Hello
May I ask how should the booties fit the FF?
I been using Henderson Insta Dry 7mm booties Women size 6 with FF Original size L the last 10yrs.
As my cuneiform bone is protruding I had to cut a hole on the top of the fins. Ever since I have used those fins on all sorts of dives in the tropics. I LOVE my FFs!
I tried using my pair of Tan Deltas but they feel a tad stiff for me. (I am only 5'2" and 105lbs) So I went back to the Originals.
However recently those old booties has started giving me blisters on one of my heels. Thus I bought a generic 5mm bootie from Dive Gear Express. It is super comfortable but the heel is flushed to the back of the FF and i can feel my bootie swiiming a bit in the fins. I shortened the bungee a bit but its still loose. And my FFs fell out of my booties when I tried to fin up onto a zodiac to rolll myself up. Fortunately one of the guys dived down to retrieved it for me.
Thus I have 3 Qs. I am wondering if I should move down to a size ML or a size M. We do not have a distributor here anymore so I cannot try it to decide before I buy.
Secondly should I get back a Original or try the Pro? My husband suggested I get the pro.
Thirdly will you be in ADEX in Singapore in April? Or do you have a representative in Singapore who carry the various sizes so we can try?*
*having said that I shortened the bungee and they felt ok on land but back in the water the pads on the bungee started flipping back again. I was v worried when I had to do a wall dive or my safety stop in the blue as I was worried I will lose my fins.
Thank you for any kind advise anyone might have.
Warm regards
