Questions & Answers
I'm a size 13 and chose the XL size. I believe L was ten years old at the time.
I am a size eight. I chose a small out of a total of five options. They are adjustable and should fit a 7 to 8 year old child. 8 is perfect.
Tusa's website has a size chart, and I ordered the medium because I wear a women's size 9 shoe. They are a good match. I also purchased spring straps in a small size.
I wear a size 10 and they appear to run a little large. I usually wear a size 5 shoe, but I went with a medium with a 3 mil bootie because I think I could wear a 5 or 7 mil and still be comfortable. If you plan on doing cold water diving, the larger size may be preferable.

Sizes appear to run large, so go down a size. Fins are fantastic. In a swimming pool, I tried a few different styles and these were by far my favorite paddle fins. Strong but lighter than some of the same size (or larger) that are also very effective in the water. I ordered mediums for myself and my daughter (women's shoe sizes 8 and 9) and they were far too big for our 5 mm boots; the toe end had far too much empty space that would simply carry water. I reordered the size small instead because it was easy to return. The small is ideal for both of us. Consider going down a size from the size chart's recommended size. When the light hits them, the red metallic shimmers beautifully, which I love because it will help me keep an eye out for my daughter/diving buddy underwater.
It's a little uneasy. These flippers allow you to go really fast because they are stiff, and if you kick hard enough, you can go really fast. I love them. I'm almost twice as fast as I was with my previous pair of softer fins, which cost $45 at the time. It's fantastic that you've been able to overcome the currents. The only criticism I have is that the foot pocket is enormous and does not closely resemble the shape of a human foot. The toe shape is sharply rounded as if your middle toe is way further out than all other toes, so if you tighten them snugly, your big toe crams into one side and your smaller toes are inches from the end. I had to return and order a size smaller than usual (despite wearing booties), and the toe shape is sharply rounded as if your middle toe is way further out than all other toes, so your big toe cra If you don't cinch them too tightly, it won't be too bad. It's worth it to me because these things get you moving.
I haven't had the opportunity to test these in the open water yet, but they appear to be the best bang-for-your-buck in pool testing. for- the- I've never seen a buck fin like this. I've had better fins and I've had fins that were more expensive, but I've never had fins that were such a good value for the money. These are intended for amateur use. br>br> If you're a professional diver, they won't last 30 years because they're not super professional dive quality, they're not customized, and they won't last 30 years. BUT, having said that, for the inexperienced- They're basically the ideal entry fin for enthusiasts. They're adjustable, heavy-duty, and sized to fit over a pair of dive boots comfortably. br>br>The flex point was a little further toward the end than I expected, but after about 3-minutes, it wasn't a problem. It only takes 5 minutes to become accustomed to it. They work fantastically well in terms of propulsion, allowing for both speed and maneuverability, and they even match my snorkel and dive knife. br>br>I'd buy two if I could, but these will suffice.
There are way too many of them. Great product that is easier to swim with and provides a lot of power per kick. Just be aware that the size is odd; if you are a size 12 or smaller, the medium is the better option. I'm 11. 5 4e. And that's with a 5 million dollar budget. The large size of the hard bottom bootie is still a bit too big.
The fin is a medium-weight fin with a good price. Once you give them some muscle, the propulsion is fantastic, and I was very pleased with the performance and style. br>br>I wear a Mares 10 2mm boot and a Men's 11D shoe (athletic and dress). I went with a medium because I didn't think I'd need a large. They fit perfectly, with plenty of room to spare in case I need to wear a thicker boot.
I really like how they look and perform. I've used them for scuba and snorkeling a couple of times and would recommend them. The strap is well-made and has quick-release clamps. It's fantastic.
I learned to dive with a pair of Tusa Liberator X10s 35 years ago, and I thought they were fantastic. Finally, these were upgraded, and. . . They're fantastic, to be sure. I ordered the L/XL fins in a men's size 9; With 5mm booties, they're a little big on my feet, but I wanted to be able to wear 7mm hard sole boots in really cold water as well. These give me the freedom to do so. br>br>In the water, my performance is excellent; I can maneuver quickly and precisely while still having enough power to combat currents. I'm really happy with these fins, and if they break, I'm pretty sure I'd replace them with a pair that's exactly the same.
I have a shoe size of 12EEEE. These fins were purchased for a dive trip to Jamaica this summer, and they were worn with a pair of Mares 2mm booties. I've never had a pair of fins so comfortable. The only flaw I found was that good swimming technique is critical to hydrodynamic performance. They're absolutely fantastic when you find the sweet spot in terms of foot angle. They're just OK in terms of propulsive force if you're a little off the optimum. Nonetheless, I would strongly recommend these to anyone with large feet, such as myself. All they require is some practice.
