Product Description
The Trek Fins are great and very popular with the snorkelers and swimmers. They are compact and can easily pack in your luggage for air travel. (Will not fit wide feet, sorry!)

Great Product! June 24, 2010
TRK (MN)
Bought these fins for a trip to Hawaii. Space was definitely a factor so the "travel size" was appealing. These are well made fins and were very comfortable. While they might not give you the thrust of full size fins, they do a good job for their size. The product for the price is a great bargain. I would highly recommend them and would buy again.
 Good fins for travel. February 22, 2010

I really love these fins. I bought them because they are short, so I can easily put them in my backpack when traveling to and from the boat and beach into the water.
You get as much power as long fins because they're wider. I've used them while snorkeling in Bonaire, Hawaii, and Thailand.
The best part is you can walk in them! Either from the beach into the waves or after getting ready to dive on a boat. You just can't do that with regular long fins. This is a HUGE convenience.
The only reason I'm knocking a star off my rating is I had a busted buckle. I just did a McGyver and wrapped a hairband to keep the buckle on. Still works great and no problems since!
Seem like a good value December 18, 2009

I just received these and won't be using them for a few months. They are a great size for packing, and seem like good, solid quality. My only issue was that, as other reviews noted, the store sent them in their original box - they actually jammed both pair into one box and taped it up. Not to smart for Christmas time, since my husband found the box on the porch. Really wrecked the surprise. For $8 shipping I'd think they could have put them in another box to ship at the holidays.
I am pleased with the product, though.
Light and fun! November 26, 2008

Best of both worlds-Fast fins that act like a shoe... April 28, 2008

Ever try to walk around in swim fins, especially the long ones? It ain't easy. The Trek's made it a breeze for me though I probably looked like a duck because of their shape.
I tried the long and thin Proflex II's but they were so flimsy they curled with every kick of my legs creating drag which quickly tired me out. Walking in them was impossible.
The Trek's stiffness and short length propelled me through the water like I was flying using rapid stiff leg bent at the knee minikicks. They held their own advancing against the strong current of tuber's river rapids without a problem. Also used them as shoes to brace myself standing moving limestone boulders the size of 5 gallon water jugs out of the way of the rapids.
I couldn't believe how tough these fins were. The rubber/plastic material is thicker than the Proflex II's and they fit perfectly and comfortably. I walked on concrete without slipping and could brace myself from hitting huge underwater limestone boulders.
I would say the Trek's are the best design out of all of the US Diver line of swim fins, but I'm not a pro diver, so take that for what it's worth. Just started this month trying out this type of equipment for recreational use and I just love how these fins work.
