One of the pockets on my husband's fins has lost its shape, making things a bit more difficult getting fins on when shore diving in a drysuit.

I was going to store the fins with those fin pocket shaper things that the fins come with when you buy them new, but I think they might have been thrown out. For now I stuck a rockboot in the pocket to help give it shape and keep the pocket from collapsing, but would really like a better solution for longer term storage and travel when packed in a suitcase. I've been looking around online for a replacement pair of those fin pocket inserts but I can't find anyone who sells them. Does anyone here know where I might find a replacement fin pocket insert/shaper?
 
Just stuff it with a towel, or if traveling, some cloth item you have like underwear or a t-shirt. Should do the trick nicely.

You could also make one with a fairly stiff piece of plastic (from TAP plastics). Cut to shape, bend, and insert.
