Looking for input on these fins by someone who puts in significant mileage each week (30-40K or more). Are they really going to hold up?

Can't really answer on the significant mileage. They seem to be well made and I don't see any reason they wouldn't hold up well. I chose them because they are modest in size and don't overstress my ancient legs.

I own these fins -purchased a few years ago. They have held up beautifully for swimming in the ocean about one to two miles almost every day. Their weakest point is the strap. Be sure you always wet the fins and put them on wet feet. Then the strap is no trouble. I even use these as my dive fins now, really love them. So comfortable. These are the only fins I use now - and I have many different types from before I found these. They would not be good for deep free diving, however,

Yes, there is a tight fit on these fins! They will be fine I bought 3 of them! Love them!

Yes. Very well. They have a plastic pebbled bottom , for grip. They are VERY comfortable. However, they take up more room in the fin than thinner socks. I love them but the fit on my fins is much tighter. I really need bigger fins by 1/2 size now to accommodate these thicker socks. I am toying with the idea of getting bigger fins. These socks are great, regardless, and are holding up well.

I would get them large, The Fins are adjustable and very comfortable, I swim miles in them, however if you don't make sure the foot is seated in the boot, it would be constricting but you would know by feel. With the larger size performing well at depth would be a cinch. Without any more effort than had you got the smaller pair. Adding some versatility to the whole prospect! Get Wet Soon!

It's a product improvement. The original design overheated and was notorious for failing. I bought an OEM replacement and it also had the bigger fins.

They are pretty close in quality, the hardest part was actually finding the name brand ones that were correct. I decided to go with off brand just to try and so far they are holding up pretty good. Hope that helps

No idea... Sorry. I choose these ones and I am still super happy with them, I got them over a yr now and I still use them at least twice a week with my fins. Quality is awesome and they look like new. But I rinse 'm off in the sink with fresh water after every use....

They seem to hold up pretty well with heavy, daily abuse. I would give them 2 years tops, but hey it's way cheaper that what the doctor wanted to prescribe. Once you get the first pair, they will send you a promotion to buy more at a discounted rate....If they seem to work for you(give it a week to break it and notice the difference) get more so you minimize the wear on one. It also depends on you body weight, extent or extremity of use and type/purpose of footwear.

I just bought my second set. Got 50,000 miles on the first set, and they still have tread, the UV was starting to break down the sidewalls enough that they were leaking air.

Don't cheap out on fins if you are going on a trip to the Galapagos... my first recommendation would be to think about renting when you get there. If you want to save some money and drag your own all the way, then by all means, try them out in a pool at home first. I brought some US Divers Admiral 2 LX fins to Kauai, HI, and was not happy - I wear size 13 shoes and got the large fins, which were tight and the heel strap buckle slipped apart several times. The fins were a good size for travel, but if you are worried about losing them, you won't enjoy the scenery as much... it also depends upon how rough the water is. Have a wonderful time.

I used them 2-3 days per week for lap swimming until they stopped working this week. I echo Craig's answer about making weird turns. Sometimes I also flood my ears when I exhale hard and the air bubbles put just enough odd pressure on one of the buds. I still like having them even with their quirks, until of course they died. they never went two meters deep, so I will try sending them in for warranty repair, but I'm not hopeful.

Hi! Yes they are great! Mine stayed on through 80 mile per hr. speeds! Heavy rain and ice as well... Definitely recommend!

I'm also a 13.5 and because of the adjustable strap, they fit fine. I will say, however, that the strap requires constant retying due to the larger foot size. Also, I've moved to tradition fins because the Positive Drives tend to hurt my knees.

I would recommend them but u have to take into consideration that there NOT THE BEST!! out of 10/- (7.1/2) if its under 30ft there great @65 hard to determine but possible to see I think u should ask for different options n specification for what u really looking 4. With that been said good Luck finding what u want . remember that just my opinion.

They are looking pretty good after 6 months. I did have a flat from a thorn, so I installed a liner inside the tire. All in all. I'm satisfied. I also have a 29er.

I have these tires on a f250 superduty and have about 4000 miles on them. I think for the money they are a great tire so far. I've had them in mud working around the farm and they clean out good and reduce the need for 4 wheel drive over the more expensive tires I ran before. Haven't had any balancing issues so far. Time and miles will tell, but I'm sure I will purchase these again
