Blue Max Resistance Aquatic Fins - Omnidirectional Water/Drag Resistance Exercise for Lower and Upper Body Pool Workouts - Includes Online Demonstration Video (Fins Pair HRBBLS)

I've been using these for about 3 years now for my entire, 3x per week, workout. They do an excellent job in increasing my resistance in the water, and, therefore, making my workout harder. The Velcro seems to still be working very well despite so many instances of waterlogging. I am just starting to think about replacing since they are starting to loosen during use for that reason. The resistance level is worthwhile but not overwhelming to this 62-year old non-athlete. I kind of wish they made an even harder level. I highly recommend.THIS IS AN ADDITION TO A PRIOR REVIEW: I purchased these twice. The first set was wonderful and the velcro held up against the chlorinated water very well and for a LONG time. The last pair I bought I didn't have that much luck with. Almost immediately, I found that the velcro on the fins started to lose purchase in the water and I would have to re-apply them so they were tight again. This is now 6 months from purchase, and I've had a significant problem for awhile (3x per week use.) I would still recommend, but since I saw this issue in another review, I thought I would update.

My complaint about them is how they slip around, no matter how tight I try and get them or where I place around my ankles. They do provide the needed resistance. Since they slip, too hard to try and walk in them in the pool. For me strictly for leg work. Would recommend them for that.

This product I kept in my wish list for awhile because of the price. Should have ordered them sooner. Yes, they are pricey... but well made and give me a great workout. I do most of my workouts in a lake... and not wanting to loose one of these I put a bungee type band on them... never lost one, and they have never turned on me as in others review of this product. I do how-ever wear a wet suit so that may also help in the “turning” problem other customers have complained about. Don’t knock this item because of the price... I’m very happy I ordered them.

So yes the velcro closure is easy to use but as tight as I make it, I still can't get a snug fit so they move which is NOT good in the water. The other design flaw I experienced is that if you are doing simultaneous leg kicks, you kick yourself since they "fins" are so wide. If not for these issues, I would have given a 5 rating. I guess if you are guy or have thicker ankles, they can work. Deciding if I want to send them back or not. Hoping the company replies with some suggestions.

I have been using these fins for pool rehab since my hip surgery. Have been very effective in helping me get stronger and more flexible. My physical therapist son recommended pool workouts and they have been great. I highly recommend these over the stretch bands that wrap between the ankles. More comfortable and effective.

Very expensive for what it is. Does not hold well, no matter how tight, it gets loose quickly and not much resistance. No muscle burn at all after one hour exercise in the pool

I am a long time water workout gal. Cardio and weight training. Over the years (20+) I have worn out two sets of ankle resistance equipment/boots and was in the market for new ones. My favorite brand was no longer available and took a chance on these. So glad I did!! Easy to put on. Offers nice adjustable sizing. Great resistance in the water. Very very happy and highly recommend.

Do add resistance but hard to get tight enough so they dont move during exercise and rub on top of foot which is painful and frustrating

The quality of the product is unquestionable. They are unfortunately not what I need but by the time I got to try them out it was too late to return them.

Purchased these for rehab following Total Knee Replacement to add extra resistance to my hydrotherapy routine.At session end and that night I certainly found that what I had purchased them for had worked as my quads particularly felt like they'd had a real workout.I noted, prior to purchase, review comments that mentioned them coming loose. I agree with this. I ensure they are on as tightly as I can manage. These are great but I do need to overcome this issue, especially as the problem is exacerbated by the strong endeavour I bring to my workout. I will now look at incorporating some long scuba style booties that extend up the calf. I believe the neoprene to neoprene contact will eliminate the loosening and slipping as occurs with skin contact and a narrowing calf profile. Good product and well priced.

good resistance

These fins are so easy to use, have a universal fit and add great resistance to water exercises.

Comfortable to wear and works well in the pool for resistance
