Found some Mares Volo fins on E-bay for $115.00 A far cry from the shelf price in stores. Anybody have any opinion on these fins , performance, durability and so on?

I like them though they are starting to look more than a little worn after about 50-60 dives.....
Even worked alright with twin 15l (98's) at the weekend

FYI: Leisure Pro has the Volos for that price, so I wouldn't bid on them. It may be LP selling them, anyway. That's how I first found them.
As for if they're any good, I haven't tried them, yet, but will be following this thread to learn from others' experiences with them.
I've read that some divers experience wear or ripping at the hinges.

I tried them and felt like my feet were stuck inthe mud. They were very sluggish when changing directions or backing up. I will keep my turtles and frogs.

I'm a pretty new diver, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I've been happy with my pair, other than them looking "beat up" after only a few dives (as Jonathan mentioned). I haven't noticed any actual damage on mine (i.e. ripping, tears, etc.) - just cosmetic scratches.
I haven't noticed any big difference between them as compared to the ScubaPro Twin Jet Adjustables that I started out with (other than they don't crowd my toes as much as the ScubaPros did), other than them being less flexible and a bit heavier.
Not sure that I've ever even attempted reverse before (told ya' I was new), so can't comment there.
