Are these good for open heeled fins or are primarily usedd with full foot fins?

I have only used them with open heal fins but if the close heal ones are generous, they should work.

These work well with both fins. Prevents blisters and provides protection when walking on rocky grounds.

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.

Hi SaraIf your buying a woman's fin go m-lIf men's s-m, they are an open back design with adjustable strap, I dive mostly in cold water so I wear a 5mm boot, I am a size 8 and the s-m are just fine. The fins are good, they are stiff and that makes for good speed, but it does take good strong legs if you are doing multiple dives.

No, there pretty tight. The will not keep your feet dry once submerge. Excellent to protect you heel from your open heel dive fins.

Fins are not deep-if your concern is hitting rocks etc, I wouldn't worry. Fine anywhere deep enough for a paddle.

No experience with the foam fins, but very happy with "zoomers." My sense is that they will last as long as I will be able to get in the water with them!

I do not know how thick the soles are but I wore them with open heel Scubapro fins from the mid-nineties and they were fine.

These are great fins and I have had them now for three years. The rubber is not uncomfortable. It is not brick hard nor does it agitate your skin. I am not an expert or pro, but it feels very comfortable during use. I might suggest you put them on and off while in the water...

Most, if not all float tubers use fins to propel the tube on the water. The fins I use are designed to go over my wader boots. I guess you could use a paddle. I've seen some attachments on a long shaft with a small propellers that you could attach to a battery operated drill. (Google that) There are float tubes that have small motors too. But with this float tube? Fins work for me.

Well, in the fresh water pool where I use them they do. If you are in cold enough water for booties i would just try a garage sale pair of old Jet Fins.

I do use booties with my open-strap snorkel fins (a different fin by same manufacturer). My feet tend to blister easily, and I find less irritation when I wear the booties.

The fins are about 0.5", or slightly under after a bit of use and compression. it will just fill a 0.5" gap, but will not be a snug fit, and I'll guess a little air might get in on a windy day.

I own these fins -purchased a few years ago. They have held up beautifully for swimming in the ocean about one to two miles almost every day. Their weakest point is the strap. Be sure you always wet the fins and put them on wet feet. Then the strap is no trouble. I even use these as my dive fins now, really love them. So comfortable. These are the only fins I use now - and I have many different types from before I found these.They would not be good for deep free diving, however,

Only with small fins like FCS or Future. If you have a larger middle fin, like on a longboard, no.

We bought his & hers of this set mainly for the masks and snorkels. They are great, but fins are uncomfortable as we suspected they would be (slip-on with strap) and stay in the bag. The medium fit my wife's size 8 feet.

Comfort mostly if you plan on wearing the fins for more than a few minutes. It also gives you a snug fit otherwise the fins can move a bit when you swim. Also great if the fins are a little big it helps you to fit better.

I wear a size 8 1/2 shoe and I bought the 7-10 fins. The fins have an adjustable back strap that allows me the tighten it to my foot size. I have to tighten it in quite a bit to fit my foot.
