Comments about Sherwood Kinesis Open heel Fins:

I thought I knew how to use a pair of fins - until I got a pair of these. I read all of the reviews posted here and decided on buying them. From the first day I used them I felt as though they didn't give me much propulsion - especially against a current. To confirm what I suspected, I resorted back to the inexpensive Mares Avanti HP Full Foot Fins that my favorite dive shop rents to its customers. I was then able zoom through the water in those fins which were 1/3 the price. I think it has to the with the flexibility of the fins. The Sherwoods are noticably more rigid than the Mares Avantis. They just didn't work for me.

I am 6'3" and 250+ pounds. I was debating on these, the Scubapro Seawing Nova , and split fins. Boy am I glad I choose these. They fit phenomenally with boots, they have good straps, they look fantastic and perform even better. The propulsion, the agility and the design make for an excellent all around fin for normal size and us heavier guys as well. I prefer these over teh splits by a mile, and just a bit better then the seawings.

I had Volos before and use these fins as a replacement .
We went spearfishing with my buddy (he still has Volos) and I had no problem to stay beside him. Good fins for good price.
