Soft Full Pocket Long Blade Fins for Freediving Speafishing | Gara Professional LD Made in Italy by Cressi: Quality Since 1946

Size: I wear a 10.5 US Men's. I first bought a smaller size (42/43) due to some recommendations on the reviews here, but it was way too small. I also need to wear 5mm booties due to cold local waters, and it was almost impossible to put on. I returned it for a bigger size (44/45) and it fits well with both bare feet and 5mm booties.Functionality: With 5mm booties my feet float while kicking on the surface, which puts a lot of stress on my feet and ankles. If I dont force my feet down when I kick, it will slap the surface, and my ankles get sore quick. When I am underwater, these fins work very well and propel me very fast both swimming around at the bottom and kicking back up. My feet do get sore after an hour wearing these with 5mm booties, but I think I just need to wear out the foot pocket some more with my feet size and shape. They are also harder to put on than my scuba open heel fins. I will most likely use these fins when boat diving or shore diving with little to no surf. I will keep my open heel cressi light weight scuba fins for rocky shore diving (with scuba boots) and big surf shore diving.

These are great fins, I wear a mens (US) size ten and I ordered the US Men's 8/9 and the fit perfectly. I spearfish and free dive in Hawaii weekly and these are great fins, they are well made and fun great...and speed and flex are great too. Good but, go for it. Built well and can take walking and swimming through reef. The foot cuff is a nice form and very sturdy/comfortable.

Exactly what I expected when ordering cressi . Size is perfect I use a 12 and order a 12 and they fit perfect. Order came earlier than expected and I’m very happy with then cuality of the item and recomend it to anions looking for a good pair of flippers . The flexibility on them gives you the right motion to create the perfect speed without much effor which is exactly what you need. Just great

These flippers are great but the fit is too large. I am a size 8.5 to 9. I ordered the 41 and it is too large on the foot, even if I wear a booty. Feels like it's men's sizing.

Good long fins especially for the price. I use them for freediving in the lake mostly and they are comfortable and give good speed. Not quite as fast as a stiffer flipper would be, but they are more comfortable and easier to tread water with. Only long fins I've used that don't make my ankles and the tops of my feet sore.

Size. I wear size 10.5 shoes. I bought the 8/9 fins. I wore without socks. Fits great. Don’t think I’d have issues even with socks. I’d recommend to get 1 size smaller from shoe size.Great fins. Good quality.Cons: Not very travel friendly. Not going to fit in a carry on. Have to bend to fit in luggage bag. Read reviews about how that wouldn’t be damaging.Overall very satisfied. I’m not a professional freediver - I’m going to use it for deep snorkeling dives.

Only issue I have is that they don't make a smaller foot size, but I added a neoprene 5mm sock and they're more snug. Also, difficult to get these on in a hurry, ie. a whale shark is cruising by! But that is likely just due to size of the fin and the design, not this brand or particular product. Another great product from Cressi! Wonderful flexibility and increased speed dramatically. Just have to swim sideways if you are snorkeling, because the fins are so long and come out of the water which ruins your momemtum and creates quite the splash if you are trying to be stealth-like. Overall, excellent for duck-dives and free diving all around.

Arrived really quickly. Is super comfortable and easy to put on and take off with soft footpocket. Thin soft blades, polypropylene material and footpocket placement beneath the fin makes it super efficient; you get great propulsion without the feel of a heavy blade on your foot, you actually barely feel it at all so your leg muscles sont fatigue quickly at all, kicks or smooth and have almost no drag. All in all Great Buy.....Ps...from the surface, bend at the hips and thrust ur shoulders down, shoot ur legs up and kick just TWICE and You'd already be crossing 12 feet. Master proper equalization techniques and You'd be making 30 ft dives in no time

Needed them to have side channels to direct the water as the carbon fibers flippers have also need to be 6 inches longer of that size to increase the water volume to kick outThe plastic has memory unfortunately is not like the carbon fiber but from the other side are cheaperAre good flippers for entering level

Not to bad they are just okay

Sehr gute Ware, Mann muss nur dran denken, dass wegen die Länge beine leicht überlastet

Long fins with a medium flexibility that makes for a smooth kick. They are very effective for covering great distances. The foot pocket is positioned under the blade, which is fantastic for reducing propulsion effort. Truly enjoyable in every aspect!
