do these fins fins float? i plan to use them in the ocean for body boarding and i am concerned they might come off and sink

Well, in the fresh water pool where I use them they do. If you are in cold enough water for booties i would just try a garage sale pair of old Jet Fins.

Yes they sink. But be warned that they aren't very bright so you might not see them well under the water.

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,

I own two of these, and I used them when I was around the 350 mark. They will float with that much weight but obviously they sit lower in the water. Hope that helps

I'm pretty sure they'll float. I would say 98% certain that they will float. They are somewhat firm, but you can squeeze them, and crush them. They are not as firm as Styrofoam from an ice chest or from packaging.

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

Do not use them IN a pool. If you use them NEAR a pool it's ok if they get splashed occasionally and wiped off, but it is not good to submerge them underwater.

Yes they do, i would recommend them for cruising and freestyle, they are lightweight.

I am not sure about them floating upright. Based on other comments, if you need them all to float up right I would probably not buy them. My kids love to play with them in water and everywhere! We never really noticed how they floated.

They stay put just fine. Don't think they would come off unless way too big as they are pretty snug and just stretchy enough to get over your heel. They would help you stay warm, but probably should be used with a thin wet suit or at the very least a swim skin if concerned about cold. Much more important to keep your core warm than your feet.

Yes, but only if the water level doesn't rise about the top of the sock. I used these when snorkeling, so they were fully submerged as soon as I got in the water.

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.

They float and the built in tethers work well. I used them for river boarding and the whitewater knocked them off. Fortunately, the tethers held true and I kept my fins for the restof the ride. A great value

I have 4 different pairs. No issues. I used one pair as board shorts in water and no problems!

No, they don't float in liquid - they're heavy, and there is no reason I can think of to put them in a liquid. They are only decorative - they have no cooling properties whatsoever.

Good question. I don't swim with or own a pair of fins so I can't answer for certain....but it fits my shoes with plenty of room to spare. I'd be willing to bet they would fit. Best wishes!
