We are going to Maui. Some reviewers claim fins are too small for ocean. Has anyone tried these fins in Maui?

I didn't try them in Maui, but Kauai. Size doesn't really matter because after about an hour of use, they'll be broken. And you shouldn't expect to get your money back. I bought two sets and both sets were garbage within the first few hours. Big waste of money.

I used this snorkel set in Kona on the big island and had no trouble with them. We also went out on the Body Glove tour boat, and they worked well for that. I think that people have too high expectations for this set. It's not a set you'd use with tanks. I had no trouble in twenty-five feet of water, on a nice day, and was able to dive down about Fifteen feet. I think I could have gone deeper if I could have held my breath longer. They are a little big for kids. My daughter had trouble with her mask leaking.

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

Yes. My fins are 15" long and they fit. Fins up to 17" should fit and still be able to zip the top. Longer fins will require leaving the top unzipped.

I used them snorkeling and paddle boarding. I would think they would grip the board just fine and stay on. Been awhile but I think I ordered size 13 and I'm a 12 and they fit well. Good luck

Only with small fins like FCS or Future. If you have a larger middle fin, like on a longboard, no.

That's the same size I am. I bought these fins when they were made/sold by Zura, but they are exactly the same as the pair we recently bought for my husband. I bought XS when they had the Jura name on them. Under the Aqua Sphere name my husband recently bought Large, and his shoe size is 10.5

The fins are about 0.5", or slightly under after a bit of use and compression. it will just fill a 0.5" gap, but will not be a snug fit, and I'll guess a little air might get in on a windy day.

I would imagine they could be but they are 3-4 inches shorter than regular fins.

I have a pair and like them a lot. not sure what you mean by 'work'?. they work for me, but can't compare to longer fins as I never owned any.

These are great fins and I have had them now for three years. The rubber is not uncomfortable. It is not brick hard nor does it agitate your skin. I am not an expert or pro, but it feels very comfortable during use. I might suggest you put them on and off while in the water...

I have the medium pair and the measurement from the heel to the tip of the fin is 15". We were snorkeling in the French Polynesian islands, so it wasn't heavy duty stuff. It worked very well for us.

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.

Trig: Hi. I also scuba dive and when I do I use my full size fins. I just used these Travel fins again last week on vacation and they worked great for snorkeling. My opinion would be to use full size fins for scuba diving.

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

I wear a size 5.5 and it was loose on me. The fins were slipping off my feet in the water and I tightened the strap to the max. Next time I'll try wearing water booties or my water shoes with it. Hope this helps, thanks!

I think is the same. But, I would like to advice you that if you are planning to use them at the ocean they are not very appropriate. The straps tend to lose and or to drift away and the system is not very stable. I can only use them at them pool. For waves there are other models with fixed strap that are more functionals. Hope this help

first, these are wonderful fins to wear. I believe they should be. If the top is a little snug you can trim a little off the top curve of the foot. I wear an 8.5 and use a med and they are perfect. You don't want them loose fitting.
