Have you tried different types of kicks with the fins you have? My knees are terrible, but when I started using a frog kick instead of a flutter or modified flutter kick, the pain ceased. I realize everyone is different, just something to ponder.....

Same here.
 
you might wont to try the all rubber split fins - i know that aqua lung and apollo both make them.
 
Check out some new fins from Morfin Corp. They use foil-shaped blades which make them true hydrofoils. Foil shapes let you sail instead of paddle and they don't need long kicks to work. The manufacturer says the ideal kick is like treading water. I've using Natural Delfins for some time now and find them easier than any other fins that I have ever tried. Their web site is Mor-Fins for SAIL!
