The solution (if you find them too loose for whatever reason) is to wear those double star shaped rubber bands that are sold for making sure your foot does not come out of the foot pockets. In spanish they are called "sujeta-aletas", but I have no idea how guys here reffer to them.



I wear them all year round because I use the same fins in winter than in summer with a 5mm sock. Which means that when you go deep in summer (20m for me is deep), the sock compresses and the foot wiggles a bit inside. I don't want to lose a fin down there!

Thanks Mikel. I use those star bands for the foot as well. I think here we call them "fin keepers". These S-Wings fit better than the Fireblades, but fit even better with the fin keepers on, so I'll continue to use them.

I did some additional stretching the other night and tested in the pool yesterday. Much better and no ache this time.
