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.

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!

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.

I can't speak for ocean but I've been using these rods on the great lake and have caught kings in the upper 20's and low 30's with no problem. They are hard to beat for the price.Good luck.

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!

Works well with waders ....used them the other day barefoot and they are uncomfortable after only a short time. Keep in mind we use them while in fishing tubes (like small boats ) to get around the lakes. I may try them with a pair of those water shoes on and see how they feel... In the summer i rather fish without the waders (which have the boots attached) so trying to find the most comfortable way to wear these flippers to be able to move around the lake.... Def not barefoot.... Hope this helps

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.

I'm a size 8.5 shoe size and the fins fit perfect... You can adjust them and I honestly think they should be labeled one size fits all.

Fit, yes. Stay on while swimming? Probably not. Get cracked in a couple of uses? Most likely. Get the rubber one by finis. It's called the Foil monofin & beware that the XS is super narrow, so just get the size small Finis Foil. And if you want a mermaid looking rubber fin for about triple the price get a merfin in orange or blue.

us divers were great and great size for traveling, ant bigger and they would'nt have fit in our suit cases. we used them for our two week Hawaii vacation

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.

Yes. My fins are 15" long and they fit. Fins up to 17" should fit and still be able to zip the top. Longer fins will require leaving the top unzipped.

I have purchased a pair of TYR Sport Burner fins for each of my grand children and they all love them. I got a size XSmall for the 7 now 8 year old. They were a little big but he is still wearing them. I think they really like the shorter fin as they aren't so awkward in them.

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.

M-L, im 10 and works for me, and a friend of mine is 10.5 and works too. The fins are a little stiff so, prepare for newbies blisters

I wear an ll man's shoe, and their 'large" size is a really tight fit. you might be ok, a bit loose, they SAY you can fix by wearing a sock. i could not swim any faster with them than with large scuba fins, and I had to work much harder with the aqua fin. I am not, however, training to really swim, just to endure, lose weight, and built leg muscle. If your goals are different, they might work for you.

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.
