I have heard numerous articles of how using flippers can improve your kick.... I would like to hear from those who have used flippers before on your training sets and the pros and cons of using one. I admit that I have tried it out before, but usually results in cramps after usage, and the skin at the back of my heel starts peeling. Despite all the bad exp I had, I still believe there certainly must be some good in using flippers. Thanks. :)

I have used fins with the thought of making my ankles more flexible and yahta yahta yahta. It did not work for me and as Jim stated before, I use my fins once in a while, to give my arms a break.
My kick is really bad, and it looks like it will remain that way forever...
WHat I did do was swim more breastroke. That's when my kick is really good and I feel it fills the void!
