Attached Boots DUI TLS, causing floatiness

[mainedvr]

I have a DUI TLS350 that has attached boots, I like it and like the boots attached one less thing to loose or forget. But during the time I have had it I notice at times my feet feel floating and I am certain this is why. I have been using fin keepers on the boots to help but was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if so how have you dealt with it. Again its not a major issue and I manage the bubble fine just curious.

Yeah the ones in the attachment, I bought the suit used so not sure what came with it. Again its not a major issue only if I go feet up to take a picture or look into a hard to get to crevice but even then I can easily manage it. But will have to look to see what would have come with the suit.

The fin keepers prevent the boot from slipping off your feet, but they will not help much with a floaty feet problem. The fin keepers will help with that feeling of the boot slipping off your foot.

How much room do you have left in the boot? Also, how much material do you have left in your calves? If you have a lot of loose material, this may also aggregate your problem. Would you have access to gaiters to see if they may help? My size Small TLS350 had a lot of extra material and the gaiters helped quite a bit. Bought an XSmall, which fits perfect and I do not need the gaiters or the fin keepers but I like the firm attachment that the fin keepers provide.

I use fin-keepers with 2 pairs of extra thick wool socks which fill the boots almost completely. I used to run the ankle straps through the fin-keepers to keep them on until I realized they weren't doing anything (after one strap fell off boot).
