Let me start by saying I have very finicky feet. It's difficult for me to be comfortable in just about anything that goes on my feet, but the rubber boot on these flippers has just the right amount of stretch to be tight enough for good power transmission but flexible enough to conform to your foot. I agree with others, definitely get one size smaller than your "street shoes". Besides the boot, I loved the fin design. Activating them slowly uses very little energy for a longer breath hold, but when you need a burst of speed, they respond very well to more power.My wife and I used these on a trip to the Caribbean where we snorkeled about 2hrs per day. On our previous trip we both used the adjustable style flippers (US Diver) and they were fine, but it was only after using these that we could immediately see the benefit. In the adjustable, there is always a little bit of "play" in the toe box area, so you lose a bit of efficiency, not to mention extra rubbing and friction points, and the need to constantly readjust. With these Cressi's there is no movement of your foot relative to the boot, so no friction points, and great efficiency - at least for me (and my wife). make sure you buy from a buyer who allows returns in case you need to get a different size. Try them on wet and remember that salt water will make them feel even a tiny bit more loose than fresh (is this for real, or was it just my perception?). In any case, tighter is better, the rubber stretches.

I ordered this item in April 2018 for a planned trip in June. It arrived quickly and other than a quick "test" for fit, didn't have a chance to use them until early June. They performed great for the snorkelling excursions I engaged in. Much has been asked about the fit and sizing. My foot is 8.5 to 9 (Canadian-US). Based on various reviews, I ordered the 7/8 - European 41/42 size and they fit well (snug but not tight). Oddly, I found the price when ordering by the North American size was more than double ordering by the European size. I ordered the European size! I did a lot of snorkelling with these fins and was definitely not disappointed with their performance. By the way, I would not have purchased them at the higher price ($125.00 Canadian) indicated for the North American sizing - simply not worth that!

Comodissime per viaggi in aereo, leggere, poco ingombranti e efficaci. Pregio migliore, usando la dovuta attenzione, (sempre mi raccomando!), si danneggiano il meno possibile i coralli grazie alle ridotte dimensioni e all’ottima risposta nei cambiamenti di direzione. Utilizzo esclusivo perr snorkeling, No apnea di profondità,
