Ok, I've tried to ignore it...but the damn foot pocket is still annoying. It hurts the top part of my foot after about 15 min of finning. I was hoping there's a way to just slightly (nothing drastic here) re-shape the foot pocket to have a slight arch on the top section of the foot pocket instead of it being flat. (I think SP should hire an ergonomics engineer)

Would some hot water and a foot mold inserted in the foot pocket be able to reshape the fins slightly? Has anyone ever tried reshaping their foot pocket? I've seen a lot of older Jets, and they don't exactly seem to 'stretch with age' so I don't think they'll feel better after a while.

Any other ideas?
 
I think the turtles have a bigger pocket or i have been hearing of some people wanting to reshape there pockets with a heat gun wich i think might work
 
Blow torch and a 2x4. Hey, if it doesnt work, buy some turtles...
 
I tried the turtles... they were too big... as are the XL and XXL jets. (I sound like Goldilocks hahahahaha)

I'm using L Jets... and they fit fine except for the shape of the footpocket. If the hotwater thing doesn't work... I'll go for a heat gun! Thanks guys! :)
