I appreciate all the reviews on ScubaBoard -- and I use them to decide gear -- so here a short review of the Eddy fins. Like ScubaWithTurk, I also like the robustness of the spring straps. I think the weight, derived power, and buoyancy are good. I think they drain quite quickly and surely dry much faster than the boots, so I don't mind the two holes. The boots are very comfy. I would not classify the fins as floppy. Yes, the stiffness decreases over the length but the ends are still stiffer than other fins that I have used.
However, for my medium-high arches, and consequently, medium to high bridges, the large size fins gave me bridge blisters by dive number 9, or day 3, on the boat. I wear a size 9-medium width; for running, I prefer medium Currex insoles to high. The only wet rubbing comparison I can think of is running or biking hours in rain -- never received bridge blisters before. So, ScubaWithTurk and I have very different takes on the comfortableness of the foot pocket: it's plenty wide and deep, but the height is not appropriate for my feet. I ended up swapping to Scubapros for the last 4 days on the boat.
