when I have used resort fins in the past(size 13) they always crammed my toes together and hurt to use, how are these for comfort on the toes?

Great fins they are stiff and require strong legs but you can move quickly when called upon after four dives I am spent

My son(size 10) wore them. No problems with toes. He definitely recommends the sock to protect the back of your heels if you plan to purchase and use alot. He's PADI certified and passed up two more levels with this gear.

I used them for snorkeling in Hawaii They work but not well If you don't want to hassle with packing fins they will do in a pinch but if you are going out more than once I would opt for regular dive fins

Rec'd open toe by accident, didn't make them send me what I actually wanted. Would much rather have closed toe since open toe is for observation of swelling etc and it bunches up in your shoe. Socks really helped tho.

It's better to place them near the top because otherwise your foot will feel like it's being pushed up out of the shoe a bit. If it's near the top then it feels more snug and your foot will stay in.

I think the rubber is quite soft actually. They are definitely softer than the Zoomer fins - the Zoomers actually hurt my feet sometimes, and I sized them pretty well. The Microfins to me were sized a bit larger so they are a tad loose on my feet, but they still work out well and do not fall off.

I am a size 9 and they fit well. It is very easy to adjust the fins while they are on your feet (even when you are floating the the water). The fins are kind of short in length which did not bother me, but my husband thinks the longer fins give you more power.

yes. keep them bare on the bottom for best results. drape a small blanket or towel loosely over the top part of your feet. It's ok to wiggle your toes - ha!

They size small. I wear men's 11, sometimes 11.5. I bought size 11-13 and they are very tight and uncomfortable. Besides I don't like other aspects of the fins such as the shape, length, and thickness, and returned them.

The soles should and possibly the uppers if you brush by them. I wear my travel fins over them so my toes are protected. I also give urchins plenty of room

The problem I had (and returned them for it) was that they would "ride up" into my toes. Try The Insole Store.com. Great chat people and selection ;)

Emilio, all I can say about these inserts are they make your feet feel sooooooooooooooo much better for wearing them. At the end of the day you can still smile, but I can offer you further help. If you will change shoes mid day and wear a different pair of shoes (with inserts as well) your feet will not tire and hurt as much. Possibly with both aids you will experience much less pain. I am guessing that you are on your feet all day (or night).

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

I use them in regular shoes. It does make the shoe fit a little tighter - maybe a half size difference. Hope that helps.

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.

In my opinion and that of my massage therpist, it has nothing to do with the actual size of your foot. It is made to relieve pain and discomfort by helping to stretch the toes and relieve the inflamation in your feet.

I bought the Akona fin socks - they come in actual sizes. I used these with my snorkeling fins. They snugged up the fins, but weren't tight - they loosened a bit in the water. I have dive boots to wear with my dive fins. The Akona socks worked great - hope this helps!

I would get them large, The Fins are adjustable and very comfortable, I swim miles in them, however if you don't make sure the foot is seated in the boot, it would be constricting but you would know by feel. With the larger size performing well at depth would be a cinch. Without any more effort than had you got the smaller pair. Adding some versatility to the whole prospect! Get Wet Soon!
