Cressi Light Fins, Short Swimming Fins for Adults, Snorkel Flippers

I've been having leg power problems when getting back in to swimming freestyle (poor technique and lack of fitness) and so started using swim fins provided at my gym along with a kick-board. However, the borrowed fins were old and way too tight. But I can already feel the difference after only a couple a visits a week over the past few weeks. So I decided to invest in a pair of my own in the right size. I ordered these Cressi Light Swim Fins on Thursday in the early afternoon. They arrived by courier on Friday just after lunch thanks to a free Amazon Prime trial - amazing service! I am now one very happy customer with a pair of properly fitting swim fins which look really cool. I can't wait to try them out in the pool tomorrow! *** UPDATE *** Having now used these fins twice, I can honestly say that they are fantastic! My legs really ache after several lengths as they are giving my muscles a real work out. Really fast in the pool, but extremely comfortable with no chaffing. The inside of the shoe is a smooth, soft rubber which is very flexible, making them really easy to put on and take off. Highly recommended! *** FURTHER UPDATE *** Now Feb 2014. Size can be an issue! During mid-2013, I noticed that the grey rubber at the corner of the toe hole on one of my fins had started to split! Right up from the corner of the soft top-of-foot grey rubber at the toe hole. After a couple more months of use, this has spread to two splits on each fin at the same place (one on each side). The fins still work fine, but I have un-sightly tears in my fins and a loose flap of rubber flapping about on top of each foot. Because of this, the remaining rubber of the upright part of the foot molding, attached to the blade of the fin, rubs against my toes and causes annoyance, discomfort and distraction while swimming. I believe this is probably because of the sizing, as I have one foot half a UK size larger than the other and I really need a 44-45 Euro size to compensate. Also, the fins seem to be designed to be universal and are not marked for left or right, so its easy to get them mixed up - hence the damage to both fins. So please be aware of this. Having said all that, I have used the fins quite a lot - probably an average of 3 times a week for around 45 minutes per session with quite hard freestyle leg kick. I can't fault them for comfort, effectiveness, looks or value for money. Everyone asks about them, the first time they see them and I've probably sold quite a few pairs for Cressi! :) NB: My wife also has a pair of these fins in white, and she loves them. She has been using hers for over a year, now, for an average of five sessions a week with no problems. She doesn't even use the supplied foot shapers which come with the fins, so perhaps hers fit better than mine do. I'll be investing in another pair of these fins very soon, as they appear (to me) to be the best on the market.

Great pair of fins, i bought these to fit in airline carry-on bag, and they fit great in a small carry-on bag (to save paying the ridiculous baggage fees). Great quality, i have bought larger Cressci fins and will continue to do so, my wige aslo bought a pair. Size is true, im a size 8 and fit great, wife is a 6, again great fit and dont come off at all when swimming. I thought i would miss the larger fins for snorkelling, but no, these move you quite swiftly through and under the water; and no strain on ankles either. Highly recommended.

Great fit, my first pair so not much to compare with but loved them, easy to put on and get off. Definitely improved my performance.

Great pair of fins for snorkling. Fits in my suitcase.

Great fins, perfect fit. Length just right.

Bought these to go to Menorca for snorkeling, and found them very good. I already had a pair of fins, but they were considerably bigger. These easily fitted into my suitcase on the aircraft, and into my backpack for walking to the beach. They were idea for snorkeling; I would go for over 60 minutes and found them not too tiring. Would really recommend them.

Only used once so far. Easier to use than long fins. Felt light. Nice fit. Look good.

Lasted well with regular use in the pool. True to size and didn't slip off.

The fins are comfortable and I'm happy with the quality. I prefer the light weight over some alternatives.

Excelente produto, muito útil nos exercícios de natação, melhora muito a sua performance

Absolutely perfect. I wear a size 10.5 shoe, and have a high instep. The 43/44 is an exact fit. Easy to get on and off. No swimming around in the fin. It's the perfect snugness. Easily the best fin I've owned.

宮古島の中の島ビーチやインギャーマリンガーデンでのシュノーケリングで使いました。 ショートタイプなので持ち運びが便利。 ビーチの安全な範囲で楽しむビギナーには十分だと思います。 耐久性は分かりません。

One’s Regular size Fits well. Very comfortable. Works very well.
