Designed to be used for scuba as well as snorkeling, the Pro Star is the perfectchoice for the recreational diver. This is a futuristic fin, deriving from the Cressi deep sea skin-diving models, which introduces the use of more reactive materials. The blade is made of exceptionally light and reactive polypropylene.
The blade material is combined with a comfortable thermo-rubber (elastomer) for the foot pocket, side stringers and for various inserts. The blade originates from the upper part of the foot pocket, with a 20% increase in useful surface area compared to a traditional fin of the same length. The side stringers extendalong the blade, continuing in a protective seal around the whole blade edge. Two stabilizing flaps on the end of the blade and on the sole of the foot, guarantee excellent stability of the fin during kicking.
The excellent, highly anatomic, computer-designed foot pocket, guarantees optimum transmission of leg-fin thrust. The resulting combination of materials is a formidable product that makes kicking easier and powerful at the same time.Pro Star model is one of the most powerful full-foot fins in the Cressi range, except for models specifically designed for deep-sea skin diving and is an excellent choice for snorkeling, skin-diving and Scuba divers.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Pro Star Full Foot Fins:
These are good warm water fins if you like a high-resistance fin blade and prefer a slow kick or frog kick. These are good for warm water scuba or snorkeling. The big blade is not great for surface swimming, but is very good under water. The foot box is okay, but the toe area is awkward due to indents in the plastic molding. It hurts the toes on one of my feet but not the other. I like the overall shape and flex of the blade enough that I will modify or live with the toe area on one fin.
This is a good choice for a diver who likes frogfoot or large IDI fins for cold water. Probably not a good choice for a split-fin diver.

Foot pockets get hard after a couple of years use. Used fins for ten days straight with out problems. Had a pair crack,two years ago, LP took care and replaced them. My daughter likes them, so I had to buy her two pairs.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Pro Star Full Foot Fins:
I bought these fins to replace my split fins. I play underwater hockey, and one of my teammates uses these fins. My coach also recommended them as an "upgrade." I've found that I have better acceleration and a higher "top speed" with these fins. I'm also able to maneuver fairly well.
The only problem is that they are slightly narrow and I have slightly wide feet, so my feet got a bit banged-up the first few times I used 'em. I wear socks with them now to help prevent my feet from being too destroyed after practice (which is 90+/- mins).

Comments about Cressi Cressi Pro Star Full Foot Fins:
I dive cold water and use Scubapro fins. I use twin jets for surge and current, and Scubapro Kinetix (not split) for long surface kicks through the kelp beds to avoid getting caught up in it.
I bought the Cressi Pro Star fins for overseas scuba travel to minimize weight. In pristine conditions like Grand Cayman I had no issue.
In Papua New Guinea we had strong currents and I felt I was standing still. I am a powerful swimmer, and an advanced cold water diver, but I felt I was in quicksand with these fins, even though I was kicking forcefully to power through the current.
Also, one fin nearly folded in half upon hitting the water when I did my giant step off the boat. It then flung right off my foot and I had to make a mad dash as to not lose the fin! These fins are too flimsy for serious diving.

I'm trying these fins for underwater hockey and so far they're pretty nice. They have a mid-sized blade and moderately stiff. I'm getting a medium amount of power and great manueverability.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Pro Star Full Foot Fins:
These are very good fins, with excellent power for fighting currents. Very comfortable even without socks, I've used them for hours at a time and never got one blister. Size 7-8 fits my 7.5 feet with about enough room for 2-mil neoprene socks if I wanted to use them, but is very comfortable without any socks as well.
I'm very happy with these fins and would definitely buy them again.
