Can these fins be used for snorkeling?

To be honest, I don't really know. I just used mine for swimming at the gym pool for lessons. For that, they worked well for me. Sorry.

I would imagine they could be but they are 3-4 inches shorter than regular fins.

Maybe. Although I'm not an avid snorkeler, my experience with snorkeling is that you need enough power to maneuver and speed to go deep quickly (we're holding our breath!). I use my Burners for lap swimming and they still move enough water to strengthen my kick. And they would consume less space than typical snorkel fins.

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,

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.

Can't really say any, but most are standard. If yours uses an allen screw to hold the fins in these will probably work.

No, there pretty tight. The will not keep your feet dry once submerge. Excellent to protect you heel from your open heel dive fins.

Fins are practical with the Skagit. It will be a little awkward because you're seated a little higher but I usually have my feet in the water when I'm not moving around.

I do not know those fins. Mine are very tight. These are BIG sox! I love them but they take up a lot of room. Need bigger fins now.

Yes, there is a tight fit on these fins! They will be fine I bought 3 of them! Love them!

I used them snorkeling and paddle boarding. I would think they would grip the board just fine and stay on. Been awhile but I think I ordered size 13 and I'm a 12 and they fit well. Good luck

No they cannot. They are safety goggles and have a rubber seal. I use them in the oil fields. When it gets under 30° I actually use another set of goggles.

I think you can use them for either. I use stocking waders with shoes over them n these fins work awesome. I'm sure you could tighten them down to work with just stockings if you wanted.

They might -- but the head bracket I received with a new snorkel was defective, so I'm using my old one. And not very pleased with the overall performance of the new snorkel itself. I may be considering a different mfg next time. Good luck!

100% Yes..short fins, like the yellow zoomers, are the appropriate fins for beginners to elite to use for technique drilling. I am a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, a USA Triathlon Junior Youth Certified Coach and a Total Immersion Level 2 Swim Instructor....my students use these fins for our drill sets and our kicking sets.

I have only used them with open heal fins but if the close heal ones are generous, they should work.

No experience with the foam fins, but very happy with "zoomers." My sense is that they will last as long as I will be able to get in the water with them!

Yes, of course they can be used for deep water walking, but make sure your head remains above this 'deep water'....... :D

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. They are an elastic cotton, which will absorb the water. Similar to a sweat band.
