Orders from Dear Hubby :)

Date:July 28, 2010

My Hubby and I went through four pairs of Browning's kick fins over a twenty-year period. The only reason we stopped using them is that they were discontinued and we could no longer get the heel strap.

Hubby bought me a pair of Force Fins when I broke a foot so that the pressure wouldn't ride right over the break like it would have with the Brownings. Then, while looking for him a replacement, we came across these Scadden Flip Fins. They looked like a great replacement for the Browning fins; so, while he was thinking about it, I sneakily ordered him a pair.

He received them in less than a week (great delivery, Cabelas) and tried them out on our next fishing trip. He loves them. He says that they're every bit as good as the Browning fins in use, and a little easier to put on. Those two aspects combined with being able to flip them up and walk, makes them a winner. Since I'm having more and more trouble bending over to get the Force Fins on due to back pain, I commented that I was thinking about getting a pair of the Flip Fins because they'd be so much easier and less painful to put on. He said, "Well, order yourself a pair. In fact, do it right NOW! While you're in front of the computer and thinking about it!"

So I did. :)

Powerful Fins!

Date:April 19, 2010

These fins are really easy to put on and take off. They also adjust very easily.

The "flip" feature is nice to get in and out of water. They really aren't made to walk any distance but perfect for getting in and out of the float tube.

The fins are long so they are super powerful. I can really fly in these things! I would get these over force fins!

Flip Fins

Date:January 8, 2010

First Impression:

Was immediately impressed by the following things: My size 11 wading boot fits nice and snug into its very large molded foot compartment. The contact area between boot and fin is at least double, maybe more than my Creek Company fins (which I must admit have been very very good to me so far, but I'm a bit of a gear geek). The bottom side of the foot cup is somewhat threaded and will allow good contact area for walking with the flipper in the up position. The heel strap is a very beefy looking design with a long stainless steel spring inside it, this does concern me when used in the salt, but rising and being stainless should make it a non factor. The flip up and latch mechanism is very interesting, pretty easy to engage with my fingers and I'm was excited to give them a flap. The flipper looks nice and sturdy with some molded vertical reinforcements that I think will add to their durability and performance.

Practical Use:

Boot fit: Excellent fit over the boot and the bottom of the fin cup went at least 3/4 up my boot leaving only the sole around the heel exposed. The fin cup went comfortably over my size 11 boots and covered the entire top portion right up to the upward turn of the boot and my ankle.

Heel spring: Stretched pretty easily over the heel cup of my boot and stayed in place all day long, this is a rubber type tube surrounding a stainless steel spring that is designed to hold it on without pinching your heel (remember divers often wear them over skin or just thin neoprene)

Flipper spring and lock: Spring lifted the flipper up to my shin and kept it there. Although the ads say they will lock down with a standard kick of the fin I found that a little push was needed to engage the latch to lock the flipper in place. They are brand new, and this was oh so easy to do.

Walkability: Have you ever walked around in your fins? Well, I can walk a long way in these if necessary. I put them on in the parking lot, hiked with all my gear down the hill to the lake, then there was no fussing around like I normally have to do...sit, fins on, straps on, turn all around then get out. I walked down, set my gear down, sat in my tube and was off. Very efficient. I even took a break at mid day, flipped the latch open (with my opposing heel, quite easily too) the spring brought the flipper up along my shin and I was able to walk about, water the woods, get my lunch from the truck and walk back down and then off I went, again a time saving over my other fins.

Propulsion: Noticeably better than my Creek Company fins, which I must admit I've liked quite a lot. These are designed as dive fins with the walkability latch that reaches our float tuber market and I think they do that quite well.

Overall: I'm giving these a solid A. They move more water than my previous fins with the same effort.

Flipfins

Date:January 6, 2010

Now someone has come along to challenge Force Fins. Now you can walk on land like a real person instead of a drunken duck. Step into your tube or kickboat, snap the blade into place and you're good to go.

I've tried the flip fins in the river, and they propelled me as well or better than any fins I've used in the past, including Force Fins.

On land, they did what they were supposed to do--they stayed out of the way and let me walk around almost normally--far better than any other fin I've every used. And they were comfortable, easy to get on and off, and didn't fall off in the weedy, silty, murky edge of a lake--or even in the rocky, fast edges of the Clackamas River.

It was easy to get the blade released so it would go up and out of the way. Just hit the release with the heel of your other foot, and up it goes.

Once get settled in the water, give a swift kick, and the blade locks into place. Another way is to put one foot on the river bottom and push down with the other foot. Either method works.

The fins can be worn over a pair of wading boots, which is handy for fishing rivers because you might want to park your
boat on dry land for a bit and wade the shallows sans fins. They fit good over a pair of my Orvis boots. Definitely worth serious consideration by all kickboaters.
