Comments about Aeris Aeris Velocity Full Foot Fins:

I've spearfished in lakes with my old Velocities for 5-6 years. They are still good despite having to patch a couple of heel splits with Shoe-Goo last year. They are quick and effortless allowing long swims without any leg fatigue. Provide best surface swimming of any fins tried. Split fins, jets, stiff blades, hinged blades - all require much more effort and quickly tire my legs or hurt my ankles. Since they have no buckles, they never drag seaweed or other debris; but the holes in the blades sometimes get caught on small fixed objects.

Comments about Aeris Aeris Velocity Full Foot Fins:

Bought these for trip to BVIs as a complement to my SCUBA fins. Used them off a boat and shore just to snorkel. Very comfortable and moved nicely through the water. Were a little limp for my taste but I never got a cramp or got tired. I'd buy again and recommend.

Comments about Aeris Aeris Velocity Full Foot Fins:

This is a good fin for snorkeling; I used it for three weeks out in Maui this year. It probably does not have enough "oomph" (propulsion)to be suitable as a SCUBA fin, especially if you need to swim against any currents.

Comments about Aeris Aeris Velocity Full Foot Fins:

I have a pair, my daughter has a pair, and I have purchased this pair for my wife.
These are excellent warm water reef diving fins.
They are so responsive that I can feel a significant difference between these and 2 other pairs I own. I feel like a fish with these on.

Comments about Aeris Aeris Velocity Full Foot Fins:

I'm a size 9 in mens shoes and the 9/10 size fits perfect when I wear either 2mm or 3mm sock like booties; without the booties they still fit well but with a bit of slop. I bought these from a LDS as replacements when I lost one of my SP Twinjets to the ocean. I was so happy with them I bought a second pair as my backup/loaner set. I snorkel about 5 times a week and commonly swim 1-2 miles in a session and I have no complaints about these fins; which I can not say about every other fin I've tried.

I have not used these for scuba, but I don't think they would be good for it. They do work okay for light free diving (been down to about 40fsw with them).

Comments about Aeris Aeris Velocity Full Foot Fins:

Got these for warm water Scuba to lighten the gear I bring on Caribbean trips and leave the boots at home. I found that they did not provide the propulsion needed to conserve energy. My legs felt fatigued toward the end of a 45-50 minute dive.

Comments about Aeris Aeris Velocity Full Foot Fins:

LOVE THE FINS, VERY COMFORTABLE, FAST, AND LIGHTWEIGHT, REQUIRES MINIMAL EFFORT. I AM NO EXPERT BY NO MEANS BUT I FEAL LIKE A HEAVIER PERSON OR HEAVY GEAR WOULD REQUIRE A STIFFER FIN. AND MAYBE NOT. LIKE I SAID, I AM NOT A PRO. FINS DO FLEX A LOT WITHOUT ANY GEAR. USER WEIGHS 185 LBS.

Comments about Aeris Aeris Velocity Full Foot Fins:

These are very nice fins--they do provide a bit of speed and you could kick around in them all day long. But if you have strong legs and a stong kick, they are too flexible. I wish I would have bought a stiffer type. These are fine for recreational use, but why not go with something a bit more challenging?Maybe I am too picky?They move me where I want to go, and with speed if I want it. They are good for snorkling, and excellent for body surfing. Side kick is very good. My dolphin kick with these fins is excellent--I can get some speed out of them, but I suspect this also has to do with the fact that I am slim and have a storng kick. I feel I might get better results with stiffer fins.The angle of the fin to the foot is striking, and at first I was skeptical, but this didn't seem to be a factor when I had them in the water. According to someone I talked too, this angle is supposed to help people who don't point their toes straight enough. Not an issue for me.I checked on-line and these fins have received good reviews. They have received at least one "best buy" award. These reviews are why I bought them (and the fact I got them at a very good price).If you can get a good deal--buy them. Otherwise, I am not so sure. I have heard some reports that earlier production runs of these fins had some difficuties with the foot tearing. I also heard--from the manufacturer, actually--that the problem had been corrected.[*]

I wear a women's size 8 shoe and found the fin size 7-8 (MD) too large and had to reorder the next smaller size.
