CRESSIPalau Adjustable Open Heel Snorkeling Swim Fins Blue

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!

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.

We got these fins to take on a trip to Hawaii. We got Cressi masks and snorkels and were impressed with the quality. These fins looked nice and were comfortable when we tried them on at home. We took them all the way to Hawaii. Our first snorkel destination was an out of the way area on the Big Island. As soon as we got in the water the heel straps started popping off. We took them off and tried to adjust them several times with no luck. We ended up having to leave them on the rocks while attempted to snorkel without fins (luckily it was not a place with strong currents). We ended up having to rent fins for the rest of our trip and lug these back to return to Amazon. We got the L-XL. I have size 13 feet and my partner has 10.5 and we both had the same issue, so the size was not a factor. The clasp for the heel strap is not well designed, just a plastic piece that holds against a ridge in the plastic strap. When we were at home and tried them dry, there was no problem. As soon as they got wet the plastic strap just popped out. We tired them loose and tight, both with same outcome. Don't waste your time on these, spend some extra money for a better pair.

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.

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)

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.

I was looking for an easier to use fin for snorkeling and for when my feet are sore from my long free diving fins, and these fins are excellent! The foot pocket is extremely comfortable, I love that I don’t have to wear a sock or boot with them. The fin/blade is very flexible, so much that when I first tried them on in the pool it felt like I wasn’t wearing any fins (but this might be due to me just being used to wearing long stiff blades). These fins are great for snorkeling or beginners who don’t yet have that muscle strength. I would not recommend theses for scuba or freediving as they require a lot of exertion when trying to dive deeper. However they are of excellent quality, price, and comfort.I usually have a shoe size of women’s 6.5-7 and the X-XS were perfect.

The media could not be loaded. I wear a women’s size 8 and I got the S/M they are literally perfect no rubbing at all and I have really skinny feet so usually there is wiggle room but these were perfect. They are so comfortable. The rubber is so soft on my feet and they don’t rub anywhere. They are the perfect combination of stiff and flexible, and they are just long enough where you get good propulsion, SUPER RECOMMEND!
