Buying swimming fins

Hi everyone, I am going to buy a pair of swimming fins this weekend. I know that the fin itself should not be a long scuba-type, but rather small or medium the most. Is that right? The other thing: I read somewhere that flippers for swimmers should not have a hole on the flipper, but it should be solid. What I mean is. This is the "solid" one: file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/huy81225/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.pngfile:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/huy81225/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.pngwww.decathlon.co.uk/.../ And this has a "hole": www.tribord.com/.../ Which one of the two you recommend. the first one is not a good quality or at least it doesn't look like a professional thing. Just cheap rubber. I don't know if that's a factor when buying a fin or not. The second one I tried and it was fun. I would definitely buy those unless you -swimmers- says otherwise. Thanks for the answer:applaud:

    I've been using Tyr Split Fins for a while, and I always recommend them. They provide very good power and feel.100% agree...best fins I have used....although the Finis Z2 are a close second. I had to research these fins just because Paul Smith and Jazz agreed on something. I couldn't find it, but do the fins have a silicon shoe or rubber?
