Can these fins be used for snorkeling?

To be honest, I don't really know. I just used mine for swimming at the gym pool for lessons. For that, they worked well for me. Sorry.

I would imagine they could be but they are 3-4 inches shorter than regular fins.

Maybe. Although I'm not an avid snorkeler, my experience with snorkeling is that you need enough power to maneuver and speed to go deep quickly (we're holding our breath!). I use my Burners for lap swimming and they still move enough water to strengthen my kick. And they would consume less space than typical snorkel fins.

Waterfi fuelbands definitely are. For the regular ones I suppose that Nike can answer this. I heard that you can wear them while swimming but not use them for diving.

No- it's far too narrow for fins. I use mine for keys, phone, wallet, etc.- I don't think that zippered pouch is water proof, maybe just, water "resistant"

These flippers are nice. We use them for basic diving and snorkelling, and they are great. I cannot compare with the short fins, but I imagine packing short fins is easier than long ones.

possibly, I have worn in a pool for lap swim only, but they certainly increase your speed as opposed to no fins at all,

I would say yes, but they do have filters you can get that you can put totally under the water. Only about a quarter of an inch is above water so I don't see why not. I don't think it will hurt to try.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

Although I put them on when I was already in the water, I don't think they are waterproof in the sense you inquire about. (They're now in storage, so I can't try them out for you -- sorry.)

I'm not a windsurfer. I think these would work. They fit like a snug sock and the sole is thinner than a regular shoe, with grippy texture. You still feel what you are walking on, kind of like a moccasin

They wouldn't be any good for swimming. They are vented so water would get in.

I don't know if they will fit the paddleboard, but the depth of the fins would probably be insufficient to provide adequate control of the paddleboard.

we took our sets to Cancun last year. They took up a lot of space in the suitcase, but we went snorkling every day & were very glad we had our own equipment to go whenever we want. The fins for xl mens are about 24 inches

To be honest, I only know they will protect your feet from the rough surface. That is why I bought them. However, I use them with open heel fins. I don't try to swim with them alone.

100% Yes..short fins, like the yellow zoomers, are the appropriate fins for beginners to elite to use for technique drilling. I am a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, a USA Triathlon Junior Youth Certified Coach and a Total Immersion Level 2 Swim Instructor....my students use these fins for our drill sets and our kicking sets.

I personally would not. There is not back to adjust the tightness of the fins. For comfort reasons i wouldn't. I think they make socks which are like boots in material just, a sock in a sense.

I'm not sure, I only used it for snorkeling and it had a very good fit and seal.

I do not know those fins. Mine are very tight. These are BIG sox! I love them but they take up a lot of room. Need bigger fins now.
