Cressi Palau Fins - Adult and Child Adjustable Diving, Apnea and Snorkelling Flippers Fins

I had searched for ages for the perfect fins for shallow coral reefs that were also light and easy to transport in a rucksack without adding to overall weight. these have been perfect - they are small enough to carry easily and fit inside smaller rucksacks yet do provide substantially more propulsion than standard fins. Of course they are not as powerful - you will not dive as deep or as fast with these compared to regular fins but they are more than adequate and certainly better than bare feet alone, and they ache less with extended use because they are less powerful. We bought these specifically because we often go to very shallow coral reefs (depth of less than 1m at low tide!) and need something that will not touch the coral at all and usual fins are far too cumbersome. Additionally when there is strong current these provide enough power to safely escape without too much effort

Great for the suitcase, perfect size and weight. Ideal for holiday swimming. Ideal for sharing with the family as the size fits different feet. Great buy!

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.

I purchased these to replace my trusty Zip Fins which split, to use for pool training and I have not been disappointed. They are quite short, rigid fins which flex at the ankle where there is an adjustable strap. You can get quite a powerful kick because of this, although the foot pocket was quite narrow and not quite as soft as I was expecting. The manufacturers state that they are designed to be used with fin socks and I would suggest that you go a size larger if you intend to use them. All in all a good fin at a competitive price

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.

Delivered promptly. Initial impressions were good. L/XL fit my long thin size UK11 foot fine even with a 2mm Mares Equator boot, but my son with a more normal with UK10 foot found them uncomfortable after 15-20 minutes (without a boot). They are small and light and suitable for fitting in luggage. But as a snorkeling fin they are have a small blade area: 35 cm long (foot to tip) compared to my older fins at 50 cm long, 21 cm wide compared to 19 cm respectively. One immediately came off the first time I tried them on in sea water as I had not pulled the heel strap tight enough. With most fins this would not be a problem as they tend to be negatively, or slightly positively buoyant and float - these don't - it sank immediately - luckily the water was not too deep and I recovered it from the bottom. The heel straps tighten easily. When removing them the heel strap slides over your heel ok due the the stretchy rubber. However the clips are fiddly and it is a bit difficult the loosen the straps before putting them on again. The slot for your foot is reasonably soft rubber, whilst the rest of the fin is very rigid reminiscent of the first set of fins I had 25+ years ago. Functionality they work as a fin and assist with propulsion in the water - they are much better than just your foot, but not as good as other similarly priced fins I have owned. At £17 they are OK - but I would not recommend them as I am sure there are much better snorkeling fins around for a similar price - only go for these if nothing else will fit in your luggage and you can accept the negative features. STRAP THEM ON WELL IN DEEP WATER.

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.

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

素足にフィットしていい感じです．ベルトで締め付け具合が調節できるのでいいです．旅行用に小型のを買いました．

I wanted some shorter snorkel fins to pack easily in a standard suitcase, and these fit the bill on that count--but they run a bit small. While rated at size 10-13, my size 12 wide feet are a snug fit, with the adjustable straps extended to the max. I doubt that someone with a size 13 foot would be able to use these at all. As others have mentioned, you get limited propulsion from a shorter fin, limiting their usefulness to relatively calm waters--but adequate for most recreational snorkelling.

El tamaño de las aletas es muy pequeño, se ajustan bien, pero la hoja es muy corta.

Fungerar bra. Relativt små och lätta att packa. Sitter bra på foten.

Fins are only good for diving not swimming or training. You need to wear water shoes with them because it might bruise the back of ur foot like it did to me. Quality is good
