i need stiff fins...the original fins on my Greco Eden are way too flexible...I'm hoping there is very little flex?

As far as soft board fins go, they are fairly stiff-any flex you get is going to probably be due to the fin box/board material itself that the fins are mounted in.

They are stiffer than the original fins on the board I replaced them with. However, they are not as stiff as the fins on my 7' Doyle Cabo.

I have purchased a pair of TYR Sport Burner fins for each of my grand children and they all love them. I got a size XSmall for the 7 now 8 year old. They were a little big but he is still wearing them. I think they really like the shorter fin as they aren't so awkward in them.

These fins are made to anchor into FCS plugs, not into longer, slotted fin boxes. If the board you are looking for fins for was made with FCS fin plugs, then the Dorsals, at least those in this image, will be fine. They fit and work great, and are much cheaper than FCS "designer fins". If your board is made to hold Futures fins, however, these Dorsals will not fit, nor will they fit a Red-X or O'Fish'l fins plug set up.I hope that helps.

If he has large ankles then it may be too tight but he can probably modify the openings. Also this fin is best for mermaid tails....not the same as more expensive monofins.

first, these are wonderful fins to wear. I believe they should be. If the top is a little snug you can trim a little off the top curve of the foot. I wear an 8.5 and use a med and they are perfect. You don't want them loose fitting.

i can't speak to the childrens' sizes but adults run small. if you can, buy fins at a store where you can compare features and quality. yes, they're guaranteed and you can send them back but that's a pain in the neck.

The lowest number on the size of the fins should be close to your shoe size

They fit my large Décor fins pretty good (very similar to scubapro jet fins). But as with all replacement fin straps they are a little thinner than the originals. So you either need to tape them with good electrical tape or as I do with black zip ties to make sure they don't slip. Of course they will only fit you after you do this.

I am a 9 wide and the heel I keep clipped down as far as it would go, but I use the thinnest booties. A little play is ok if you have boots. They come with plastic inserts (that I don't use often) and that may make up the difference if your feet are smaller than mine. They are great fins though

14 would be fine... but the fins should be a little tight ... otherwise, it may come loose

It's been a while since I last purchased my fins. I wear a size 5 and bought the smallest size. I would assume that a medium would be the right size to fit a size 7. They are adjustable, so the size seems pretty flexible.

The fins might be on the small side, you might have to have the straps all the way out but you should be ok just the toes will sick out a little.

I purchased the Stiff Stick after as the company recommended it after emailing them. The stiffness of the stick has to do with how much it can bend and not on the hardness of the PVC rollers. I have tight and firm muscles so the stiffstick was perfect. If your muscles are not as firm but softer, you would need the original stick which is more flexible.

Stiff and hard but with the slots more maneuverable...They aren't wet noodles on your feet. They're nice fins for ocean dives. Heavy so not a good fin for traveling.

I have used the replacement foot pads in my pool and Baracuda G3. They work OK but seem to wear faster than the original parts did. They don't seem to hang up any more frequent that the originals did. I will probably continue to use them as the price is much lower.

I'm also a 13.5 and because of the adjustable strap, they fit fine. I will say, however, that the strap requires constant retying due to the larger foot size. Also, I've moved to tradition fins because the Positive Drives tend to hurt my knees.

I do not know those fins. Mine are very tight. These are BIG sox! I love them but they take up a lot of room. Need bigger fins now.
