As with all products it obviously depends on what you're specifically looking for, but if you're looking for the same things that I was you'll like these fins. I swim purely for fitness and do not compete. These are more for fitness swimming than for competition training. I wanted a very flexible fin with a closed heal. I find that the fins with the straps around the heal tend to rub and irritate. If you want a stiff or semi-stiff fin this is not it. I also didn't want a split fin - I have a pair for scuba and snorkeling but I don't like them for lap swimming. I don't know why they don't include fin length in the product details, but if this is something that's important to you this fin measures about 7.75 inches (approx 19.5cm) from the toe to the tip of the fin, and 7.5 inches (approx. 18.5cm) from edge to edge at the tip of the fin (which is perfect for my needs). I like the resistance that they provide and get a good leg work-out.

As for sizing, they do run small. I wear a woman's size 8 and so I ordered the medium which is supposed to be a 7-8. It's more like a 7-7.5. If you are a true 8 go up a size. If you're a men's 7-8 you really want to jump up because these sizes seem to be based on the women's size scale and there is no way these would fit a man's 7-8 size foot (I wear a men's 6 - 6.5). This size squeezes my toes a bit; but because I was too lazy to send them back for the next size up, I crammed a pair of sandals into them to stretch the toe and it worked; but definitely go a size up if you are on the higher end of the size scale or are a man. I also have a regular width foot with a slightly high arch. The width is perfect and one of the reasons that I really like this fin is that it "molds" with the movement of my foot and stays in-line with my arch. Now that I've stretched them to fit right they really do form to my foot. The foot pockets feel very soft against my feet and there is no stiffness or rubbing anywhere. I can't speak for how it would feel on flatter feet, but they're good for a high arch.

One other thing that may or may not be relevant but that I find interesting is that I have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) - not terribly and not noticeable to the naked eye - but one of my legs feels shorter than the other when I do certain exercises like the backstroke. Normally when I do the backstroke I tend to zig-zag all over my lane no matter how hard I focus on my form. The "longer" leg (that is really just the curve in my spine) tends to send me towards the right and then when I try to compensate I just end up swimming to the left, and back and forth I go. It's very annoying. I've used many fins and for some reason this does not happen with these fins. It wasn't a solution I was looking for, or ever expected, it's just an added benefit. I assume it's because the foot pockets truly are orthopedic. I feel like I have more control and I now swim straight down the middle of my lane and get a far more productive workout.

If these are your same requirements I believe you will be very satisfied with this purchase. I love mine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Size Problem - Rectified?, January 11, 2011

A sizing chart is desperately needed for this item. Based on other customers guidance (in Amazon reviews) that these fins run really small and were numbered according to women's sizes, I ordered a pair of large 8-9, since I wear a size 8.5. The fins were huge on me, both in length and width. Sadly, if I ordered them again I wouldn't know whether to order one or two sizes down. As of December 2010 the Speedo website does not provide a sizing chart which relates fin size to men's and women's shoe sizes. For that reason, I will not try to order these fins again, even though I liked the look and feel of the pair I ordered.

Wasn't sure what size to get....I wear a size 12 mens shoe, so it appeared the "XXL" would do the trick. PERFECT. Shipping by Amazon was immediate and I had the fins in about 2 days (they were shipped from an adjoining state). Oh, and of course, they work just peachey too.
