Your cart is empty.Thanks to the compact length of the blade the 42/43 size in 37cm (14.5in) is the ideal fin for travel and for dives in warm waters.The orthopedic foot pocket with variable thickness provides superior comfort. The blade is constructed of Tecralene and Thermoplastic rubber for extended durability.When water spills over the sides of the blade, it reduces thrust, and decreases efficiency. Mares design was derived from observing marine mammals such as manatees in their natural environment. When swimming they bend their tail to form a channel, which optimizes thrust. When proper channeling occurs, all of the displaced water contributes to thrust.The "Channel Thrust" technology maximizes the channeling of water and moves a much greater amount of water compared to other fins of the same size. The result is greater thrusting power with the same amount of effort. Mares latest development in "Channel Thrust" technology is the new "Superchannel" design. "Superchannel" further increases the high performance level of Mares fins.

I spent so much time scouring the internet and reviews for correct sizing information, and ended up buying these in the Men's size 9.5-10.5. I wear a women's 11W in most shoes, and these fit great... wore them on four dives this past weekend. I may use a thin sock if it fits to help aid in not getting blisters on the back of my heel, but otherwise, no rubbing anywhere else. I bought the white/black, and they standout nicely in the water with other divers, but they do mar up pretty easily, so just be mindful of that.

Bought these for our trips to Barbados. They have held up very well. Good balance and propulsion from them. Will be buying a pair for my wife when she is ready for new ones.

I’m a professional diver in Hawaii and I do over 600 dives a year and I’ve used lots of different fins. If you do a lot of shore diving, or dive in cold water, I recommend using fins with booties. However, if you dive off a boat in the tropics like I do, you can’t beat these fins for the price. If you want to spent twice as much, The Mares avanti quatro power fins have way more power than these and a pair lasted me seven years. BUT the more power the fin has the more effort it takes to kick in them. These super channels are the ultimate mix of power, effort, durability and price. They have more than enough power for me to pull divers through current. And will last for YEARS at an unbeatable price. Almost everyone on the boat I work on uses these fins. If you dive in warm water, and don’t do rocky beach entries. You’ll love these fins for the price.
