I was astonished to stumble across these when I wasn't really looking for them because I'd given up searching. So I bought two pairs. They are identical to the pair I have had and been using for thirty years now, where the foot pockets started to fray a few years ago. I've been patching them up with bits of inner tube. I have since experimented with other fins that were OK but didn't quite fit right. However, at first I couldn't get these new ones on. The foot pocket rubber is so stiff. But I managed to get them on in the bath so I'm confident I'll be able to use them while on holiday in the summer, and that they just need wearing in as they're exactly the same size as my old ones which I don't remember being that stiff when new, but it was a long time ago. So I hope the rubber hasn't changed, although my foot size might have changed a bit. Arguably, they're nothing special, but they are just right for me. Not too heavy, not too light, good decent propulsion, and a good width on the foot pocket. Not sure why I bought two pairs. I obviously intend on being around awhile! Always wash the salt off rubber fins after use.
