Looking for input on these fins by someone who puts in significant mileage each week (30-40K or more). Are they really going to hold up?

Can't really answer on the significant mileage. They seem to be well made and I don't see any reason they wouldn't hold up well. I chose them because they are modest in size and don't overstress my ancient legs.

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 didn't have anything break. The whole system does not feel right. I returned my fins right away, stick with DUCK FEET. You will never go wrong with Duck Feet, that is if you are a Body Surfer.

Yes, there is a tight fit on these fins! They will be fine I bought 3 of them! Love them!

Still have reasonable good tread on my 4x4 ranger at 30K and I do power take off a lot. That may sound like a low mileage, but they are the originals on my 2005 and starting to dry rot. So I am looking to replace them before next winter. I just wish I could find Steel rims 16 inch because the Aluminum are a pain in the cold extremes with losing tire pressure.

The pair that i had didn't make it three good months and I only used them for working out but I sweat a lot more than the average person . My thought is if they couldn't handle the occasional sweat they may not hold up good for swimming . Maybe I had a bad pair. I liked them enough to buy another pair .

Hi Raymond, I wish I could help you but I haven't used mine yet. I intend to get back to bass fishing sometime, but I'm basically a fly fishermen and I'm having a hard time putting my mind back into spinning gear mode. Yes, they sound good, and I hope someone can offer you a definitive answer soon. Tight lines! Regards, Ron

I used them 2-3 days per week for lap swimming until they stopped working this week. I echo Craig's answer about making weird turns. Sometimes I also flood my ears when I exhale hard and the air bubbles put just enough odd pressure on one of the buds. I still like having them even with their quirks, until of course they died. they never went two meters deep, so I will try sending them in for warranty repair, but I'm not hopeful.

Hi! Yes they are great! Mine stayed on through 80 mile per hr. speeds! Heavy rain and ice as well... Definitely recommend!

I had problems on my first marathon a few years back and then I bought a pair of the standard green ones a couple year ago. I've since used them for training and have had NO issues with feet getting numb, sore or even arches getting 'worn out'. I recently used the green ones on my marathon last year and I can't complain... they worked AWESOME, no tired feet! I use them over the socks and readjusted the ties on my shoes. I will be purchasing the blue ones soon and hopefully they work just as well. By the way, I've had the green ones for a couple years now and it is still in great shape, use them weekly.

No idea... Sorry. I choose these ones and I am still super happy with them, I got them over a yr now and I still use them at least twice a week with my fins. Quality is awesome and they look like new. But I rinse 'm off in the sink with fresh water after every use....

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 have them on my 2007 Suburban and really like them. I have close to 40,000 miles on them and they still have good tread. The vehicle handles well with these tires to.

I wear an ll man's shoe, and their 'large" size is a really tight fit. you might be ok, a bit loose, they SAY you can fix by wearing a sock. i could not swim any faster with them than with large scuba fins, and I had to work much harder with the aqua fin. I am not, however, training to really swim, just to endure, lose weight, and built leg muscle. If your goals are different, they might work for you.

It's a product improvement. The original design overheated and was notorious for failing. I bought an OEM replacement and it also had the bigger fins.

I have had mine for a year and they are still good. probably 20k miles so far so good.

Great question. My grandson and I flew the rocket approximately 6 times, after a couple of our own modifications (not having a bicycle pump, I hooked my truck's portable air compressor to the rocket, along with an additional 25 foot small diameter plastic tube extension (I found this at a garage sale for ?? $0.50 - new)). The rocket flew well, but, in the process, we broke one fin and cracked a second fin. Now I need new fins! I thought about calling the company and asking them for a dozen replacement fins, if the cost was not too prohibitive. I haven't contacted them yet, but I will. Otherwise, the rocket is grounded. Let me know if you have any luck and I will follow through on my call. I'll post any results of my call on my updated customer feedback sheet. Thanks for submitting your question.

I have a set that I wear each week (meaning that a pair of socks goes through the wash each week and gets used each week). I'm not an extreme runner (I run about three - six miles a week), so I can't speak to how they were with a lot of running, but I bought mine over a year ago and they have held up very well.
