Cressi Palau Adjustable Open Heel Snorkeling Swim Fins Blue

Bought these last-minute for a three week trip to the Costa Brava, Spain They were just the right size to be able to squeeze into my carry-on. Used for a total of at least 30+ hours in the water, for snorkelling and spearfishing all along the coast. I definitely wasn't expecting much out of a $30 pair of fins but these performed exceptionally well. While tight on my feet (size 13 shoe) the material was supple enough to conform to my wide forefoot/narrow heel, and stayed put for hours at a time while also being very comfortable (no blisters). For those with larger feet, it helps to grab the fins by the harder plastic on the side of the boot and just twist the boot side to side while pulling onto the foot (same to remove). These fins stayed tight and did not come loose once (on a powerful swimmer). There is a little tab that locks onto the grooves on the strap, it's important that the tab is pushed in otherwise the strap will come loose (possibly the source of complaints about straps not staying tight). Overall very pleasant experience with these fins, recommend them highly.

I was looking for an easier to use fin for snorkeling and for when my feet are sore from my long free diving fins, and these fins are excellent! The foot pocket is extremely comfortable, I love that I don’t have to wear a sock or boot with them. The fin/blade is very flexible, so much that when I first tried them on in the pool it felt like I wasn’t wearing any fins (but this might be due to me just being used to wearing long stiff blades). These fins are great for snorkeling or beginners who don’t yet have that muscle strength. I would not recommend theses for scuba or freediving as they require a lot of exertion when trying to dive deeper. However they are of excellent quality, price, and comfort.I usually have a shoe size of women’s 6.5-7 and the X-XS were perfect.

The media could not be loaded. I wear a women’s size 8 and I got the S/M they are literally perfect no rubbing at all and I have really skinny feet so usually there is wiggle room but these were perfect. They are so comfortable. The rubber is so soft on my feet and they don’t rub anywhere. They are the perfect combination of stiff and flexible, and they are just long enough where you get good propulsion, SUPER RECOMMEND!

Love these fins they fit perfectly, super comfy I couldn't believe how nice it was to wear snorkeling in our local lakes without my boots. The adjustable strap is a great change to the normal fitted fin. It's just a really really great fin super fast traction not too heavy to maneuver in. I had small US Diver fins that did not power in the water like these do for long distance swimming, snorkeling or diving they are definitely a high quality fin for the price...

These do the job perfectly for snorkeling. My foot size is Men's US9 so I bought the large ones in order to use size small booties with it. It worked, but it's a tad bit snug. The straps are pretty sturdy, however the buckles are all plastic--including the attachment to the fin, so i don't have a lot of confidence in them lasting --although i've used them on 10 outings so far without a problem. Some reviews complain about the buckle allowing the strap to come loose during use, but I've not had that problem. Also, the large ones fit well enough without booties on a US9 foot as well (with the straps totally tightened down the the max). PS. if not using booties, at least use some socks, that goes for any fins in general. (any normal nylon socks will do) I know it seems weird at first, but you'll thank me later -- it eliminates all chafing.

Great set of fins..ok for traveling. Not quite true 'travel size' but the larger blades help with the thrust, the extra couple of inches are great. The straps tend to come loose a bit on your foot, so be careful to not loose them. A spring support would be great, but they're just inexpensive plastic. Cheap price for a good temp or seldom use item.

These fins are amazing. Very, very comfortable — no rubbing, very soft. Easy to wear for hours upon hours of snorkeling. They propel you very well in the water, and are easy to put on and take off.Not easy to walk on land though, so put them on and take them off in the water. I am so glad we purchased these, they made our trip fabulous.HOWEVER:My one caveat is that on our last day, the heel strap on one of my husband’s fins randomly popped completely off while snorkeling on a reef in the Bahamas, and we never found it. He had never adjusted or messed with it, so we don’t know why it came off. The design seems to be made so that removing that strap is not easy and it should be very secure. But apparently something was not fit correctly somehow and it came off, rendering the fin useless. Thankfully it was the last day of our vacation. Had it happened earlier, it would have ruined our reef snorkeling plans. And now we have a useless pair of fins.I contacted the company to see if they will make this right. I asked for a replacement strap or replacement fin. I will update this review to 5-star if they get back to me and handle this issue adequately.

Comfortable fit except the ankle/foot strap adjuster doesn’t hold the size you strap into. They come off my feet and I almost lost them 3 times while diving :(. It doesn’t lock and I can feel the strap adjusting looser as I swim

My husband wanted new flippers and was happy to get these. He has tried them in the lake for diving and has brought them to the pool for lane swim. They stay on which was a concern for him since his old ones would fall off. I even tried them and enjoy them. 5 stars no issues we could find with them. Sadly we did only get to use them four or five times as they came late in the season for outdoor swimming. I still think they will be fine.

Didn't like the flip flopping pricing used to draw customers in but a lot of sites use it. As well, I wanted the Orange trim to match my Smaco system but it flipped around and now I have the lemon trim. Cressi has a great name so hopefully will hold up - not that I use much any more but we shall see...

Bought them for my twins. Good to grow in. And soft on the feet. Eu size 43

Trop bien plus que les vacances
