Can they be used for deep water walking?

As far as I know they can, I use them in the deep end of the pool. They are easy to release. I would call the compnay to be sure

Hi Linda, Yes, they are great for deep water walking. I walk in 4" water. I especially like that you can adjust the weights. Kathie

Yes, they work great for deep water walking. I use them routinely for that! They make for a great workout.

Yes, of course they can be used for deep water walking, but make sure your head remains above this 'deep water'....... :D

I've need tried them for deep water walking but I don't know why you couldn't use them that way. They advertise their use for swimming and exercise in a pool.

Absolutely. I do the ski and bicycle movements with buoyant dumbbells that help keep me afloat. You'll have to find what works for you. When I got them, I immediately took half of the weights out.

I'm not a windsurfer. I think these would work. They fit like a snug sock and the sole is thinner than a regular shoe, with grippy texture. You still feel what you are walking on, kind of like a moccasin

No they are not water tight. You want to get yourself some Muck boots for that my friend.

I bought them for diving because my boots were too wide for my foot and they worked great for me. And I walked around on the soft deep sand at the beach in Panama City Beach in Florida with them. I didn't notice any sand that had gotten in. I really like them. They fit securely around the lower ankles. I hope this helps.

Nope... you can not swim with them but they are good for sand storms and snowboarding.

With careful walking yes, they should. But they don't offer much protection as far as a sole so I'd be very careful about watching where I put my feet in case there is glass or something of that nature.

I don't surf so I can't really address your question. I have, however, used these while rafting and they are great. The only problem I had was the sole is so thick it hard for you foot to get a good grip on a rocky surface. So, my guess it that they would be OK for surfing, but I've had not direct experience. Good luck.

No. These are dive boots which are made of the same neoprene material as wetsuits and are not waterproof.

Yes, possibly so, unless you anchor them down somehow. I haven't done that and haven't used them when it's wet, so I can't be sure. Sorry.

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,

Hi Giulie, I got these for my grandson for lifeguarding. As long as you aren't dragging them in the sand/rocks on take off or landing they should be find.

Yes, these are good for scuba diving. You can wear them alone in fins or as an additional layer inside a dive boot. Personally, I cannot wear the "dive boots" without a sock. So these work very well and they give you some additional protection from the water temp

Yes u can. But they are best for marine enviroments. U can get a cheaper pair for ur car that are not weather proof

I'm not sure if they would stay in place underwater. You could walk on them barefoot.

No. The fins are very lightweight but are meant to be used over wader booties when float tubing. They cannot be used with bare feet. The geometry is also all wrong for snorkeling. It sounds like you are looking for "shortie" fins like the kind used by body surfers in Hawaii. If you are not a strong swimmer you need full size fins suitable for quick entry and exit in surf or for avoiding currents/rips. Don't try to cut corners on fins. Suggest if you want to cut weight you go to a dive shop and try out multiple pairs of fins. Pick the lightest fins that still have decent fit and a reasonable amt of thrust/surface area for your intended use and swimming ability.

Fins are not deep-if your concern is hitting rocks etc, I wouldn't worry. Fine anywhere deep enough for a paddle.

I would think you could. They work very well and are lightweight to move. They do stay filled quite a while once activated and you may need to adjust how they are stacked to balance. They keep the water well away from your house during flood weather.
