Cressi Short Full Foot Pocket Fins for Swimming or Training in the Pool and in the Sea | Light: made in Italy

I wanted flippers to improve my kicks, ankle flexibility, and resistance training to build better muscle. These are absolutely perfect for all those reasons. Pros: they're slightly weighed down by their design meaning you won't get inverted in the water by overly buoyant flippers, which is something I've had a lot of trouble with in the past. They're so incredibly well built, that I don't notice even a hint of wear and tear even with pool use. With previous flippers I'd bought, after hour in the pool they're were starting to fray and fall apart at the tips. So comfortable! I have no fear of them falling off, plus they're not causing blisters or tightness, which I thought they might. Cons: They will make your calves, thighs and feet feel sore. They are not meant for leisure in my opinion, these are true training fins. They're meant to build you up, not make swimming easier. Not a fan of the open toe, it feels strange in the water. Adds a whole lot of drag (but then again, that's what is making it a better resistance fin). I think they if you wore a scuba sock it would take care of that added drag. Did not come with carrying case. For such beautifully made fins, I'd have expected some form of carrying case or bag to go with them. Overall: Would buy a million times over. Has made my workout exactly what I wanted it to be!

I got these to help with my rehab from total knee replacement. I normally swim breast stroke, but was told by one of my physical therapists that the frog kick will be harder on my knee and she recommended I use a flutter kick instead. With that in mind I thought fins might help me since I am not used to kicking this way. So far I have been really happy with the fins. They fit great, and are very comfortable. They aren't tight, nor do they slip off. I immediately felt the difference in the resistance with these on and was amazed at how much faster I swim when I have them on. I've had a couple of Cressi masks and snorkels over the years and been very happy with those, so that is one of the reasons I picked these fins. They seem to make good reliable products.

This fin is very comfortable. Had a pair of zoomer golds before this and it is much more comfortable. The fin is a little longer then the zoomer gold. Speed was faster then the zoomer gold and also my leg muscles got more of a work out. I would agree that the sizing needs to be adjusted. I went down one size from their size chart and the fin was still a little big but, not so much as to be unworkable. Overall I like this fin. Gives me a better work out then the zoomer gold and it is very comfortable.

I bought this for swimming pool laps to increase lower body workout. My foot size is 10 and the 9 1/2 - 10/1/2 size fit perfectly, no rubbing or squeezing of my ankles or toes, and easy to put on. The foot pocket is soft rubber, and the blade is a stiffer material. Though the blade length is not the usual diver length, it gives a lot of propulsion and a good workout in the pool, and is solidly made. In fact, I would bring these with me if I was traveling instead of my long regular dive fins. Cressi makes good dive products, and these fins are great in every way.

I needed a pair of compact size fins primarily for lap swimming training. I've used world renown Cressi Sub SCUBA gear for many years and found it to be professional grade. These fins are perfect for recreational purposes and well designed. They are great for strengthening, stretching, and coordinating your legs which normally don't undergo much resistance during a swim. These fins help me improve my swimming form by increasing my speed and shifting a major part of the burden from the upper body to the legs thus changing up the workout. I shift back from fins to no fins balance the session and find my unaided freestyle improved. They become part of your body if fitted well. Fortunately, I took the advice of some reviewers who suggested that choosing a size down helped ensure a good fit. I wear a 9.5 wide US and the smaller size ( 8/9 US, 41/42 EU, 7/8UK) felt like a custom fit without any excessive constriction or rubbing. They are a joy to use and much more agile ,light and flexible than I was used to compared to most rigid and heavy 'old school' diving fins. They are a joy to use for swift lap swimming and could become addictive if not retired from duty once in awhile! I really enjoy using mine and used them daily (on a periodic basis) with much satisfaction. I can't recommend them enough if your an avid swimmer or a recreational snorkeler who travels with his gear in a suitcase or duffel bag.

I use these fins for training, and they perform exactly as advertised! Cressi has paid careful attention to get the details right. I've tried a few different training fins before, and they caused me significant discomfort during training and in the days following use. These fins are comfortable. They reduce fatigue. There are no sore spots or pressure points and no pain during or after training. That alone sets these fins apart from all the others I've tried. Plus they are easy to put on, fit great, and store well. Cressi has included an inserts to keep the foot pocket in the correct shape when not in use. Excellent quality. Highly recommend!

Ordered the 45/46 - I'm a size 12.5/13. These are heavier than the two other brands I looked into. Consider this if you need a lighter-weight fin for traveling. The front end of the foot pocket was too tight and pinched my toes. I could easily see these giving me blisters/pain during snorkeling. The heel pocket fit pretty well. Ended up returning them.

These are the Ferrari of pool fins. The black rubber is very elastic and pleasant to the touch. It wraps the foot gently and firmly. The white rubber is more rigid, and is perfect for the blade to push the water. The size 10/11 fits perfectly my American shoe size 11. They are made in Italy. They are so comfortable to wear that I could not wait to try them in the pool: I just tried them in the tub as soon as I got them. Wonderful.

Entre la comunidad de nadadores , es sabido que Cressi es garantía total , duran años y no se deforman, me gusto verlas en color amarillo,siempre usaba las azules, calzo del 6 y uso 39-40 (5 1/2, - 6 1/2)

Articolo pratico e maneggevole, affidabile nella taglia e nella tenuta. Soddisfatto per uso in mare.

Excellent. The flippers are soft, flexible and easy to get on-and-off, both in-and-out of the water. I take a 7.5 or 38 shoe size (women's) and the 4/5 flipper was a perfect fit, with comfortable wiggle room. The flippers also help to correct kicks- when my kick is off, I feel the drag. Recommend.

Really good quality. Perfect size, 47
