Fitness Fins are short, dual intensity fins with stiff blades which create maximum resistance in the water. Strengthen leg muscles - added resistance increases the workload on your leg muscles which increases strength and endurance. Increase workout speed - Fitness Fins add extra propulsion to the stroke, which increases speed with minimum effort leaving you free to ingrain correct technique. Develop ankle mobility - The increased surface created by the Fitness Fins forces ankle extension during kicking, which makes the kick more propulsive and efficient.

Great swimming tool
My som is a professional swimmer and bought these fins for training. They fit him really well, the size was just as described. The quality seems to be very good as well.

Large fitting, heavy, and slippery on turns, but comfy
This is the first pair of training fins I've used, so can't really compare, but my comments would be:1) They're quite heavy, which I don't mind at all, but some people might not like2) I'm a size 9, and they are quite big on me (but it is a 9-11, so kind of expected). On backstroke push off, in particular, the heel strap keeps coming off. In their defence, my backstroke turns aren't the best.3) Pushing off, in general, needs to be straight off the wall. As I'm mostly in a public lane session, and it's double width because of COVID but people still stand around, I'd have to stop, find a space, then push off again, there is no traction at all on the underside (this is probably standard, so not really a complaint).4) I thought the joint at the change in colour might cause rubbing, but it's actually all one piece of rubber, just a different colour (shown in photo)5) They aren't very long (they're great for me, but some people might prefer longer). Photo 2 showing one on my size 9 foot, with a medium cat, for scale.

Great evolution in fin design!
Worn by my wife during our open water swimming adventure holiday with Swim Trek in Turkey. She loves them and after a 5k swim today, rated them super comfortable compared with her current fins that feature full heel wraparound. Can fully endorse the effectiveness of the short blade which does not place undue stress on ankles, calves or legs in general.

Effective to improve swimming style and fitness
I find them slippery in the water but otherwise they provide good training.
