Scubapro
4.5
(22)
"Scubapro go travel fins they work for any application."
"I really like my Scubapro Gos."
"Scubapro Jetfins, there is nothing better."
"I love scuba pro jet fins."
"Jet fins are the only ones that I have tried that I can't over-kick."
"By far the best are Scubapros Jetfins. They will outlast you most likely and the third world war."
"Scubapro jet fins or the NOVA gorillas."
"They’re super sturdy, stay on your feet extremely well, and give me lots of push underwater."
"They are extremely easy to kick, and provide a ton of propulsion."

Mares
4.4
(12)
"I really like the Mares Avanti Quattro (stiffer, more powerful) and Mares Superchannel (more flexible, less power) fins."
"My personal favorites are the Mares Avanti Quattro+... Great rec fin, great tech fin."
"Mares X-Streme are perfect"
"I used Mares Superchannels for hours at a time on my last snorkel trip."
"The best are undoubtedly mares quattro, scubapro go and finally seawing nova."
"They are well-regarded as good general-purpose fins. They deliver good power, while still allowing for some defined level of buoyancy control."
"+1 for the Mares Avanti."
"Powerful enough to get you moving in a current but not so stiff that they will cause cramps."
"Or you go with mares avanti, can’t go wrong with them."
"Mares Avanti Quattros are solid fins if you want a rec."

"I love my RK3. They are my go to fin unless I'm diving in heavy current."
"I love my RK3s and I take them everywhere."
"Apeks RK3 Fins, built for a husky foot."
"I would recommend the rk3... rk3s are great."
"I dive the hd ones, which are only surpassed by my old pair of jetfins."
"I think the rk3 is relatively light weight compared to others of that style."
"The RK3 HD is also a stiffer version of the RK3 you might consider."
"Apeks RK3/4 seems to return a lot here."
"If you were to go that way Apeks RK3, Oceanic Accel and Aqualung Phazer all fit wide and or high arch feet."
"I have XL Apeks RK3s and they fit my size 14 feet pretty well."

(11)
"The Cressi Sprints are awesome!"
"May I also suggest the Cressi Cleo. They are smaller and surprisingly powerful."
"Have the Cressi Gara Modular, just get a fin bag!"
"The cressi sprints are a solid, cheap option."
"Pretty much anything from Cressi. Affordable and comfortable."
"They are starting to form some chips and cracks now, and I feel they don’t give me as much power."
"Try to find foot pocket that is best for you. I like Cressi Gara, modular."
"Try some Cressi or TUSA with bungee straps."
"Cressi pro light $65 from Amazon."
"I’m thinking at the cressi modular or maybe salvimar turn."
