Cressi Adult Short Light Swim Fins with Self-Adjustable Comfortable Full Foot Pocket - Perfect for Traveling - Agua Short: made in Italy

I received these fins in late May of 2017 and am only now writing a product review for them. Because I injured my back in March of 2017, I began swimming seriously for the first time in May of 2017. So I switched from trail running to swimming in order to keep getting good workouts while not putting too much stress on my body and back. I joined a masters swimming class in May and ordered these fins at the same time; I now swim three to four times per week, and fins are an important part of our workouts. It's now January 3rd, 2018, and I've had over seven months to use these fins and see how they perform over time. At first, I was completely enamored with these fins. I usually wear a size 9 to 9 1/2 and ordered a size 8 1/2 to 9 1/2, which fit perfectly and was very comfortable. The design appealed to me as well. They appeared to be cool to me. ) The shoe inserts (as seen in the photos) helped to maintain the fin's foot shape, so I never had a problem with fit. That being said, the fins began to warp over time. And now they have a serious forward bend in them (see picture) and as a result, they are very ineffective. Basically, Furthermore, the back kick motion combined with the warp is tearing the fin apart, as evidenced by one of the main support seams on the bottom of the fin tearing in the photo. br>br>Unfortunately, what began as a well-fitting and effective fin has now devolved into an ineffective and failing, faulty fin. These swim fins are not something I would recommend. It was a huge let down.

The Cressi Adult Light Short Swim Fins were of excellent quality. I'm an eight-year-old girl who wears a size eight. A woman's shoe size 5 or 9, depending on the situation. As a result, I compared it to the 8-digit number. I ordered the 9-inch woman's sizing option as a backup. The woman's size is 10; the 8-year-old girl's size is 8-year-old girl The 9-cressi was too small for my feet, and the 9-cressi was too big for my feet. My big toes peeked out onto the ridge of the open toed fin's top ridge, making 10 a tight fit. PROS: It's well-made, has no odor, is light and small, and is reasonably priced. CONS: The item's dimensions are smaller than they appear on the website. For this Cressi product, order a size up. I'm looking forward to swimming in the 9-meter pool next week. During my cruise, I saw ten different sizes of fins! PS: These fit perfectly in the bottom of my snorkeling backpack, which I purchased from Amazon as well. They're at the bottom of the bag, separated from the dry clothes/items section. This product is something I would recommend; just make sure you get the correct size.

I bought these for a trip to Belize because I didn't want to bring a full-size bag because it would be too heavy to carry. I'm not sure why they haven't received more positive feedback. They are my favorite. My legs are a little tired from trying them out, but they are very comfortable on my very wide feet! They scooted me across the pool and into the lake pretty well, so maybe the ocean will make a difference. Much more comfortable than walking around barefoot! If necessary, I will update my review following my trip. You will receive exactly what you see. I did try another pair of short fins, but they were terrible! These are contoured to your foot thanks to the rubber. The other ones were made of a harder plastic that irritated the wider points of my foot. So, if you, like me, have wide feet and want to travel with fins, look no further. Take a look at them and see if they're right for you.

I chose these because they are comfortable and light to walk on. I'm not sure if their sizes run large because I ordered my shoe size and it didn't fit, so I ordered a smaller size as a replacement and it fit perfectly.

Our three-person family owns a variety of fins, including Mares, Malaysia rubber floaters, Cressi, and a few from China. Comparing models is difficult. br>I've never been a fan of straps, and some people despise heel pockets. br>FACT Heel pockets can be difficult to size, but once you do, you'll notice a significant difference in grip. If it's too loose, add a sock; if it's too tight, it'll hurt. br>FACT Straps look great with neoprene socks, but socks make you look ridiculous anywhere that isn't a serious dive spot. Har! br>br>These were bought for diving in Central Florida's cave openings of freshwater springs. br>There is a lot of current, but there isn't always enough room to turn around. Other than the hole, it was mostly shallows, so I needed something short. br>Crowded with people who stare at you strangely, or at least at the non-staring non-staring non-staring non-staring non-staring non-staring non-staring non-staring non-staring non-staring non-staring none Equipment that is standard. br>br>These fins are adequate, not exceptional. br>br>Rubber is the perfect consistency, neither squeaky nor too soft. br>It has a very nice appearance, with no traces of Frogman! br>They are small enough to fit in a small bag. It is no longer fashionable to travel with a duffel bag. br>I'm not sure about the plastic fins; they FEEL like they'll break. My feet were hitting the rocks while tubing down the river, and I wasn't sure the fins would make it. br>We've all broken a lot of plastic, but a rubber model might be unbreakable. br>The stroke is a lot stiffer than a rubber fin's, but I'll get used to it. br>Aldi had very similar fins for $17 with a mask and snorkel. br>br>I'm not sure this was the right set for me; I wasn't disappointed or enamored with it. Ichetucknee Springs State Park and Rainbow Springs are both highly recommended. br>Because the water is always the same temperature, it is best to visit WHEN SCHOOL IS IN SESSION.

I wasn't sure what to expect from my first short fins, let alone my first Cressi fins, but after using them on several trips, I'm very pleased. They're ideal for snorkeling and swimming in the ocean. They were comfortable to wear, with no rubbing or pinching, and my feet felt secure without slipping off in the water. A 7 is my usual size. I'm a size 5 or 8, with a slightly wider foot, and the sizing chart fit me perfectly. They're lightweight and simple to pack, as well as simple to put on and take off. The shorter fins are also easier to maneuver in than the longer fins. I'm also a fan of the blue hue. I'm so glad I bought these because they're exactly what I've been looking for.

I decided to buy the size 35/36 (2. ) after reading all of the reviews and carefully measuring my feet. 5). My foot is exactly 23 centimeters in circumference. I'm a size 6 because my heel to the top of my big toe measures 5 cm. I compared the size charts on several different websites and came to the conclusion that I needed the 35/36 US Women's shoe size. It fits me PERFECTLY, which means I could probably wear my snorkeling booties with it and be fine. I'll try to update once I've had a chance to try them out.
