We are going to Maui. Some reviewers claim fins are too small for ocean. Has anyone tried these fins in Maui?

I didn't try them in Maui, but Kauai. Size doesn't really matter because after about an hour of use, they'll be broken. And you shouldn't expect to get your money back. I bought two sets and both sets were garbage within the first few hours. Big waste of money.

I used this snorkel set in Kona on the big island and had no trouble with them. We also went out on the Body Glove tour boat, and they worked well for that. I think that people have too high expectations for this set. It's not a set you'd use with tanks. I had no trouble in twenty-five feet of water, on a nice day, and was able to dive down about Fifteen feet. I think I could have gone deeper if I could have held my breath longer. They are a little big for kids. My daughter had trouble with her mask leaking.

I believe you are talking child size 12. With that in mind I would suggest ex small or small. It is ok to wear a little big they move smoothly threw the water even when big. I am a swimmer not a sales person I could be wrong. Check with sport stores and see if they carry fins that she could try on. good luck. They do help adults and children.

They seem to be. I sweat some and they still work. I think they work better on ankle when wearing shorts. Have not worn in the ocean yet. Hope this helps. I can recommend the (After Bite Stick) after a bite. Can get at Wal-Mart for $3.00.

not in less you find an XrXrXr large pair !! O , or an Xr large and you have skinny feet.. Shop around and if you find a pair that fit, then check them out on 'amazon' .. The ankle strap is the only reason i have not lost these fins !! and well worth any Extra moola !! Lost 2 pair in past years body surfing until purchasing these.. Good Luck J.

I didn't have anything break. The whole system does not feel right. I returned my fins right away, stick with DUCK FEET. You will never go wrong with Duck Feet, that is if you are a Body Surfer.

I bought these for my husband and he's a size 12 wide and they fit him fine and he loved both the fins, snorkel and mask. He has a big head, too. I would not be too concerned about the extra length, they are open backed and adjustable, so I think they will work fine for you.

Trig: Hi. I also scuba dive and when I do I use my full size fins. I just used these Travel fins again last week on vacation and they worked great for snorkeling. My opinion would be to use full size fins for scuba diving.

Yes. You really need to play around with all the configurations. For me, just slightly rotating the fins a certain way makes a huge difference in comfort.

I bought them for kayaking.They run small though, I bought an XL and they fit like they are 1 size smaller.

Hi, my wife wears a size 6.5 shoes (US sizing). The fins have an adjustable strap around the heel with solid catches holding it, and there is plenty of room to go a couple of sizes up or down. I can't remember for sure, but I think US Divers website also had some sort of sizing chart that we checked before buying these. We used them in Hawaii (they pack pretty flat), and loved them.

I have only used mine with bear feet. I take a size USA 10.5 shoe and the flippers fit well on my bear feet. I think if I had a bulky water shoe as well they would definitely not fit me. Maybe if you get a big size or have small feet you could get a wetsuit booty in them.

I have purchased a pair of TYR Sport Burner fins for each of my grand children and they all love them. I got a size XSmall for the 7 now 8 year old. They were a little big but he is still wearing them. I think they really like the shorter fin as they aren't so awkward in them.

As a newer Go Pro user, i cant give my opinion from experience, but i did use the drying inserts, while snorkeling and in humid Jamaica and everything worked out great. I did use the filters some, but didn't notice a huge difference, didn't have any issue getting them to fit. I opted on the side of better to have it then not have it. Haven't used them since.

I don't think you would have a problem, but I have read some other reviews and numerous people have complained about the suction leaving marks on their face. I had to send my set back because my husband thought the fins would make my ankle injury worse because they are short. Others have really liked the shape. Please look at other reviews.

I've used them with full fins and open fins with no problem, but would rather use diving boots for open fins. They get a bit loose after a few uses, but still work well as socks for full fins. If you use them without fins they're not that great because they flood easily.

I think so. I wear size 5 medium and there was still room. Not a huge amount but i think a 5 wide would find them comfortable. I really liked these a lot more than my old longer fins.
