Tony: Fins are great. Perfect for underwater metal detecting around the shoreline. Very comfortable and sizing accurate

Thomas P. Grady: I love these fins. They are so comfortable. They are rigid enough yet flexible enough to propel you through the water and the design is super comfortable. The fact that you can put them on and actually WALK is FANTASTIC! No more duck walking or being knocked over by waves trying to put them on. Then standing on the bottom it gives you more protection and flexibility!

Mary Lou: These are short and convenient for carry-on travelling which I do a lot. The slip-on shoe part is easy and comfortable BUT the hard fin is really not ideal for snorkelling or travelling. The fin really should be more flexible. If this was more flexible it would be easier to snorkel AND easier to fit into a carry-on bag or suitcase. Awkward shape and being so hard makes it super difficult to bring and use. The product should be upgraded to a flexible fin material

Samm: My family and I are avid snorkelers. We snorkel in some pretty tough to get to places - this means to get there you have to walk over rocks, shells, sharp lava, rough reefs, etc. These are a Godsend. Put them on and walk to the water...they work, you don't trip. No more struggling putting fins on once you get in the water - these are already on your feet and you walked just fine across all kinds of sharp debris - unscathed, before getting in. They are very comfortable. Now, they are a bit too buoyant so you can't propel yourself as fast as regular fins - the solution to this is the frog kick and you move along just fine. If you need to swim fast for some reason turn over on your back and kick and you will move as fast as regular fins. Old style fins had become such a hassle for me when snorkeling that I completely stopped using them and instead wore reef shoes. I'd just use my arms more. But now that I have these, I'm back to using fins and really enjoying it. Finally, the velcro closure at the top of the ankle is pretty weak and comes loose pretty easily. When that happens, the fins take in water and the drag slows you a bit, so you just have to re-close the velcro. That's a bit...

Richard Newman: These flippers (Though a little expensive) are well made and fun to use. I wear a size 10.5 (USA size) and found that the size 10 flipper is the way to go for a good fit.

Tanya Geisel: I love to snorkel, however I have feet where my big toe nails are deformed ( don’t laugh!) when I put regular flippers on the pressure over the toenail causes excruciating pain. This reefshoe/ flipper completely allows me to snorkel in comfort. I also suffer from calf muscle cramps when using regular/ long fins, these allow me to snorkel with no cramps. I played around with leg strokes and the frog stroke works best for me! They are of good sturdy material, quite easy to walk around in and give you a reasonable push through the water.very pleased and have bought my husband a pair as well.

Markjnk: I am an avid snorkeler, and in the past I have used traditional swim fins. The resort that I frequent has excellent snorkelling but has a rough coral shoreline to traverse before entering the water which can be quite wavy. Walking barefoot into the water across the coral was painful and donning the swim fins in the wavy water was challenging. These Topside fins looked like the perfect solution! I could put them on and walk across the coral into the ocean and swim away. That part is true! They feel great on the feet, and offered excellent traction and walk-ability across the coral rocks, but once in the water, they absolutely fail for swimming. You can not scissor kick with any forward motion as the fins don't flex! After about 4 swims, i developed a sort of frog kick to get some forward motion, but still, dismal compared to traditional fins. If you have ever used traditional fins, steer clear of these. If not and you are not an avid swimmer or snorkeler, they might work for you, but I doubt it.

disneyspam: I love snorkeling and have been snorkeling for years. I usually travel to the Caribbean each year, on vacation, to go snorkeling. During my last vacation, my wife and I ran into some fellow snorkelers who happened to be wearing these snorkeling masks, the likes of, we've never seen before. Apparently, the masks were known as 360-degree masks made by this company called "Wildhorn Outfitters." When I arrived back home from vacation, I immediately looked-up this company on the web with great interest in their products, and I signed-up to be on their mailing list.

More recently, I received a email from Wildhorn Outfitters notifying me of these newly-invented "Wildhorn Topside Hydro Snorkel Fins" that were about to hit the market and watched a video on the Wildhorn Outfitters website about these new fins about to become available for purchase. I was intrigued and excited as soon as I learned of these fins and as soon as they became available for purchase, I didn't hesitate, and purchased a pair for me and a pair for my wife as soon as they hit the Amazon.com website.

Well, as soon as they arrived, my wife and I tried them on and were blown-away with these fins. Folks, let...
