Still though the middle of your broken nub and you can get any screw you like M6


Mares XR Power Plana Tek Fins
 
I'll play with a solution more out of boredom than anything else. They were my Santi DS fins which since getting an O'three don't get much use, I can still use my DR XT fins with the Santi, not as negative as I'd like but will work in a pinch. I'm not replacing them, too expensive.
 
A bolt can rub a hole in your boot.

Which is why the countersunk head was suggested first, but drilling out the cone from the inside may not be so easy.
 
The cone disappears into the washer


anyway here's one I have selectively designed right now

Admire the pervasive curvature with almost perfect dimension of the statuesque shikonce
 
So we assume a screw and washer won’t pull through in the same situation that broke off the post that is part of the original fin? I might use something like that in a pool but unlikely in the ocean.

Just get a larger washer.
It should work but not sure how for long because of the possible corrosion on the metal.

A large washer will spread the stress over a larger area at some possible expense to foot area, this is something I would do if I were in a far off land diving just to get through but not at home except in the pool. I’m at the opposite end of the shoe size than Simon so I tend to have plenty of spares here.
