CRESSIPalau Adjustable Open Heel Snorkeling Swim Fins Blue

Fins worked great for snorkeling above and below surface in STX - Cane Bay, Isaac's and Buck Island. Easy to adjust straps made these very comfortable with bare feet or with boot/sox. Fairly stiff and long - strong swimmers will be able to propel well but these don't fit in typical carry-on luggage.

These fins are lightweight, yet powerful, making them great for snorkeling or diving. My partner and I both have a pair that we use while going on a diving adventure. They stay secure even in stronger currents or swells, providing good propulsion without requiring too much effort. Overall, a high-quality product from Cressi that performs well in the water!

I had high expectations for this product, but on its first use the main adjustment strap broke twice, (I can never use it again) really poor quality

I like the open heel style so i can wear booties to walk over rocks to get to water. They are a little stiff, not recommended if you don't have strong legs.

Made it through 6weeks of scuba camp on a boat multiple dives a day on a teenagers feet no issues. She said they are comfy and true to size no blisters no rubbing(she did have scuba socks for longer days)

Bought these last-minute for a three week trip to the Costa Brava, Spain They were just the right size to be able to squeeze into my carry-on. Used for a total of at least 30+ hours in the water, for snorkelling and spearfishing all along the coast. I definitely wasn't expecting much out of a $30 pair of fins but these performed exceptionally well. While tight on my feet (size 13 shoe) the material was supple enough to conform to my wide forefoot/narrow heel, and stayed put for hours at a time while also being very comfortable (no blisters). For those with larger feet, it helps to grab the fins by the harder plastic on the side of the boot and just twist the boot side to side while pulling onto the foot (same to remove). These fins stayed tight and did not come loose once (on a powerful swimmer). There is a little tab that locks onto the grooves on the strap, it's important that the tab is pushed in otherwise the strap will come loose (possibly the source of complaints about straps not staying tight). Overall very pleasant experience with these fins, recommend them highly.

These do the job perfectly for snorkeling. My foot size is Men's US9 so I bought the large ones in order to use size small booties with it. It worked, but it's a tad bit snug. The straps are pretty sturdy, however the buckles are all plastic--including the attachment to the fin, so i don't have a lot of confidence in them lasting --although i've used them on 10 outings so far without a problem. Some reviews complain about the buckle allowing the strap to come loose during use, but I've not had that problem. Also, the large ones fit well enough without booties on a US9 foot as well (with the straps totally tightened down the the max). PS. if not using booties, at least use some socks, that goes for any fins in general. (any normal nylon socks will do) I know it seems weird at first, but you'll thank me later -- it eliminates all chafing.

These fins were great, comfortable and easy to adjust!
