CRESSI Gara Modular Impulse Fins - 12/13

Excellent long fins for freediving. footpockets are very comfortable. I typically wear US 9.5 shoes for a near perfect, snug fit. I got the US 9/10 fins and they are a bit loose. They come with filler inserts and I use those but it's still not quit snug enough for optimal biomechanical thrust efficiency. I usually use wetsuit socks in addition to the inserts and it makes for a snug, cozy fit. They could be the teensiest bit more snug, just to squeeze maybe a single digit percent more thrust efficiency out of them, but i dive springs and I wayyyy prefer teensy bit loose to, too tight for wetsuit socks and or chafing/ fatigue from squeezing all dive session. Get these fins!!! You can upgrade them to carbon later!!!! The water rails likely help with thrust all that much more.

Cressi really never disappoints. The fit on the foot pockets is perfect and the fins are great. Easy to dive with and they are perfect for beginners. If you are looking to start diving and want some beginner fins, these work well and will hold up. I think the price is right for plastic fins. If you go with other materials, expect to pay more.

YouTuber videos are right that if you heavier 200lbs you might want to switch to a stiffer paddle. Workers really well and I'm 215lbs with very wide foot thats always been a problem and I was totally happy without the boot inserts. Only problem I had was trying to get under the first 15ft were I wish they had more snap. But worked great on leg fatigue swimming out from shore on the surface cruizing around until I saw something to dive down on. If I was on a boat dropping in then I like the fact I have the options with these of changing out my blades that are safer for shore dives for a stiffer more expensive carbon fiber or longer ones with less rusk of damage. Cool callout logos but they do scratch easily, but who really cares if they work and get you down.

My experience was good. I ordered my regular size and it didn’t work for me, I returned the fins and ordered smaller size. I’m in love! Very comfortable and they works well in the water.

New to snorkeling after years of open water swimming with no additional propulsion devices. Thes made exploring fun, and provided great speed and agility to a whole new experience I am thrilled to have discovered.

I wear a true 9 (womens) and I had to size down to a 7/8.. I originally ordered my size and they were huge. I wear them with the cressi 1.5 mm neoprene socks and they fit perfectly.

Have not tried these fins on the water yet but they feel and look like they will perform well. They do run a little big on the size but with the Hammerhead 2mm socks the fit is perfect; not to tight, not to loose.

They are everything I hoped for. They are a good mix of flex and firm. I definitely have increased my propulsion. My husband is jealous.

Excelentes aletas, aunque quedaron un poco grandes, se soluciono con unos zapatos de neopreno.

This has been my first ever pair of freediving fins. A lot of people say these are as good as in gets in terms of plastic fins, I can see why. I wanted plastic as I have heard fiberglass and carbon are more easily scratched/damaged, and I am clumsy.I have to say, these are beautiful. As someone who has little diving experience, unpacking these from the box for the first time was surreal. They are quite handsome and function just as beautifully, though I am not qualified to compare to other freediving fins. I can say that these were better than freediving without fins. They feel wonderfully powerful, a couple dolphin kicks practically launch you halfway across the pool. Though when you aren't used to them, they definitely tire you out faster than no fin diving.Overall I am very happy with these as my first freediving fins. I think they will be perfect for learning the techniques. Will eventually upgrade to fiberglass.Don't make the same mistakes I did. These particular fins fit really large and have really flexible footpockets - Go a size smaller. I am size 11, ordered size 12/13, didn't fit, even with 3mm socks. Had to purchase 5mm boots just to get fins to fit. Now they are a perfect fit with the boots and feel very comfortable. Wasn't what I intended, but it worked out perfectly, as I intend to eventually use these for cold water freediving.

Tutto in ordine e pronte all’uso 🏆

si las utilizas sin escarpines son entre 2 - 3 tallas menos de lo que calzas habitualmente.

I followed the advise of other reviews and ordered one size down from my shoe size and they fit great. Very comfortable bare foot.
