I've been considering purchasing some new fins, but I just don't know what to get. I have been using long fins (not scuba ones) for 14 years. I have severe arthritis in my knees and and ankles. Both of my ankle joints are fused. Recently, I was diagnosed with herniated discs in my neck and lower back. I'm beginning to wonder if my long fins are making the back pain worse. I was looking into the Aqua Sphere Alpha fins (those little blue, foot-looking fins that float). Does anyone have experience with both types of fins? Which would be better for bad knees/ankles/back? Thanks guys!!

I absolutely loathe/hate/despise, etc. distance work. But, I will do the distance sets to work on my breathing and pacing. I wear fins to make the sets go by faster (otherwise I'd be in the pool for over 3 hours). I also use them for SDK sets.
