Cressi Adult Short Light Swim Fins with Self-Adjustable Comfortable Full Foot Pocket - Perfect for Traveling - Agua Short: Made in Italy

I bought the Cressi Agua Short Swim Fins specifically for beach days and snorkeling, and they’ve been excellent so far. They’re not designed for diving—they don’t provide the same power as full-size fins—but for snorkeling and casual ocean swimming, they’re ideal. The foot pocket is the most comfortable I’ve ever used. Even after several hours in the water, they didn’t pinch the top of my foot or cause any rubbing. They’re also super easy to get on and off, and if sand gets inside, it clears out quickly without any hassle. For travel, these fins are a big win. They’re compact and lightweight, fit easily into a carry-on bag, and take up way less room than traditional fins. Despite the smaller size, they feel durable and well made — they’ve already held up perfectly through seven uses with no signs of wear. Highly recommended for beach trips, snorkeling, and travel.

So I purchased these for my brother who is a US men's 7.5 and his girlfriend who is a women's 7.5. He originally bought them as 7/8 US size; 41/42 EU size. But they were loose. Returned to exchange and bought one size down 5.5/6.5 US; 39/40 EU. They fit, but still would not fit snug--if water got in between his heel and fin, it would eventually and gradually slip off. We are no experts on diving/snorkeling fins, but based on experience with rock climbing shoes, we assume it should fit snug for this kind of activity. His girlfriend got a 4/5 US; 37/38 EU and he tried it on and it fit perfectly. It had no give, his got returned for a 4/5 US; 37/38 EU. Quick advice--buy 2 sizes down! They don't fit true to size! This is where the fins really get their good rating: the material on the foot pocket is not a hard rubber, but a silicone-like material that feels amazingly durable, comfortable, lightweight, and flexible, which is where it gets its "self adjusting" feature. They almost mold into the shape of your foot to create a seamless fit. The fins are lightweight overall and he mentioned that they will be very easy to propel himself through the water. He has owned cheaper fins which weigh a lot more and uses more effort to kick. He loves these already. The design and craftsmanship is well-thought out and these will probably last him years to come. He is very excited to use them for snorkeling in Hawaii and this product deserves five stars because of the quality, portability, and durability. The sizing is confusing but the best suggestion is to not be afraid to go down. It will be better to not worry about it coming off while diving or snorkeling. If you are using booties or neoprene socks, going down sizes would not be too big of an issue either. As mentioned, the foot pocket material is very malleable and flexible. One size down would be manageable, two is probably more for a really nice snug fit. It is all personal preference in the end. Great product, but wish there was more descriptions on the sizing!

I swim 3 to 4 times a week and my 15 year old swim fins finally gave up. I have been looking for a replacement. I ordered one last week after having read reviews. Once I received it a few days ago, I was so disappointed as the size was not right and it was so wide for my feet. Had to return it. I went to local sport good stores and could not find one I like (mostly because of sizes or widths). I finally found this one and after read quite a few reviews I decided to order it. That was yesterday. I received it today a little after lunch. I was so happy that they fit my feet very well - exactly as the size chart says. It is very comfortable with the right stiffness. I took it to swim and I liked everything so far. I especially appreciate the fact that it comes with a pair of support inserts which keeps the rubber pocket in shape when not in use. I had to make a pair for my old ones for the same reason. The only thing left now is that I am not sure how long this pair will last. I am a little worried about the rubber pocket as it seems or feels a little thin and too soft. The softness makes it a little less sticky to my feet when I swim. But overall I am happy with it.

I bought these fins to use for a couple of snorkeling trips while on a cruise, wanting something shorter and lighter than my usual scuba fins. (I've been diving since about 1967.) I usually consider "full-foot" fins to be for kids, but I was unable to find any fins that didn't incorporate the same iffy heel strap retainers which had failed on me, on a previous trip. I was amazed to find some in my size (US 14). Note that although I ordered the 13-14 size, I received a pair of 11-1/2 to 12-1/2. However, the fins went on easily, due to the "self-adjustable" nature of the fins. Once I slipped them on, they were so comfortable that I forgot they were even there. Literally the best-fitting fins I've ever owned!

I wear a 6 1/2 to 7 shoe. My foot is a little wide at the toes. I ordered a US Lady 5/6 and they fit perfect! I won’t be using them until January but chose to try them because my long fins are hard to pack. I only snorkel so I think they will be fine in calmer water. I’ll update after I have a chance to use them.

Great product. Easily packable in a carryon. Took them to Belize, spent the week snorkeling and they worked great.

Great for swimming. Lightweight and the right amount of tension. Comfortable yet supported. Their is enough material in the heel to grab on to your skin and not come off during flipturns. The blade is incorporated into the arch of the foot which allows you to drive power on both the up and down stroke.

Compact, non-slipping, fairly comfortable - great addition for a quick trip with "maybe snorkeling?" option.

He probado ya varias aletas en mi vida, y las Cressi, de momento, puedo decir que son las mejores hasta ahora. Antes de estas tuve unas Cressi Light, que también me fueron fenomenal, me duraron 3 años, usándolas cada día en la piscina. Como aletas cortas, para mí, creo que son las mejores. Son muy cómodas y van perfectas para cumplir con su misión en la piscina como aletas para practicar la natación. Se nota el impulso que dan al dar la patada en el agua imprimiendo un toque de velocidad, que otras aletas no dan, o al menos, tanto como estas. Son muy suaves al tacto en los pies, parece que no las lleves puestas. En una palabra son excelentes y además están a un precio muy bueno. Las recomiendo a todos/as los que practicáis este fabuloso y al mismo tiempo exigente deporte como es el de la natación. Espero que me duren tanto o más que las anteriores. ------------------------------ Me han durado 3 años aprox. (cómo todas las Cressi que he tenido, que son 4) Al final se rompen por debajo, en la planta del pie(donde terminan los dedos y empieza la propia aleta. (ver foto)

J'ai acheté les Cressi Agua Short Fins pour mes séances de snorkeling, et je suis vraiment impressionné par la qualité ! Ces palmes sont légères, réactives et très confortables. Elles s'ajustent parfaitement aux pieds, grâce à leur design ergonomique, et ne causent aucune gêne même après de longues périodes d'utilisation. La puissance de propulsion est excellente, malgré leur taille compacte, ce qui permet de nager facilement et avec efficacité, que ce soit en surface ou sous l'eau. Elles sont idéales pour la randonnée aquatique, le snorkeling ou même les premières séances de nage en mer ou en piscine. De plus, elles sont très faciles à transporter, ce qui est un vrai plus lors de voyages. Je les recommande vivement pour tous les niveaux, que ce soit pour les adultes ou les enfants, car elles offrent un excellent rapport qualité/prix. Cressi a encore une fois su combiner confort, performance et praticité avec ce modèle.

nadadeira feita de material de boa qualidade, boa flexibilidade. Atende bem minha necessidade de uso em piscina.

Muy buenas

After years of pool swimming with snorkeling fins and starting to injure ankles and place too much force through (an arthritic) lower back, I invested in these fins. They are fantastic...fit perfectly (so take the time to measure your foot and align it with the right size fins). But they are light, comfortable, easy to put on and off, and perfect for pool swimming. I love them!!
