It's time for me to get some fins. One brand recommended to me is the Fitness Fin found on the neofin.com website.
I'm also considering the Tyr split fin.
I've also seen mentioned here the Zoomers and Kiefer fins (although looking at the Kiefer website I see quite a selection of styles so I'm not sure which is for what!)
Thanks for any feedback.

I used the Zoomers for many years and liked them a lot, my times improved and it was fun swimming with them. Several years ago it seemed that they were aggravating my low back pain. I switched to Slim Fins made by Force Fin and I am enjoying swimming with these fins and they don't put stress on the lower back.
I like Slim Fins, too. Other types of fins that I've used seemed overly stiff, and also gave me the feeling that they were doing too much (since fins, for me, are a training tool that I use with the ultimate goal of finless swimming).
