Proper fitting scuba fins maximize each kick underwater, thus cutting down on fatigue. Typically, fins are either open-heeled or closed-heeled and correspond to men’s and women’s shoe sizes. When shopping for new scuba fins, make sure that you actually try them on. Do not assume that the shoe size you wear on land will be as comfortable underwater. You may want to go up or down a size.
Divers who use an open heeled fin may also want to invest in a pair of dive boots or neoprene socks. These will protect your feet underwater. If you opt to go this route, make sure to have the socks or boots on while trying on fins to get a true fit.
