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 found them to be pretty heavy actually. I don't think they would work very well snorkling. They are basically a training aid to learn to swim better but I guess you could give it a try.

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

I personally would not. There is not back to adjust the tightness of the fins. For comfort reasons i wouldn't. I think they make socks which are like boots in material just, a sock in a sense.

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

You may be able to fin, but it will not be efficient. It has a foot rest so that you do not submerge the feet. Finning is possible but difficult.

Yes, they are waterproof for swimming. Not sure about the waterproofcase with the I5

It would depend on the type of fins that you are using but it is possible. I was fit my Tusa split fins, sport snorkel fins, 2 masks, 2 snorkels and 2 towels. There is a separate zippered pouch that can hold your sunscreen, keys, wallet etc.

I am a certified diver and no, they do not fit well enough for snorkeling. You need booties, their great for tube float fishing and wearing over waders. They are extremely light weight and great for the right sport.

Yes but if you try to dive down deep enough to have to equalize (10+ft), you most likely will blow out the valve in the mask as I did on mine. This set should be strictly used for surface snorkeling and NOT scuba!

I've only used them to shorten my swimming fins, too long. I suppose one could use them on the sides of a shoe, but I'm guessing.

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 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!

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,

We have not used for snorkeling, but my twin daughters (age 7) have used theirs at the pool all summer without a problem. They love them!

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.

I would think so. The fins were just a little big on the 5 yr old I purchased them for. however the clip on the fin strap came off first day.
