Swim Fins as Nature intended !
shinfin™ leg fins = Swim fins advantages
Why? Because these flippers fit on your legs
Join the shinfin™ swimming revolution
Have you ever wondered why foot fins still cause you so many problems, even after nearly a century of trying so many different designs? It's because all foot flippers have the same basic flaw - all foot fins are attached to your feet! That's where all their problems start. Read on to find out more...
Email Me - I'd love to hear from you.
What are the biggest problems you have with foot flippers?
What annoys you most about foot fins?
Fix that basic foot flipper flaw, by strapping swim fins to your legs, and you get all sorts of interesting advantages. That's what shinfin™ leg fins are all about. So, which swimming fins advantages do you value most? There are so many to choose from. Checkout the overview below and click for more details of each advantage.
shinfin™ leg fins really are more comfortable swim fins - so you enjoy more comfortable swimming. Comfortable flexible-size fit. Comfortable feet, toes, ankles and Achilles tendons. Comfortable calf muscles, knees and back. In short, comfortable swim fins all over. Basically, they leave foot flippers for dead in the comfortable swimming fins race.
shinfin™ leg fins fit easily. Foot size doesn't matter at all because they don't strap on your feet. They adjust to fit your height, leg circumference and leg shape. These swim fins adjust to fit with or without a wetsuit, and many people can share them too. In short, they are highly adjustable swim fins. They beat foot flippers hands down (or should I say "feet down") for swimming fin adjustment.
shinfin™ leg fins are made from tough hi-tech polyurethane, strapped around your leg, so you get stronger swim fins for less weight. Weighing less than 300g (10oz) each, including strap, they are also smaller, flatter and easier to pack. They have integral moulded polyurethane buckles and quality, replaceable, natural rubber straps. In a nutshell, they are extremely tough, light swim fins. Foot flippers are heavier, bulkier and often made from cheaper materials that tear easily - so they don't even come close if you are after light, tough swimming fins.
shinfin™ leg fins fit on your legs, not on your feet. So your feet are free to walk, swim, and climb up or down pool steps and boat ladders safely. You can dive in properly and turn easily in the water, flip-turns too. They let you stand, kneel and drop-knee on surfboards, bodyboards and kneeboards. Basically, these swim fins leave your feet free to have fun, safely. Foot flippers pale in comparison, if you want "freedom for feet" and safety from your swimming fins.
shinfin™ leg fins are kicked from your hip, with only a little knee-bend. So they workout your hip power from your thighs, buttocks, stomach and lower torso muscles. They let you relax your calves, ankles and feet. They encourage smooth muscle power throughout each stroke, to optimise eficiency. They train the correct muscles for elite swimming - freestyle, backstroke and butterfly. You can also position these swim fins to different heights and angles on your legs, to optimise your muscle action. Basically, these swim fins use your muscles in the correct way. Foot flippers are kicked more from your knee, giving a less streamlined kick, using the wrong muscles - not what you want from your swimming training fins.
shinfin™ leg fins gently lift your legs and body horizontal, for less drag. They guide you into a streamlined kick from your hips and encourage you to keep your knees fairly straight - like good swimmers do. They let your ankles and feet relax, and guide the right time to flex. The up and down kicks give smooth power throughout each stroke, optimising efficiency for freestyle, backstroke and butterfly. You can adjust the swim fins to different heights and angles on your legs, to further optimise streamlining. Overall, these swim fins feel natural and streamlined. In contrast, foot flippers sink your hips and thighs down in the water, and make you kick from your knees (the common "bicycle-kick" problem), creating drag and ruining your streamlined technique - not a good idea for your swimming training fins.
shinfin™ leg fins are amazing for teaching and training your swimming technique. It doesn't matter whether you are learning to swim or already a good swimmer, child or adult, able-bodied or disabled. They train your body and legs to be streamlined, and train your legs to balance each arm pull. They train your ankles and feet to relax, and when to flex, and train your muscles to deliver power efficiently. Interestingly, they train your swimming technique even after you take them off - you can feel your new kick pattern getting automatically imprinted into your muscle memory. They train your freestyle, backstroke and butterfly, and can be positioned to optimise your kick. In short, they offer great swim technique training for all. In complete contrast, foot flippers make you bend your knees too much and ruin your technique - not what you want from your swimming technique fins.

These are the only swim fins I have ever used that do not cause my feet or calves to cramp. A great innovation. – William from Virginia, USA.

I love them. They work your quads and abs so strongly that I don’t want to swim anymore without them. Thanks for such a great product. You can use my testimonial. I am a Chiropractor and also have a Masters Degree in Sports Health Science and I have tried other fins and these are the best. - Dr William from Puerto Rico.

They are great. I can definitely feel the change in the muscle sets that are used with the shinfin™ swimming fins compared to the other foot fins. I have also had no more problems with cramping in my feet. – Susan from Canberra, Australia.

They perform exactly as you describe. – Florida, USA.

They work great and the level of comfort is excellent. Finally the limiting factor isn't pain in my feet. Much different feel from traditional fins, but this is a good thing. Rather than stressing all the other joints as regular fins did, pressure is concentrated in a more natural area. - Tom from San Diego, USA.
