How do you know what fin is right for you?

Hey everyone I started swimming this Sept. I bought a pair of Kiefer silicone training fins and I think I like them ( they are very comfortable). Most of the people at the pool I swim with are using the speedo optimus training fins. So what ones are better? Or does it matter? I have trouble with just plain old kicking so I thought the shorter ones might help me as I would still have to do some work. I am confused. Can someone help me? Katie I like my Alpha Fins...:woot: www.zura.com/alphafins.html Even if they do make me look like a member of ther Keebler Elf Swim Team... I find they hit my legs in the quads...but they are very flexible. Just don't become reliant on them. use them for specific reasons...not all the time.
