    5.0 out of 5 stars great fins!, August 23, 2009

    These fins are exactly what I was looking for.

    They are one piece rubber--meaning that the heel is the same thickness/type of material as the blade. Lightweight. Not at all like the competition style training fins made by SPeedo or TYR. Those fins frequently have really thick/stiff blades and very soft foot pockets--tends to push into the arch of the foot while you're kicking. Gives me foot cramps, which is why I was looking for something else.

    The colors came as described, but the fin says "Titan" on it rather than Better Times.
    Since it does what it's supposed to do, I don't care, but others might, so I'm noting it here.

    For those that used (and loved) the old black Voit competitive swimming fins, you'll really like these. Nothing beats a Voit fin, but these are pretty darn close.

    The last pair I had like these (except it actually said "better times" on it) lasted 8 years. So, I think the money is worth it for this... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sizing runs small, December 1, 2009

    This review is from: Training Fins (Misc.)
    I wear an women's 8-8 1/2 shoe and the 7-9 size was kind of small for my foot. I gave them to my daughter who wears a 7 1/2 -8 and they fit her just fine. The 9-11 fin is quite a jump up in size and width. The quality of the fin itself is OK although not quite like the old voit which I have a pair of so easy to compare. These fins do float however which is a big plus.

    1.0 out of 5 stars CHECK MALAYSIAN SIZE BEFORE YOU BUY, February 4, 2010

    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Training Fins (Misc.)
    My son wears Men's size 8 1/2 shoes. Prior to placing the order, I called the vendor who suggested that I order Men's size 9 to 11
    which I did. NOTE: the fins are sized according to Malaysian shoe sizes. When I opened the package I received Malaysia size 44-45 which is Men's size 11 to 13. I immediately contacted the merchant who suggested that my son wear socks (of course, this didn't work). My middle-aged husband tried on the fins wearing a pair of socks and they were too large. Malaysia size 42-44 is Men's size 9 to 11. I contacted Amazon customer service department and the rep told me that the merchant should refund my entire purchase including shipping as they sent the wrong item. Next, I visited our local YMCA and looked at their swim fins. Sure enough, fins with Malaysia size 42 -44 showed 9-11 as the conversion on the fins. After I received my RMA (return merchandise authorization), the entire order was mailed via FEDEX back to the merchant on December 27, 2009... Read more
