I mostly snorkel and walk out in coral and I was hoping my water boots would fit inside my X-lg size fins. Not even close. I will need to buy some thin water socks to wear inside the fins now. Quality is good.

Nicer fins, but couldn't use it was on the small side for me. These run on the small size.

I purchased two pair of the fins for my kids. The oldest pair, and smallest, have been passed down and are going strong and will be passed down again. The fins are light weight and fit nicely with or without 3mm boots. The fins are being used for snorkel and SCUBA and seem to hit the mark on light weight and propulsion. I haven't tried an adult size yet so I can't comment on that.

I haven't been able to wear them yet, going USVI next week, but I know the Name and rep, so I know I'll be happy. The fit is a little more snug than I expected but I can wear dive socks rather than boots and be just fine... I love this shade of PINK!!!!

Just got like weeks ago and the delivery were right on time. I have tried in the pool since then. My size is 7 and the S/M fit me greatly with bare feet, maybe can wear socks too. If want to wear with boots I must order 1 size larger. So far I think this gives enough power for snorkeling and some shallow dives. For spearfishing and deeper free dive maybe I will need the Cressi Gara Professional LD one.

Had three pairs of these, used by my wife and kids. All three pairs developed tears in the rubber foot pocket where the strap attaches to the nub on either side. The nub itself is plastic but pulls on the rubber part, the tear starts right around the nub and then progresses further

Great easy travel snorkel/casual dive fins. They are lightweight and just fit into a carryon suitcase. Nice because you don't need any booties to go with if you get the right size. Nice rubber around foot had no issues with hotspots after a couple hours of snorkeling

Overall a good product just not powerful enough for scuba. I loved the pink color, to match the rest of my Cressi gear.

This is my second pair of Cressi fins, and I have been well pleased with both. My son will likely be buying an identical pair to these for our Florida trip As Always Liesure Pro is the best place to get my gear. They are always my first stop.

Received my Cressi Palau LAFs today. They are exactly was I was expecting. Lightweight, they look great. I was concerned after ordering that they would not accomidate a boot, but I used the sizing chart for Cressi and I think it will work out perfectly. Looking forward to my Open Water class Saturday!

size runs smaller than expected and long of the fin is shorter than expected

Too early here in New England to try, but they do fit my 12.5 size, though snug. Straps seem strong enough. I'm always impressed by CRESSI gear.

This is a fin that I use. It has a closed toe which I favor and no need for a sock. I also purchased a complete Cressi snorkel set for my wife as well my 12 year old daughter which is new to snorkeling. We have no complaints but if you buy the Cressi Set you should be advised that the Cressi mask Big Eye and Lince pushes the bottom of your nose and presses on your for head so that being the case we replaced my daughters and my reason for my purchase here.

Good fins for snorkelling, have not used them for SCUBA yet. Good effort to power ratio, and for the price are really good. Are quite stiff so long slow kicks work best or else you tire fast. Foot pocket is comfortable, can be worn with boots, socks or barefoot (although after 2-3 hours of barefoot your skin may hurt). All in all good fins, for the price can't be beat!

Had to return these as the foot pocket was way to small to accomodate a bootie. Appears to be made to only fit bare feet or dive sock.

This was my first fin as I bought it to complement my my Cressi Mask and snorkel (Occhio Plus E Corsica) which works excellent. I find the fin is a bit stiff and is difficult to swim above water when snorkeling. It works well underwater when freediving. The footpocket is too small and narrow for my feet. I use them barefoot and it was very tight. I wear size 13.5 and the fin size was XL.

Great Fins for snorkeling, I'm a novice and these worked well for me, lots of power and comfortable with socks. These were easy to travel with and weight was not an issue. These seem to be constructed well and I think I'll have these for a while.

Was told by sales person,this fin would fit with boots on, told her the size of the boot and she selected the size, it does not, unless maybe if you order a few sizes to large. It is comfortable with out boot,and probably true to size, but we snorkel a lot in areas where we need boots because of rock. My wife wears a size 6 womens boot and we ordered a M/L fin, boot doesn't fit in it.

Diving with these fins is great. They are really efficient. I had two problems. I couldn't use boots with them because space for foot is too narrow. And I lost one of the adjustable belts the first day. I don´t know what happened. But even witout a boot, they are very comfortable.

The adjustable heel strap is good for final size adjustment but kept slipping off my foot during use, regardless how tight i made it.

Cressi Palau LAF
By sly88er
These fins are a great snorkeling fin. They are light weight and very comfortable. Would highly recommend.
The Palau long adjustable fin opens the way for a type of snorkeling. The foot pocket could easily adapt to at least three or four consecutive foot sizes. The fins extreme comfort and an ease of fit even if it is to be worn barefoot. The fin assures extreme comfort and an easy fit, even to be worn barefoot. The result is a fin that is extraordinarily practical, that adapts to practically any foot and allows for very quick fitting in any situation.
The soft elastomer foot pocket is shaped for an ergonomic and comfortable fit.
With ribbed insole for an improved fit and a dramatically more efficient fin stroke.
Channel Thrust Technology system for optimal water channeling.
Blade material: Thermoplastic rubber / techno-polymers.
Quick release, quick-adjust buckle makes adjusting a snap.
ABS (Adjustable Binding System) Fin Buckles-one finger release.
The Palau Long Adjustable Fin (LAF) opens the way for a new type of snorkeling and swimming fin. It has been designed for two specific purposes. The first was to have a foot pocket that could easily adapt to at least three or four consecutive foot sizes. This would enable the same fin to be used by all the members of a family, or by a group of friends. It would also make it great for rentals in a diving center or on a charter boat, without requiring an infinite number of sizes. The second purpose was to guarantee extreme comfort and an ease of fit in a strapped open heel fin even if it is to be worn with bare feet. The result is a fin that is extraordinarily practical, that adapts to practically any foot size, and that allows for very quick fitting in any situation.
The blade is made from a lightweight, yet responsive material that assures a fluid and effortless kick, yet at the same time quite powerful. The fin blade extends from the top of the foot pocket for maximum surface area. The strap has a strong pull tab ring to allow quick reversal of the strap for ease of donning and doffing or to clip the fins to the body or equipment. The fin pocket is made from a soft elastomer for added comfort. Fins are available in multiple sizes and colors.
