All of Cressi's fifty-year experience has gone into these fins, which are a modern revival of the successful principles of the rubber Rondine fins. As with other Cressi Fins, the blade is positioned on top of the foot pocket for perfectblade alignment with your leg. The Rodinella utilizes a unique short blade made of a very durable and lightweight, yet resilient polypropylene material that optimizes performance and blade stability.
During molding a soft, flexible thermo-rubber (elastomer), foot pocket is coalesced with the blade to form as one with the blade. This same thermo-plasticis used for the fin frames and for some inserts. This material extends from the foot pocket through the blade, along the sides and fin tips. This mix makes the Rondinella fins light and powerful: they are easy to use, not too demanding, andperform generously at the same time. Rondinella fins are perfect for snorkeling, free diving, and long swims.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Rondinella Full Foot Fins:
The fins feel great but after extensive snorkeling in St. John, the fins began to rub my feet raw.
The plastic under the arch of my foot would bend in a weird way. I wrapped my feet and was fine. I did an extensive amount of snorkeling 5hrs+ for 5 days wearing occasionally these feel great. I am taking my cert class now and haven't had the same problem. so it may be isolated. I have wide feet too and these fit great.
