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 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.

I was told by my windsurf instructor that the shoes should be snug, so your feet are not slipping and sloshing around, while trying to stay on top of the board. I would think the size 7 would be appropriate for you if you typically wear 7 1/2 shoes if it is for a board sport. BUT check if that sizing is listed in Mens sizing or Womens ! I assumed one listing was in womens sizes, and it turned out to be mens, so it was too big. you would be a 6 in a mens size.

I'm a men's size 7 in most shoes, those that varies these days from a 6.5 to an 8. I think that is fairly equivalent to a women's 8-9 (if my crocs are any indicator). I have two different pair of Tyr crossblade trainers. A green/grey pair that says 5-6 (38-40) on the bottom (also says 89A and has an "S". These fit fairly well. I also bought a completely yellow pair (may not be the same model) from Sports Authority that are a size smaller. While snug they also fit. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a consistent sizing pattern to these flippers. My best advice is to know your European size (centimeters) and see if they have that information. My experience is that seems to be a little more reliable predictor. Good luck.

I would get them large, The Fins are adjustable and very comfortable, I swim miles in them, however if you don't make sure the foot is seated in the boot, it would be constricting but you would know by feel. With the larger size performing well at depth would be a cinch. Without any more effort than had you got the smaller pair. Adding some versatility to the whole prospect! Get Wet Soon!

I think the XS would be fine for you. They fit snugly to go under your fins, and I wear a 7 1/2 US and ordered a S and they were fine for me. You don't want any wrinkles in your socks or else you are going to have blisters on your feet!

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 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).

NeoSport XSPAN shorts for me are worn with a 0.5 mm long sleeve top. I wear them for warm water SCUBA. What's to reveal? They fit almost like a second skin! Are you serious?

I would think that you should pick a medium. I wasn't sure either. Just guessed at the large and it has worked pretty well. If you have the Plantars issue you'll notice a difference after the first night if you are suffering from the pain especially after first getting up. I forgot to mention the Penetrex cream. I put that on the bottom of my foot and heel for a while. It's pretty great stuff. By all means also look at some really high quality running shoes, even if you don't run. Those Asics Nimbus 16 have been the miracle shoe for me. Make sure it has the gel in the sole. They make a few gel sole shoes. Another Asics gel shoe is the Cumulus but the Nimbus is great. You can order those shoes right here at Amazon if you are pretty sure of your shoe siz size. You're local Foot Locker will probably have them too. Put them on as soon as you get up in the morning too. Skip slippers, going barefoot, etc. Just agravates it more. Look on line for some Plantars excercises too. Good luck.

It would depend on how much buoyancy you need. 3 is fine for my son and he is a big 2 1/2 year old. I would recommend the 3 as I think 4 is overkill but I have only used the 3 and 2 personally! Hope this helps!However it might be helpful if you need to support more weight or to use on a small child to keep them positioned higher in the water. I am not a swim instructor, just my experiences and points of view.

i also have 9.5 men's shoe feet. primarily, you want a bootie that feels good and fits nicely into your fin. i use a 10 because that is comfortable both in and out of my fins and the size 10 bootie does not 'wrinkle' when i put it into my fins. but atlas some will tell you to get a size 9 for a real snug fit ... i have found that unnecessary and not comfortable for long periods of wear ... but i know others who do not mind a tight fit for long periods. your choice, either size will probably work. you might want to go to a local scuba shop and just try on different sizes to see what feels good and take your fins with you too.

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 did not use foot sox/booties. I have male 8 1/2 shoe size and followed the web page sizing chart. The flippers fit perfectly.Be sure to fully tighten the heel straps before swimming.

For Triathlon, it's better if you get the Garmin Fenix line. Both fenix 2 and 3 is pretty good watch and supports multi sports mode.
