fly with fins a good idea?

Here's my disclaimer in that I'm no where near mastering fly. Did want to share what worked for me in regards to fins. I have a long (size 9.5) foot that is very narrow. Found out that the fins I was using were not the right size for me. Although the appropriate length, they were too wide which prevented me from kicking fully during swim and off the walls. I went down a size and now my fins stay on nicely. Also, the smaller size does not fool with my timing during fly and free swimming. Finally, I learned how to kick better without fins (did this through good old fashioned kick sets - some with shoes). Now, I can kick and swim quite well with fins. Too bad we hardly use them in practices. But when we do, I no longer cringe. So, back to the initial question. I like fins for short fly or free speed sets - used sparingly.
