The "Flip Fins" were very helpful while moving around in a crowed boat.

They really work... you can walk in them, heck, you can even dance in them. They are very solidly constructed, with some non-slip rubber under the foot pocket to avoid slipping on pool decks. Really useful for tec divers staggering around with sling tanks under each arm, but nice for the rest of us too.

The two big knocks that I had read were (i) hard to engage in the water, and (ii) if you dive without a fullsuit, they rub the front of your legs. I didn't find either to be the case - one quick kick and you are off, and, although I wouldn't run a marathon in them, they are not uncomfortable to walk around in.

The one thing I do still struggle with is climbing ladders in them (when you step up, the blade "catches" the water and tries to lock down). But I suspect it is a matter of perfecting the "leaning back" technique when climbing the ladder.

I do worry a bit about how long they will last. They look really solid, but once the locking mechanism goes, you would have to throw them away. We'll just have to see...

I liked at first, but after about 10 shore dives one fin cracked up the middle under the boot. Then after about 15 dives the latch broke. So no more flip fin. If you do boat dives these fins would be great, if you shore dive, put them on in the water.

Fins are easy to walk in, great for moving around a crowded boat. Even greater on entry, and lock easily with just a couple of kicks.

However, if you had to walk very far in them, one needs to be wearing a fairly heavy suit, as they rub on the front of your legs.
These are big fins, which take a lot of force to move.. compared to split fins they are a tough change. However, if you use jets or some other solid fin, they would be easy.
With one of my boots, I could not move the latch (depends on the heal "edge", and had to remove to get on the boat. Other boots worked fine.
Bottom line, I actually like them..just need to get used to the strengh required to kick with them.
