Finis Zoomers Gold Swim Training Fins - Short Blade Design for Speed & Conditioning - Soft Natural Rubber Fit

I usually wear a men's 8.5 shoe, so I ordered the "E" size of these FINIS Zoomers Gold. The "E" is supposed to fit Men's 7.5-8.5. but they were too small for me. I could barely get them on my feet and the fin were way too tight when I did. I know fins are supposed to fit a tad snug so they won't fall off my feet in the pool, but they were just too tight for comfort. So, I had Amazon do an exchange for size "F" fins. It was VERY easy to fill out the online info and I had my new fins in 2 days with my Amazon Prime. Amazon also paid for the return shipping on the first pair that was too tight. The return process could not have been more simple. I got my new Finis Zoomers Gold in 2 days as promised. The Size F fins fit perfect. I recommend if you are at the top end of size range like I am, then order up a size. The E would probably be fine for a size 7.5 (maybe even 8), but was too small for 8.5. Anyway, I wore my new Zoomers to swim my laps today at the YMCA. I swim a mile (freestyle) three times a week. Up until now, I felt like most of my workout had been in my arms/shoulders. I wanted to feel more work in my legs that's why I bought fins. The Zoomers did exactly what I'd hoped for. I swam my mile in about 5+ minutes less than usual with the Zoomers, but I felt a lot more work in my legs. Because I finished a bit early, I added an additional 5 laps with a kickboard using the Zoomers to work my legs more and that helped too. I think I will see significant improvement in my leg strength by using these. I highly recommend these, but order up if you are on the top end of a size range.

these are game changers! I have always been a good swimmer, but with these on, I feel like aqua man!

buy these every couple of years- absolutely no substitute- these are the best swim fins for doing laps and conditioning legs

I purchased the Finis Yellow Zoomers Gold to help me strengthen my Swimming Skills and Leg Muscles in the water along with other bits from the same Finis training tools. Based on the reviews that was a good choice and I made the right decision. Observations: Blades are Stiffness and heavy. Heel comfortable and natural curve with foots heel, easy to slip foot in. I Select Size H as I use Size 12 US shoe Size / 11 AUS and it fits perfectly. Going smaller would not have been a good idea. But, there is a small issues, as I have seen other complain about it, well it happened to me, one of my toes suffered from a bad case of friction with the Blades and peeled the skin off of a small area enough to cause me to remove the Fins and try to do something about it. I ignored the friction in the beginning as I was exercising in the pool. I did some clean-up of the excess rubber and I think I resolved it. Looking at both the fins, they are made in my case from the same Mould as they had the same imperfections at the same location as shown in the images. Using a fin cutting sharp tool, I cleared the excess rubber and that solved the problem. Conclusion: Good, Heavy, Strong Fins., perfect Fit if you get the size correct, use swimming socks or make sure to minimize the friction between your feet/toes with the fins to avoid blisters and skin injuries.

So far fits good

I wanted to work on my kick and needed some fins to open up my ankles. I started with the TYR Burners, they were good but due to the hard rubber they ended up peeling the skin on one of my toes. I ended up sending them back. Next up was the Capas fins, they were a bit loose and notice they were too soft not providing a lot of resistance in the water. I ended sending those back. I tried these Finis fins and they fit me perfectly, no blisters on my toes and provided the right amount of resistance in the water. They seem to be well made, definitely a keeper. Just to note, Finis seems to have more sizing choices than the other manufacturers increasing the possibility of finding a great fit.

update July 2017 So, it's been years but I feel I must revisit this review. Over time, I gradually stopped using these fins because they persistently pinched my feet to the point of scraping the skin off the top of the instep. I checked the size and according to the chart, I selected the correct one. Nevertheless, they pinch and abrade the top of my insteps after a short (20 minute) workout. Why now, after so many years? I recently purchased as Finish swim snorkel and wanted to get into serious kick workouts. Alas...I was quickly reminded of the pinching/abrasion problem. Now, I'm not sure whether to purchase a larger size -- will it be too big? too loose? -- or go for another brand. So I',m lowering the score from five stars to three. The original review is below... ----------- I purchased this to add some resistence to my swim work out. It does force you to exercise your legs more than just using a kickboard, or so it seems. When swimming in public pool with a kickboard, it's also nice not to hold up the folks behind you. I would think you would need at least 10-20 minutes of kicking with this to get any sort of worthwhile workout. I do recall some odor when first opening, but it dissipated quickly and no problems since.

Great swimming fins at a nice price. It was a pleasure using them at swimming at the beach.

I love these fins for sea swimming. My tip is by a large size.

Great for indoor and outdoor easy fit.

o modelo veio errado, uma pena

Seems like the product was used previously. No option for return 😡

Ho fatto nella mia vita almeno 20 anni di nuoto agonistico, parte in gioventù e poi da anziano nei master. Scusate se mi sono dilungato ma è per sottolineare che credo di sapere di cosa parliamo. Innanzi tutto la misura, certamente richiede attenzione. Sul sito è pubblicata una tabelle, seguitela attentamente. Disegnate il vostro piede nudo su un foglio di carta e misuratelo. date la precedenza alla larghezza e poi alla lunghezza e scegliete in base a queste misure. per farla più semplice, io sono un 42 preciso per una scarpa classica, e mi calzano perfettamente le pinne 43/44 come risulta dalla misurazione del piede. nel mio caso 27 cm. di lunghezza e 10.30 di larghezza. Le pinne sono in gomma naturale e sulle piastrelle della piscina risultano un pò scivolose, anche in virata naturalmente, ma sono pinne da allenamento e non vanno calzate in gara :) quindi concediamoci un pò di attenzione quando si vira. Le pinne permettono una pinneggiata corta e veloce, propedeutica per il nuoto, consentono un ottimo lavoro muscolare di contro non sono veloci, ma non è il loro scopo. Vanno anche molto bene per favorire l'estensione della caviglia, aanche questo fattore è importantissimo per una corretta nuotata. In sintesi un ottimo strumento per allenarsi nella tecnica di una corretta gambata e per lo sviluppo e il rafforzamento muscolare. E' il loro obiettivo e svolgono perfettamente il loro compito
