Re: Swim fins/flippers
I'm really liking the new Viper Vector V7 fins that I just got. They're a little stiffer than the older, more broken-in pair of yellow dot V7's that I've been using.

Re: Swim fins/flippers
Good to hear it. The two pairs I attempted to slip on refused to go on. Super small pocket entry and a very stiff heal.

They're definitely harder to put on than my original pair. I have to slide my foot all the way in before pulling up the heel strap. Hopefully they'll loosen up a little over time.

Re: Swim fins/flippers
Nok, how would you characterize your feet? Long & narrow, short and stubby, high arches... etc.? Just trying to shed some light on relative fitting for folks. Thanks!nok wrote:They're definitely harder to put on than my original pair. I have to slide my foot all the way in before pulling up the heel strap. Hopefully they'll loosen up a little over time.

Re: Swim fins/flippers
I have a size 10 foot. My feet are on the narrower side with high arches.
I wear 3mm booties and bought the size XL fins.
