I've starting swimming again after about 8 years off. I'm trying to get back into shape to lose a little weight and hopefully start competing again! Anyway, when I was swimming I'm pretty sure we all just used big fins. Now it seems there's about 100 different types (long, medium, short, really short, some have holes, etc). I have been thinking about buying some, but I'm lost. Maybe I shouldn't even use fins? Any suggestions?

Any particular brand? Sometimes my feet get a bit torn up and I wouldn't mind investing in some fins that would be gentler.
I have found the Aquasphere fins are the most comfortable and least likely to scrape up my feet, in fact they are the only fins I've used that didn't scrape my feet when used extensively. They are made out of a soft material that seems to mold itself to your feet. I have four other types of fins and only ever use the Aquasphere fins. As someone else noted they weigh very which is a nice bonus.
