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

Exactly what I wanted, helps in my swimming workout, fits good, help me move through the water faster and have better form

Perfect for snorkeling. Great small size.

These are shorter and stiffer than expected, but good for pool use. Sizing was correct--didn't order smaller as some others had recommended.

A previous buyer helped me understand the sizing, as that has been my big issue before purchasing these. I followed her advice, and they are perfect! I wear a UK size 8 and my feet are wide. I bought the size 7/8 which is 41/42, and even though it is a snug fit, I am sure the next size would have been too loose, which you do not want in a full foot flipper. Returning items from South Africa is too costly to make any mistakes, so I hope this will again help someone else. I love the soft heel area, which makes it easy to put on, and I love the shorter blade area which I think is going to be great for snorkeling. The flipppers arrived in good time. Overall really happy! Cannot wait to get to the coast in November. Thank you!

So I purchased these for my brother who is a US men's 7.5 and his girlfriend who is a women's 7.5. He originally bought them as 7/8 US size; 41/42 EU size. But they were loose. Returned to exchange and bought one size down 5.5/6.5 US; 39/40 EU. They fit, but still would not fit snug--if water got in between his heel and fin, it would eventually and gradually slip off. We are no experts on diving/snorkeling fins, but based on experience with rock climbing shoes, we assume it should fit snug for this kind of activity. His girlfriend got a 4/5 US; 37/38 EU and he tried it on and it fit perfectly. It had no give, his got returned for a 4/5 US; 37/38 EU. Quick advice--buy 2 sizes down! They don't fit true to size!This is where the fins really get their good rating: the material on the foot pocket is not a hard rubber, but a silicone-like material that feels amazingly durable, comfortable, lightweight, and flexible, which is where it gets its "self adjusting" feature. They almost mold into the shape of your foot to create a seamless fit. The fins are lightweight overall and he mentioned that they will be very easy to propel himself through the water. He has owned cheaper fins which weigh a lot more and uses more effort to kick. He loves these already.The design and craftsmanship is well-thought out and these will probably last him years to come. He is very excited to use them for snorkeling in Hawaii and this product deserves five stars because of the quality, portability, and durability. The sizing is confusing but the best suggestion is to not be afraid to go down. It will be better to not worry about it coming off while diving or snorkeling. If you are using booties or neoprene socks, going down sizes would not be too big of an issue either. As mentioned, the foot pocket material is very malleable and flexible. One size down would be manageable, two is probably more for a really nice snug fit. It is all personal preference in the end. Great product, but wish there was more descriptions on the sizing!

I used my fin. I don't mind going to swimming on .

I tried another major Brand name in short training fins, and they were stiff, truly short, and the back rubbed my ankle. So I went with Cressi which is a good brand. I am so pleased.Forget those negative comments about being too short. The fin part actually starts in the foot area. They are buoyant which means they really help with the kick motion. They have a silicon insole which is both comfortable as well as eases putting them on. They are shorter than regular fins, but I got the motion I needed -- excellent.I do not write many reviews unless an item is really good or really bad. These fins are SO good, I wanted others to know the 5 star quality of these.

I like it better than the Speedo fins that I used for more than 4 years. The plastic used in Speedo aged and cracked in various contact points. This fin is much lighter, and the plastic used is flexible to put on the feet. I think it will last longer and since it is lighter, it will be easy to carry.
