Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

i'm a size 37, while the 36-37 fits really nicely without a sock it still gave me blisters. would need a really thin sock to go with this fin, otherwise it will be too tight. so perhaps get a slightly larger size if you intend to wear it with thicker socks.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

If you are using a stiff set of fins, ie. scubapro jet fins etc..., these take some getting used to. The action is very different. Great for casual diving, diving instruction and warm water applications.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

I used it for scuba diving in Malaysia. The fin can easily be packed to load for flights. Going against the tide was easier than ever.

If you need to use socks with your full foot fin, make it thin because it can be tight on the front part.

All an all, it's the must-have fins

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

I absolutely loooooooove these fins. They took a couple dives to get used to them vs. my former fins (Cressi) since the foot pocket was a bit sturdier, thus a little stiffer. Once i used them a couple times though, GOLDEN!! Efficient, comfy, easy on the knees which is good cuz I had ACL surgery. Good thrust. Have used them for snorkeling and even made pretty good depth freediving with them. Overall fantastic fin... little wide for me but i have funny feet... i wear a little sock and they are money!

Would probably have given 4 stars if I didn't have a pair of Superchannels first. Good fin, just not as comfortable powerful and responsive as the superchannels.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

I have been using the open heel Race fins for some time. Now that I live in warmer temps I can go barefoot and use full foot fins. I love these fins! Don't make my legs tired yet are very efficient and work well in alternate kick styles.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

Very efficient, nice for frog kicks. Used in the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos and Cozumel (no problem in the current). I have also used them for free diving, and they actually did a decent job, I was surprised. Only real cons : a bit too long (fits akwardly in my travel bag, but its not really an issue)and I did get some blisters on one foot, but after i used lycra socks, my blister healed and I went back to no socks and it's perfect. Very good product, I would recommend.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

I am a bit disappointed in this purchase. When I read the reviews, most purchasers said to purchase a size lower than one's normal sze. I normally take a 10 1/2 wide shoe. i purchased the fins in size 9 1/2 to 10 1/2 and thought that should be perfect! Unfortunately, they are a bit too snug and pinch the inside of both feet. However, I wore them for a week of diving in the Bahamas (no other option)and felt that I could not then appropriately return them.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

I bought these fins to replace my ageing Technisub Alas for underwater hockey and I am very happy with my choice. They have a similar feel, being quite flexible and of a similar size. Other fins I have tried have either been too soft (thus too slow) or too large and/or stiff (tiring me out and making it hard to turn & change direction).
The foot pockets fit pretty well without needing socks or bootees and so far haven't given me any blisters. There is just a little rubbing on the tops of my toes. Without this, and if they were just a little stiffer I would have rated them 5/5.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

I wear a ladies size 8. I got the 5-6 and they fit perfectly. I cannot though wear any booties or socks with them. The next size though is a 6 1/2 to 7 1/2, which even with booties were too big. They fit great though, and are comfortable in the water. I got these because I have bad knees and these are less stressful.

I bought these fins for my husband because he loves to go snorkeling. He absolutely loves them. He says they are very comfortable and there is no exertion on his legs. He even brought them to try them out a local pool and they worked great. Thanks so much for having such great quality stuff. It made my husbands Christmas. Sincerely Tammy from MA

These fins deliver a large amount of thrust with minimal effort. With each kick I can feel the thrust. They are so comfortable it's like slipping on a pair of (rubber) slippers!

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

This is very comfortable paddle fin. Easy, lightweight, and lots of power. I like the OPB that is cool. I can use a fast flutter and like a split fin I can get going pretty fast. It is definitely great on the legs and ankles, and whatever style kicks I use its pushing me real smooth.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

I bought a pair of these while I was going through my Divemaster certs. After struggling with some of the swim quals for Rescue diver, a friend turned me on to a pair of these. They made all the difference I needed for my 800 yard snorkel test. Great thrust from both the downward and the upward kick. Easy to get on and easy to take off. They'll change your experience.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

I bought these to go to Antigua. I normally dive with my Tusa Expert Zoom, but I didn't want to have to wear booties. I dove the Pillars of Hercules, and another couple of sites on the south side of the island off of Falmouth Harbor. We had rough conditions with a big surge and these were AWESOME. I also did some snorkling around the island and never got tired. I'd buy another pair tomorrow.

Comments about Mares Mares Volo Race Full Foot Fins:

I bought these for my snorkeling trip to the Keys and they worked out great. The fit nicely and were easy to use. I was able to mix up my kicks which made them fairly versatile. Of course I've only tried them with snorkeling but the seem to be perfect. I've read reviews of the old models breaking where the flex is but I can't really comment due to I've only used them on one outing. Bottom line is I'm very satisfied with these and would recommend them to others.
