CRESSI Adult Short Light Swim Fins with Self-Adjustable Comfortable Full Foot Pocket - Perfect for Traveling - Agua Short: Made in Italy

Ho acquistato da poco le pinne Cressi Agua Short per le mie sessioni di allenamento in piscina e devo dire che sono rimasto molto soddisfatto. Pro: - Leggerezza: Sono realizzate con materiali di alta qualità, sono molto leggere, il che le rende comodissime da indossare anche per periodi prolungati. - Performance: La pala corta di queste pinne è un ottimo compromesso tra spinta e agilità. Pur richiedendo una frequenza di battuta leggermente superiore rispetto alle pinne a pala lunga, consente di muoversi agilmente in acqua e di ottenere una gran bella propulsione con un po' di allenamento. - Versatilità: Perfette sia per il nuoto in piscina che per lo snorkeling al mare. Facilità di trasporto: Non sono troppo grandi, entrano in una borsa per palestra di medie dimensioni (ci vanno anche tranquillamente in valigia, son lunghe circa 40cm). Consigli sulla taglia: Vista la ghiotta offerta ho preso la taglia 11.5 US che corrisponde ad una 45/46 (nonostante normalmente porti una 44) ed in effetti mi calza leggermente grande. Ho risolto con un dei calzini in neoprene per il nuoto. Conclusioni: Sono un prodotto top, senza dubbio. Le consiglio a chi cerca un paio di pinne leggere, performanti e versatili per il nuoto o lo snorkeling da portare facilmente in vacanza o in piscina.

(Written by husband, size US 13 feet) Given how difficult it is for me to find shoes that fit, I was initially wary of a non-adjustable heel- how could it possibly fit ok just by chance? Turns out these fit snugly but not too tight, they’re easy to get on and off, and even after several hours in the ocean they remained comfortable and not rubbing or squeezing anywhere. At no point in relatively choppy water did I feel like they were going to come off my heel, and no cramping in the arch. I have size 12.5/13 extra wide feet (EEE/E depending on the shoe) that are basically flipper-shaped already: narrow heel, very wide at the base of toes, think triangular. I got the large (EU 45/46). Unlike other fins I’ve had, these actually have decent room all the way from heel to toe, and there’s width at the toes so that they aren’t squished together. After reading reviews of similar flippers with heel straps that break, I’m glad I went with these- no concern that they will break on a trip and leave me high and dry. I got a second pair of the medium (EU 43-44) for my son who has size 9.5/10 feet and he agreed that they were easy to get on and off, and much more comfortable (esp in the roomy toe area) than the equivalent sized heel strap version I initially purchased. He didn’t complain at both times he used in the ocean, which is saying something for a teenager. For the record, he also tried on my L size (45/46) and said they too fit comfortably, but he did not try them in the water and I would be concerned that they would slip off his heel. Clearly these don’t have the propulsion of full length dive fins that I would use for serious dives or snorkeling over a large area / rough water, but for casual relaxed snorkeling just a few hundred meters out from the beach they do the job, and are obviously much easier to pack (2 sets fit in my carry on luggage with plenty of room for other things).

Product (fins) as described - fits well - works great!

Great product. Used them in Cancun for a week. No discomfort on the feet even after hours of use. Very efficient and packable. Highly recommended for snorkeling. Larger/longer ones not needed.

Used these fins for the first time swimming laps in the pool today. They have a smaller fin area then some of the other travel size fins, but they worked pretty well and the 45-46 size fit my size 12 feet perfectly. These would probably be good for size 12-13 US. The foot pockets are very soft and I'd say these are the most comfortable fins I've ever worn. They provide enough power to speed you up a bit when swimming laps or for casual snorkeling as long as there isn't much current. They are also very light weight and will be perfect for packing into a carry-on bag. My wife got a pair of size 37-38 that fit her size 7 women's feet very well, but the surface area of the fin is much smaller than on the larger size I'm using and I'm concerned that they won't provide much additional thrust in the smaller size. I originally bought us both the U.S. Diver's Trek Travel Fins as they have much more surface area and provide a great deal more propulsion, but the poor design of the buckles allowed the straps to loosen up constantly and if you were swimming aggressively they would even pull all the way through the buckles and allow the fins to fall off your feet, so I returned them and bought these instead. These fins don't provide anywhere near as much thrust in the water, but at least they are comfortable to wear and stay on your feet. I wish these fins had a little more surface area to give added thrust, but they should work pretty well for fitness lap swimming and snorkeling off the shore on vacation.
