    It looks like you may have to buy 2 different sized ones to cope with large and small feet, so to be honest, if you ordered one of each of the 5 or 6 sizes of regular pool training fins, it won't cost you much more, and you will have both a comfortable fit for them, and a decent performing fin, the fins pictured don't look like they will provide much of the feedback that is so beneficial to the learning process, so while they will provide a small loading boost and a small amount of increased feedback, you will be between two stools in terms of cost/benefit. Personally, Id get the sizes that you need instead, in zoggs or speedo training fins. If price is an issue, try some of the snorkelling targeted brands. At 25 sterling a pair, I'm pretty sure you'll cater for them all without having to fork out much more. so unless storage and transport of 8 pairs of fins is a major issue, go with the set sizes.
    Another thing that may be an issue with those fins is durabliity in chlorinated water, rubber straps don't last long unlesss they are made from a Chlorine Resistant compound, so you could be looking at having to replace 4 straps after a few months, extra expense. Its a tricky one, but I'd pay the extra to have the correct range of sizes, especially if you are only teaching 1 swimmer at a time and aren't going to need a few pairs of the same size.
