Questions about this item:

Caroline S I wear a women's size 6 so was going to order an xs in the Aeris fins. I want to upgrade to spring straps but was wondering if the small size will work for me? They do not come in an extra small.

MICHELLE C yes these will definitely fit you. i am also a size 6 shoe and had no problem with the small.

YEVGENIY C in my opinion, open hill fins are better worn over booties or diving shoes. We have Mares light boots to go with this pair and another Mares fins. Makes easy in/out of water as you remove fins only and can walk wearing boots. No danger of stepping on sharp rocks or coral shards. These fins are similar to Mares quattro and can be sized/paired with Mares boot per their chart. Hope this helps. Eugene

Caroline S I do already own a pair of boots I'm just trying to figure out if the small spring straps will be tight enough for me. I did the measuring and its going to be close. Thanks

Shopper What are the dimensions of the small/medium fin?

GORDIAN R I have an 11 sized foot. I bought the x-large to use with a dry suit and large dive booties. I like the fins and the large foot pocket, but I don't think this really answers your question.

ENRIQUE Z Don't really know for sure ... Only that they are lighter than most fins ... but not small fin ... However, they pack a lot of performance in a light fin ... Superdivemaster

Shopper women's size shoe 8 1/2 or 9 narrow = what size of fin? men's size shoe 10 1/2 wide = what size of fin? what boot do you recommend for both?

RYAN C My son has a size 11 and is happy with the XL. My wife wears a 7 1/2 and has the Regular size. Both wear full size 7 mm boots which take up more room than a light bootie or boot. Hope that helps but Leisure Pro will take care of you either way.

YEVGENIY C As far as these fins are build extremely close to Mares Avanti series (Quattro, X3, Super channel) - natural choice was Mares trilastic boots to complement fins. I am very happy with those Mares boots, and my wife agrees with this opinion in regards to her set of fins and boots. Boots are true to size, comfortable for a full day wear. About sizing - use Mares sizing chart for Avanti Quattro (thats what I did and it fits perfect). Mares boots are hard soles, so you can walk land and sea and sharp coral rocks without fear of injury. Boots should fit relatively snug but not too tight.

MARSHA K I wear a women's size 8 1/2 or 9 narrow too and my Makos are Men's small. they are very adjustable and I've worn several different boots with them. If you get these, buy the extra straps, because they do pop off and a universal strap will not fit it. I learned that the hard way. You'll be sitting on the boat while everyone is diving. These are also very stiff fins, not my favorites, but a good price and easy to transport on trips.

BRUCE W My wife has US 8-8 1/2 feet, narrow to average width, and wears X-Small Mako fin. I have US 11 feet and wear Regular Mako fin.

Shopper What are the dimensions of the Aeris Mako regular sized fins?

LeisurePro S A regular size fin meaures approx. 25 inches.

Shopper I wear a size 8 men's-- what size fin do I need?

LeisurePro S I would recommend the small/medium.

Shopper do fins come in different weight, my scuba pro seems so heavy.

LeisurePro S Yes, most fins weight different and ScubaPro's are known to be hefty (because they are so powerful and durable). These fins are extremely light weight, around 2.5-3 pounds.

Shopper fin size chart is confusing. There is no Large size. I wear size 11 and have the shoe sole booty. xl/ xxl seems like its too big

LeisurePro S Yes, you're right in saying the XL would be too big. I would recommend the "regular" size.

I have owned these fins for well over a year now and have used them in the pool with students, at the lake, in the river, in the Cenotes and Cozumel. I love these fins. They have performed well for me and I get plenty of power. I've used them to fight the currents in the river and to swim upcurrent on various sites of Palancar reef. I'm about 215 lbs and they move me easily through the water. I get good response with a flutter kick or a frog kick. I would definitely buy these fins again if I needed a new pair.

I would recommend this product for someone that was going to dive in low current conditions. I have taken these fins on about 7 dives so far and they are a comfortable fit. In current conditions, these fins are decent at best, In the few conditions where current was a problem these fins felt like they lacked power to escape the current, but in calm conditions they provide a calm cruise.

don't buy this one

By neptune75

Comments about Aeris Mako Fins:
I bought these because they got good reviews. I am not sure if there was a bad lot in manufacturing, however I have experienced the same problem as several other reviewers. They did not even last through the first day of my training dives. They completely fold over in the water, they are bent at the foot joint and stay that way. my dive instructor had to loan me a pair of fins because these were useless.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Aeris Mako Fins:
This is the second pair I've owned, both pairs broke at the fin/boot junction. Leisure Pro made me send the first pair back to the manufacture. The second pair was sent to me quickly but after two dives on the same day they had failed as well. I'm a careful diver who takes care of my gear and doesn't expect it to perform beyond it's limits. But this is simply a poorly made product. Don't buy it!

Comments about Aeris Mako Fins:
Not sure if I got a factory defective set or they are just not that good, but I broke the actual fin just after the foot pocket on one of the fins. This was the first day I had tried them out. My wife has the same ones and isn't having any problems after at least 6-8 dives on them.

Comments about Aeris Mako Fins:
Great lightweight fins for travel. I dove these for a month in the South Seas recently. There were versatile; they frog, flutter and thrust kick well and they are very maneuverable.

Diving muck, I had to remember to frog kick because a straigt light kick with the Makos stirred up the silt 6 or more feet behind me, to the chagrin of my dive mates who were diving knobby short fins.

My only complaint was that the male part of the strap attachment cracked early on. I suspect somebody stepped on the fins on the floor of the boat. Electrical tape took care of this. But I have Liberators with the same type of attachements (they are interchangable, in fact) and they never cracked. Not a big deal, but remember to travel with a spare.

These are a little lighter and kick better than the Liberators, and they stay on my feet--I always had problems kicking my Liberators off in the water, maybe because the Liberators are very stiff. Makos are neither stiff nor floppy, but a happy compromise. They do require a bit of experimentation for optimum performance.

The foot pocket is a little wide at the toe, which may cause discomfort if your toes slide in the boot during a kick. I thought this might be a problem, but I kept the fin straps tight and didn't end up with blisters like some my dive mates did after 50 or 60 dives.

Giving them a 4, due to the broken strap socket.

The Mako Fin is a precision blend of ergonomics, hydrodynamics and materials technology created for ultimate comfort, efficiency and performance. The Mako blade's flexible center area creates a massive water channel by utilizing the entire surface area of the blade and foot pocket accelerating water over the blade. The engineered channels and side rails direct water flow off the tips of the fin without allowing water to "spill" from the sides of the blade for uncompromising power and improved efficiency. close out accelerating A generous...more
