So, I recently bought a pair of the Positive Drive fins--site here.
I ordered Women's XL b/c the next size up would be half a size larger than my running shoe size. But now I wonder if I should have sized up. I'm not anxious for my fins to fall off, but I also don't like my toes bleeding when I'm finished with a workout.
Is there any adjustment I can make of the size I have--or should I bite the bullet and order a larger size. (I'm sure I can find a taker for the ones I have now.)
What's your experience w/ these fins? Is there any hope of adjusting the fit so the current ones are more comfortable? Even with Tri-Slide, the chafing was pretty bad.
Thanks for any tips! (Or bids, if you want to buy the ones I have--they might be blood stained a little, but nothing contagious lol!)
My experience with fins has been that they all chafe.
Have you tried the Aqua sphere fins made of foam? Those look like they might not chafe.
Thanks for the suggestion--did try Aquasphere fins once--and the heel strap cut into my ankle so I pretty much ditched them after one use. I have Finis Zoomers, which can be tamed with enough Tri-Slide. But for some reason the Positive Drive gave me a lot of negative vibes. :toohurt:
I have a pair of Tyr long fins which don't chafe, but are awkward to use on turns. They were, however, a godsend when I was having shoulder pain. I sometimes still use them, but they're bulky to carry in my swim bag most times.
