Mp' brand brings new line of technical swim products for competitive swimmers sphere, the premier swimming equipment manufacturer for fitness and recreational swimming, aquatic exercise, and triathlons, and Michael Phelps, the most decorated swimmer of all-time, have together launched the 'MP' brand. Combining Aqua sphere's global product design expertise and distribution with Phelps' and coach Bob bowman's experiences at the highest levels of swim performance, the MP brand features a new line of technical swim products featuring proprietary technologies and performance enhancing designs for competitive swimmers. 70% lighter than the traditional swim fins, the Alpha fin Pro was designed to mimic a swimmers natural competitive kicking tempo with an asymmetrical short blade design. "A lot of the fins out there today are flat and swimmers learn to kick with their feet apart, which isn't a very natural motion. I'm very pleased with these fins because they're shaped in a way that you can kick the way you're going to when you're swimming." - coach Bob Bowman

Great fins but a tight fit
The fins work quite well in the water.The casting process leaves some ridges around the openings that were hard on my feet, so I sanded them down.I bought the size M 8-9 fins as I have size 9 feet. I wish I had bought the L 10-11 size, because these are very tight to put on and wear, even using some lube. I learned to keep the strap down on the bony part of your heal because it wears blisters on the Achilles tendon if you let it come up higher.

Broke after two uses.
Fin broke after two uses. Had them shipped as a gift to Europe so can't be returned or refunded as past date of returns.Do not buy.

snug fit, indeed, check fit immediately: denser material, a color to make one gasp
This is a review of MP Michael Phelps Alpha Pro Fins, in case hackers or Amazon staff blend my review with reviews for grape jelly. I bought these green ones because they were cheaper than the blue ones, with faster delivery. The blue ones weigh 120 g. These green ones weigh 180 g, but they float well. Perhaps the strap will break less often on these. I wear a U.S. men's 12 shoe in the narrowest width available, seldom narrow enough. I wear a European men's 45 for sandals, 46 for shoes. These green fins are the same nominal size as the blue ones that broke. The blue ones were easy to put on. I have non-optimal fingers on one hand, and these green ones were a great struggle to put on in the water. If you have a size 12, 12.5, or 13 U.S. men's shoe and/or have a wide foot, check the fit of these the moment the package arrives.

Magic fins
Superb design, Uber light and the asymmetric design is making old legs stronger again!Love the color so much I wore them while watching UofO ducks play huskies and we came back from 16 points down to win so they are lucky webfeet too 😂.Only thing I shall point out is you simply MUST buy ultralight aqua training socks! I got blisters after second day wearing them. So I suggest MP that you add that to the package (no more blisters) & I love them❤️🏊♀️.The sizing was spot on.Support great design when u find it eh?

Great fin corrects kick problems
I love, love, love these fins! My son's body is slanted to the left when he swims freestyle so his left leg swings out instead of crossing over like he should. These fins correct it because they make him cross over! I've been searching for something like this. FIY, they are sized small! My son usually takes a medium so I ordered a large and I could barely get him in them and when I did the ankle strap killed him. So I exchanged them for an extra Large and they fit perfectly. He can wear fin socks underneath and the ankle strap does not bother him at all now.

Great workout!
Ppl wear them upside down, that’s why they are having issues. The holes are not supposed to be on the top of the foot!!! Great workout for the legs. Love it! Put them on in the water, it’s easier.

Runs Very Small
These run very small. I ordered a size up, but could have used 2 sizes up. They are very hard to put on. Once on these are great flippers. The inverted toe feels more natural to me when kicking. It does help to train the toes to invert. I like the color and they are lightweight.

Not for me—not aligning with my body mechanics in the pool
I liked them OK, but didn't give me enough power for my kick. I also had a hard time getting them on easily. The band that fits around the heel doesn't stretch much. All in all I've heard good things from those who really like them and they fit the ergonomics of their bodies, but for me, they didn't align. I would suggest testing them out for yourselves.

Excelente experiencia
Cuando compré estas aletas, me las puse para ver si me quedaban porque a veces es confuso convertir medidas de otro país a México, me costó un poco de trabajo y sentí que el empeine estaba muy apretado. Sin embargo cuando las probé en la alberca, me las puse con los pies debajo del agua y fue mucho más fácil. Ahora bien, a la hora de nadas con ellas, son súper ligeras y este material, al ser más suave que el caucho, no me lastimó los "nudillos". Altamente recomendables.

light and fast but damage feet :(
I bought these because of the reviews saying they are so light - and they totally were. Loved them ... until I took them off after a long swim - tons of cuts on my heels, archs, and top of my feet. Two months later and I still have very prominent scars. One of my friends tried mine and also loved them so much that she bought them ... and they badly cut up her feet as well (so it's not just me)

muy ligeras
Las he usado para nadar en alberca y estan super comodas, por su ligereza es necesario acostumbrarse a ellas pero despues de un rato no hay problemas excelente material.
