Should I purchase a pair of flippers?

I have heard numerous articles of how using flippers can improve your kick.... I would like to hear from those who have used flippers before on your training sets and the pros and cons of using one. I admit that I have tried it out before, but usually results in cramps after usage, and the skin at the back of my heel starts peeling. Despite all the bad exp I had, I still believe there certainly must be some good in using flippers. Thanks. :)

    fins are fun. There are days when one feels just terrible in the water and putting on the fins gives you enough lift to finish a workout . Zoomers don't last forever, I went through several pairs, they crack and then won't stay on your feet. I also decided they were causing low back pain. I now use the Slim Fin, which doesn't last forever either, the heel webbing wears out but the company sells a replacement kit. I don't have back pain after using the slim fins.
