I am trying to improve my kick to swim better at my next triathlon. Would you recommend zoomers gold or the Z2? I am a ladies size 8 1 /2 to 9.

I'm a Triathlon Coach - I have my Athlete's use both pairs - I coach all women - 30yr TriathleteThis pair you have to "think" more about using your kick - the gold being shorter and stiffer will hold more true to form w/o much user input - roger@rgartman.com

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

I wear a 33 and sometimes 34 waist. I have a couple size Large zoot shorts and they fit nicely. They fit pretty snug - probably exactly the way most triathletes want them to. But all of my tri shorts seem to shrink a little over time. So I purchased the XL's for these and I am very happy with them. I would buy an XL again if I had to and I'm guessing that is probably what you should go for. I don't have any issues with any parts sagging or fitting loosely. Depending on your height you may want to go for a shorter inseam as these land an inch or 2 above my knee (just personal preference).

100% Yes..short fins, like the yellow zoomers, are the appropriate fins for beginners to elite to use for technique drilling. I am a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, a USA Triathlon Junior Youth Certified Coach and a Total Immersion Level 2 Swim Instructor....my students use these fins for our drill sets and our kicking sets.

I think the rubber is quite soft actually. They are definitely softer than the Zoomer fins - the Zoomers actually hurt my feet sometimes, and I sized them pretty well. The Microfins to me were sized a bit larger so they are a tad loose on my feet, but they still work out well and do not fall off.

Buy the "yellow"."Orange" will probably be too big.These are wonderful-if learning to swim or if want to do "swimming" "cardio" workout.

I know this is an old question but in case someone is looking at this now, my daughter is a competitive swimmer so I'm always buying fins. She wears a woman's 9 shoe, and goes to a 8.5 or a 9.5 depending on the brand. Get the red fins. She had the yellow last year when she wore a size 8 shoe. The yellow will have your toes sticking out which can hurt after a while if you are size 10. I'm a size 11 shoe and I also use the red fins which are snug on me. Hope that helps someone.

I'm a Triathlon Coach and spend a lot of time w/newbies who have no swimming skills... I always have them get a pair of these to use in all their workouts...

I would go with a 32 if you want it tighter and it'll stretch put the more you wear it or a 34. There's not a huge difference between the two, I wear a 6 and got a 34 because I like mine a little smaller so it's less drag when I swim competitively.

The best for you is A2, because you have to have some room to move faster. Thanks.

Would go with sz. 4You can return if tight.I ordered sz. 5 for sz. 10 foot.

The z03 can be saltwater fished....HOWEVER, I would strongly recommend a huge fresh water shower afterwards. You will notice a change in performance very quickly if you do not keep the salt from sitting...even overnight! Just got back from the coast with 3. Gave them several good baths but still believe I can feel where I did not get the salt out. It's doable, but perhaps not recommended.

Without a doubt. Try using it with Agility and Marathon for best results. I rush scrubs all day long with the gold-plated version.

I'm a women's size 10. And I got the large size. I wouldn't go with the small. It will definitely be too tight. Being a woman's size 10, the large size of the sure sport ultra fits perfectly.

I have a pair of PMX70s and I too wanted an upgrade. I made the mistake of getting the PMX680s which sound like crap--don't waste your money on the 680s! At this point, I'm going to try the PMX90s which are probably not the best for sweaty runners, but for $22 shipped I don't mind giving them a shot. Plus I have an extra set of non-foam pads from my HD25-1 IIs which I will retrofit onto the PMX90 drivers.

Go with the four step ladder. For older swimmers it provides a much easier egress. Ideally you want at least two full steps below the water line, but three is much better. Also, BUY stainless steel bolts and nuts, they include JUNK, and incorrectly assumed they were stainless, and mine have aready deteriorated and need to be replaced. Salt environment they lasted two months. Ladder itself is great.
