Are these good for open heeled fins or are primarily usedd with full foot fins?

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

These work well with both fins. Prevents blisters and provides protection when walking on rocky grounds.

I don't think you would have a problem, but I have read some other reviews and numerous people have complained about the suction leaving marks on their face. I had to send my set back because my husband thought the fins would make my ankle injury worse because they are short. Others have really liked the shape. Please look at other reviews.

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

You really need to get both fins. Each has it's place in your training regimen. Here is a you tube that explains it very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjDVakmzHHM

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.

Fins are practical with the Skagit. It will be a little awkward because you're seated a little higher but I usually have my feet in the water when I'm not moving around.

I would go with a S/M. The boot takes up some space bit the fin has a large pocket and the open back allows for a good range of adjustment. M shoe size is a U.S. 10 and I have to snug the strap up on a M/L with a 5mm bootie. They are well made and fairly long. My wife bought the closed fit and they are really a long fin. The longer the fins causes them work better at propelling you down and dealing with current.

These fins are extremely buoyant. They are great for lap swim, but if you like to swim under the water when snorkeling, as opposed to floating on top, you will have to wrestle with these as they tend to make you float feet-up. Better to have neutral fins for snorkeling.

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

Kim, I do not know your specific situation/need. If you simply need more height then 2 of these in the same shoe would give you that, however, I do not believe they would work in sandals if there is an open heel. If you are attempting to simply elevate & have no medical reason I would suggest you not use these. You can purchase shoes with heels. Hope this is helpful. Mike R. :>)

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.

I believe you fins might be a little too small if they reach the opening, but I would have to say yes. The material of the sock is very thick to prevent this from happening.

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).

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.

Hi SaraIf your buying a woman's fin go m-lIf 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.

best for heles but can be used for the front of the flat shoe too not for the sides as much
