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.

Just what I needed!

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!

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

Daughter needed this for when she went snorkeling for the 1st time. She said it was comfortable and flexible where she needed it to be.

Are you using to snorkel off the beach all the time.

These worked pretty good. I am size 9.5 US or 9.5 wide sometimes. I bought the 41/42. It fit me like a glove. However, I could not also wear water socks, then it became too small. The next size up would be too large. I felt it was perhaps a bit stiff to bend in the water, but I have nothing else to compare to. All in all, they worked well for the price and they are light weight.

Excellent Product

Meu pai amou

Nadadeira muito confortável. Calçadeira de borracha que não aperta o pé e a deixa bem firme. Meu pé é bem grande e largo, calço 44-45 na maioria dos meus sapatos e calçados e nessa nadadeira escolhi o tamanho 45-45 servindo perfeitamente.

Usei nas férias e gostei bastante, não sai do pé apesar de ficar um tanto folgada.

Super Passform und top Qualität. Habe schon 3 4 wöchige Schnorchelurlaube in einem Jahr mit ihnen machen können. Sehr zufrieden.
