Rating: Not for small feet
Reviewer: Karen Levine,
I wear a womens size 6.5 shoe, and bought the size S straps to use with Genesis Fins, size S/M (Mens 4-7½/Womens 5-8½). The fins came off my feet repeatedly, causing me to remove these straps and replace with the original manufacturers straps.

Rating: Decent Straps for Free
Reviewer: Robert F., - View all my reviews
Got these straps for free with my TUSA Xpert Zoom fins. They were okay and certainly served their purpose for being free. However, I found the TUSA spring straps to be of higher quality and ultimately purchsed those even though I already had these. Decent straps, but in my opinion, there are better ones.

Reviewer: Kevin Strack, - View all my reviews
I got a pair for my Mares fins. First they dont go on the post of the fins at all. Second I got small based on reviews on sizing because they dont have a chart to go by. I take size 8 shoe so I got small and after making the buckle fit by making th hoe a little bigger they were way to small. should of went with a Med.And for the cost of sending them back and the week and a half to get them I just said forget it. Ill try ro sell them. They do look and feel like a good strap. If they would fit.

Rating: Works Great
Reviewer: JERRY S., - View all my reviews
I have used numerous types of fines over the last 20 + years of diving and these work as good or better then all the others. I bought these because they are 1/2 the weight of my split fins and wanted to reduce my travel weight. They are especially good at maneuverability. The foot pocket is really big so if you are close in size you might want to go down. I wear an 11 in street shoes and when diving I use a hard soled bootie still had room to spare. The spring strap is standard equipment on all my fins. I think they are a must have. Last forever and nothing to loose in middle of a dive. They are just a little harder getting off over mt hard sole booties but well worth it.

I ordered the Oceanic Viper fins which came with a medium size. I have Henderson Aqualock boots but the spring straps forced my toe into the boot causing them to turn numb. I ended up using the rubber straps that came with my fins. Dont waste your money on the spring straps.

Rating: Makes life easy
Reviewer: Julie B., - View all my reviews
As an above knee amputee, using spring dive fin straps makes my life so much easier! These work like a charm and have held up well through several dives. No problem using them, and they connected well to my Tusa T3 fins.

Rating: Great!
Reviewer: Catherine D., - View all my reviews
I love these! I was always the one ready to get into the water, and the last out because my fins were difficult getting on and off. These springs make it super easy. I wear the 3mm hard soled boots, and these springs work great, and stay on great!

Rating: Great Lightweight Fins
Reviewer: Dwight D.,
I ordered these before an overseas dive trip to try and save weight. They are lighter and a couple of inches shorter than my Cressi fins, so i am very pleased with that. I have used them once on a local quarry dive and really like the power they generate. I would certainly recommend these fins to any recreational diver.

Reviewer: Lauren Wright, - View all my reviews
I love these straps and dont know why I didnt buy them sooner. They make putting my fins on and taking them off easy. They apply just the right amount of pressure around my ankles. They were a little difficult to install on my Oceanic Viper fins but with a little elbow grease they are secure. I would definitely recommend these.
