If you absolutely want an open heel fin here is what Divernet said:
>>>MARES PLANA AVANTI X3 A three-channel version of the successful and ever-popular Plana Avanti range, these fins proved consistently good performers regardless of whose feet they were on, but failed to equal the best with an average maximum speed of 3.85kmph. A lot cheaper than the Quattros and only slightly less effective, they could be a good choice for those who want top performance on a budget, and they have good strap-buckles that proved easy to close up.<<
The Avanti Tre looks similar to the X3. Its performance is about the same as the Quattro or a skosh better. For some reason, as noted by well known researcher, Jim Grier, *full foot fins consistently outperform on speed trials*.
