I bought these Rondinella fins for my first time snorkeling in over a decade. I'm only a beginner snorkeler, but I used them for a week snorkeling in and around the coral reefs and sharp lava rocks on the Big Island in Hawaii. The rubber in the foot area is super soft and they were easy to put on. With so many waves coming in on the beach when I was putting them on, I needed them to be easy to put on quickly, and they were. I got size 39/40 for my size 8.5 US W feet, and it was a perfect fit. They slipped on easily and never slipped off until I chose to take them off when I was done). They felt smooth while snorkeling, with a fluid, yet powerful propulsion action when I kicked, both single leg and together. The fins themselves got a bit scratched up from the lava rocks on entry and exit, but you'd expect that and those rocks are SHARP. They were only superficial scratches anyway. In terms of packability, I could have put them in my carryon (JUST would have fit) but wouldn't have had much room for other stuff in that side of my bag. If you're traveling light except for your snorkeling gear, they're carry-on worthy. I ended up putting them in a slightly longer duffle bag with my boyfriend's longer and stiffer fins, and that still worked fine as a separate carry-on.Overall, 5 stars and am completely satisfied with these fins!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently purchased the Cressi Rondinella fins for a snorkeling trip, and they exceeded my expectations. The full foot pocket design is very comfortable and eliminates the need for additional straps, which can be cumbersome. The fins are lightweight but provide great thrust, making it easy to move through the water with minimal effort.I also appreciated the quality and craftsmanship—it’s clear they’re made in Italy with durability in mind. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, these fins are perfect for snorkeling or light diving. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and efficient pair of fins!

These fins are so comfortable and easy to slip on and off when your in the water! I have had fins in the past that were so stiff and I had to wear socks with but these are the best! They bend with your foot well as to not hurt or cramp up. You won't be disappointed!

Haven’t tested them yet, but they feel like good quality.

Bought these because they were just about the only fins large enough for my 13/14 feet. Full foot, of course, are quite comfortable, and although they are quite long they easily fit a standard 28" Pullman suitcase.A few reviewers find these to be a bit too stiff. I thought so at first; I couldn't do the little flutter kick I learned in swimming. But after two weeks in Hawaii I slowly realized that is not the appropriate technique with long blades such as these. Rather draw the fin up along the surface, bending your knee... then push back. Almost like bicycling. Tremendous power! And they are very good when you dive.Great product.

These are a great product! They were perfect for a snorkeling adventure in Hawaii.

Great lightweight but neutral buoyancy fins. I use them everyday the wind is not blowing too hard here on the coast of the Yucatan, mostly shallow water free diving (less than 50') and SCUBA diving also. I like anything I have to move with underwater to have the lowest possible mass; less mass to move, less energy wasted! They appear well made, should last quite awhile.
