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.

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

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.

These fins are pretty adjustable and comfortable, so unless your feet are EEE wide, the XL probably would fit. As long as the foot pocket fits comfortably it should be OK. Make sure the Shredder model you get has the solid blade and not the one with the split in the middle which really decreases power in the water for anything other than slow snorkeling. The split blade design isn't really optimum for swimming or body boarding.

I can't speak for ocean but I've been using these rods on the great lake and have caught kings in the upper 20's and low 30's with no problem. They are hard to beat for the price.Good luck.

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,

Fins are practical with the Skagit. It will be a little awkward because you're seated a little higher but I usually have my feet in the water when I'm not moving around.

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

I believe you are talking child size 12. With that in mind I would suggest ex small or small. It is ok to wear a little big they move smoothly threw the water even when big. I am a swimmer not a sales person I could be wrong. Check with sport stores and see if they carry fins that she could try on. good luck. They do help adults and children.

I think so. I wear size 5 medium and there was still room. Not a huge amount but i think a 5 wide would find them comfortable. I really liked these a lot more than my old longer fins.

Works well with waders ....used them the other day barefoot and they are uncomfortable after only a short time. Keep in mind we use them while in fishing tubes (like small boats ) to get around the lakes. I may try them with a pair of those water shoes on and see how they feel... In the summer i rather fish without the waders (which have the boots attached) so trying to find the most comfortable way to wear these flippers to be able to move around the lake.... Def not barefoot.... Hope this helps

I would go for the extra small especially if your feet are narrow. I had a pair of smalls when they were made by Zura and that is what I ordered this time. Way too big. My shoe size runs 7 1/2 to 8 in regular shoes when I can find something narrow enough. I wear New Balance size 8 1/2 narrow for workouts. I now have a pair of extra smalls in the fins from Aqua Sphere and they seem to be working. I am having a bit of trouble with the left fin rubbing just below my ankle bone but I think it will callas over and be okay. I hope this is helpful for you.

Good question. I don't swim with or own a pair of fins so I can't answer for certain....but it fits my shoes with plenty of room to spare. I'd be willing to bet they would fit. Best wishes!

These fins are extremely buoyant. They are great for lap swim, but if you like to swim under the water when snorkeling, as opposed to floating on top, you will have to wrestle with these as they tend to make you float feet-up. Better to have neutral fins for snorkeling.

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.

Well, according to the box, it seems that their sizing stops at men's size 13. You might be okay getting that size (XL, Blue) but maybe a different fin has that size. My size is right in the middle of the range for my fins (7-9) and would say it's a good fit but a bigger foot would fit just fine.

It's been a while since I last purchased my fins. I wear a size 5 and bought the smallest size. I would assume that a medium would be the right size to fit a size 7. They are adjustable, so the size seems pretty flexible.
