I did not want to work out in the pool but fins for snorkeling. Almost nowhere I found clever statements about the behavior of short-finned "normal" Flippers (I have otherwise only fins and booties). I always travel with backpack and have therefore little space. So my attempt with this Aqua Sphere Micro Fin launched four weeks before (October 2014) on the northeast coast of Bali. Pros: Even on the beach you can walk with that thing without which looks completely crazy there, too, I had not run backwards into the water. Whether with or against the current in the bays, these fins were a great help. I have size 43 and two fins fit like a glove, no blisters or bruises. Processing Top, no thick seam / welds. Cons: black rubber is really hot when you idiot can be the middle of the beach, the fins in the sun ....
Conclusion: I am totally happy with the Aqua Sphere Micro fins and also with the purchase of Futurmshop.
