Questions & Answers

Linda B : will they float if you take them off while getting out of the ocean? A lost fin can give a ruined vacationJOE S : Yes they float Hold on to your fins
Dorothy H : Size chart is confusing. I wear a ladies size 8 shoe. What size should I order? I am guessing that the sizes are shown in men's. ThanksCYNTHIA W : I no longer have those, but I did get a pair of mares, which were better. I wear a womens 9 1/2 and got a mens 7`1/2-8 1/2 size. If that helpsSHANNON M : I agree...the size chart is confusing. My fins are size 6-7, and I wear 7 to 7.5. I would suggest going with size 7-8. I'm not sure these fins are sized in "men's" sizes and think they would be small for most men, especially in width.
K P : Looking at Ocean Vortex V-6 fins in the pink. What size is appropriate for a woe's 10?YAN G : Probably a 7-8, but you would need to try them on to confirm size.
Shopper : I wear a woman's size 10. What size should I order?WALID N : The product was great. I had honestly used it five six different times before I gave it to my brother. I really enjoyed it but I just felt I needed a longer size fins just do to my height (6 2) and depths I do. I would recommend it this product to own. Walid!JUNE H : I recommend size 7-8.
James W : Are the sizes men's or women's ? Do they run true to shoe size ?Cat L : The fins and booties sizes are in men size, a men size 7 is a women's size 9, so add 2 to the men size and that will be your women size. There is no such thing as an unisex size, for men and women sizes are different.Leona H : The sizes are unisex and run true to size. I wear a size 7 1/2 B women's shoe. I used both the small and medium size vortex - the small when I don't wear socks, and the medium when I do.AUDREY O : The sizes are men's sizes. I wear a 6.5 and I ordered a size 4 - 5 in these fins. Good luck!RALPH H : I wear a 9 to 9.5 shoe and got the 7-8 size fin. Fits perfectSTEVE F : Men's and yes prity true to size,JOHN M W : Men's and close.JUNE H : These are men's sizes. They fit true to size. For women's you will need to go 2 sizes down. GREG G : Men's and true to fit for size 11, but a bit narrow for my E feet

After 8 years...

Ive had these fins for eight years now and I take them on my spearfishing weekends when I need to pack light. I spearfish in reef areas and I access them through the beaches on foot. I have a pair of Mares razor pro which evidently give me greater thrust but these are reliable, light and durable.

V-6 Vortex fins

These are the best flippers I ever used for fresh water. They feel comfortable and give me a lot of thrust with very little effort.

great travel fins too!

I bought these in Hawaii on a whim, looking around Captain Jack's Dive Locker ( a great store) in Kailua while my wife looked for a snorkeling vest. Never looked back; great fins, light, easy to maneuver, easy on/off, comfortable. I've never used them diving, so can't say, but for snorkeling and a little easy free-diving they're great. They're also good travel fins, MUCH lighter than the other full-foot split fins I've seen. They're a little long, can't get them in my suitcase so I bought a fin bag to carry on the plane. BTW, I bought the open heel version of these and they were WAY too heavy. Kona entries are rocky, so I'm waiting for a lightweight pair of open heel split fins to come along, but for now, I just tough it out on the rocks. These fins are worth it!

Love em'

I'm a womens size 9 and the 7/8 size fits perfect on me. I've used my first set over 50 times (snorkel/skindive/scuba) and highly recommend these fins. They're very comfortable, durable, and make my speed impressive. They stir up little sediment and greatly reduce leg cramps compared to other styles I've used. I love these fins so much I'm planning to order a second pair in another color :) A+

Very pleased

I purchased these fins for each of my daughters who have been certified for about two years. They both liked the ease of getting into them and the fit. They didn't feel any fatigue in their legs and thought they propelled them through the water as needed. They were great for scuba diving and snorkeling.

Nice travel fin

A nice fin. I bought these for traveling and they work great. The boot sits low so I don't have it rubbing against my ankle like some other fins. Overall very happy with them.

Great fins but the sizing is deceptive

Great fin for calm conditions. Does not wear you out. Only con for this product is the sizing and it is a good size off. Should be noted before people order to prevent having to ship back.

All you could ask for

Very efficient in the water, a great fin can extend your range and time in the water no matter how good a swimmer you are. These did just that. Excellent fins. I wear a size 9.5 mans shoe, [...] recommended a 7/8 and they fit perfect.

Fantastic Fins!!

Bought these fins specifically to complete the PADI Divemaster Watermanship 800 yard snorkel fin. I completed it in an amazing 12 minutes flat! These fins rock. Left my other fins and booties at home when I dived Grand Cayman. In 12 dives, never chafed or caused discomfort. Also significantly improved my air consumption. These fins knocks the sox off of my $175 Mares Quattro Excels and Mares Avanti Quattros! Will consider the the Oceanic V8 open heal fins (similar to these) for colder water dives. I now exercise with these fins daily in the pool.

Great Sport Fins

These fins work great, just like their larger cousins. I now own them both, one for pool work and snorkeling and the larger ones for diving and I love them both. I'll never go back to non split fins again!

Ok Fins

Sized too small, would need next size up. Unfortunate it does not go larger that 11-12.

Awesome fin!!!

I live on the Big island of Hawaii and I always dive the Kona side. The fins perform excellent in majority of all conditions. I perfer these over my 3ft. long dive fins for all around use. the only time my 3ft. long dive fins are better is for diving down 50+ feet depths. Otherwise I would always prefer the oceanic V-6's beause they go just as fast with same effort. I've already purchased 4 sets of full-foot fins and these are definitely the best set of fins I own, period! An FYI - when purchasing fins, it's very important to get the right fins by determining the way you kick :)

Glad I bought them ...

At 6'3" and 225 pounds, I needed a full foot fin for scuba that had more power than my "snorkel" fins. I was leery of buying these, but they were a good choice. I can flutter, frog, scull, just about any kick with these. Light and comfortable besides.
