FINISZoomers Gold Swim Training Fins - Short Blade Design for Speed & Conditioning - Soft Natural Rubber Fit

I usually wear a men's 8.5 shoe, so I ordered the "E" size of these FINIS Zoomers Gold. The "E" is supposed to fit Men's 7.5-8.5. but they were too small for me. I could barely get them on my feet and the fin were way too tight when I did. I know fins are supposed to fit a tad snug so they won't fall off my feet in the pool, but they were just too tight for comfort.So, I had Amazon do an exchange for size "F" fins. It was VERY easy to fill out the online info and I had my new fins in 2 days with my Amazon Prime. Amazon also paid for the return shipping on the first pair that was too tight. The return process could not have been more simple.I got my new Finis Zoomers Gold in 2 days as promised. The Size F fins fit perfect. I recommend if you are at the top end of size range like I am, then order up a size. The E would probably be fine for a size 7.5 (maybe even 8), but was too small for 8.5.Anyway, I wore my new Zoomers to swim my laps today at the YMCA. I swim a mile (freestyle) three times a week. Up until now, I felt like most of my workout had been in my arms/shoulders. I wanted to feel more work in my legs that's why I bought fins. The Zoomers did exactly what I'd hoped for. I swam my mile in about 5+ minutes less than usual with the Zoomers, but I felt a lot more work in my legs. Because I finished a bit early, I added an additional 5 laps with a kickboard using the Zoomers to work my legs more and that helped too. I think I will see significant improvement in my leg strength by using these.I highly recommend these, but order up if you are on the top end of a size range.

These were size D and they were too small..I needed size E but those alphabet sizes were't shown. I owned a pair of size E for at least 15 years, they were great, I even took them to Hawaii because they fit nicely in my suitcase. . They finally wore out but considering the price I believe they were amazing and worth every penny. When size E is available I will order them!!!

Ive used these since January of 2024. I swim 2-3 times a week and these still look brand new. They really help with my kick. My only complaint is that they rub on the top of my big toe. to compensate i wrap a piece of leukotape around my big toe before i start swimming. BOOM problem solved!

My Zoomer fins are easy to use, but are a bit tight across my instep. They leave a red mark & indention across my foot. A bit uncomfortable. Otherwise, the fit is perfect!! They are fun to swim with! Great training tool. Materials are durable rubber. Minimal care required-just rinse and air dry.

I wanted to work on my kick and needed some fins to open up my ankles. I started with the TYR Burners, they were good but due to the hard rubber they ended up peeling the skin on one of my toes. I ended up sending them back. Next up was the Capas fins, they were a bit loose and notice they were too soft not providing a lot of resistance in the water. I ended sending those back. I tried these Finis fins and they fit me perfectly, no blisters on my toes and provided the right amount of resistance in the water. They seem to be well made, definitely a keeper. Just to note, Finis seems to have more sizing choices than the other manufacturers increasing the possibility of finding a great fit.

I was debating between the two when I wanted to buy a pair of fins. So I had a live chat w/ a customer service rep. She was really helpful. Below is a summary of what I learned:The Zoomers Gold helps the swimmer to keep a fast kick but move more water and hence work the legs. If you are going to do swimming to work your legs and have about 30 minutes to squeeze a workout in, then go for the Gold. Also the Gold tends to help newer swimmers feel the propulsion and be more aware of their legs. The Zoomers Gold are a little heavier.The Z2 is the more refined option for the same purpose. It's slightly longer (1/2") and more flexible with an added toe box on the underside of the fin to really catch more water on the upkick. If you are going to be doing any long swims time wise or distance wise, then the Z2 is a better option. Also, if you are comfortable swimming and want to add a muscle building and comfortable fin to the routine, the Z2 is the way to goBoth are short fins which help you to maintain a quick kick tempo and you will feel less different when you kick without the fins.As I am still a beginner, trying to improve my kicks, I bought the Gold, and loved them. Very comfortable and definitely, I am more aware of my kicks.Good luck!

I wear a Women’s 9 and these fit well. Overall good product but poor packaging. I don’t know if my pair was a used return or if the person that packed them had dirty hands. There was dirt and deep scuff marks on the top and insides of the fins. The bottoms of the fins were clean so it may just be the packager. The toe cutout holes have very jagged edges and appear to be cut by hand.

This type of fin is perfect for training. The material is very good. I expect that they will last a long time.
