Opinion about Zoomers Z2 (fins)

Originally posted by hmlee What you need is fin booties! Finis makes some (I got mine from Kiefer)...I mean you can use socks or stuff, but I find the neoprene fin booties protect my feet and feel a lot more natural in the water than a pair of athletic socks. Hmlee has a good suggestion. I have the same problem, but a lower tech solution is good ole' duct tape (quack). I wrap it around my feet over the spot where I get rub blisters (you want to go all the way around your foot, and get the tape to stick to itself, which it does well, better than sticking to your foot). More than once is not necessary. The best part about it is that your foot is still basically the same size and you can use the same set of fins. My problem with fin booties (or socks at any rate) is that they make my feet too big to fit into the fins. Duct tape doesn't have that problem. Matt
