I know they just test marketed all these various fins but I still have a question. Whenever I use fins I get bad leg craps and pain in the front/side of my shins and foot pain. Has anyone ever experienced this? And tried a different fin? a shorter one. Mine seem to be a medium lenght. Any recommendations?

I love my Hydro Finz. These guys: www.swimandtri.com/.../prodView.asp
I used zoomers before that, I like Hydrofinz a lot more. They are a bit softer then zoomers, and give my legs more of a workout when I want a leg workout.
I'm not prone to leg cramps so I can't be of a lot of help there beyond the general advice (don't get dehydrated and similar). In my case shin and other aches and pains for the most part go away with enough training and strengthening the weaker parts.
How long have you been using fins? Are you experiencing occasional discomfort or excessive aches and pains? Are you thinking you may be heading towards injuring yourself?
