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

    Yes, they're the same ones (I checked that page from my mac). Karen Pipes-Neilsen was demoing them yesterday, they seem to have her seal of approval. How durable are yours? Foam objects aren't usually known for their durability. Well, I only got them in June but other guys that use them at the pool have been using them since I started swimming in earnest back in Sept. 06. I treat them well, heep them in the mesh bag, and rinse them after the swim. At the moment I leave them in the trunk of my car but with cold weather approaching I'll have to bring them in.
