I used this pair to replace my regular large fins. Speedo fins worked quite effectively and gave me a good workout. The material is also good/strong. I have no gripes about this product. I will highly recommend to people who do not like to use regular-size fins.

Just as my tittle suggests, the pockets on these fins brake after some use. For some people it could be one month, for some others about 4 months. All the swimmers in my Masters group have experienced the same problem.

I like them because you don't have to take them off climbing aboard your boat. I lost my long fins because I had to take them off first, when I tossed them on board they fell in the sea, I could not retrieve them fast enough. With Speedo, I find everything comfortable, easy to handle, and giving my legs a much better workout.

These training fins are perfect for swim class and leg muscle building. Get the most out of your laps! Sturdy, true-to-size, and you can't beat the Speedo brand. I wear a size 9.5 and I purchased the "Large" size. They don't squeeze my feet at all and fit perfectly. They also hold up well, even after 3X per week in Chlorinated water.

I have always been happy with any product I've purchased from Speedo. My issue however is with Amazon as a sender. Amazon did not give the proper sizing for the fins so ultimately I purchased a size to small. Amazon then said I was to blame for the product sizing and charged me shipping and handling fees. Be careful when ordering a product that Amazon is personally shipping.

It fit properly easy to slip on and off. It has style and achieves the objective.

I ordered this for my 8-year-old son. I read ordered reviews and ordered the next size up and it fits like magig. He has wide feet and had no problem getting them on. Perhaps for somebody with narrower feet they might tend to be a little loose. The coach had told me that this model is ideal because is very hard for little kids to train with longer fins. The very first day he trained on them he swam half of the pool underwater with ease. A def. buy

The scarest part for ordering these were all the sizing problems I read about. I wear size 10-11 (size 10 Converse All-Stars, I think thats the most universal measure) and I ordered the XL. The size feels really good to me; my big toe just barely passes the ridge in the plastic and the bucket is a good fit for my foot. I've taken them out for my swimming drills once (so far) and I thought they worked great. I'm hesitant to give them a five because they're the only fins I've used and I've only used them once; but from the first time using them, I thought they were wonderful.

wanted fins for swim training. these work fine and i am very satisfied with this purchase. would recommend this product

THESE ARE MY SECOND PAIR OF SPEEDO OPTIMUS FINS. FIRST PAIR LASTED FOR 6 MONTHS OVER A 3 TIMES A WEEK USE. THESE NEW ONES JUST LASTED 4 USES, OR LET SAY LESS THAN 4 HOURS.

I REALLY LIKE HOW THEY FEEL ON THE WATER BUT AT THIS PACE I WOULD NEED 3 OR MORE PAIRS OF FINS PER YEAR.

THEY BROKE AT ABOUT THE SAME SPOT, AROUND THE BIG TOE SPACE. I ASKED MY TRAINER AND HE HAS HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER SWIMMERS.
