akula34: Both of our children are excellent swimmers, having completed Infant Swim Rescue (ISR) lessons in the past two years. They are excellent swimmers for their age and these flippers worked out very well.

Relatively inexpensive, soft & pliable, and one of the smallest non-strap flippers available on Amazon. We had originally ordered the 9-12 for our son (with the size 10 foot) and the larger 12-1 size for our daughter (size 12 foot, but narrow).

As molded pocket flippers, sizing can sometimes be difficult. In our case, the smaller flippers fit both children better & more snug.

The only item I would change is to put a pull tab on the back of the flipper, to allow the kids to put the flippers on more easily themselves.

Overall a great product for a great price. If debating between sizes, go for the smaller size. It's better not to have them fall off, rather than try to stretch them to use for two summers (or seasons).

Momo3iB: I bought these for my 7 year old who wears a 2 1/2/3 in Kids and they fit him well in the water. When he first got them in the mail and tried them on in our living room, he complained (an inordinate amount) about how tight they were but I told him to reserve judgement for the water and when he tried them in the pool, he was fine. We just returned from 2 1/2 weeks in Hawaii and he wore them nearly every day with no complaints and loved the extra speed and agility them gave him. I'm very pleased with the quality and comfort of these fins!
On another note, he's a latecomer to swim lessons (3rd kid what can I say) and the fins have made a huge difference in helping him to understand small flutter kicks. We purchased them for our trip to Hawaii but when he tried them at swim lessons, his instructor had him keep them on because they forced his legs into the proper form and helped him to continue doing that naturally without them on!

Cristina SC: I bought these for my 2nd grader to use in swim team. When they arrived, they had a very odd smell to them so I put them out in the garage and hoped that using them in a pool would eventually freshen them up.

My son has used them a few times since then, and he just loves them. In fact, he loves them so much that wants to buy a few extra pairs to keep on hand for his friends and cousins to use when they come visit. He says they're comfortable and help him swim really fast. I've noticed that he seems to zip through the water much faster so I guess he's right about that.

He wears a size 1 shoe, and the fit seems just fine. They don't fall off easily, and they don't seem to rub or hurt when he's wearing them. They also seem easy to put on/take off. So far anyway, he hasn't asked for my help donning the fins. The smell hasn't completely dissipated, but it's getting fainter and definitely more tolerable. They're staying in the garage regardless so it doesn't really matter anymore.

All in all, these are good sturdy fins at a great price. Most importantly, my son is thrilled with them and that's good enough for me.

Mermaid: When friends of ours had these swim fins at the pool and let my kids borrow them, my children begged for me to get them some swim fins too. I searched around looking for a good deal and purchased these and another pair from a different company. The U.S. Diver Sea Lion Jr Fin is by far the most superior fin. The other was is already cracking and has split in the heel area. These are very durable, and despite having a cupped heel (instead of a strap on the heel) growing feet can use these fins because of the space where the toe comes out.

These fins allow my children to speed through the water and they have so much fun racing their friends when wearing these. They're always a hit and other kids are always asking to borrow them. I'm so glad I decided to purchase these. I will be replacing the inferior fins with another pair of these. I only wish they had more color options available for this size.
