Rating: Not to bad for snorkeling
Reviewer: Bryce M.,
I bought these for my wife to go SCUBA diving knowing there for snorkeling. She is only giving them a 4 star rating, not because it was our mistake (as reviewers often do grrr)She said that they were hard to us at the surface, but that could be because she is use to a scuba fin, which is bigger. The fin pocket for your foot is to small for the use of a boot,so not the most comfy fin. That said, most of our problem was in a different use for the fins, they would be great for snorkeling Im sure

Reviewer: Gregory T.,
I have had 2 pairs of these fins for my daughter (age 10), for snorkeling. Both suffered broken straps the first time they were used in the water. I would not buy this fins.

Questions and Answers for Oceanic V Flex Adjustable Strap Snorkeling Fins:
bill:
Why are boots required ?
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
The foot pocket is designed for use with boots. This allows for use in colder climates. If you don''t wear boots, the strap and foot pocket will tear up your feet when you use them.

I need to find strap fins to fit my son with a size 14 foot. Do you have options available? Thank you for your assistance.
Spring straps are a self adjusting replacement heel strap. They remain snug on your heels even at depth when your booties are compressed by the pressures of the atmospheres you are experiencing.
