I write this review when I first get they , but one pair do not last nine month in the chlorinate pool . so I guess I will get another or maybe two to alternate. : this product be perfect for my entire swim routine : walk in the pool -lrb- push I along -rrb- , do squat against the wall -lrb- it allow good secure grip onto rail and wall -rrb- , and crawl stroke -lrb- better workout -rrb- . I give it 4 star instead of 5 because I think I would like it even better if the webbing go right to the top of the finger and enclose they ... ok , so it be now a few month later since I edit this review and the two set of these swim fin I get in May 2008 have start to seriously deteriorate with normal use . they be rip alongside the seam where they be stitch . so I be send they back to Amazon and yes I be order replacement and this will be the last time . if they fail this time , I will send they back to Amazon and I will look for another brand . I will reduce the star to 2 .
