Rating: Does not fit
Reviewer: Wyatt Dinken, Friday, September 23, 2011 - View all my reviews
The description says it is a small but it did not fit me or my girl friend. I am a size 7 and she is a size 7 womens. It was more that an inch too big. They need to have more details on the size of the strap. It would be nice to have lenght from post to post.

just think.....40 min dive to 100 ft plus, strong current, great shots of wreck, hanging on swim platform in 3 to 4 ft swells, boat rocking, remove and hand up camera, and off come the fins without any fuss because you went for the the spring straps....like i said in the title....make your life easier

Rating: Better than original straps
Reviewer: Nick L., Sunday, October 18, 2009 - View all my reviews
Having used spring straps before, I tried using my "universal" straps on my Mares fins but they didnt fit so I ordered the Mares spring straps which for some reason cost almost twice as much as the univeral model despite being identical except for the shape of the mounting attachment. The cost is the only reason that I do not give these straps a five star rating. They DID fit quickly and are much easier to use than the original straps both when donning and removing my fins. I think spring straps should be offered as an option on all fins since the unused OEM straps add considerable cost to the original fin purchase.

Rating: Easy on &off
Reviewer: Larry Douglas, Sunday, October 11, 2009 - View all my reviews
The Mares spring fin strap makes very easy to put your fins on and off . Their strap is the only one that works well with their fins unversal straps do not fit . Well worth the price for the ease of use .

Rating: easy on/easy off
Reviewer: EDNA D., Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - View all my reviews
the "universal" spring straps do not fit the mares volo/ volo power fins...this tradmark mares spring straps do. they are pricey but well worth the money as you can easily release your fins especially when you are getting out of the water and have to catch the ladder on the boat in current. i have broken many a fingernail with the standard clasps on the volo strap, so id to the new clasps which were difficult to open with gloves...spring straps are the answer

Rating: nice option for Mares
Reviewer: Julie K., Monday, July 05, 2010 - View all my reviews
Easy to install. They will make your fins fit a little tighter than they do with the Mares plastic straps.

Anything that makes it easier getting into and out of the water is a plus. The Mares stainless steel straps makes putting on and taking off your fins a no-brainer. They feel solid and comfortable.
