CRESSICressi Adult Snorkeling Full Foot Pocket Fins, Good Thrust, Light Fin, Rondinella: Designed and Made in Italy

I bought these Rondinella fins for my first time snorkeling in over a decade. I'm only a beginner snorkeler, but I used them for a week snorkeling in and around the coral reefs and sharp lava rocks on the Big Island in Hawaii. The rubber in the foot area is super soft and they were easy to put on. With so many waves coming in on the beach when I was putting them on, I needed them to be easy to put on quickly, and they were. I got size 39/40 for my size 8.5 US W feet, and it was a perfect fit. They slipped on easily and never slipped off until I chose to take them off when I was done). They felt smooth while snorkeling, with a fluid, yet powerful propulsion action when I kicked, both single leg and together. The fins themselves got a bit scratched up from the lava rocks on entry and exit, but you'd expect that and those rocks are SHARP. They were only superficial scratches anyway. In terms of packability, I could have put them in my carryon (JUST would have fit) but wouldn't have had much room for other stuff in that side of my bag. If you're traveling light except for your snorkeling gear, they're carry-on worthy. I ended up putting them in a slightly longer duffle bag with my boyfriend's longer and stiffer fins, and that still worked fine as a separate carry-on.Overall, 5 stars and am completely satisfied with these fins!

I rated these 4/5 stars rather than 5/5 because after 6-5 uses, the rubber is just starting to peel on the edges of the blade. Other than that, I am very pleased with them. I should mention that they did NOT break when I got the front of the blade bent under the toe box and I stepped on it with part of my weight (trying to stand in rough water). I normally wear a size 43 shoe and the size 43/44 fins fit great! I was able to wear them on bare feet OR with 2.5mm water socks (which I did nearly every time). I felt like they had good power transfer. While they were initially a little tiring to use due to their length, I got used to it quickly and they saved me so much energy (and helped me swim me pretty fast). I did carry them in a large checked bag - I cannot imagine trying to fit them into carry-on luggage.

These worked great for snorkeling. I highly recommend them.

A little floppy, but about what you'd expect for the price. I like them.

great powerful fins, fit was slightly large but quite comfortable with dive socks on. Slightly too long for my 22" carry-on bag they stuck out about 2" but stayed mostly out of the way.

I like the length of the fin. I’m going snorkeling in Hawaii in September and will update after use. I like that they aren’t too tight. The length is just right and they are slightly too wide. I ordered a size smaller than the recommendation and they fit better than the first pair I ordered. My foot is not narrow. If you have a narrow foot these will be too wide for you.

I wanted smaller fins to travel with for some snorkeling in the Caribbean. These were perfect and fit nicely into my suitcase and were actually comfortable and sturdy.

I bought these along with the Cressi Sirena mask and snorkel to make the most a day out to the beach so i could do some casual freediving. They are absolutely fantastic! The design is excellent, they are light, comfortable, made of specially selected materials to give the best comfort and performance, and they work brilliantly. They require minimal effort to swim with but provide a massive boost for underwater swimming which is an essential combination for holding your breath for long periods of time, minimal effort with maximum speed. Of course, they won't be as good as professional freediving fins but the professional ones are several times longer and about four of five times more expensive. If you just want to make the most of the odd day out and do a bit of casual free diving then these are the best option. Very well designed, all the right kinds of strength in the right places, they feel durable and you can tell they are very well constructed and made to a high standard. I don't doubt that these will last years.One thing i do recommend is to measure your feet and check the official Cressi website to make sure you get the right size. These flippers seem to have a slightly loose fit (very slight) which i assume is so you can wear them with diving socks. Diving socks prevent rubbing and keep your feel warmer in colder water. I didn't use diving socks though and i had no problem with them, I'm a size 11 in normal shoes so i got size 45-46, and they fit very well. They felt slightly loose when i first put them on, only very slightly, but they are comfortable and and didn't feel like they were going to slip off at any point in the water in a whole days swimming, they felt very secure in the water and didn't rub at all. At least i know there's a little room for diving socks if i want to use them with a wet suit in colder water. So if you're a bit unsure of the sizing measure your feet and check Cressi's website just to make sure.I'm so glad i bought these, just wish i'd have bough them sooner so i enjoy casual diving to it's fullest!

This a good for what you pay. Just getting into freediving and didn't want to spend a fortune until I'm sure it's a real thing, so thought I would go cheap .... Blades are firm but have good flextion ... rubber is comfortable to wear ... and the size fits well.

This does as it says. It is full foot which fits snug. Make sure that you get the correct size and the sizes vary and is important. You do not want too big or too small but snug.I use this for snorkelling as well as pool. I am disabled and this gives me better propulsion in the water than the shorter bladed fins which you have to work harder. With these I feel like a fish in water!It is important to get fins that are good and not the cheap variety that breaks so look out for the materials used in these. Cressi is mid range I would say, for simple use. It is strong enough for both snorkelling and pool use at a reasonable price.

I found these fit my feet PERFECTLY and were great to go snorkeling on holiday. I ordered a 33/34 and I'm a size 2 UK. I had no problem with them being too tight and cutting off circulation or being too loose and slipping off. They are great quality and really no complaints other than the fact that the toe opening bit rubbed against my toe on the first day I wore them and left me with a cut. I'm not sure if I got some sand stuck in them or something and it didn't happen again, but it was a bit annoying as it was pretty sore to get into salty water with a cut on my foot.All in all though I'd recommend.

I've been a fan of Cressi fins for years, and these are incredibly good value. They are perfect for snorkelling. They are nice and soft and bendy, giving you good manoeuvrability and helping you get in and out nooks and crannies. They're lightweight and comfortable, and the translucent blue looks fantastic. Highly recommended.
