    I'm going to give the Alpha Fin, I've got heavy legs in the water and I could benefit from the added 'float' feature.

    Very interesting! I used to swim with the DMC/Hydro Tech Fins for years but have lately discovered the yellow FINIS EDGE Fins ! I love them and I feel I don´t have to work at all! ;-). I have a natural up-kick and the yellow Finis Edge fins ar designed for upper kicks : they activate key muscle groups for a propulsive up-kick!

    Nice review ... I have the Finnis Zoomers, they work well for me ... comfortable .. they feel heavy and as a result give me a good aerobic freestyle workout

    One thing that I have wondered about for some time is why all the fins are made to resemble frog and/or duck feet, which are flat, while our feet are 3 dimensional. Since going pigeon toed and pronating the ankles gives a more efficient 'oar' surface for our feet, I would think you would want that shape on the fins. I have found that the standard fins do not promote this type of kicking at all. Perhaps that is the idea, to make it more difficult and you have to concentrate more to get that foot/toe stance.... The Alpha Fin is the only one that comes close, but no one here commented on it.

    I would like to try the Zoomers 2 but don't know what stores carry them yet. I don't like buying this type of merchandise online because I like to try them on before purchasing them for the fit.

    I bought the TYR Crossblade and made sure it was a size large (42-43 9-11) which which suppose to fit my foot that measures 9.5 I was quite disappointed. They were too tight on me. I've used another pair from another brand with the same aforementioned large size and they fit me fine. So why does TYR make them small? Does this mean that each brand has their own version as to what large is? And what does the 42-43 mean anyway?
    What upset me most is that I spent $15 for shipping. I'm not spending $15 to send them back and then another $15 to send me the right size. How is it possible that these fins are stamped 9 to 11 yet there is no way my foot fits let alone a size 11?
    I can only hope you could make another video explaining the numbers on fins and why manufactures are apparently making their own versions of a large fin. It's confusing and frustrating. .at this point, I don't even know which one to get out of fear it won't fit.

    I think the first question is why are you buying fins? What is the purpose? Only after that can you decide what type of fin is right for you.

      Hi Jhay, many pools allow you to use snorkeling but you will have to call and make sure.

    I couldn't hear the comments on the biofuse fins from the second person, what did she said?

    • @USMastersSwimming

      She said the fin did not feel like an extension of her foot and more like a board on the bottom of her foot.

    According to them, every pair is good. They probably get paid by the manufacturers to say so. Because I bought several pair of the fins recommended here. And many are NOT good.

    • @rza139
      @rza139 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Quick question. Which fins did you end up buying? I am so confused as to which fins to buy after watching this video. I had the Zoomers Gold, but were too heavy. Looking for light, medium blades fins. I am looking to improve my budy positioning

    Isn't it pretty much personal preference? I imagine all fins are made and designed well these days so, how can anyone tell you which one to buy? I see no problem with them finding them all acceptable but, some were clear about their personal preferences. It isn't a black and white world people. They've given you an overview; now choose for yourself.
