Outcast Sporting Geardiving-Swim-fins

They work very well! Very adjustable and secure with my size 15 Korkers Devil's Canyon wading boots and heavy sole scuba boots in conjunction with tether straps just in case a fin should come off but haven't yet. I use them with my Wilderness SE pontoon boat and my Cumberland float tube. These fins move me right along and I have no problem maneuvering with them whether I'm using pontoon boat or float tube. They are easy to get on and of and seem to be very well made. I have no regrets on purchasing them as they fit well and work good.

I've been using these to fish small lakes and ponds. It took me a while to get the hang of kicking with them, but after two outings or so, feels perfectly natural. I wear neoprene waders, with size 12 wading shoes over them (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZXW1QPD/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1). These fins fit perfectly, with additional adjustment range left if you need to go bigger. Advantages: +Strap system. The straps tighten down to adjust to your boots, and after several hours on the water, they are still properly tightened. +Retaining buckle strap. These prevent you from losing the fins of by some change they fall off (which hasn't happened to me yet). So many negative reviews on other fins where folks have lost them in the water. +Flexibility. The fins are flexible in one direction (upward), which makes them more efficient at propelling you than fins which are stiff in both directions Disadvantages: -Weight. A little on the heavy side for backpacking longer distances. -Not for walking/wading. The flippers are too long for that, and you should only be putting these on when you're next to your float tube/pontoon.

When these fins arrived at my house I was wondering if I may have wasted 90 bucks. They were smaller than I expected so I had concerns about how well they would move my 240lb body (plus float tube and gear) around the water. Well, I tried them out for the first time today and holy smokes I’m impressed. They’re incredibly light and comfortable even with my size 13 wading shoes, it honestly felt like I wasn’t wearing flippers at all. And I was completely surprised at how fast they got me around. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because the straps don’t come equipped with quick release buckles, which I added myself with little effort. Also I think the price could be about 15 dollars lower. Other than that, great fins and worth the money if you’re willing to spend it!

I am new to float tube fishing and the fins I had came with the Float Tube. I purchased these fins after doing a ton of research and decided to spend the extra money. Well when they came I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the product and that it also came with ankle tethers (they were not shown in the picture). I've used them 3 times so far and although I thought I was going to fly across the water at Mach 1 they did move me much better than what I had using less energy. I read to stay relaxed and kick slowly. That worked the best and I think to myself, pretend you are on a lazy river ride. Enjoy the fishing and take it slow and easy. They are a little heavy but that is only because of the thickness of the material and the quality of the flipper.

These are the first fins I've owned to go with the first float tube I've owned. They work great! They're easy to put on and take off, and give all the kicking thrust I could hope for. A tip for the beginner.... don't try to kick too hard. You'll just wear out your legs, and have a miserable time. Light, easy kicks are all it takes to move you across the lake/pond. Also when turning, just relax your legs and ankles, and don't try to be stiff thinking you'll turn faster. It's much better when relaxed and loose. I also recommend investing in some kicker keepers. It's just a lanyard that attaches to the fins, and your legs. They're inexpensive insurance for $100 fins if they should slip off your boots in the water. They do not float!

Junk, straps broke 1st time using. Outcast is not the same quality that they used to be.

I'm not very experienced with my kick boat and fins. However, these fins are clearly far superior to the set I borrowed from a friend to start with. They are easily adjustable, fit snugly and not light weight or flimsy. They are obviously pricey and maybe they are worth the money. Time and experience will tell.

I've used a few different brands of float tube fins over the years. The outcast fins are my favorite fins to use with wading boots on but dive fins will propel you better and with less effort. Dive fins are longer and more flexible and will move you much faster.
