Her fins float a bit (but are not corks), she wears 3mm booties.

An upgrade to spring straps will add some weight way out where it will help. It makes donning and doffing carefree too.

As you see there are many ways to skin this cat including ankle weights.
 
Thank you all for your time and thoughts! I'll try out what I can this weekend in the pool and see what works best.

Remember that pool is different than ocean because of salt. I recommend neoprene socks. Those fins are the best ever made if they are the ones I think they are the scubapro jet fin was designed long time ago and even the brand new ones have the same design, I guess that the booties may be the problem but like Dave stated take it easy try redistributing the weight but most important have fun because that is what is all about....
