Mares

I’m a women’s size 8.5 so I ordered the men’s size 6.5-7.5 which is 40-41 euro and they were really big. I sent them back and ordered a size down, hoping they fit! They look great and seem perfect for travel. Will update once I receive the smaller size.*Update* Received the smaller size and they fit perfectly. I got the men’s 5-6 which is a euro 38-39. I wish they listed the euro sizes as well because I would’ve ordered this size in the first place. I usually wear a euro 39. Again, I’m a women’s size 8.5 but I have skinny, narrow feet.*Update* I used these while diving in Belize and love them. Great fins!

I ordered a 3.5-4.5 in black and white. They fit perfectly like gloves. I’m usually a 5.5 to a 7 in women’s shoes & I have wide feet. I plan to wear these to snorkel in. I like fins tight like second skin but not squeezing. Tried on rental Mares fins and they were so comfortable that I decided to get my own for snorkel trips.

I was looking at fins with the strap and these were in with those so I ordered them to have a different color than my friend. These are NOT the same thing. These fins are full foot and will not fit with my booties. I wasted my money and it was too close to our trip to send them back so now I'm stuck with fins I can't use. The quality is great if that's what you need but read the description. Mad at myself for this one because I was in a hurry.

I am not a regular scuba diver and I rarely use fins. However, I was going diving long enough to justify a purchase as I live close to the ocean and it ended up costing me less money to buy my own gear rather than rent from the dive shops. These fins closely resembled the dive shops rentals and performed great.Based on reviews, I think these are solid all around fins. The brand is a well respected brand name in the diving community. The closed foot seems to be a regular option in the lower end or more reasonable fins. I look forward to wearing these this summer and just messing around at the beach with them.The one thing I would mention is that sizing is really stupid with fins. I regularly wear a 9 or 9.5 in US mens shoe sizes. I wear New Balances and sport a 9. I purchased the 6.7/7.5 fin and they fit great. If I dove with booties, I might have gotten a size bigger, but if you are going el natural, then that is what I got and it fits excellent. If you are a 9.5 though I'd go a size larger and get some neoprene booties.They definitely get my stamp of approval and I would recommend you quit reading reviews and make the purchase. They are offered at a reasonable price, are good fins, and a well-respected brand with prompt shipping via Amazon PRIME.

I think my feet are just too wide, but the fin will be amazing for others
