| TUSA Xpert Full Foot Split Fins Reviews 
Reviewer: mary springhorn on 10/28/2008
Im now a believer - to be honest, i bought the fins just to save weight. i was heading out to png for two weeks and was facing draconian weight limits on our bags. ive been diving with scubapro twin jet fins for years and im happy with them...but, the fins and boots weighed about five pounds more than the full foot fins. as it happened, i was able to bring both sets of fins and dived with my regular fins for over ten days. then, i developed a painful blister on my achilles tendon and switched to the full foot fins for relief. i have to admit i was a bit apprehensive i didnt know how they would perform in current. the first few dives were in little or no current, so the fins were comfortable and worked...

| Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Lance T. on 7/11/2007
I likeem - in general, these fins worked out great. i have a 10 1/2 wide foot size (us) and so i opted for the next size up (12-13 instead of 10-11). i was intending to use a 3mm soft boot for a dive in the catalinas but the width of the fins was too narrow to accommodate the boot comfortably (length was right but width was too uncomfortable). my body is warmer than average so not having the boot helped keep me cool. at times the fin size felt maybe a half size too big, but since my feet are wide, i just made sure my heels were all the way back and then the fins felt fairly snug. the fins performed well. it felt very easy and comfortable to move in the water. near the beginning of a dive, i felt my...

| IST Sea Diver Snorkel Fins Reviews
Reviewer: myreen a. on 6/28/2007
the best fins ever!! - These light weight fins are flexible and glide you through the water. I have used this type of rubber foot fin since I discovered the joys of snorkelling 20 years ago and keep trying other types to allow me to wear swim shoes under (these are good for barefoot only) and always come back to this type of fin as my main fin to use in summer when I dont need a bootie or swim shoe or sock to keep my feet warm. this pair was for my daughter who is 10. I highly recommend this fin for anyone who swims in water that is warm enough to allow you to not have to wear a bootie or swim shoe under and conditions that dont require walking on shore to cut across barriers etc. !!!

| Aeris Velocity Full Foot Fin Reviews
Reviewer: Robert Greene on 9/26/2007
More than I expected - What a tremendous set of fins! I was expecting them to be an average fin at this price that I could use for traveling. I was surprised at the supple foot pocket and the excellent control and speed that these fins produce, and I now use these fins once a week while diving from boats out here in the Kwajalein Atoll. I have about 30 dives on them and they are holding up great, they are a great bargain that performs exceptionally well.

| Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Adam H. on 4/10/2008
Great flippers - This is the first time I used these split fins. I used them for two weeks in hawaii recently and was impressed how well they worked. They really did make it easier to kick and my legs were less fatigued compared to the regular non-split fin. They fit a little wide on the foot, but I used a neoprene 1mm sock that helped, and also the sock made this and any fin more comfortable than just a bare foot against rubber. I would buy them again.

| Mares Quattro Power Full Foot Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Robert E. E. on 7/17/2009
Great fins for underwater hockey - the full-foot fin is a must for underwater hockey players and these came highly recommended. and they delivered! these are extremely comfy, snug-fitting fins (i have wide feet) with lots of stored potential energy (stiff). that is exactly what i was looking forfins built for speed. my uw hockey buddies thought they would make my legs tired in short order, but even after 1.5 hours of bottom time in a 12-foot pool playing at a fairly intense level) much more vigorously than i would if i was scuba diving) i didnt get a cramp or even feel fatigued. in fact, i felt they made me noticeably faster than i had swam previously. i suspect they would be appreciated by others who seek speed (free divers...

| Mares Corda Full Foot Fins Reviews 
Reviewer: Robert H. on 8/19/2009
The Only Fin for Big Feet - I purchased this fin because it is the only one that I could find by any manufacturer that came in a full foot version and would fit my size 14 feet. The first time I used them, I got the usual rubbing and almost blisters since they hit my feet in different spots than my other fins. A week later, on the second time, they were quite comfortable.
The listing says they are for the pool and not for Scuba. This is probably correct advice. They are much shorter than normal Scuba fins and dont provide the force you are probably use to getting. One other thing...I was using them and trying to teach a student how to self remove a leg cramp. The fins are so short that I wasnt able to reach... View Full Review

| XS Scuba Goby Full Foot Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Hallie H. on 5/8/2008
XS Scube Goby Full Foot Fins - These fins are perfect for snorkeling. They are fairly large so you get alot of ride for a little effort. But they are still lightweight and very comfortable. They are so soft that I didnt have any blisters or irritation, even on the first day I used them. They also came with a handy net bag with shoulder strap. All in all, a perfect choice.

| Mares Avanti Tre Superchannel Full Foot Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Paul R. on 7/19/2008
Zippy fins! - The Mares Avanti Tre Superchannel fins were excellent! Comfortable and efficient at all kick styles. Only negative was that they were slightly large for my narrow heels. Have to wear 2mm wet socks on my 10.5 feet. Ordered the large and maybe a size smaller would be better. Should not be a problem for normal heels.

| Mares Challenge Full Foot Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Joy J. on 6/2/2008
Mares Challenge Snorkel fins - I recently ordered a pair of Mares Challenge Snorkel fins (full foot). They arrived very quickly and questions I had about my purchase were answered quickly and completely. Scuba.com has great service!
About the snorkel fins. If you are a girl, do not trust the "womens size chart" for the fins. Look at the mens size and subtract 2 sizes. The mens sizes are accurate.
These fins can give really good speed (I chased and caught up to a southern sting ray to take his picture). However, the flipper motion was awkward, at first. I used them in the pool before going snorkeling in order to build up calf muscle strength. Once you have the right size, they are comfortable and a good buy.
