5.0 out of 5 stars Best of both worlds-Fast fins that act like a shoe..., April 27, 2008

Ever try to walk around in swim fins, especially the long ones? It ain't easy. The Trek's made it a breeze for me though I probably looked like a duck because of their shape.

I tried the long and thin Proflex II's but they were so flimsy they curled with every kick of my legs creating drag which quickly tired me out. Walking in them was impossible.

The Trek's stiffness and short length propelled me through the water like I was flying using rapid stiff leg bent at the knee minikicks. They held their own advancing against the strong current of tuber's river rapids without a problem. Also used them as shoes to brace myself standing moving limestone boulders the size of 5 gallon water jugs out of the way of the rapids.

I couldn't believe how tough these fins were. The rubber/plastic material is thicker than the Proflex II's and they fit perfectly and comfortably. I walked on concrete without slipping and could brace myself from hitting huge underwater... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good fins for travel., February 21, 2010

I really love these fins. I bought them because they are short, so I can easily put them in my backpack when traveling to and from the boat and beach into the water.

You get as much power as long fins because they're wider. I've used them while snorkeling in Bonaire, Hawaii, and Thailand.

The best part is you can walk in them! Either from the beach into the waves or after getting ready to dive on a boat. You just can't do that with regular long fins. This is a HUGE convenience.

The only reason I'm knocking a star off my rating is I had a busted buckle. I just did a McGyver and wrapped a hairband to keep the buckle on. Still works great and no problems since!

I got that buckle replaced for free by the manufacturer, so yay!

I've now taken them to Fiji, Australia, and Maui and they continue to impress. My fellow scuba divers assume they don't work as well as the long ones and are amazed... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Men - Size Matters Most !!, November 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
The fins are very narrow and if your foot has any arch or even resembles wide, then do not expect this fin to fit. Only if you are a small male with a narrow foot and no arch can you expect even the largest size to fit. Read the other reviews to see the same news, I should have and normally do. I have been diving 20 + years, worked at a dive store and taught diving. I am former football player with a size 10-D foot. I bought the largest size travel fin US Diver makes in this product, checked both US Diver travel fin products on Amazon before I purchased to make certain I bought the largest. These fins are so narrow my wife took them and with her fin booties and fin strap adjustment, they fit her great, she wears a size 8 shoe but small arch. The one time I didn't read the reviews and I should have taken the time. My wife and I travel, I thought these would be a great addition to my snorkel gear, having seen them with other divers in the Caribbean Islands. I am going to check the... Read more
