I bought a pair for a recent trip to Kona. They're light and have a very comfortable foot pocket. I had read the reviews rating them as among the top performers~ and while I'm not disappointed in their performance, I wouldn't say I was overly impressed. I have the Apollo splits with spring straps, and I like their power better. Just seems like effortless thrust compared to anything else I've used. These Mares are good for snorkeling and for light weight travel, but I'd rather have the Apollos along if given the choice. I will say that for the money, the Mares are a very good value.

I have always liked Mares fins. From what I've read, they are a good fin for a moderate price.

I bought a pair of the "full foot" version and used them for the first time back in May and loved them. I wanted something lighter to travel with and they are the ticket. It's probably all I'll travel with from now on unless I'm headed to Bonaire or somewhere else you do a lot of shore diving.

I think for the money they are one of the best fins on the market. You won't be disappointed.
