*Floater*:Have you installed spring straps onto your fins? I did for my XL jets. went to a shop, put my foot/boot into the fin and tried several different sizes. I chose the 10" (spring length) which I was told fit best, but later it felt too tight so I stretched it out. In hindsight I would have chosen 11" or 12" springs. Maybe my experience was the exception.
I have 2 pairs of fins and both have spring straps. Not sure the legnth anymore but they are both different legnths because my foot fits in the pocket differently depending upon which boots/socks I am wearing. They easily switch back and forth on the fins depending on what I am wearing. Takes about 15 seconds to switch them on/off per fin if I have been drinking.
Yes, I do realize for you ScubaPro people this is a little different but for anyone with a standard head on their fins its no problem.
