Downsizing fins

[EvilKidsMeal]

Has anyone had any luck slightly downsizing fins? I wear a size 10 boot and I have a pair of large Scubapro Twin Jets. The width is perfect with my 7mm boots, but because the toe pocket is so generous on those, I can shove my foot in until my toes pop out which makes them tingle a bit.

**Before you say it, I tried the mediums and they squeeze the sides of my feet, more than I would prefer.** The larges are snug enough on the sides, and overall they aren't sloppy.

I have been messing with making a KYDEX insert, but I've never worked with it before so it's not going well currently.

Anyone made something, or heard of a way to slightly snug up some fins? Or would spring straps help, by not feeling like I need to cinch the straps too tight?

shoe laces - is most universal way.

or you can make inserts for fins pockets Вопрос по изменению ОМС слипстиримов + ФОТО ОТЧЁТ!: Клуб любителей экзотического дайвинга: Подводный форум больных дайвингом.

If you don't mind downsizing your wallet, you could try Force Fin Pros. I bought mine on eBay for a lot less than retail.

I'm not looking to buy new fins. I really like these ones. Just trying to figure out a more custom fit. The fight is close enough that it doesn't nag at me while diving, but if I think about it, I feel like I have to readjust.

I do not.

I do not.

Maybe try these, it'll give you a little more padding, and size...

Some people pay good money for that.

These are a lot less than the thermocline and are neoprene. A bit more thickness and warmth. I've tried Tusa, LavaCore, and these. I like these best.

So are you talking wear these over my 7mm boots, or inside? I definitely don't have space inside for another 3mm.
