Outcast Power Kick Fins - Belly Boat

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!

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.

These are the best fins I have ever used. I've had a pair of force fins for years and love them as well, but getting older made putting the force fins on more and more difficult. The design of these fins is such that they are very easy to put on and any size wading shoe will work with them--another plus.If I have one complaint, it's that they aren't as maneuverable in the water as the force fins, but that's just a minor complaint.

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 directionsDisadvantages:-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.

Used these twice so far. Work very well, strapped over 5mm dive boots; room to strap on over wading boots if that's your thing. I replaced the dumb buckles with quick-release buckles. Step in. Click click. Go fishing. They seem to work as well as my Force fins, which cost more than twice as much...and which cracked two years after purchase. The Power Kicks should cost about fifty bucks, based on the material and R&D that went into them. But as long as people are willing to pay close to $300 dollars for Force fins, these are a screamin' deal.
