Shopper Hello, Just purchased Raptor fins, regular size for myself a size US 10/10.5. The underside of the foot compartment opening sits approximately one inch in from the rear of my sole. I'm a little worried about poor leverage, is this OK or have I gone for the wrong size? Narrow feet complicate fitting. Thanks.
LeisurePro S Nope. That sounds about right. Most open heelede fins sit a little short of the back of the foot. As long as the foot pocket is snug around the top of your foot and in front of your foot and you can pull the straps tight around the back of your ankle, you have the right size! It should feel just like an extension of your foot. Don't worry about leverage, the fin will feel much more natural in the water.
