is sized right. I am disappointed that on one of the fins in the pair, that the top part of the fin near the big toe has begun to tear.
