I love the ease of the strap. The fins are sensational, but I notice that at slow speeds or at idle the fins tend to sink to were it feels as though my feet are well below my wasteline. It takes like what seems an over exageration of lifting them to keep this from happening, almost like my feet are above my head. Is this typical? Thinking about trying fins that float. By the way, this is my first post.

You need to adjust your overall trim. IIRC the bio-fins are negative which means that you need to counter balance that (and your other gear) such that you can float horizontal while stationary. Depending on your configuration, you can do this by (1) moving your tank slightly higher, (2) shifting weight slightly higher - I use a 3lb weight on my highest tank band. If you are happy with the fins, you shouldn't need to change them just to address trim issues.
