Full Foot Fins

Explore Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins for superior propulsion & comfort. Lightweight, durable thermoplastic. Perfect snug fit. Shop now for ultimate performance!

The combination of Optimized Pivoting Blade system (OPB) and Super Channel Thrust technology make the Volo Race the perfect fins for divers who want to increase their kick efficiency with minimum effort. The use of OPB for controlling and optimizing the thrust angle, and Super Channel Thrust Technology for perfect routing of the water flow across the fin blade, make Volo Race the diver's choice. Rubber covered stabilizers provide improved performance. Divers and snorkelers alike will enjoy this easy kicking fin. The OPB allows the blade to maintain an optimal angle throughout the kicking cycle, whereas traditional fins achieve this only during a small portion of the cycle, OPB produces a constant thrust, which minimizes fatigue and produces fluid movement through the water. The Mares Volo Race also allows you to use alternate kick strokes not possible with splits fins.  The Volo Race Super-Channel is designed for the diver who wants the perfect blend of power and efficiency in one fin. The new blade design with a large central Super-channel and two traditional lateral channels provide excellent thrust while maintaining hi-efficiency and minimizing leg fatigue. The blade is constructed of Tecralene and Thermoplastic rubber for extended durability. Fin comes in multiple sizes and colors. The size 42/43 fin blade length is 14.6" (37cm), weighs 1.5 lbs. (680 g) and has a blade thrust area of 105.4 cubic inches (680 cubic centimeters). So, if high performance with minimal exertion, maximum comfort and exceptional light weight - a combination that makes diving more enjoyable, is what you want then Volo Race is what you want.

Mares Volo fins

I love the Volos. I have weak ankles and these don't make them hurt. I can glide through the water with ease.

Great purchase

Great looking fin, however quality is so bad. After about 70 dives I had to bin them. Please see the picture

Do not buy

I love these fins! They are stiff enough to give me a bit of speed when needed and the ability to swim backwards which didn?t work with my ScubaPro split fins.  They travel well too.  they are comfortable without socks and work on all the dives where I don?t have to do any shore walking.  I have the same model with back straps for when I do have to do shore walking.  Great product.

Great fins when full foot are appropriate.

Love these fins.  I was flying thru the water with little effort.

Wow!

Like other reviewers here, I have found the fin fails quickly.  The black flexible plastic detaches from the silver rigid stiffeners  that run the length of the fin.  This is a design flaw and is unworthy of the Mares brand and the $225 price tag.

Fin fails prematurely due to design flaw

Honestly, I didn?t think high of these fins when I got them, but they require minimal leg work for them to start propelling you in the water.  They?re lightweight.  What?s different about these for me is the fact that with little legwork you move through the water very quick.  However, if you try to overdue the kicking while wearing these, you?re gonna cramp. Just relax your legs and kick very minimally.  I tried these in a pool first, then into open water.  They do well in the current. Despite the price at first, they are worth it.  

The size is true to size.  I didn?t wear a sock while wearing these because I don?t think you need them. 

I would recommend these, or when the time is up, acquiring another pair.

Superb, lightweight fins.

Recently bought them as a gift, I have a pair that I bought from leisure back in 2006 and still works. At that time mares used to have production in Italy, but the new pair made in Bulgaria.

Mares Volo

I dive for Florida. Underwater repairs and maintenance. I’m in the water 3-4 times a week. I also free dive for scallops in the summer. These mares slip on fins are the best compromise for both environments. Added thrust over my last set. I recommend for recreational and commercial use. I admit some prejudice. 

Mares has been my gear choice for 40 years. ????

Mares Volvo Racers

I love these fins! I use them for snorkeling and diving. My dad and I have been purchasing this model for years. They are lightweight and just the right amount of flexible to propel you through the water with minimal effort.

Excellent!!

My friend had a pair and I thought they looked great so I tried hers and fell in love.  I bought them as soon as I returned from my diving trip.  I have used them in Cayman Brac, Socorro Islands and recently in Turks and Caicos and have been very pleased.  They fit great, work great, and come off very easily when I want to take them off with the little clip..  Just perfect for scuba diving!!

Loving Mares Volo Power!!

Very nice set of fins, can’t wait to use them!

Took them on my trip to Bonaire and was very pleased  - good fit and well made

Very Nice Fins

Wow.  I have been using a pair of fins that are as stiff as a 2x4.  When I bought them 20+ years ago, that was okay, but now, even though I am in really good shape, I find them just too stiff (58 years old 180 # male).  I have been reading the reviews on these fins for years (all great) and had a strong recommendation from one of my friends who has a pair.  Finally decided to take the plunge and am I glad I did.  Just got back from a diving vacation in the BVI.  These fins are incredible.  Comfortable as slippers with unbelievable power.  My diving partner commented on this.  Also, my air consumption went down as I was doing much less effort to move than before.  FYI, I used a size 9 Ocean Quest 5mm Premium Super-Stretch Titanium Medium Sole Dive Boots

Wow is all thatI can say

I had to teturn the fins due to a defect in one of the fin blades. They were on back order, had to purchase them somewhere else. The fins I bought somewhere else were the exact same ones. They are some of the best fins I have owned todate. Bought my wife a pair. Leisurepro's return process is one of best customer oriented and simple processws that I have ever worked with. I purchased other items from Leisure pro. Really like the mares-volo fins.

Leisure pro and mares-volo fins.

I have BOTH the open-foot and full-foot version of these fins.  I prefer full-foot when possible, but shore diving and other circumstances require booties.  The simpler Mares fins are just about as good.

Been using Mares Fins for many years.

Good Value for the money.  eliminated leg and foot cramps.  They travel well and are durable.  The flex technology gives you an easy kick, with plenty of thrust.

Good Value for the money

I really enjoy having these fins (flippers!!!). I have about 70 scuba dives in the last year and a half and all of the have been with my "snorkel fins." Those are full foot too. I got a chance to try on my buddy's open foot fins and I despise them. Even with booties on, the hard foot box is so uncomfortable, and you never feel like your foot is in the right place. So I knew if I wanted a "true" scuba fin I was going to have to pick from the full foot ones available.

For some reason, after reading tons of articles and consumer reviews, I gravitated to the Mares Volo Race. I was able to pick the correct size by trying them on at a local dive shop. They are a hint looser than my other fins but they still felt like a good fit. I was worried about rubbing on my feet while using them but there is none of that. The foot is verysecure while still feeling comfortable! And now, the benefit of these fins-they drive significantly harder than my other fins. Thank God because that is what I bought them for! 2-3bkicks now launches me forward where I would have had to continously kick with my other fins.

Some other thoughts: I searched for a fin that would give me the benefits I wanted but still be packable in my 30" suitcase. The blades on these are slightly wider and maybe an inch longer than my other fins. They just fit in my suitcase lengthwise. There isn't much of a weight difference, even though these are built more robustly. I also like the yellow color I chose. I looked at the "white" ones. They are actually a more grayish-light blue, or silver. I just liked the yellow.

The hardest part was trying to figure out which fins to choose, considering they are all different designs and shapes. For me, these kind of grew on me in the stores and I finally took my other fins in one day and laid them on top of each other to try to discern if the Mares were different enough to be worth taking a chance on. And at the end of the day, the reasonable price got me off the fence and I bought a pair.

After about 5 dives and some snorkeling with them, i think my legs have made the adjustment. I love them!

Good luck!

Finally, my own real SCUBA fins!

Fin is light weight yet perfect for snorkel or scuba and not bulky at all

Perfect fin , bought another pair as back up

Well made fin, no fatigue reguardless of speed, Best Fin Ive used

volo race full foot

These fins are amazing! I swim in open water near reefs with varying currents. With the Mare fins I feel like I can swim against any current. I like them so much Iâ??ve already bought a pair for my mother and three other pairs for friends. I recommend them to anyone I know who uses fins. One friend said she never could use fins without getting foot cramps. After swimming with the Mare Volo Race Foot Fins she became a convert. Iâ??m between sizes. The 38/39 were just a tad snug so I had to go up to the 40/41. I were neoprene socks to avoid blisters.

Best fins ever!

Love the fins so far. I exert a lot less effort than with my split fins. I purchased the bungee straps one size larger than usual per the recommendations of many on the reviews. 

Love the fins

I am a professional diver and have to work in a variety of conditions. Strong current, weak current, you name it I work in it. These fins are okay if you're in super shallow water with no current in my opinion. Strong current kills this product. I was working in stronger current for a few hours today and I had to kick so fast to get anywhere. Not a good product for a SERIOUS diver.

Awful fins

Excellent travel fin with great thrust. I live in a cold water climate, but got these to do some tropical diving and was very pleased. The foot is plenty wide and comfortable and the fin fits true to size.

Good light weight full footed fin

I purchased these fins after extensive research for a trip to Bonaire. I am 9/9.5W. I purchased the fins in size small. They fit perfectly with my dive boots. The heel straps were easily adjustable. I didn't cramp at all during my one week trip (with multiple dives daily). The yellow looks very cool and the fins are light(er) weight. I definitely recommend these fins!

Mares Volo Power Open Heel Fins

I am an ocean swimmer and look for fins that provide more thrust than just dead weight of most fins. First thing to consider is weight  and these fins are light.  A big plus. To heavy and they tire you out. Thrust comes when a fin flexes and then snaps back. I cut five inches off the end because in my opinion it's just to soft. This enables the fin to really pop. 
These do run big as I am size 13 but 11-12 fit perfect. No flex to the foot pocket is a must and these don't flex. Very nice.

I've been scuba diveing now for over 40yrs. Iam NAUI AND PADI cirt.diver I've had several different  fins over the years.
I was visiting a scuba shop in southern fl. And they showed  me these fins I thought they look kinda weird  but I tried them in the shops swimming dive pool Wow! I had to hardly   kick at all and the performance  of these fins blew me away!!!!  These are my second set my first set of fins my first set  were stolen. The first thing I did was look these fins up when I was replacing my Dive equipment.  TRY THEM YOU WILL LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!

Best fins ever made bar none!

I love these fins and have a few pairs .
I love the ease of kicking and the ability to do any kick styles (frog,scull, regular) .
I can also do a 360º turn on a dime using only one fin .
The only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is the plastic stiffener separates from the rubber on the fin tip after a couple hundred dives .
To be fair, I am a photographer and am very hard on gear .

best fins I have ever dove

My wife had a love hate relationship with diving.  She loved what she was seeing but hated trying to keep up with dive groups and really disliked some pushes against the flow.  So before our trip to Couzmel I bought her a pair.  Let's just say when I get home I will be ordering another pair.  For me.  These are awesome.  I was not once today looking behind me to see my wife.  Or yesterday.  So much for problems keeping up or wearing out from too much effort.  Just order them.

Game Changing

Okay I love these fins so much I am ordering my second pair.  I use them for diving and snorkeling (which I can do for hours), my only disappointment is that I have to replace them, because they split around where the word Mares is imprinted in the fin.  I think they would still be working if not for that.   Yes a bit bulky, but they are so powerful I just love the feeling of swimming with these.  I think I must of had them 6 or 7 years.  I am very diligent about rinsing my gear and keeping it out of the sun.
