Finis Zoomers Gold Swim Training Fins - Short Blade Design for Speed & Conditioning - Soft Natural Rubber Fit

Great swimming fins at a nice price. It was a pleasure using them at swimming at the beach.

Great for swimming in a pool

I bought it for swimming exercises. The material very good. I’m still using it. Good quality product

UPDATE : THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE SIZE F, AS I HAD TO RETURN THE SIZE E. NOT FOR A FAULT, BUT JUST BECAUSE IT WAS WAY TOO TIGHT FOR MY 8.5 FOOT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MEANT FOR FEET UPTO SIZE 9 I was looking for some fins that would help with building strength in my legs and thighs. these are perfect for that and really give your legs a workout ! These fit quite snugly without being too tight, although I had to get the size 9-10 to fit my 8.5 (mens) size foot. The one size smaller was way too tight. This really holds up in teh swimming pool, and I have been using these regularly - at least 3-4 times a week - for the past couple of months. No degradation at all. The construction is very solid, and these are definitely a bit heavier than I expected, but the weight only serves to help with the workout !

I usually wear a men's 8.5 shoe, so I ordered the "E" size of these FINIS Zoomers Gold. The "E" is supposed to fit Men's 7.5-8.5. but they were too small for me. I could barely get them on my feet and the fin were way too tight when I did. I know fins are supposed to fit a tad snug so they won't fall off my feet in the pool, but they were just too tight for comfort. So, I had Amazon do an exchange for size "F" fins. It was VERY easy to fill out the online info and I had my new fins in 2 days with my Amazon Prime. Amazon also paid for the return shipping on the first pair that was too tight. The return process could not have been more simple. I got my new Finis Zoomers Gold in 2 days as promised. The Size F fins fit perfect. I recommend if you are at the top end of size range like I am, then order up a size. The E would probably be fine for a size 7.5 (maybe even 8), but was too small for 8.5. Anyway, I wore my new Zoomers to swim my laps today at the YMCA. I swim a mile (freestyle) three times a week. Up until now, I felt like most of my workout had been in my arms/shoulders. I wanted to feel more work in my legs that's why I bought fins. The Zoomers did exactly what I'd hoped for. I swam my mile in about 5+ minutes less than usual with the Zoomers, but I felt a lot more work in my legs. Because I finished a bit early, I added an additional 5 laps with a kickboard using the Zoomers to work my legs more and that helped too. I think I will see significant improvement in my leg strength by using these. I highly recommend these, but order up if you are on the top end of a size range.

comfortable, a little exhausting for surf photography. in shorebreak one was ripped off my foot and did not float back.

Just the right size for lap swimming. Sizing runs true. Socks may be required to avoid hot spots. Offers improved kicking intensity.

I was debating between the two when I wanted to buy a pair of fins. So I had a live chat w/ a customer service rep. She was really helpful. Below is a summary of what I learned: The Zoomers Gold helps the swimmer to keep a fast kick but move more water and hence work the legs. If you are going to do swimming to work your legs and have about 30 minutes to squeeze a workout in, then go for the Gold. Also the Gold tends to help newer swimmers feel the propulsion and be more aware of their legs. The Zoomers Gold are a little heavier. The Z2 is the more refined option for the same purpose. It's slightly longer (1/2") and more flexible with an added toe box on the underside of the fin to really catch more water on the upkick. If you are going to be doing any long swims time wise or distance wise, then the Z2 is a better option. Also, if you are comfortable swimming and want to add a muscle building and comfortable fin to the routine, the Z2 is the way to go Both are short fins which help you to maintain a quick kick tempo and you will feel less different when you kick without the fins. As I am still a beginner, trying to improve my kicks, I bought the Gold, and loved them. Very comfortable and definitely, I am more aware of my kicks. Good luck!
