Cressi Palau Saf Fins - Adjustable Short Fins Adults for Snorkelling and Swimming, Black/Yellow Short Fins, S/M (38/41)

Perfect for snorkelling and exploring little bays.Comfy and strong. Not the best for big currents or scuba as they’re pretty stiff and stubby.You don’t need neoprene socks for these but maybe boots might work.

Other reviews commented about fit and straps failing. Ignore them!I have dive experience and fat feet. When your feet are dry fitting into a rubber boot they may be tricky but you aren’t go for a walk in them.Put them on in the water and they are great. Even my fat feet fitted comfortably. Don’t need to pull straps really tight. Swim slow and relaxed and enjoy the snorkelling. They are great quality.

Great fins, fit in a carryon suitcase and propel you really really well for snorkelling and sea swimming. Obviously be safe.Only complaint is they come loose occasionally and I had to retighten.Shoe size UK 6 fits the s/m well.

Great lasted a couple years

Bought for my 12 year old son who loves snorkelling and scuba diving. Took them on holiday as lightweight and small enough to fit in suitcase. Great value for money and he says they are really comfortable.

I am no experienced diver, just like to do some snorkelling in summer. My last pair of fins (Cressi Rondine?) lasted almost 10 years, the plastic was broken in the foot zone, flexed to much and turned a bit uncomfortable to use. Bought this pair based on the good experience with the older pair of Cressi fins.This pair is better build, much better to put on (without sock/boots) and seems to give a good propulsion.Last week I was in Algarve and used it several times, experience was positive. However, in the first day, once I dived deeper and when I to came to surface I made more effort and one of the straps gone of the backside of the foot, I managed to put it again without loosing the fin. After that I adjusted the straps and it never occurred again. Now I am always checking the straps...Update, JUN2013: Needed a new mask and bought a set from Mares - Mares Volo One Marea Set Unisex Mask, Snorkel Fin. The Mares fins are superior, better fitting, more comfortable/wider fit, more secure and the straps and buckles design is more "profi" - they don't get out of the foot during swimming. The Cressi feel that give better propulsion then the Mares, however, comparing both (done it today in Algarve) the sensation is that the Cressi fin is getting out off your foot is frequent/permanent. Sorry, took another star from the previous evaluation.

I like to travel light (hand luggage) and like to snorkel so I was looking for fins that could cope. These are perfect. They fit in my small rucksack along with my snorkel and mask and are perfect to swim with. A word of caution. They have adjustable straps and a heel strap so you can adjust them and make them nice and tight. Make sure you do them up nice and tight! First time I used them I didn't and one fell off, straight to the bottom as they don't float. I managed to swim down and recover, but don't make the same mistake! But, the side straps and heel straps make them nice and easy to remove.

Bought for snorkelling holiday in Mauritius but ankle strap snapped at clip (factory setting, not adjusted) after carrying to boat and before I could use them. Glitches in Cressi customer service web form meant no joy on how to get a replacement ☹️
