Top 10 best swimmer fins 2023 recommended by experts

Fit well and gave good kick for lap swimming. However, after 1.5 years of 3000 meters per week, the rubber at the foot exit broke and could not be glued back.

I nearly didn’t purchase these because of the negative reviews about chafing and/or boot splits (splits down the back when putting on). Several of my previous fins did cause some toe chafing and also split down the back after a couple years of use.These fins are the most comfortable I’ve ever used. The rubber boot is very pliable and they slip on super easily. I thought, in fact, they might not fit right and might kick off, but once they’re on, they are nice and secure. I’ve experienced no foot discomfort either.And…bonus…even though I’ve swam several miles weekly for years, I 100% feel like my kick has improved quite a lot. These fins keep my feet in perfect position, and I really have to work a bit to kick, which has developed some hip flexor and hamstring strength, I think, but also corrected some muscle memory to keep me streamlined like I should be.I really can’t recommend these fins enough. I love them.

Great for lap swimming and increasing awareness of technique. I started with red Zoomers many years ago, then switched to blue when they came out because they were a medium stiffness and more comfortable than the red. Loved the blue. These gold Finis swim fins are almost exactly like the blue, from what I remember. Medium stiffness, so they give you power but not so stiff they make you cramp.I’ve been swimming ~ a mile (half of which I use the fins) 3 times a week for 10 months with them, and they’re still in perfect shape. I expect them to be very durable and last a long time. The size chart was perfect for me. Highly recommend.

I have used these fins swimming laps several times per week for months. There was no ‘breaking in’ period or need to build tolerance. No hint of blisters ever. My feet slide in fairly easily and I can manage to put them on while standing in the pool on one foot. My feet aren’t thin, so I am not sure about the review that said they wouldn’t go on but I am suspecting this person needed a larger size. I bought the size recommended on the chart and they are perfect. The fins have held up well with no deterioration. I do not find them heavy at all. In the past, I have had to remove other fins for a few laps to let my feet rest but I wear these for my entire mile and forget that I have them on. I will cry if they ever quit making these because I never want to wear the old style fins again! I am going to buy a spare set, just in case!

These fins are not light in weight, but they help to strengthen the leg muscles. Wearing these rubber fins also helped to keep my legs afloat.As for comfort, I got no blisters because my first two toes are long and were over “the foot bed line”. They did not rub against the rubber material.[I am a women’s size 11, and the size F are a good fit.]

Pro:- Fits wide thick feet well. XXL fits male shoes size 13.- Durability: Have it for 2 years and still good, although it’s just started to tear a little bit on the top of the feet might be because his feet got too big.Purpose: Swim Team training.This is the only brand that fit my son’s wide thick feet.My 13 yrs old son was size 11 couple years ago, the XL fins fit him well and comfortable.This summer his feet got to size 13 and outgrew the XL fins, size XXL fits him well and the only brand he can wears. We tried other brands and they were too tight, some non major brand would fits but do not help with training.

Love using these flippers for my lap swimming. They are comfortable and smooth sailing. 😎

My kids love these. The smallest size possible fits a 3 year old who wears a size 8.

Just as described good fit

I’m always a little leery about using the sizing charts but this one is spot on. Product seems durable and is lightweight. My girls swim coach prefers the shorter fins, says they are better for your kick.

Though my family has been involved in competitive swimming for decades, us parents were heading to the US and British Virgin Islands for a week’s vacation spent on a 50′ Catamaran where we could expect many stops to snorkel and explore. I wanted fins but not huge, heavy fins that would take up a lot of my limited luggage space. These fins gave me the propulsion I wanted for snorkeling yet were light and compact. I could fit them ahead of time so I knew I had what I wanted before I left for the trip. These were perfect for that! I used them every time I went into the water! Being short, they were relatively easy to walk in or swim in. I thought they were very affordable and THE answer to my concerns!

Fits nicely on my size 10.5 foot, I feel the speed and the burn, and makes working with the kick board more enjoyable (since you move faster through water, less boredom).Haven’t tried them in the ocean, pool only, and I rinse them and use a bit of soap in the shower after each swim. Haven’t had them long enough to know if they’re durable. They still have a pleasant scent to them (kinda like a baby teething ring).

Great fit! Easy to use and help your kick in the water

Nice bright colors.Meet expectations, it could’ve been more comfortable when wearing it, but once in the water zero complaints

These fins were the perfect size. I love that the “white” part of the grey and white fins was actually more of a light purple! I prefer boot style fins over the type with a strap. These were great fir my snorkeling trip to Maui!

These fins work great for swim training. They fit well and they are not too floppy.

Very comfortable for the kiddos. My kids love these and it motivated them to swim.

We had read about using flippers to help address tiptoeing with our autistic son. These are absolutely wonderful and do the job beautifully. I can see them helping as he wear some around the house. Retraining your brain to walk with flat feet is no joke. Glad these fit so beautifully and slide on and off easily for him.

As my first pair of fins, I love these! They DO make you faster in the water. They have good comfort and fair flotation that is a tad inconsistent. I haven’t had too many issues with these coming off. They have decent adjustment on them, but are most comfortable with diving socks or diving booties.

After trying numerous (like a lot over the years) fins, this the one that feels most natural while in the 💦. Makes backstroke a breeze, and individual medleys fun and encouragingly repeated. Makes leg kicks 💪 too, after taking them off. The floating feature helps entire leg up and streamlined with body, creating a muscle memory beneficial to having proper posture while swimming. Material quality is very good. Makes swimming even more enjoyable.
