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.

Hi, my wife wears a size 6.5 shoes (US sizing). The fins have an adjustable strap around the heel with solid catches holding it, and there is plenty of room to go a couple of sizes up or down. I can't remember for sure, but I think US Divers website also had some sort of sizing chart that we checked before buying these. We used them in Hawaii (they pack pretty flat), and loved them.

not in less you find an XrXrXr large pair !! O , or an Xr large and you have skinny feet.. Shop around and if you find a pair that fit, then check them out on 'amazon' .. The ankle strap is the only reason i have not lost these fins !! and well worth any Extra moola !! Lost 2 pair in past years body surfing until purchasing these.. Good Luck J.

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.

I have only used mine with bear feet. I take a size USA 10.5 shoe and the flippers fit well on my bear feet. I think if I had a bulky water shoe as well they would definitely not fit me. Maybe if you get a big size or have small feet you could get a wetsuit booty in them.

As a newer Go Pro user, i cant give my opinion from experience, but i did use the drying inserts, while snorkeling and in humid Jamaica and everything worked out great. I did use the filters some, but didn't notice a huge difference, didn't have any issue getting them to fit. I opted on the side of better to have it then not have it. Haven't used them since.

I have the medium pair and the measurement from the heel to the tip of the fin is 15". We were snorkeling in the French Polynesian islands, so it wasn't heavy duty stuff. It worked very well for us.

Yes. You really need to play around with all the configurations. For me, just slightly rotating the fins a certain way makes a huge difference in comfort.

These flippers are nice. We use them for basic diving and snorkelling, and they are great. I cannot compare with the short fins, but I imagine packing short fins is easier than long ones.

We bought his & hers of this set mainly for the masks and snorkels. They are great, but fins are uncomfortable as we suspected they would be (slip-on with strap) and stay in the bag. The medium fit my wife's size 8 feet.

Unfortunately, a Japan 15cm size is too small for this fin. It converts to a US Jr Size 8. The Mermaid Fin fits US Male 1-6, Female 2-7. Thank you for asking!

Hi. I'm a 7 (mens) and the "small" fit perfectly. These are good fins and def worth the price. For a 10.5, just go according to the chart like I did.

The Finis chart says Size E for women's size 9/10. They run slightly big, but I have not found that to be a problem because they stay on. They are the most comfortable fins I have owned. I wear them for laps and water workout. They are great for strengthening the legs without stress on the knees. These fins are my all time faves.

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

Fins are not deep-if your concern is hitting rocks etc, I wouldn't worry. Fine anywhere deep enough for a paddle.

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

They fit my large Décor fins pretty good (very similar to scubapro jet fins). But as with all replacement fin straps they are a little thinner than the originals. So you either need to tape them with good electrical tape or as I do with black zip ties to make sure they don't slip. Of course they will only fit you after you do this.
