Graham got used to shinfinTM fins quickly, finding them very comfortable and allowing him to workout with his natural stroke rhythm. They help him to workout his glutes and legs because they train a better kick with power from his hips.
Graham’s review from Coolbinia, Australia
“I’ve used them twice and they were great; very comfortable and easy to keep my natural rhythm. Made my legs & glutes work hard. No hesitation recommending the shinfinTM fins.”
Graham’s review: Very comfortable workout with his natural rhythm
“Thanks for the follow-up. I’ve used them twice and they were great; very comfortable and easy to keep my natural rhythm. Made my legs & glutes work hard. Have been overseas since late November. Will use them again once I’m home. Attracted interest from other swimmers, as well as my physio. No hesitation recommending the shinfinTM fins to them.”

Many thanks for your email Graham, that’s great. We get a lot of feedback like this. It is quite fascinating how the streamlined kick pattern stays with you as you train with shinfinTM fins and strengthen for the correct kick action. And then how these benefits transfer to your “no-fins” swimming too.
Thank you for spreading the shinfinTM word. Personal recommendations are the best thing for getting a new idea like this going, so I really appreciate it.

Many thanks for your kind permission Graham. All the best.
Conclusion
Comfort is often one of the first benefits you notice with shinfinTM fins. This is because they fit on your legs, not on your feet. That also leads to a better swimming style. If you are already a good swimmer, then you will feel this as your natural stroke rhythm, with an increased muscle workout in your legs and glutes (as Graham found). Otherwise, they will guide you into a better kick, powered from your hips by the stronger muscles in your thighs and torso.
So overall, they give you a better workout without cramps in your feet and toes. This other review further illustrates the proper stroke, body position and breathing.
