There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So, I had Amazon do an exchange for size "F" fins. It was VERY easy to fill out the online info and I had my new fins in 2 days with my Amazon Prime. Amazon also paid for the return shipping on the first pair that was too tight. The return process could not have been more simple.
I got my new Finis Zoomers Gold in 2 days as promised. The Size F fins fit perfect. I recommend if you are at the top end of size range like I am, then order up a size. The E would probably be fine for a size 7.5 (maybe even 8), but was too small for 8.5.
Anyway, I wore my new Zoomers to swim my laps today at the YMCA. I swim a mile (freestyle) three times a week. Up until now, I felt like most of my workout had been in my arms/shoulders. I wanted to feel more work in my legs that's why I bought fins. The Zoomers did exactly what I'd hoped for. I swam my mile in about 5+ minutes less than usual with the Zoomers, but I felt a lot more work in my legs. Because I finished a bit early, I added an additional 5 laps with a kickboard using the Zoomers to work my legs more and that helped too. I think I will see significant improvement in my leg strength by using these.
I highly recommend these, but order up if you are on the top end of a size range.
So, it's been years but I feel I must revisit this review. Over time, I gradually stopped using these fins because they persistently pinched my feet to the point of scraping the skin off the top of the instep. I checked the size and according to the chart, I selected the correct one. Nevertheless, they pinch and abrade the top of my insteps after a short (20 minute) workout. Why now, after so many years? I recently purchased as Finish swim snorkel and wanted to get into serious kick workouts. Alas...I was quickly reminded of the pinching/abrasion problem.
Now, I'm not sure whether to purchase a larger size -- will it be too big? too loose? -- or go for another brand.
So I',m lowering the score from five stars to three. The original review is below...
-----------
I purchased this to add some resistence to my swim work out. It does force you to exercise your legs more than just using a kickboard, or so it seems. When swimming in public pool with a kickboard, it's also nice not to hold up the folks behind you. I would think you would need at least 10-20 minutes of kicking with this to get any sort of worthwhile workout. I do recall some odor when first opening, but it dissipated quickly and no problems since.
