Questions & Answers

Melanie C : Are these soft or hard fins?AHMED E : I use them for free diving only. They are soft fins. I would only recommend them for free diving not scuba.SCOTT B : I would say there are hard but not as hard as some of my friends fins.FRANSISCO N : The pocket of these fins are traditional soft rubber . The blades are a technopolymer (plastic) .Designed for free diving but very comfortable for snorkeling also, if you don't mind the longer length . For scuba you might bump the reef a bit just be aware of what your fins are touching . Or just stick with a regular fin although these are super kool .Jorge C : I think they are medium stiffness. When I first started using them they felt stiff but after getting used to them they felt softer.SCOTT S : The ones I have are fairly stiff till I get in the warmer water where I dive, it seems to soften them up quite a bit.
Ying-Ku L : My footsize is 250mm. Which size is Best?YAN G : More than likely a size 38.
GREG T : what is overall length fin?GENRUNDYNE A : 30 inches ...I wear a size 4-5FRANSISCO N : From heel to tip its 36 inches . From toe to to tip its 24 1/2 inches. The fins I have are size 10-12. ...Good power and comfort but not as long as the othersALFREDO P : 35.5 inchesFELIX A : 35 in.Malachi E : 36" from tip to heel. Blade length 25".ABDALLAH Y : hugeSCOTT B : 36"
Shopper : Are these fins detachable for travel?Klaus K : No, you can carry them in a long bag.SCOTT B : noSTAN C : No..I used them on a trip for whale sharks and needed a special bag. I am willing to sell them both since I do not need them anymore StanChristopher C : No they are not. They are one piece fins.SCOTT S : I don't think so, I've never tried to take them apart, I have a 54" travel bag that carries my speargun, fins, mask, and wetsuit. so I've never even thought about it... I'll look closer at them tonight and if they do break down, I'll modify this post.ALFREDO P : No. they are fix they dont come a partTHOMAS A : No they aren't detachable. I freedive spearfish a lot and these fins are the best I've ever had... Zero complaints
Shopper : Can I use this for snorkeling?Kyle B : Definitely going to want something shorter and more stiff for snorkelingMARGARITA D : Yes, it is great for snorkeling and spearfishing.JOSHUA T : A shorter fin would perform better for surface swimming, snorkeling. This fin works better at depth.GENRUNDYNE A : You can. They are longer in length (35 inches) so you don't have to work maybe quite as hard to propel yourself forward.DWAYNE L : I don't see why not. I'm a novice freediver, and I spend more time on top looking around than actually diving.LEVI M : yes they will work for free diving, snorkeling and scubaCarmen S : Actually yes. This fins are gonna give you more power in your kicking but you have to improve you swimming skills because you've got to keep fins within the water all time, remember these are long fins wich means at beginning more effort to you if you take them out of the water. No doubt these are a grear option once you get used to it. Greetings and I hope this info helps you.

Another fine product from Mares

Great fins

Great fins, very comfortable. I don't wear booties with them and have used them for 5-10 days straight on multiple trips. No problems whatsoever. I like that they are green so that I can easily distinguish between mine and others on the boat. I called leisure pro about sizing and whether to make room for booties/socks. They advised no socks/booties and which to order (I was right between sizes). They were very helpful and their advice was perfect. Thanks again!

Great for speed

Is really good for speed stopping and starting and turning is not the best but that's to be expected. Overall I'm happy with the purchase it was a great deal. Buy at between one to two sizes down from shoe size.

like expected

As most freediving fins size is for using with socks. I am Euro 42 ordered Euro 42-43 fits perfect with 3mm socks and even my 5mm winter socks.

Great fins!

They fit well barefoot, but using 3mm socks is a little tight. I was worried about chaffing during long snorkeling days but they do not chaff. Great buy!

Good Fins

Very nice design great value . I own many Mares products and these fins are a great . The pocket on these fins run a bit large so I must compensate by wearing neoprene socks . Thank you LeisurePro for having some products at a decent price point . And don't forget the great service and fast shipping ......

Very good fins, the best ones

They are very flexible, just the exact length for traveling, snorkeling, chilling in the sea, or be more professional. I would absolutely recommend this ones!

Great free dive fins

These are very good free dive fins. I prefer these to other long blades I have had. Light, great foot pocket. I wear a 10 1/2 shoe and the 42-43, 8-9 is the proper fit for me.
