Shopper : Can the heel straps be replaced with a universal strap, in the event that they wear out or break?darrick c : Hello, yes.
Shopper : How do these hold up in currents?ENID T : I don't own these fins. I have the Mares Avanti Quattro +.Mario C : It is efficient for its size. would recommend as a light weight travel snorkel / easy current scuba fin.ALYSSA A : I would not recommend these for currents. For anything stronger than snorkeling or light surface swimmingly, they break. I used mine on fewer than 6 light-current open ocean dives before the strap snaps fell off. I ended up returning them because within 15 dives all of the pieces had fallen off.
AMY R : The description says - can be used barefoot twice but no mention of boots. Can they be used comfortably with 5 ml boots?'DEBRA W : Yes, I always wear boots under mine. It works perfectly.
Timothy W : total length of this fin (say, size medium)?Mario C : The XL i have here in the store is 23 1/2 total length. would assume the Medium/Large to be +21 1/2 - 22 1/2.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?STORMY M : scubaMs. Gary S : Love my Mares booties and a friend who dives a lot recommended Mares fins. Got quick answers online to my questions.SARAH B : I love the bungee straps and these are a great pairGREGORY R : Because of the Bungee Straps. I had broken one of my rubber straps on a dive trip and the dive shop fixed it with bungee cord and some wire. It made it so easy to remove the fin. I still have the fin now 3 years but lost the other one because it was hard to remove and it slip out of my hand on a drift dive in Aruba. I hope these are as good a my fix fin one was.
