Scuba Forum / UK Scuba / January 2008open heel fins
Hi All This may sound like a sill question but.. If I wear open heel fins and boots, how far up my foot should the back of the fin go to? I think I might have bought open heel fins designed for wearing without boots, as if I put my boots on with them, the back of the fin is only about 3/4 of the way toward my heel. Does that sound right?? cheers Rick  Signaturevisit http://eastsnorkelers.weebly.com > Hi All > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > boots, as if I put my boots on with them, the back of the fin is only > about 3/4 of the way toward my heel. Does that sound right?? No. Prepare to get blisters around your foot - especially on the medial side - if you wear these without boots. It can be done (I used to do it) but it takes a few weeks of daily wear to form the required callouses. Ken yes that that's ok, different fins fit to different lengths along the bottom of the foot, I have sever pairs of fins which end before my heel. when I use them just for swimming I put on a pair of wet suit boots also handy for walking down the beach giving some protection. |
