Terms and Conditions

We understand when purchasing products online may be difficult with sizes differing with all the different brands on the market. We have provided size chart guidelines for sizing as rubber swim fins are not the standard street shoe size as stretch around the foot needs to be taken into account. If you have a query please contact us.
