I truly love walking and running with the RIPFLIP ambulatory fins. As a lifeguard I feel less than optimally because we are not allowed to walk in fins on a pool deck, but I feel very stable walking or running with the RIPFLIP on my feet. I feel very powerful pulling an at-risk victim to safety with these fins and am totally unimpaired crawling out of the pool and pulling a victim out of the water unencumbered with regular fins. I hope that RIPFLIP aquatic footwear rapidly becomes standard equipment in lifeguarding worldwide. Thanks for thinking outside the box to develop these miracle shoes.

A must for snorkeling and island hopping. I took these on a 2 week trip to SE Asia and while everyone else was struggling to get around rocks (most were razor sharp limestone literally impossible to walk on barefoot and sketchy in general), watch out for sea urchins, coral and have little to no propulsion using feet with sandals on them that would fill with sand every time you walked out of the waves onto the beach, while the neoprene uppers minimizes sand entry almost entirely. Well made, extremely useful, a must for any trip to islands , snorkeling, cliff jumping Etc. I cruised around with ease able to do twice as much in the same amount of time as everyone else and not damage shallow coral with the nice short fins.
