I am finding incredible deals ($35)on E-Bay on the full-foot version of the Zoom fins. Can anyone tell me why they are so much less than the strapped version?

Don't have any idea, but own a pair and they're great fins!

To my knowledge its just the convenience that makes the strap on ones cost more.

It is all a case of taste I guess. I own a pair of open foot Tusa Zooms and I really dont like them at all. They are weak in current. I much prefer my Mares Avantis.
But if they work for someone else then fine. I would just say if you have a chance to try them out if current first......do it.

I agree that in currents (depending on the strength we're talking about) they may not be adaquate. However, diving here in South East Asia, where there is very little current at most sites, they're a dream.
I love mine, even in currents. I have the open pocket ones. I like them because I do a lot of shore diving, and like wearing the booties across the hot sand and sharp shells and rocks.
probably because there isn't much of a market for full foots.
