How long are these fins? I'm trying to get an idea of the size of this set for packing to decide whether to buy sets or just rent at our destination.

we took our sets to Cancun last year. They took up a lot of space in the suitcase, but we went snorkling every day & were very glad we had our own equipment to go whenever we want. The fins for xl mens are about 24 inches

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.

Its roughly 12-16 inches in width with the fins. if you need an exact measurement I can get you one

Sure, they should work for you. They are shorter which, when you are new to this is a good thing. But, unless you are going pro, Trek fin is just fine for what you are doing. Even you are really serious about doing snorkeling all the time then don't spend a lot of money. you can do that for another trip. Neither of these finsare the top of the line but they are easy to pack and easy enough to get used to. Also, taking your own equipment, while perhaps a bit burdensome,is worth it to be able to swim/snorkle whenever you want. Most of the rental shacks have strict times and shut up in the shank of the evening. That said, enjoy your trip! Sure, they should work for you.

Hi Lori, Usually, you can find additional information about a product from it's website. So, I've pasted the below as it relates to the Cressi Palau Long Fins for your convenience. I wear a size 9 or 10 shoe, depending on the brand and ordered the XL (10/11) fins and they fit me fine. The wife I ordered small fins (7/8), she wears a 7.5 shoe size. Hope this helps and good luck. http://www.zappos.com/measure-your-shoe-size PALAU FINS KID (11/12) PALAU FINS XXS/XS (13/1) PALAU FINS XS/S (5/6) PALAU FINS S/M (7/8) PALAU FINS M/L (8/9) PALAU FINS L/XL (10/11)

I will have my husband measure and let you know. We have them in our 3ft inground pool and when stepping onto the first step. U are at like at ankle in water. Very nice steps.

This fins are about 24" long, from tip to heel. By far one of the best fins I have ever purchase. They perform well, from 80 degree water in north easter Brazil to 68 degree on the San Francisco Bay.

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

Do you mean for packing for a trip? It's shipped in a mesh bag but doesn't take up a lot of space out of the bag. 18" long flippers or so.

From experience, I would recommend getting the XL. I'm about the same size as you, and I had contacted Finis to confirm before I purchased my pair.

I measured mine and it is somewhere between 22 and 23 inches. You might be able to compress the heel part to shrink them down to fit a carryon, but might wind up damaging fins. I think Cressi might make a more compact fin that wraps around heel.

Hi, I have the large size - 9..5 - 11.5 and they are just under 22" long. My granddaughter got a medium and they are just under 18" long.Mine fit into my suitcase.

Don't cheap out on fins if you are going on a trip to the Galapagos... my first recommendation would be to think about renting when you get there. If you want to save some money and drag your own all the way, then by all means, try them out in a pool at home first. I brought some US Divers Admiral 2 LX fins to Kauai, HI, and was not happy - I wear size 13 shoes and got the large fins, which were tight and the heel strap buckle slipped apart several times. The fins were a good size for travel, but if you are worried about losing them, you won't enjoy the scenery as much... it also depends upon how rough the water is. Have a wonderful time.

The length is about 5 inches, width is, at widest part, about 3 and a half inches, tapering to about 2.5 at narrowest part. They pack nicely into the spine or side pocket, or front pocket of a regular carry on or 24 inch checked bag. They are a bit oddly shaped and bulky. I'm writing this from Bursa, Turkey, and I brought TWO of them with me on a two week trip...that was all I needed or wanted. They are working well for me hanging wet clean clothing (or dry). A decent buy for the price...I'd buy again. Happy travels!

This fins may not fit your feet. The largest is XL (11-13). I wear shoes size 11 and bought the XL. They are very tight and I had to return them.

No experience with the foam fins, but very happy with "zoomers." My sense is that they will last as long as I will be able to get in the water with them!

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....
