We are going to Maui. Some reviewers claim fins are too small for ocean. Has anyone tried these fins in Maui?

I didn't try them in Maui, but Kauai. Size doesn't really matter because after about an hour of use, they'll be broken. And you shouldn't expect to get your money back. I bought two sets and both sets were garbage within the first few hours. Big waste of money.

I used this snorkel set in Kona on the big island and had no trouble with them. We also went out on the Body Glove tour boat, and they worked well for that. I think that people have too high expectations for this set. It's not a set you'd use with tanks. I had no trouble in twenty-five feet of water, on a nice day, and was able to dive down about Fifteen feet. I think I could have gone deeper if I could have held my breath longer. They are a little big for kids. My daughter had trouble with her mask leaking.

The fins might be on the small side, you might have to have the straps all the way out but you should be ok just the toes will sick out a little.

first, these are wonderful fins to wear. I believe they should be. If the top is a little snug you can trim a little off the top curve of the foot. I wear an 8.5 and use a med and they are perfect. You don't want them loose fitting.

Only used mine at the ocean and lake but it never road up. The sizes run small and fit snug. I wear a small and ordered a medium and it was snug.

Have had no problems with kayak; however, I did lose the FIN while going across rocks. Cannot find a replacement. Just take fin off if you know you are going to be in shallow water.

That's the same size I am. I bought these fins when they were made/sold by Zura, but they are exactly the same as the pair we recently bought for my husband. I bought XS when they had the Jura name on them. Under the Aqua Sphere name my husband recently bought Large, and his shoe size is 10.5

I have the medium sized fins, my shoe size is 10.5-11, and the fins are 26 inches. Right now I am in Cozumel, Mexico, using the fins all day, really like them, comfortable with good power.

Yes. Very well. They have a plastic pebbled bottom , for grip. They are VERY comfortable. However, they take up more room in the fin than thinner socks. I love them but the fit on my fins is much tighter. I really need bigger fins by 1/2 size now to accommodate these thicker socks. I am toying with the idea of getting bigger fins. These socks are great, regardless, and are holding up well.

I own these fins -purchased a few years ago. They have held up beautifully for swimming in the ocean about one to two miles almost every day. Their weakest point is the strap. Be sure you always wet the fins and put them on wet feet. Then the strap is no trouble. I even use these as my dive fins now, really love them. So comfortable. These are the only fins I use now - and I have many different types from before I found these. They would not be good for deep free diving, however,

Stiff and hard but with the slots more maneuverable...They aren't wet noodles on your feet. They're nice fins for ocean dives. Heavy so not a good fin for traveling.

I didn't have anything break. The whole system does not feel right. I returned my fins right away, stick with DUCK FEET. You will never go wrong with Duck Feet, that is if you are a Body Surfer.

I believe you are talking child size 12. With that in mind I would suggest ex small or small. It is ok to wear a little big they move smoothly threw the water even when big. I am a swimmer not a sales person I could be wrong. Check with sport stores and see if they carry fins that she could try on. good luck. They do help adults and children.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

we took our sets to Cancun last year. They took up a lot of space in the suitcase, but we went snorkling every day & were very glad we had our own equipment to go whenever we want. The fins for xl mens are about 24 inches

They seem to be. I sweat some and they still work. I think they work better on ankle when wearing shorts. Have not worn in the ocean yet. Hope this helps. I can recommend the (After Bite Stick) after a bite. Can get at Wal-Mart for $3.00.
