Comfortable swim fins = comfortable swimming

shinfin™ leg fins really are more comfortable swim fins - so you enjoy more comfortable swimming.
(Foot flippers are a long way behind in the comfortable swimming race, as most people know!)

Comfortable flexible-size fit

shinfin™ leg fins flex to fit comfortably on the front of your leg - not around your feet at all.
(Foot flippers often hurt because foot pockets can't possibly fit different foot sizes, shapes, widths.)

Comfortable feet and toes

shinfin™ leg fins strap just above your ankles - so your feet are completely free to swim and walk.
(Foot flippers often squash your feet, causing pressure, sores, blisters and cramps.)

Comfortable ankles

shinfin™ power connects directly to your legs - so they don't strain your ankle joints.
(Foot flippers connect to your feet, so they bend and strain your ankles backwards.)

Comfortable Achilles tendons

shinfin™ straps go above your ankles - avoiding painful pressure on your Achilles tendons.
(Foot flipper heel pockets and straps often press on your Achilles tendons, causing pain and damage.)

Comfortable calf muscles

shinfin™ power doesn't strain your calf muscles to point your toes - your calves are relaxed.
(Foot flippers strain your calves, as your calves must point your toes to keep the flippers straight.)

Comfortable knees

shinfin™ streamlined kick has less knee-bend - so less knee ligament pressure, less knee-twisting.
(Foot flippers strain your knees, as they require more knee-bend and larger knee-twisting forces.)

Comfortable back

shinfin™ leg fins keep your thighs more horizontal, in line with your back - so less lower back pain.
(Foot flippers slope your thighs down in the water, causing more stress in your lower back.)

Comfortable straps

shinfin™ wide rubber straps are soft and ribbed - for extra comfort and grip.
(Foot flipper materials often rub and hurt so much that you can't swim for long with them.)
