Aqualung Shot FX Open Heel Fins

Love these fins! They are lightweight and easy to kick. The spring strap is quite small/tight which can make it difficult to get them on and off in the water but it’s not a huge drawback. I wear a size 8 women’s shoe and wear these with 5mm boots. I got size S/M and they are just right

These fins fit with boots, are a good length, and I get the propulsion I need when I need it. They also work very well with the frog kick. The only downside, is at the end of my dive, the pressure on the top of my arch gives a feeling of "falling asleep". I do have high arches, combined with boots. I do not find this to be a problem during my dive.

I ordered Regular and they were too small but it was easy to send them back. The Large size fits great and are very easy to take on and off which was the most important feature to me because I do work in rough seas off a boat, doing multiple dives a day and need to be able to get in and off the boat fast.

These fins are awesome - extremely easy to put on and remove when getting back on the boat due to the spring-back design. Durable, powerful, flexible (but not too flexible) and worth every penny! I've had these for a couple years now and they're still fantastic, no rust or corrosion on the springs. I do always wear boots with them, even in warm water but that doesn't bother me at all. I'll likely purchase another pair in the future if they come out with a new model. A++

I love these fins, that's why I bought a second pair at a great price. Some people say they're to flimsy but I can swim pretty quick in these even against current.

I purchased these fins because they were smaller and had the pull on fin straps that my Mares Quattro did not. These fins are ok in normal circumstances. However in a strong current these fins are not very useful.

Great fins, you cannot go wrong with this one. Buy it is all I can say. They are light but still very strong.

I purchased these fins for a trip to Raja Ampat, but also wanted to be sure that they would fit me while cold water diving. I ordered a Size L, and they fit well with a 3mm bootie in the tropics as well as with my thick socks & boots in the chilly waters of Vancouver. These fins were excellent in the (sometimes intense) currents of Raja Ampat. They were easy to take on & off and also lightweight enough as I traveled around SE Asia for 6 weeks total with these in a backpack. I used to wear split fins when diving at home, as paddle fins hurt my knees (I have had 4 knee surgeries) - I am happy to report that these fins did not bother my knees at all. Highly recommended.

Purchased these based on input/reviews posted at leisure pro to replace my Mares Quattro closed fins to take to Grand Cayman (where I currently still am). Used once and had to borrow fins from dive master for rest of trip. VERY little backbone to these fins and spent way too much time fighting just a mind current to keep up with my dive companions. Should have stuck with Mares quattro closed heels. Will be returning these when I get home hopefully for a full credit towards the Mares. But I do like Leisure Pro for their excellent customer support!

I was so excited to have fins that didn't slip off while I swim! Plus the white makes them easy to find in the water.

Excellent. Came well packed. Lots of plastic. Not too green.

I love my new fins, they fit perfect and I can dive with more power and less effort.

Bought for Diving in heavy current. Love my Bio-fin split fins but not in current. These did the job. Have size 6.5 Wmns and they fit good. Not too to big like most. Easy to get on and off with straps that came with.

I have used these fins in Cozumel which is drift diving. They were very comfortable. I used them with a lava core sock and they slipped a bit on the heal but was not so bad that I had to abort the dive. I would recommend using with a less slippery sock or small boot. Overall loved the fins. The length is 24" from the heal to the end of the fin.

My wife just got these fins and has tested them in the pool. She is a novice and this is the first pair of good fins she has tried. She says that she needed to restrain her kick because they made the pool feel small. Since she is used to her Body Glove fins, I consider this a very good thing. We will be diving easy waters in the Caribbean next month and I'm confident these will work great. Her main hobby is ballroom dance and her legs are very fit.

Just returned from a week of diving in Cozumel. The fins were great in the current both doing dives and snorkeling. Enough stiffness without being too difficult to kick. I liked the size as well. Only problem was on one foot the spring heel strap was too tight. I got a blister. I am a size 6 shoe and fins are size small. I am going to see if there is a way to stretch the spring or make it just a little longer. I would even love the fin if I coild get a traditional strap.

Very comfortable fins, not to mention great looking as well! I am a womens size 8.5 and wear a size 7 boot with these, so the small fits well and snug. Very easy to get on and off when hanging off a boat!

I bought these for my girlfriend. According to the size chart she was in the Small size. The small worked but was just a little tight, exchanged them for the medium and couldn't be happier.
