Cressi Palau Fins - Adjustable Long or Short Fins Adults and Children for Snorkelling and Swimming

I went on vacation a few years ago to a remote resort and found they didn't stock size 47 fins. Instant disaster; and discomfort wearing fins a size too small.Since then I have packed a pair of fins; though they take up an enormous amount of space. I found the Cressi Short fins address that by being the mini me of fins. The foot pocket was supple out of the box and the open pocket design means you can use it with or without dive sock. The adjustable rear grip made it easy to get the size correct; on bare skin it did slip off once - and the fin sank to the bottom (thankfully only 8m so it was quickly rescued.)The fin itself is rigid and as advertised short. It is fine for lazy movements; but for swimming in high current I definitely missed having more surface to fight it. The shortened design released 1/4 of my suitcase back for other use which is the reason to get a pair. Besides an hour in a high current area I never found myself struggling with the shorter fins and did enjoy being able to take more clothes away with me.

Great, perfect fitting, awesome colour, feels great whilst in water. May have few minor issues with the strap... whilst in water or engaged in swimming strap often feels looser or slips off every now and then

Those were too tight for me, i have 47D size feet. Also wanted to wear them over 2mm neoprene socks.

not very comfortable if you have sensitive feet.

slightly smaller, but still good for snorkelling, had fun with them
