I am traveling to Thailand and am looking for snorkeling gear, I hate long fins, I would really like a short pair, I think these would work?

possibly, I have worn in a pool for lap swim only, but they certainly increase your speed as opposed to no fins at all,

I have a pair and like them a lot. not sure what you mean by 'work'?. they work for me, but can't compare to longer fins as I never owned any.

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.

I love these short fins. I do not snorkel, but I use them in the pool working out. Enjoy your trip!

Don't cheap out on fins if you are going on a trip to the Galapagos... my first recommendation would be to think about renting when you get there. If you want to save some money and drag your own all the way, then by all means, try them out in a pool at home first. I brought some US Divers Admiral 2 LX fins to Kauai, HI, and was not happy - I wear size 13 shoes and got the large fins, which were tight and the heel strap buckle slipped apart several times. The fins were a good size for travel, but if you are worried about losing them, you won't enjoy the scenery as much... it also depends upon how rough the water is. Have a wonderful time.

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.

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!

Well, they will fit but it is a little snug. The zippers they put on this bag are extremely poor quality and they became unusable after a few trips sliding 3700 waterproof stowaways in and out of the bag. I am currently using a relatively inexpensive ugly stick bag which is slightly larger than this one and it has been holding up great after spending many hours on the water since purchasing it. The only thing I liked better about the design of the ready 2 fish was the built in can holder, but in the trash it went where it belongs since it is not durable enough for somebody that fishes several times a week.

Only with small fins like FCS or Future. If you have a larger middle fin, like on a longboard, no.

Go to a local dive store. Try on some wetsuits. See what size fits you. Ask if they can match Amazon's prices. Order your wetsuit from Amazon.

Hi Sara If your buying a woman's fin go m-l If men's s-m, they are an open back design with adjustable strap, I dive mostly in cold water so I wear a 5mm boot, I am a size 8 and the s-m are just fine. The fins are good, they are stiff and that makes for good speed, but it does take good strong legs if you are doing multiple dives.

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.

I did not use when snorkeling. I used these shoes in a water aerobics class. I did not have any trouble with them slipping while exercising. I think they would be OK.

i can't speak to the childrens' sizes but adults run small. if you can, buy fins at a store where you can compare features and quality. yes, they're guaranteed and you can send them back but that's a pain in the neck.

A large would probably be your best fit. However, Go to a local dive shop and try on a couple. That will give you an idea of what you will need. It can be a crappy thing to do to a small business owner so I always try to buy something I need for my gear bag. Just for letting me try one on.

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

I have size 8 feet and they work fine. I would think the width of your feet would play more of a factor on whether they would work. Don't think they would do well if your feet are narrow. Not sure about length. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I would be guessing about this, but I agree you want the water shoe snug. I bought these for my husband he loves them, but he wof luck,ears an even 11. But definitely a great water shoe, best

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