US Divers Adult Trek Travel Fins, Compact Design, Comfortable Lightweight Adjustable Snorkling Fins for Men and Women, (Unisex - S/M/L)

Love these fins. I was kind of skeptical about how they would work and feel, but I was pleasantly surprised. I used these on 2 recent snorkeling trips. I got the small size since I usually wear a 7.5 shoe. My heel extends a bit beyond the foot pocket so I was unsure, but once in the water, I couldn't believe how comfortable and effective these fins were. I did not have any issues with rubbing or discomfort at all. I tested snorkeling with and without the fins, and they definitely made a big difference. The straps were easy to adjust; no issues. These fins fit great in the US Divers Coast Backpack Bag that I also bought from Amazon and the yellow color perfectly matches the US Divers Luxe Purge Grenada XL Snorkel set also from Amazon. I opted to buy the fins separately from the snorkel set because I wanted a better mask and snorkel than came with the set that was bundled with the fins.

Bought these for a cruise where we had lots of snorkeling excursions planned. Been using fins of various kinds for almost 4 decades. I was totally surprised at how well these fins performed. So much easier to pack away. Perfect length for being careful around sensitive ocean flora. Note: The strap keepers would not hold tightly. The ends of the straps have loops which I was able to hold together using zip ties during the cruise. Later I just replaced the heel strap with neoprene and velcro types from an old pair of flippers. I still think they're great.

Have now had these fins for 4 years and they are a quality purchase. They’ve come with on countless snorkel adventures in various ocean conditions. They’ve been strapped to a kayak, stuffed into a carry-on Osprey Porter 46 back pack, and tossed into a beach bag for a quick swim. They rinse clean from sandy, salty, and chlorine swims.Size Small fits 4-7 shoe sizes. The adjustable heel strap is easy to tighten while swimming and easy to put on right at the shoreline. I’ve even had to remove these while holding onto the side of a kayak and that’s been quick.Highly recommend if you can get a well-manufactured pair!

Overall, I liked these flippers a lot. I used them for a week-long snorkeling trip in the Bahamas and was pleased with the results.Pros:1. Easy to transport. Compact size makes them easy to carry, especially if flying. I was able to take them in my carry-on.2. Easy to walk in. Walking forward in flippers is usually impossible, but you can in these!3. Easy to take on/off. The short length and quick-tighten straps makes these easy to manage when you're getting pounded by waves in the surf zone. They're also easy to quickly adjust while swimming.4. Comfortable. The rubber heel strap cinches on both sides making them highly adjustable.5. Wide size range. I have W size 7 feet and got the small which fit great, and they also worked on someone with much larger feet than my own. This also means that you should probably wear them with swim booties though.Cons:1. Require more energy to swim. It makes sense that since these are compact flippers, they have less surface area and thus aren't as effective as larger flippers. The question is, how much less effective are they than bigger flippers? I definitely needed to work harder to get around in these. However, I'm not a very strong swimmer, and for the most part short swims in calm to moderately choppy water were fine. On longer swims though it was pretty exhausting using these flippers, especially when the tide was going out. I would have felt much safer in larger fins that were more energy-efficient.Overall, these were excellent fins. If you're only using them in a pool, calm water, or for short snorkels, or if you're a confident swimmer they are great, but if you're doing something more involved you might want to consider standard-sized fins.

And when strapped on, the stylish little lip that they put on the toe window is extremely uncomfortable, digging in to the bed of the nails. Sure, I could wear neoprene booties, and be more comfortable. These are such a practically small size you can walk in them which is ideal for river snorkeling.

These are really adjustable. I am a women's size 9 1/2 and bought the medium size. I can wear them over bare feet or with a diving sock or even over a pair of light reef booties, which is really great when snorkeling off a beach in Hawaii where there are big waves and sharp rocks. The adjustment mechanism is different from the actual buckle that clips the strap to the fin, so I could adjust the fins to fit over my booties while on the beach, carry the fins out past the breakers without cutting up my feet, and then slip the fins on over my booties in deep water. My old fins were too tough for me to put on once I was out in the ocean so I would have to put them on at the beach and back into the waves, which was not ideal when the waves got more than a few feet high.I also found that I like the size. Not only are they easy to pack and tote around in a day pack, but the size enables me to move through the water for hours while snorkeling without getting the sore muscles I used to get using my longer divers fins.

I have ordered various flavors (from various mfgs) of these fins over the years for myself and my family members. I typically use them for snorkeling on family vacations, work, etc. which is about 2x / year. This purchase totally worked as expected. I rinse these off with fresh (not salty) water after using them in case there are any metal components underneath the buckles (metal springs). My last pair (purchased 8 or so years ago) is still working just fine, but my kid took them. I hope this pair lasts as long. I wear a size U.S. 10 shoe, and ordered a 'medium' pair. They are snug but work just fine. I am a 'backpacker' and tend to travel light so this is a good size.

Great pair of fins. I have yet to use them in the water but wearing them around the house feels comfortable and lightweight.Edit: I've used them and they're great but the straps on the back come loose very often.

Solid quality, heavier than expected. Will provide update when i've used them in the water but they fit well with fin socks (bought on amazon for $5) and i didnt notice the back band sliding. I am a size ladies 7.5, but my husband is a mens 10 and even he could get these on and make them work.

Son más cortas que las aletas tradicionales de snorkel pero se compensa por ser más anchas, por lo que tienen un excelente desempeño y son mucho más fáciles de transportar en un viaje, en lo personal las recomiendo mucho.

I use this in my condo pool to do laps. it makes the workout more effective and more fun. Love these

Comfortable, wide toe, soft pliable fit!
